She was talking about it the other day, and she burst out crying. She said he had been her idol." "What is the matter?" "Oh, Ferdy's selfishness." "He is a brute! Think of a man quarrelling with his mother! Why !" He went into a reverie in which his face grew very soft, while Mrs. Lancaster watched him silently. Presently he started.
Maybe you remember Ferdy, who had the nerve to marry Marjorie Ellins, the heavyweight sister of Mr. Robert's, here a few years back? Well, that was when the Ellinses acquired a brunette member of the flock. Ambrose is a full brother of Ferdy's. In every sense. That is, he was in the good old days when Mr. Volstead was only a name towards the end of roll call.
Gordon gave an appreciative grunt which drew Ferdy's eyes on him. "You think so too, Keith, I suppose?" he said. "Well, you needn't. You need not be claiming to be such a friend of his. He is not so much of a friend of yours, I can tell you. I have heard him say as many mean things about you as any one." It was Gordon's opportunity. He had been waiting for one. "I don't believe it.

"Yes; Ferdy said something, and Keith took it up. He seems pretty fond of you. I think he had it in for Ferdy, for Ferdy had been bedevilling him about the place. You know old Wickersham owns it. Ferdy's strong point is not taste. So I think Gordon was feeling a bit sore, and when Ferdy lit into you, Keith slapped him." Norman was all alert now. "Well? Which licked?" "Oh, that was all.
Where before Gordon studied as a task, he now worked for ambition, and that key unlocked unknown treasures. Mr. Rhodes fell in with Norman just after his interview with Mr. Wickersham. He was still feeling sore over Mr. Wickersham's treatment of his report. He had worked hard over it. He attributed it in part to Ferdy's complaint of him.
I wrote to the 'Lady Angelica, since Ferdy's name for her is so well chosen, telling her all, giving her solemn assurances of my unchangeable purpose toward her, and scorn of my uncle's mercenary ambition. She replied very quietly: 'She, also, was not without pride; she would come and see for herself'; and she came at once. "The family arrived in London in the evening.
