Dosson. "I don't care if you show us a good one." "Oh I'll show you a good one don't you worry." Mr. Flack's tone was ever that of keeping the poor gentleman mildly but firmly in his place. "Well, you've got to order the dinner then," said Francie. "Well, you'll see how I could do it!" He towered over her in the pride of this feat. "He has got an interest in some place," Delia declared.
When he contemplated a lifetime at Flack's, a lifetime of bee-dodging and carpet-beating and water-lugging, and reflected that, but for a few innocent words words spoken, mark you, in a pure spirit of kindliness and brotherly love with the object of putting a bit of optimistic pep into sister! he might have been in a position to touch a millionaire brother-in-law for the needful whenever he felt disposed, the iron entered into Nutty's soul.
"He has taken us to ever so many stores where he gets his commission." "Well, I'd pay you to take them round," said Mr. Dosson; and with much agreeable trifling of this kind it was agreed that they should sally forth for the evening meal under Mr. Flack's guidance.
There was something about the American girl, he reflected, which seemed to put a man at his ease, a charm and directness all her own. Yes, he liked Elizabeth, and he liked this dwelling-place of hers. He was quite willing to stay on here indefinitely. Nature had done well by Flack's.
"Allow what?" "Why Mr. Flack's vile interference. You won't let him do as he likes with us, I suppose, will you?" "It's all done it's all done!" said Francie. The tears had suddenly started into her eyes again. "Well, he's so smart that it IS likely he's too smart," her father allowed. "But what did they want you to do about it? that's what I want to know?"
The correspondent of the Reverberator had come back. Mr. Flack's relations with his old friends didn't indeed, after his return, take on the familiarity and frequency of their intercourse a year before: he was the first to refer to the marked change in the situation.
Flack's taking in some way, and for a certain time, peculiar possession of her; and then that he was already doing so, that he had drawn her away from the others, who were stopping behind to appreciate the view, that he made her walk faster, and that he had ended by interposing such a distance that she was practically alone with him.
Delia's hint however was all-sufficient for her father; he would have thought it a gross breach of friendly loyalty to take part in a festival not graced by Mr. Flack's presence. His idea of loyalty was that he should scarcely smoke a cigar unless his friend was there to take another, and he felt rather mean if he went round alone to get shaved.
He obliged us to affect a passionate interest in the progress of county matches, to work up unnatural enthusiasms. What a fuss there would be when some well-trained boy, panting as if from Marathon, appeared with an evening paper! "I say, you chaps, Middlesex all out for a hundred and five!" Under Flack's pressure I became, I confess, a cricket humbug of the first class.
Does she still live rent free, as she did in her nephew's time?" "But what can I do?" He lowered his voice. "An old lady, so very vulgar, and almost bedridden." "Turn her out," said Cecil bravely. Sir Harry sighed, and looked at the villas mournfully. He had had full warning of Mr. Flack's intentions, and might have bought the plot before building commenced: but he was apathetic and dilatory.
