If you tried to vote some ward-heeler would challenge you and you'd like as not be hauled off to the lock-up. And what was the good of it! The politicians got what they wanted. But this he kept to himself. "Granny'll put a badge on you," promised the flapper. "We have to take advantage of every little means."
"And he certainly didn't buy her though he might have. It appears that in that happy land a wife costs from five camels up; five camels for a flapper and so on up to thirty or forty camels for an old widow, who invariably brings the highest quotation." "In Mongolia age evidently ripens and mellows women as it does wine in other countries," reflected Mr. Tutt.
He broke away from her at Breede's call. The flapper jerked her head twice at him, very neatly, as the car passed the tennis court. She was beginning a practise volley with Tommy Hollins, who was disporting himself like a young colt. "Chubbins!" he thought. Not a bad name for her, though it had come queerly from Breede.
" but I wouldn't let them know I was afraid. And I laughed at them and told them they didn't know you at all and that you'd come home come home." He found he could strangely not be an upstart another moment in the presence of that flapper. He was over kneeling beside her, reaching his arms up about her, pressing her cheek down to his. The flapper held him tightly and wept.
But no one, not even the giddiest flapper of them all, had said even that! Perhaps, incredible as it might seem, Bainbridge did not know about Mary? She had been, Desire remembered, a visitor there when Benis met her. Perhaps her stay had been brief. Perhaps the ill-fated courtship had taken place elsewhere? Even then, it seemed almost unbelievably stupid of Bainbridge not to have known something.
"I forgot to ask what you take, mornings," pealed the flapper. "Take mornings?" "For breakfast, silly! Because I think it's best for you to take just eggs and toast; a little fruit of course; not all that meat and things." "Oh, yes, of course; eggs and things. Never want much." "Well, all right, I just perfectly knew you'd see it that way. I'm making up lists.
"Oh, yes! Of course!" sneered the other. "She's younger and prettier than I quite a flapper. I was that way once. And I suppose you said the same thing to some one else you wanted to get rid of before you took me on. Oh, to the devil with the men, anyhow!" Minnie gasped. "Shocked you, did I, kid? Well, you'll hear worse than that, believe me. If I was to tell "
Thus has this rebel young generation forced out into the open country with it all the contented young women in their late twenties and early thirties, who may not have been feeling rebellious at all. And the wives of forty-five also, to compete all over again for their own husbands. For "poaching" on the wifely preserves has become the favorite flapper sport!
The Seneschal, who had thrown aside his flapper, was bored by the silence and went to join the servants; he preferred to listen in the kitchen to the cries of the housekeeper, the threats and blows of the cook, the noise of the serving boys; at last the monotonous motion of the spits that turned the roast gradually caused him to fall into pleasant musings.
You're for lanky youths with whom you can talk nonsense, and laugh at silly jokes. You belong to the type known in England as the flapper that weird, paradoxical thing with the appearance of flagrant innocence and the mind of an errand boy. Your unholy form of enjoyment is to put men into false positions and play baby when they lay hands on you.
