Toward the end of the month a crew was picked among the inmates of Ward 6 to man a construction camp a few miles to the north where the state was building a dam. Clancy was among the number, and Fordham and Wainright, junior. Monet was offered the choice of assisting Fred Starratt in the dining room or going out with the kitchen staff to camp. He chose the dining-room job.
"But " she persisted, looking scared and white, yet what was Fordham to her? "but I have heard him over and over again, Mr. Thorne. I can't be mistaken." Percival was disconcerted too. He looked at the carpet, at his slippered feet at anything but her face: "You have heard some one, I suppose: I don't know who comes in late. Not poor old Fordham."
There was no worship of the rising sun there, for when Lord Fordham, in proposing the health of the bride and bridegroom, spoke of them as future possessors, in the tone of a father speaking of his heir apparent, there was a sub-audible "No, no," and poor Cecil fairly and flagrantly broke down in returning thanks.
"Did Janet understand that I was waiting for those letters, I wonder?" "You had better go and see, Babie," said Miss Ogilvie. "Perhaps she cannot find them." Babie set off, and John proceeded to explain that Mrs. Evelyn was still detained in London by old Lady Fordham, who continued to be kept between life and death by her doctors.
Passmore in a protected corner of a side porch, smoking. Most of the storm was now over, but it still rained. "Tired of bowling, eh?" said Bert's father, who was a wholesale dealer in rugs. "Mr. Passmore, we want to ask you some questions," said Roger. "Do you know an elderly gentleman here by the name of Fordham?" "Fordham? Yes, I've met him. Nice man, too, but rather feeble."
Hanny was too shy to talk much, although she had been so brave on the poet's old stoop at Fordham. Perhaps, really, there was no opportunity, Ben kept the floor so entirely. They went in and looked at the drawings from Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane and Katrina.
It was evident that Lord Fordham had insensibly become much more the real head and master of the house than at the time when the Brownlow party had last been there, and that he had taken on him much more of the duties of his position than he had then seemed capable of fulfilling.
"And do you know that you are giving me the sweetest drop of all, today?" said Fordham, giving one shy, fervent kiss to the hand that clasped the arm of the chair just as sounds of ascending steps caused them to start asunder and go their separate ways. 'Tis true bright hours together told, And blissful dreams in secret shared, Serene or solemn, gay or bold, Still last in fancy unimpaired. Keble.
It was a surprise to meet him at All Saints on St. Peter's day. "Come with us, Infanta," he said, pausing at the door of the carriage. "I am to have my drive early to-day, as the ladies are going to this great garden-party." Sydney said she would walk home with Mrs. Brownlow, and be taken up when Babie was set down. Fordham gave the word to go to the binder's.
Friar John's University studies had given him such a start that he had to work less hard than his cousin, and could afford himself the week for which he was invited; but Jock declared that he could not even lose the thirty-six hours that Armine was to take for the journey to Fordham and back. Every one declared this nonsense, and even Mrs.
