"Yes," said the rector; "but they are queer people, those Forsythes. The young man seems quite annoyed at having been summoned: he remarked to your aunt that there was nothing the matter with his mother, and she must be moved to her own house; there was nothing so bad for her as to have a lot of old women fussing over her. I wish you could have seen Adele's face!
It was not altogether the companionship which fascinated Lois: the sunny drawing-room of the house the Forsythes had hired was filled with dainty things, and light, graceful furniture, and many harmlessly silly novels; there was a general air about it of belonging to a life she had never seen which made it a pleasure to come into it.
She could have lied, of course, and told him that she wished to telephone her mother, but she had not yet been cornered sufficiently to resort to so distasteful a weapon.... As she left the room she found herself wondering whether Stillman had by any chance left the Tom Forsythes. She looked at the clock. It was not quite eight o'clock.
Just now one finger was between the pages of "A Sentimental Journey." "She was here," said Mrs. Dale, still smiling. "I was telling her the Forsythes were coming. It is an excellent thing; nothing could be better." "What do you mean?" asked Mr. Dale. "Mean?" cried his wife. "What should I be apt to mean? You have no sense about such things, Henry."
It seems so unfair, for Mr. Forsythe's salary is exactly what Dad's is; yet they can travel, and keep two maids, and entertain all the time! And as for family, why, Mother's family is one of the finest in the country, and Dad's had two uncles who were judges and what were the Forsythes! However," Margaret dried her eyes and put away her handkerchief, "however, it's for Bruce I mind most!"
To achieve whist" Miss Deborah held her head very straight "to achieve whist is the work of a lifetime! I've no patience with a young person who says a thing like that." Miss Ruth was silenced for a moment; she had no excuse to offer. "Adele Dale says the Forsythes are coming back in April," she said, at last. "Yes, I know it," answered Miss Deborah. "I suppose it will all be arranged then.
However, both ladies parted for the night with unaltered convictions, and the younger sister, opening the daguerreotype for one last look by her bedroom candle, murmured to herself, "I wonder what Deborah would think if she knew he said 'Ruth'?" The Forsythes went away the next morning.
All through the dinner hour at the Tom Forsythes he had thought about her, had speculated vaguely what mischance or effrontery had been responsible for her ill-timed visit to Flint's. He remembered trying to decide whether the young woman was extraordinarily deep or extraordinarily simple and frank.
The Tom Forsythes of Ross ... Edington's sister ... Ned Stillman! The sequence of ideas flashed through Claire's mind with flashing detachment. She leaned back in her seat and raised the wine-glass in obvious pretense to her lips. Flint was watching her keenly: an ugly gleam was in his eyes. "Well, Miss Robson, you might just as well make up your mind to finish that glass of wine first as last.
He's insane about London, but I could see that he's glad to get back to the Province. Mr. Forsythe is very abrupt, but ridiculously proud of him " "These Winscombes," Howat interrupted, "what about them? The Forsythes are a common occurrence." "David's been gone more than three years," she replied.
