Time to be dressing: sun sets at six-forty, he said, and glanced at the stained West, with an accompanying vision of outspread primroses flooding banks of shadowy fields near Lakelands. He crossed the road and rang. Upon the opening of the door, there was a cascade of muslin downstairs. His darling Fredi stood out of it, a dramatic Undine.
Here's a man who visits me regularly once a week or more, has been familiar for years four, at least; and he wants to speak to me, and must obtain the "privilege" by special appointment! What can be the meaning of it? 'You will hear to-morrow afternoon, Nataly said, seeing one paved way to the meaning a too likely meaning. . . 'He hasn't been . . . nothing about Fredi, surely!
You know, I dined with that couple, after the private twenty minutes with Marsett: he formally propounded the invitation, as we were close on his hour, rather late: and I wanted to make the woman happy, besides putting a seal of cordiality on his good intentions politic! And subsequently I heard from her, that you'll think nothing of it! Fredi promised to stand by her at the altar.
He allowed, that she could not be quite gay. More deeply touched the next minute, he felt in her voice, in her look, in her phrasing of speech, an older, much older daughter than the Fredi whom he had conducted to Moorsedge. 'Kiss me, he said.
Incidentally, he named the sum his Fredi would convey to her husband; with, as was calculable, the further amount his only child would inherit. A curious effect was produced on them. Though they were not imaginatively mercenary, as the creatures tainted with wealth commonly are, they talked of the sum over and over in the solitude of their chamber.
Next morning after breakfast, she plants herself in the middle of the room, and strikes her attitude for song, and positively, almost with the Sanfredini's voice illusion of it, you know, trills us out more than I could have believed credible to be recollected by a child. But I've told you the story. We called her Fredi from that day.
She performed her part for his comfort, though not prattling; and he missed his Fredi's delicious warble of the prattle running rill-like over our daily humdrum. Simeon Fenellan would have helped. Then suddenly came enlivenment: a recollection of news in the morning's paper. 'No harm before Fredi, my dear. She's a young woman now. And no harm, so to speak-at least, not against the Sanfredini.
Tears lined her eyelids. 'Who would not be, dearest dada! But there is nothing to bear except the honour. 'You like him? You and I always have the same tastes, Fredi. Now there was a reddening of the sun at the mount; all the sky aflame. How could he know that it was not the heart in the face!
Here's a letter I have from the Sanfredini, dated Milan, fresh this morning; invitation to bring the god-child to her villa on Como in May; desirous to embrace her. She wrote to the office. Not a word of her duque. She has pitched him to the winds. You may like to carry it off to Fredi and please her. 'I have business, Dudley replied. 'Away to it, then! said Victor.
Dudley pursed to remark, that he could not say he did know. And good for Fredi if he did not know, and had his objections to the knowledge! But he was like the men who escape colds by wrapping in comforters instead of trusting to the spin of the blood. 'She played poor Dartrey pranks before he buried he, behaved well to her; and that says much for him; he has: a devil of a temper.
