He had been at Fulham on three or four occasions, it was so he put it, but his visits had, in truth, been only three, and he thought that this niece of Sir Thomas Underwood possessed every charm that a woman need possess, "except money," said Ralph. "She has no fortune, if you care about that." "I don't care about money," said the Squire.
It was painful to Soames to see the chairs his aunts had sat on, the little grand piano they had practically never played, the books whose outsides they had gazed at, the china they had dusted, the curtains they had drawn, the hearth-rug which had warmed their feet; above all, the beds they had lain and died in sold to little dealers, and the housewives of Fulham. And yet what could one do?
Lately I have learned that she died in London in 1900 and is buried in Clements Cemetery, Fulham. This was one of the most positive demonstrations I have ever seen of the fact that showmanship is the largest factor in putting an act over.
His young wife, I suppose, liked the neighbourhood of London; and when elderly gentlemen do marry, you know they are no longer their own masters; but if you had ever come to Fulham ah! then, indeed, my uncle would have rejoiced to see his old friend." "Your lordship thinks so," said Mr. Winsley with a sardonic smile. "But that must have been true; he was out, you may depend on it."
Fulham may seek for wealth, and Kensington for art, but when did the men of Bayswater care for anything but glory?" Immediately behind the banner, and almost completely hidden by it, came the Provost of the city, clad in splendid robes of green and silver with white fur and crowned with bay. He was an anxious little man with red whiskers, originally the owner of a small sweet-stuff shop.
Out of the by-street, Rosamund turned into Fulham Road, and there found a cab to convey her home. On entering the house, she gave instructions that she was at home to nobody this afternoon; then she sat down at the table, as though to work on a drawing, but at the end of an hour her brush had not yet been dipped in colour.
"If she don't cotton to a man who's going to run in the Great Race at Fulham," he said, "there are plenty as good as she is who will! That's not the difficulty. Bother that!" "I tell you again, I have nothing to do with your difficulties," Julius resumed. "Take the rest of the day to consider what I have said to you.
If he would only have heard me, my madness in going to Fulham might have had its excuse." She sighed bitterly, and said no more. Sir Patrick took her hand. "It has its excuse," he said, kindly. "Your motive is beyond reproach. Let me add to quiet your mind that, even if Delamayn had been willing to hear you, and had accepted the condition, the result would still have been the same.
Now my friend, the elder Fulham, is a steady man, and is in want of a good lad for an apprentice. With your leave, I will speak to him, and get him to take George; and as to the fee, I will take care and settle that for you. I am glad I have found you all out at last. No thanks, pray. Recollect, I am only paying my old debts."
"I'll dine with you to-day; but to-morrow I am off to Fulham, to be introduced to my aunt. Can't you fancy her? grey gros-de-Naples gown: gold chain with an eyeglass; rather fat; two pugs, and a parrot! 'Start not, this is fancy's sketch! I have not yet seen the respectable relative with my physical optics. What shall we have for dinner? Let me choose, you were always a bad caterer."
