I know nothing about this kind of thing, but I should say it was very good. Makes one uncomfortable doesn't it, Mrs. Glazzard? Do something pleasanter next time." "Precisely what I was saying," fell from Serena. They talked awhile, and Mrs. Glazzard left the room. "I want to know your mind on a certain point," said Denzil. "Mrs. Wade has been asking me to bring her together with your wife and you.
Glazzard meant, papa, put in Serena, with scarcely disguised contempt. "Ha! oh! To be sure to be sure! Quite so, Mr. Glazzard. A very amoosing lecture, all the same. Not of course to be taken seriously. Good evening, Mr. Glazzard good evening!" The Mayoress again inclined. Serena gave her acquaintance an enigmatic look, murmured a leave-taking, and, with an affectionate nod to Ivy, passed on.
My love," he turned to the Mayoress, "let me present to you Mr. Eustace Glazzard Mr. William's brother." The Mayoress laid her fan on her bosom, and inclined graciously. She was a portly and high-coloured woman, with hanging nether lip. Glazzard conversed with her and her husband in a tone of amiable liveliness.
It was a civil-tongued serving-woman who came to ask if he purposed having luncheon at home to-day. No; he was on the point of going forth. Big Ben was striking twelve. At a quarter-past, Glazzard took a cab which conveyed him to one of the Inns of Court. He ascended stairs, and reached a door on which was inscribed the name of Mr. Stark, Solicitor.
You're young enough yet." The listener mused, smiling in a self-conscious way that obliged Glazzard to avert his face for a moment lest he should betray contemptuous amusement. "Shall you be there in that town to-morrow?" asked the young man. "No, I have business in quite another part. That election," he added, with an air of importance, "is not the only one I am looking after."
"You lean towards Socialism?" "Christian Socialism if you know what that signifies." "I have an idea. A very improving doctrine, no doubt." They dismounted, and began the ascent of the hillside by a path which wound among trees. Not far from the summit they came to a bench which afforded a good view. "Suppose we stop here," Glazzard suggested. "It doesn't look as if we should be disturbed."
If I found myself at one of the clubs of which Glazzard speaks, I should very likely get hooted down as an insolent aristocrat. I don't go in for crazy extremes. There'll never be a Utopia, and it's only a form of lying to set such ideals before the multitude. I believe in the distinction of classes; the only class I would altogether abolish is that of the hungry and the ragged.
"She has been very prominent lately." "How?" The lady glanced at her husband, who said quietly, "We'll talk over it some other time." But Tom was not to be repressed. "Mother means that Revivalist business," he exclaimed. "Mrs. Wade went against it." "My boy, no meddling with things of that kind," said his father, smiling, but firm. He turned to Denzil. "Has Glazzard exhibited anything lately?"
Now, there seems to be no doubt that Liversedge would gladly withdraw in favour of a better man. What I want you to do is to set this thing in train for me. I am in earnest." "You astonish me! I can't reconcile such an ambition with" "No, no; of course not." Glazzard spoke with unwonted animation. "You don't know what my life is and has been.
But I should like to be made a little surer that you have been telling me the truth. How do I know that my wife is really living as you say? It seems to me I ought to have a sight of her before I go talking to magistrates." Glazzard reflected. "Nobody," pursued the other, "would make such a charge just on hearsay evidence. It would only be common sense for me to see her first."
