"Now, Captain De Baron, would you like to be a dog?" This she said turning round and looking him full in the face. "Your dog I would." At that moment, just over his horse's withers, she saw the face of Guss Mildmay who was leaning on her father's arm. Guss bowed to her, and she was obliged to return the salute. Jack De Baron turned his face to the path and seeing the lady raised his hat.
You and I, Guss, have made a mistake from the beginning. Being poor people we have lived as though we were rich." "I have never done so." "Oh yes, you have. Instead of dining out in Fitzroy Square and drinking tea in Tavistock Place, you have gone to balls in Grosvenor Square and been presented at Court." "It wasn't my fault."
They were found to have doubled in number. That does not mean that in an instant again as many red blood corpuscles had come into existence, but it does mean that before the cold "guss" one-half of them were dozing lazily in the corners. The cold water stirred them up, forced them into the circulation, made them travel and attend to business.
"Pretty well, thank you: they'd be a deal more comfortable though, if you'd pay for them." "Did you hear, Miss O'Kelly, what Jerry Blake did yesterday?" said Nicholas Dillon aloud, across the table. "Indeed, I did not," said Guss "but I hope, for the sake of the Blakes in general, he didn't do anything much amiss?" "I'll tell you then," continued Nicholas.
He told me that my Aunt Eliza, his first wife, was dead, and that he had married a second time; Lizzie Guss, my cousin, I thought was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. They were all very anxious to have us remain several days, but as I had some business to attend to in New York, I was obliged to return that day.
"The most healthy middle-aged gentleman in London! There might be half a dozen cradles, Guss, before that day. If it will do you good, you shall say I'm the greatest rascal walking." "That will do me no good." "But I don't know that I can give you any other privilege." Then there was a long pause during which they were sauntering together under an old oak tree in the park.
She certainly did not intend that Jack De Baron should be one of her enemies. When she had been in London about a week or two Jack De Baron came to see her. She knew that he had spent his Christmas at Curry Hall, and she knew that Guss Mildmay had also been there. That Guss Mildmay should have accepted such an invitation was natural enough, but she thought that Jack had been very foolish.
"Now, General, you've really made no breakfast at all," said the hospitable hostess: "do let Guss give you a hot cup of coffee." "Not a drop more, Mrs O'Kelly. I've done more than well; but, if you'll allow me, I'll just take a crust of bread in my pocket." "And what would you do that for? you'll be coming back to lunch, you know."
As she rode on with Captain De Baron she remembered all that had been said by Guss Mildmay and Mrs. Houghton, and remembered also her own decision that nothing of that kind could matter to her. It was an understood thing that ladies and gentlemen when riding should fall into this kind of intercourse.
Frank, as he walked up to the house with his sister, endeavoured to induce her to give him a promise that she would tell no tales as to what she had heard and seen. "Of course, Frank, it must be all nonsense," she had said; "and you shouldn't amuse yourself in such a way." "Well, but, Guss, come, we have always been friends; don't let us quarrel just when you are going to be married."
