Madame de Morteyn kissed all the girls on both cheeks, and the old vicomte embraced his nieces, Betty Castlemaine and Dorothy Marche, and threatened to kiss the others, including Molly Hesketh. He desisted, he assured them, only because he feared Sir Thorald might feel bound to follow his example; to which Lady Hesketh replied that she didn't care and smiled at the vicomte.
Alec was not a person of fluent discourse, and when he had inquired whether Hesketh was going to make a long stay, the conversation might have languished but for this. "Is that Birmingham?" he asked, nodding kindly at the spoons. "Came to us through a house in Liverpool," Alec responded. "I expect you had a stormy crossing, Mr Hesketh." "It was a bit choppy.
He and Mr Farquharson waited, after the meeting, for a personal word with a good many of those present, but it was suggested to Hesketh that the ladies might be tired, and that he had better get them home without unnecessary delay.
It was uncommonly hot in the full glare of the sun as Hesketh in his dandy, Jane on her "tattoo," and I on foot set forward for the forest house at Harwan, which lay some five miles away across the fields, where the rice is now being busily cut. At the foot of a very brown and parched-looking hill stood the little wooden hut, facing the valley of the Pohru and the Kaj-nag range.

"Oh, they're just as much in earnest some of the time," Lorne laughed, "but maybe not all the time!"
But I guess it won't matter to Hesketh; he's got a lot of sense about things of that sort. Why he served out in South Africa volunteered. Mrs Emmett needn't worry.
