And so, having satisfied his sufficiently elastic conscience, he departed on Saturday for Springfield and adjacent points. He had the usual "topping" time at Hal's and tore himself away with the utmost reluctance from the house-party, had half a mind, indeed, to wire Madeline he couldn't come to Holyoke.
Judith and Lawrence had gone upstairs to do their lessons, and Professor Marshall at once broached the subject by saying with considerable hesitation, "Sylvia well how about this house-party at the Fiskes'?" Sylvia was on the defense in a moment. "Well, how about it?" she repeated. "I hope you don't feel like going."
If so, would the house-party at The Locusts proceed immediately to The Beeches to spend the morning in the rehearsing of tableaux, the selection of costumes, the manufacture of paper roses, and the pleasure of each other's honorable company in the partaking of a picnic-lunch under the trees?
Hugh, pausing in his badinage with Mrs. Rindge, looked at her. "Cheer up, Honora," he said. "I'm afraid this first house-party is too much for her," said Mrs. Kame. Honora made some protest that seemed to satisfy them, tried to rally herself, and succeeded sufficiently to pass muster.
It's ours; it's the whole family's; it's mine. And I won't stand it not a second time. Here I have told everybody, got my Boston list all made up, too, and all my plans made. Didn't I have new lights put into the ball-room especially, and a lot of repairs made on the house a new bath-room, and everything? And all my house-party guests invited?

On a peach-coloured divan sat Lady Narborough pretending to listen to the Duke's description of the last Brazilian beetle that he had added to his collection. Three young men in elaborate smoking-suits were handing tea-cakes to some of the women. The house-party consisted of twelve people, and there were more expected to arrive on the next day.
"I also hope you will get well quickly, Dinah," she said, "as I believe Mr. Studley and his sister are staying on mainly on your account. Sir Eustace, I understand, is returning very shortly, and I have asked him to join our house-party." "Good-bye, dear!" murmured Rose, bending her smiling lips to kiss Dinah's forehead. "I am sorry your good time has had such a tragic end.
Won't she look lovely in it, Mr. Byrd?" "Glorious!" said Stefan, boyishly aglow; and "I don't believe two and two do make four, after all," thought Constance. All through luncheon they discussed the plan with animation, Constance enlisting Mary's help at the Suffrage Fete the first week in January in advance payment, as she said, for the house-party.
Only an initiated few spend their holidays at Credence Green, and they have trained the householders to keep the place select. Penfentenyou made a grievance of this as we walked up the lane, followed at a distance by the organ-grinder. "Suppose he is having a house-party," he said: "Anything's possible in this insane land." Just at that minute we found ourselves opposite an empty villa.
