When they landed again, Gillow, always acutely bored by scenery, and particularly resentful of midnight aesthetics, suggested a night club near at hand, which was said to be jolly. The Prince warmly supported this proposal; but on Susy's curt refusal they started their rambling again, circuitously threading the vague dark lanes and making for the Piazza and Florian's ices.
He told them that the army had nothing but the clothes they stood up in; that their wine was iced; that the dead stood stock-still in the road just where they were; that they had seen White Russia, and that they currycombed the horses there with their teeth; that those who were fond of skating had fine times of it, and people who had a fancy for savory ices had as much as they could put away; that the women were generally poor company; but that the only thing they could really complain of was the want of hot water for shaving.
She drew close and swept him into a strange unison with herself. "You dance beautifully," he said. "I love it," she replied. She was already of an agreeable height for him. It was soon over. "I wish you would take me where the ices are," she said to Cowperwood. He led her, half amused, half disturbed at her attitude toward him. "You are having a pleasant time teasing me, aren't you?" he asked.
"The lanai is the favorite reception room, and here at any social function the musical program is given and cakes and ices are served; here morning callers are received, or gay riding parties, the ladies in pretty divided skirts, worn for convenience in riding astride, the universal mode adopted by Europeans and Americans, as well as by the natives.
I am held responsible for the health of these girls; I am blamed over and over again, when it is not my fault, for irregularities in their diet and there they are, at this moment, chilled with ices and cloyed with cakes! What will Mrs. Gallilee say?" "Don't tell her," Mr. Gallilee suggested.
I want to talk to you." They wandered out on to a balcony where some of the younger people were taking ices. She leaned over the wooden rail. "Listen," she said, "I adore this atmosphere, and I am perfectly certain there is something going on something exciting, I mean. You know that the Baron von Schwerin has a dinner-party?" "I know that," he assented. "Uncle Theodore is going with Mr. Fischer.
One of ze lace handkerchiefs I have kept, chères demoiselles, as a souvenir: the others, with ze diamond earrings, were changed into money tout de suite. They sold for much money: we have been able to take a little trip, perhaps to Cuba, where we eat ices and drive along beautiful roads; perhaps to one gay Northern city, where we go to the play every night.
Towards the evening we took some ices and returned home, and the gentle pressure of my arm on the way prepared me for the bliss I was to enjoy. We found Don Diego on the balcony waiting for us. He congratulated his daughter on her pleasant appearance and the pleasure she must have taken in my society.
As the Mother Superior said, it did not seem to occur to people that there could be in connection with a religious body, such words as discipline and subordination, which were certainly made ridiculous for the time being, when she and Sister Ann Frances were asked to eat ices on the same terms as Miss Hilda Howe.
They stood behind counters, in booths, and sold fancy articles, or dispensed ices and lemonade, or waited upon customers at the refreshment tables; bringing in trays of eatables, gathering up and removing empty dishes; performing labor that, under the ordinary circumstances of life, they would not perform in their own homes, and for their own kindred.
