Miss Mary reported all this to Hoover much more gracefully than I have put it, for, being a woman, her sympathies would naturally exhibit themselves with peculiar tenderness when conveying to a lover certain information touching his inamorata. There were two subjects upon which Miss Woppit seemed to love to hear Mary talk. One was Mary herself and the other was Jim Woppit.
Thus two years passed, until one autumn afternoon, stretched on the lawn in his garden, his head resting on the knees of his beautiful inamorata, he heard his verses sung for the last time by the clear voice of Myrrhina, accompanied by the fluttering of her white fingers over the chords of the lyre.
William, launched upon the placid sea of his elderly affection, did not heed that his supposed inamorata was making no replies. "She's a regular tyrant!" he repeated. "But now that she's away," he added in a tender tone, "and left just us two here, Matilda dear, we'll have a lot of nice little times together."
She was silent for a moment, and then spoke in her ordinary tone. "By the way, talking of letters, there was one came for you this morning in your cousin Philip's handwriting, and with a London postmark. Will you read it?" "Read it yes; anything from the father of my inamorata will be welcome." She fetched the letter and gave it him. He read it aloud.
"The replies of this pin-feather party soothes Enright an' engages him on that side, so he ups an' tells the 'swain, as Colonel Sterett calls him later in the Coyote, to grab off his inamorata an' come a-runnin'. "'Which, givin' my consent, says Enright when explainin' about it later, 'is needed to protect this tempest-tossed lover in the possession of his skelp.
Life, as portrayed in the old-fashioned novel, where the hero and heroine and their love affairs were the sole focus of attraction, and the other characters were grouped round in subordinate positions, while every one declined in interest as he advanced in years, was not life as Balzac saw it; and he pictures his hero's agony at not having a penny with which to pay his cab fare, with as much graphic intensity, as he tells of the same young gentleman's despair when his inamorata is indifferent to him.
When a woman began to bore him, or he found himself liking her beyond the limit of his philosophy, he invariably found relief in change of scene. Sometimes it was a sick aunt or a persistent lawyer or an engagement nearly forgotten and which must be kept at all hazards. He never, however, left his inamorata in either tears or anger.
"It is quite the other way round with me," Archie protested. "It was she who put me up to it!" "What! Your inamorata wanted you to be a crook?" cried the Governor. "She must be a wonderful girl! Shoplifter, perhaps? There are some jolly girls in that business! Or, maybe she's one of these confidence women who play a sure game and usually get by with it?" "Nothing like that!" cried Archie hastily.
Before he opened his lips she knew perfectly what was the name of his inamorata and indeed all the circumstances connected with the pair of them. The wise woman listened in patience, and when he had done, shook her head, saying that the case was too hard for her.
She is a peculiar woman, your inamorata, and swears that she won't trust her lawyers, so I have to do all the dirty work myself, worse luck. You had better come too." "Shan't I be in the way?" asked Bottles doubtfully, struggling feebly against the bribe. "It is evident, my dear fellow, that you cannot be de trop. I shall present my papers for signature and vanish.
