Townsend came hurrying into the room; he was pale, and looked at once angry and alarmed. "Did you fall?" he asked inconsequently, as if his wife, who was small, could have produced such a manifestation by a fall. "Oh, David, what is it?" whispered Mrs. Townsend. "Darned if I know!" said David. "Don't swear. It's too awful. Oh, see the looking-glass, David!" "I see it.
"Have you hurt yourself much?" inquired Dick, kindly. "No; I don't think so," said the Dodo, carefully feeling himself all over to see if any bones were broken. "How do you like my nightcap?" he inquired, suddenly and inconsequently. "Does it suit me?" "Oh, it's all right, I suppose," said Dick, laughing in spite of himself at the bird's vanity. "Where did you get it?"
"Well, father, you said that He would look after me, didn't you? And so He did, for He sent Richard here If it hadn't been for Richard I should have been drowned," she added inconsequently. "Yes, yes," said Mr. Dove. "Providence manifests itself in many ways. But who is your young friend whom you call Richard? I suppose he has some other name."
"As I was saying," she resumed, "all this publicity is highly distasteful to the artist, and yet since you have forced yourself in here I may as well say a few little things about how good I am and how I got that way. Yes, I have nine motor cars, and I just bought a lace tablecloth for twelve hundred bones " She broke off inconsequently, poor victim of her constitutional frivolity.
I dare say even your lordship, however inconsequently you may often conduct yourself, would scarcely think of mid-day as the most proper season of concealment, or the passing through a crowded levee, the most natural method of entering the royal closet unobserved. But unfortunately in the western climates in which we reside, the thing is otherwise. The institution of mutes is unknown to us.
He sat up yawning, muttered something about greenhouses; then remembering, said: "Are those Arabs coming? We are in for a fight at last. Jolly, old fellow, isn't it?" "You are a jolly old fool!" I answered inconsequently; and marched off in a rage. My mind was uneasy about this inexperienced young man. If anything should happen to him, what should I say to his father?
"Let me take you to Winks and Pinks," she said as soon as we were out of the building: "they've got such lovely shades of blotting- paper pearl and heliotrope and momie and crushed " "But I want ordinary white blotting-paper," I said. "Never mind. They know me at Winks and Pinks," she replied inconsequently.
His queer little face was pale and pinched; but his jaw was set with the expression of one who has known danger and can meet it somehow. "Are they going to scalp us?" he half whispered presently, with a shuddering lift of his distorted shoulders. Her face was buried in her hands and she did not answer. Childlike he turned from one question to another inconsequently.
To this end, he whistled with so much breath as his chase had left him, tossed pebbles inconsequently, and sauntered toward the pair as if he had all the day before him. The subterfuge seemed to be succeeding, and he was once more within fifty feet of them when they whirled about simultaneously and started at the same lively trot, leaving Wallie far behind them.
"Premé!" cried the gondolier, and we shaved past the gondola of a solitary gentleman just leaving the steps of the Hotel Britannia. "That was a shave!" poppa exclaimed, and added somewhat inconsequently, "You might just as well not speak so loud." "I've always liked Arty," he continued, as we glided on. "So have I," I returned cordially. "He's in many ways a lovely fellow," said poppa.
