Oh! while Irene pleaded before me and, heedless of the presence of Jodd, even cast her arms about me and laid her head upon my breast, all these things passed through my mind.
Other people, Majors and tipsy Captains, might be cowards, but not she. "Dear Susan, don't scold me for being so late," she said, "though I know I deserve it. So sweet of you! Isabel darling and dear Evie! Oh, and Mr. Wyse! Sweet Irene! Major Benjy and Captain Puffin! Had a nice game of golf? And the Padre!..."
I suppose there are some men who would make good husbands if you could find them. But I've seen a few, the rough and the smooth, and I've only known one man from whom a proposal would set me thinking. And he'll never propose to me not now. Not since Miss Hardy came west." "Oh," said Irene, slowly. "I'm I'm so sorry." . . . "It's all right," said Bert, looking out of the window.
A couple of banjos were produced, and both the facility and the repertoire of the young ladies who handled them astonished Irene.
Upon a strict search of her memory, Irene could not report that the fact had been stated with anything like insinuation, but it was that which gave it a more penetrating effect. "Oh, well, of course," said Lapham, to whom these facts were referred. "Those sort of people haven't got much business up our way, and they don't come. It's a fair thing all round.
Now, Irene knew perfectly well where the brake was, and how to use it. In fact, there were two brakes, operated by different members, and perhaps it was this duplication, intended to insure safety, that was responsible for her undoing. Her first impulse was to use the emergency, but to do so she must remove her hand from the steering wheel, where it was very fully occupied.
'I can, though, and you must be glad of that, for it will do for both of us. 'We're not out yet, said Curdie. 'We soon shall be, returned Irene confidently. And now the thread went downwards, and led Irene's hand to a hole in the floor of the cavern, whence came a sound of running water which they had been hearing for some time. 'It goes into the ground now, Curdie, she said, stopping.
"I think," said Officer O'Gorman, "it will be best for us to read to Mr. Hathaway that letter." "The letter which I found in the book?" asked Irene eagerly. "Yes. But do not disturb yourself," as she started to wheel her chair close to the wall. "Josie will get it."
It was; and when she came into the room a moment later, Gwen said: "We've been talking about your ring, and a horrible little bottle of Red Indian poison this silly obstinate man has got hidden away and won't give me." "I know," said Irene. "He's incorrigible. But don't you believe him, Gwen, when he justifies suicide. It's only his nonsense."
But Irene had not moved; in her gloved hands she ceaselessly turned and twisted the little bunch of violets. The tears of rage and disappointment rolled down June's cheeks. "How could you come?" she said. "You have been a false friend to me!" Again Irene laughed. June saw that she had played a wrong card, and broke down. "Why have you come?" she sobbed.
