Jernington has made me see. We've been two slave-drivers. It can't go on. If he could stay and be different but he can't. He's a marvel of learning, but he has only one subject orchestration. You've got to forget that for a little. So Jernington must go. Dear old boy! When I see your pale cheeks and your burning eyes I I " Tears came into her eyes. From beneath the trickster the woman arose.
Jernington was the professor with whom Claude studied orchestration in London. "Get him over here." "Jernington! Why, he never leaves London!" "Get him to for a month. We'll pay all his expenses and everything, of course." "How you go ahead!" he said, laughing. "You must be a twin of Alston's, I think." "What has got to be done can be done."
But and leave the rest to me. I know how to manage Claude. And if I get a little help from you!" Old Jernington took his passage on the Maréchal Bugeaud and left the rest to Charmian, with this result. Late the next night, when they were all going to bed, she whispered to him, "I've put a note in your room. Don't say a word to him!" She touched her lips.
Jernington, after sending to Claude several anxious and indeed almost deplorable letters, pleading to be let off his bargain by telegram, arrived in Algiers in the middle of the following July, with a great deal of fuss and very little luggage. The Heaths welcomed him warmly.
Claude must present himself, or be presented by Lake as a master, not as a pupil. She must get rid of old Jernington as soon as possible. But it now became alarmingly manifest that old Jernington was in no hurry to go. He was one of those persons who arrive with great difficulty, but who find an even greater difficulty in bringing themselves to the point of departure.
Jernington wiped his perspiring face, his forehead, and, finally, his whole head and neck, manipulating the huge handkerchief in a masterly manner almost worthy of an expensive conjurer. "It is superb. When it is given, when the world knows that the great Heath studied with me well, I shall have to take a studio as large as the Albert Hall, there will be such a rush of pupils.
Much intrigued by all this feminine diplomacy Jernington went to his room, and found the following note under a candlestick. "DEAR MR. JERNINGTON, Claude won't go. It's no use for me to say anything. He is in a highly nervous state brought on by this overwork. I see the only thing is to let him have his own way in everything. Don't even mention that we had thought of this holiday in England.
Next day he received a telegram from Jernington: "Very difficult is it absolutely impossible for you to come to England?" "I'll answer that," said Charmian. She telegraphed, "Absolutely impossible HEATH." In the late evening a second telegram came from Jernington: "Very well suppose I must come JERNINGTON." Charmian laughed as she read it over Claude's shoulder. "The pathos of it," she said.
"Well, but the expense; you know, Charmian, we live right up to our income." "Hang the expense! Oh, as Alston would say!" He laughed. "You really are a marvellous wife!" "Am I? Am I?" "I might sound old Jernington. He'll think I'm raving mad, but still " "I only hope," she said, smiling and eager, "that he won't be so raving sane as to refuse."
He must give himself to the enthusiasm of his wife and of Alston Lake. He sent a long telegram to Jernington, saying how difficult it was for him to leave Mustapha, and begging Jernington to come over during the summer so that they might work together in quiet. All expenses were to be paid.
