I should like to know if he, too, has the idea that Jonkheer Brederode cares about me, and, if so, whether he wonders how it's possible for any man to admire me more than Nell, who is so beautiful and brilliant and amusing? I can't help being flattered that such an interesting person as the Jonkheer should like my society better than Nell's, though I can hardly believe it's true.
It was not an enlivening conversation, and in the midst Mr. van Buren came to say that there were no tidings of Jonkheer Brederode and the boat. Then Nell jumped up, very white, with shining eyes. "Can't we do something?" she asked. Her cousin shook his head. "What is there we can do? Nothing! We must wait and hope that all is well." "Are you anxious now?" asked Lady MacNairne.
We were gay; but Nell didn't turn round once to join in our talk. She sat there beside the chauffeur, as glum as if she had lost her last friend. Perhaps she was alarmed for her boat, as she doesn't care about the Jonkheer.
Sir Alexander MacNairne, with his quick temper, and his ignorance of the Dutch character as well as the Dutch language, and the privileges of Kermess week, was making matters worse for us, instead of better, when Jonkheer Brederode dashed in and saved the situation.
The reason she gave was that she couldn't take care of Tibe in the car without his help. I was sure she was anxious. All Lady MacNairne's thought was for her nephew, and so I felt it would be only kind to show the Jonkheer that some one cared about him. I begged him to let Hendrik manage the boat alone, for I said we should all be so worried, that it would spoil our drive.
"Don't you suppose, Jonkheer, that one could be got cheap? not that that need be a consideration to dear Ronny!" "I'll find out later," I assured her, answering a despairing look of Starr's from between the green tusks of his elephant.
As it is, there is always something new to keep my thoughts away from myself and other people, of whom it may be still more unwise to think. Nell avoided Jonkheer Brederode as much as she could the morning after the storm. She said that, as he took no interest in her, it could not matter what she did so far as he was concerned.
"Oh, but, Nell," protested Miss Rivers. "Surely you know we saw Mr. no, Jonkheer Brederode with your cousin at the Museum in Delft, and then afterwards you " "People's clothes make so much difference," remarked Miss Van Buren. "Oh, but I wasn't thinking of your sea adventure, so much as when Jonkheer Brederode rode in the contest " "I'm afraid I was looking at the horses," cut in her stepsister.
When Jonkheer Brederode first dashed to our rescue, Sir Alexander MacNairne had been extremely busy with two of the little soldiers, but overawed by their countryman's distinguished manner and severe words, they lost their desire to fight and sheepishly joined their companions.
Its type, judging from the head of a girl at The Hague, is not unlike The Geographer, in the collection of Viscount Du Bus de Gisegnies, Brussels. A Young Girl, collection of Jonkheer de Grez, Brussels. This last was discovered by Doctor Bredius in 1906, and is at the present writing in New York at the gallery of Mr. Knoedler.
