Suppose that this Miss Rosewarne " "No, hold hard a bit, Jue," he said imperatively. "You may talk till the millennium, but just keep off her, I warn you." "Will you hear me out, you silly boy? Suppose that Miss Rosewarne is everything that you believe her to be. I'm going to grant that, because I'm going to ask you a question.
You won't mind my lighting a cigar somebody's been smoking here already. And what's the least poisonous claret you've got?" "Well, I declare!" she said, but she got him the wine all the same, and watched him light his cigar: then she took the easy-chair opposite. "Tell us about your young man, Jue," he said. "Girls always like to talk about that." "Do they?" she said. "Not to boys."
"You're quite right people do talk, but they wouldn't talk so much if other people didn't carry tales. Why, it isn't like you, Jue! I thought you were another sort. And about this girl, of all girls in the world!" He got up and began walking about the room, and talking with considerable vehemence, but no more in anger. He would tell her what cause there was for this silly gossip.
I must cut the whole place. I shall go into the army: it's the only profession open to a fool like me; and they say it won't be long open, either. When I come back, Jue, I suppose you'll be Mrs. Tressider." "I am very sorry," his cousin said, not heeding the reference to herself: "I never expected to see you so deep in trouble, Harry.
She'll have plenty to reform if ever she takes you for a husband." "That's true enough, Jue," the young man said penitently. "I believe I'm a bad lot, but then look at the brilliant contrast which the future will present.
But to bring the matter back to yourself for I believe you're hot-headed enough to do anything what would you think of her if you or anybody else persuaded her to do such a treacherous thing?" "She is not capable of treachery," he said somewhat stiffly. "If you've got no more cheerful things to talk about, you'd better go to bed, Jue. I shall finish my cigar by myself." "Very well, then, Harry.
He would say to himself, 'I mean to make this girl happy; if any one interferes, let him look out! Why, Jue, you don't suppose any man would be frightened by that sort of thing?" Miss Juliott did not seem quite convinced by this burst of scornful oratory. She continued quietly, "You forget something, Harry.
"Are you going to stay with us for the next fortnight?" "No, I have got rooms at the Queen's." "I thought so. One might have expected you, however, to stay with your relations when you came to Penzance." "Oh, that's all gammon, Jue," he said: "you know very well your father doesn't care to have any one stay with you it's too much bother. You'll have quite enough of me while I am in Penzance."
