And if Jack hadn't married you " "I understand, Mr. Kerns. I'm awfully sorry." "Don't feel sorry; only, if you can, call Jack off. He's been perfectly possessed to marry me to somebody ever since he married you. And if I told him why I don't care to consider the matter he wouldn't believe me he'd spend his life in trying to bring me around. Besides, I couldn't ever tell him about Marjorie Manners.
If I do if I carry it out as it has been arranged or rather as the case seems to have already arranged itself, for it is rather a simple matter, I fancy I do not exactly see how Mr. Kerns can avoid experiencing a ahem a tender sentiment for the very charming young lady whom I and chance have designed for him as a partner through life." "Excellent! Splendid!" shouted Gatewood through the telephone.
Raoul obeying, soon found himself in the presence of a wild crew of Welsh kerns, who were holding high revelry in the banqueting hall, whilst his own English servants those, at least, who had not effected their escape lay dead upon the ground, the presence of bleeding corpses at their very feet doing nothing to check the savage mirth and revelry of the victors, who had been joined by the whole of the Welsh garrison, only too glad of an excuse for rising against the usurper.
But he put his horse to a gallop, and they pounded along in silence. In a little while she drew bridle and looked around coldly, grave with displeasure. "Mr. Kerns came to us before you did.
"You spent the best years of your life in persuading me to get married, and the first time I try to do the same for you, you make for the tall timber!" "I know it," admitted Kerns, unashamed; "I'm bashful. I'm a chipmunk for shyness, so I'll say good night " "Come back," said Gatewood coldly. "But my suit case " "You left it at the Lee's, didn't you?
"Now I know a girl " began Gatewood; but his wife was still speaking to Kerns, so he circled around them, politely suppressing the excitement of a sudden idea struggling for utterance. Mrs. Gatewood was saying: "I do wish John would go to his clubs occasionally. Because a man is married is no reason for his losing touch with his clubs "
Kerns; we already have taken exclusive charge of his future movements after he leaves the Lenox Club. I do not believe he can escape us, or his charming destiny. Good night!" Gatewood, enchanted, hung up the receiver. Song broke softly from his lips as he started in search of Kerns; his step was springy, buoyant sort of subdued and modest prance.
"I know a girl," broke in Gatewood excitedly, laying his arm on Kerns's to detain him; but Kerns slid sideways through the door with a smile so noncommittal that Mrs. Gatewood laughed again and, linking her arm in her husband's, faced partly toward him.
There'll be Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Kerns, Captain and Mrs. Harren, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burke, Mrs. Gatewood, and myself. We want you to set the date for it, Mr. Keen, and we also wish you to suggest one more deliriously happy couple whom you have dragged out of misery and flung head-first into terrestrial paradise." "Do you young people really care to do this for me?" asked the Tracer, laughing.
Flushed, earnest, a trifle out of breath with his own eloquence, Gatewood waved his hand to indicate a Ciceronian period, adding, as Kerns's incredulous smile broadened: "Say splash again, and I'll put you at his mercy!" "Ker-splash! dear friend," observed Kerns pleasantly.
