She cast a side glance at him to see if he would resent this. But he only nodded slowly. "Had enough convents abroad, eh?" "Yes and Kieth, convents are different there anyway. Here even in the nicest ones there are so many COMMON girls." He nodded again. "Yes," he agreed, "I suppose there are, and I know how you feel about it.
She wondered if that was from wearing a hat so much. It seemed awful for a man to grow bald and no one to care about it. "Were you pious when you were young, Kieth?" she asked. "You know what I mean. Were you religious? If you don't mind these personal questions."
"Are they signed up?" he laughed. "No, but they will be next month." "Permanently?" "Yes unless they break down mentally or physically. Of course in a discipline like ours a lot drop out." "But those BOYS. Are they giving up fine chances outside like you did?" He nodded. "Some of them." "But Kieth, they don't know what they're doing. They haven't had any experience of what they're missing."
Then she was shaking hands again and promising to come back a little later for some ice-cream, and smiling and smiling and being rather absurdly happy . . . she told herself that it was because Kieth was so delighted in showing her off. Then she and Kieth were strolling along a path, arm in arm, and he was informing her what an absolute jewel the Father Rector was.
"Oh, Kieth she's she's getting worse all the time, every way." He nodded slowly as if he understood. "Nervous, well you can tell me about that later. Now " She was in a small study with a large desk, saying something to a little, jovial, white-haired priest who retained her hand for some seconds. "So this is Lois!" He said it as if he had heard of her for years. He entreated her to sit down.
She paused and then continued quickly: "I don't want to shock you, Kieth, but I can't tell you how how INCONVENIENT being a Catholic is. It really doesn't seem to apply any more. As far as morals go, some of the wildest boys I know are Catholics. And the brightest boys I mean the ones who think and read a lot, don't seem to believe in much of anything any more." "Tell me about it.
"Lois!" he cried again, "why, this is wonderful! I can't tell you, Lois, how MUCH I've looked forward to this. Why, Lois, you're beautiful!" Lois gasped. His voice, though restrained, was vibrant with energy and that odd sort of enveloping personality she had thought that she only of the family possessed. "I'm mighty glad, too Kieth." She flushed, but not unhappily, at this first use of his name.
The French, English, and Austrian staffs occupied each end of the bridge. I was present at this most interesting event. The foreign generals treated Masséna with much respect and consideration, and although he demanded favourable conditions, Admiral Kieth said more than once that the defense had been so heroic that they did not wish to refuse them.
This was fifteen days before the end of the siege. For fifteen days, these poor devils remained on this regime!. Every two or three days Messéna renewed his offer to the enemy general; he never accepted, perhaps out of obstinacy, or perhaps because the English admiral, Lord Kieth, was unwilling to employ his long-boats for fear, it is said, that they would bring typhus back to the fleet.
Francis Xavier overhead and falling in warm red tracery on the cassock of the man in front of her, but at the first notes of the "O SALUTARIS HOSTIA" a heavy weight seemed to descend upon her soul. Kieth was on her right and young Jarvis on her left, and she stole uneasy glance at both of them. What's the matter with me? she thought impatiently. She looked again.
