Agnes looked at Father White, she was no longer crying, she had regained her self possession in the necessity of the moment, and she began with hardly a tremble In her voice. 'Mother is not is not I'm afraid she is not But how am I to accuse my own mother. 'I'm sure now, my dear child, that I was right when I suggested that I should speak to Major Lahens.
Let mother go if she wants to go. The Major took his hand from his wife's arm, and Mrs. Lahens said: 'You're a good girl, Agnes. I wish you had always remained with me. If your father had not taken you from me, I might She left the room hurriedly, and, a few moments after, they heard her drive away in a cab. 'Father, I know everything. 'You overheard? 'Yes, father.
Besides, he loved Olive as well as a man could love a woman whose lover he has been for seven years. ... Mrs. Lahens looked at him, and wondered what there was in him that attached her so firmly. They had once loved each other passionately. All that was over now... But still she loved him. ... He was all she had in the world. To live with her husband without Reggie! no, she could not think of it.
'Confessions of missed opportunities, said Moulton. 'So, then, your creed is that love cannot endure, said Lord Chadwick. 'The love that endures is the heaviest burden of all, Harding replied incautiously. A silence fell over the lunch table, and all feared to raise their eyes lest they should look at Mrs. Lahens and Lord Chadwick. 'I suppose you are right, said Mrs. Lahens.
With the best intentions in the world we cannot change ourselves. 'But you don't intend to give me up, Olive? 'Do you want me to, Reggie? 'No, dearest, we've held together a long time seven years we cannot give each other up. 'We can't give each other up, said Mrs. Lahens. 'It never shall be broken off, unless you break it off. Lord Chadwick asked himself if he desired to break with her?
Lahens to say that Lilian sang out of tune, and to revive an old scandal concerning her. 'Surely, mother, said Agnes, 'all you say did not happen to the young girl who has just left the room? Through the house in Grosvenor Street men were always coming and going. Quite a number of men seemed to have acquired the right of taking their meals there.
She had waited a few moments on the threshold before she entered the room necessity ordained... and she stood pale and courageous between her parents. Mrs. Lahens sat down on the ottoman, and, when the servant arrived with the lamp, Agnes saw that her mother, notwithstanding her paint, was like death.
Lahens once more asked Father White to stay. He begged her to excuse him, and she went into the diningroom leaving him in the passage with Agnes. 'Good-bye, my dear child, I shall see you next week. I will write telling you when I'm coming, and you'll tell me what you think of the world. The convent is only for those who have a vocation. You can serve God in the world as well as elsewhere.
'Where are you going? 'I'm going to dine with Chad, if you wish to know. 'You shall not go to Lord Chadwick, said the Major, walking close to his wife. Mrs. Lahens turned from the glass. 'You shall not go, repeated the Major. 'Go at your peril. ... They stood looking at each other a moment with hatred in their eyes.
'I wanted you to know that my daughter has been very strictly brought up. 'My dear Major, said Mrs. Lahens, 'you had better write on a piece of paper "My daughter, Miss Lahens, comes home from school to-day, and my guests at lunch are particularly requested to be guarded in their conversation." You can put it up where every one can see it, then there can be no mistake.
