She was of a domineering, jealous nature, and it would exasperate her to feel that Lashmar merely used her for his temporary purposes. Noble self-sacrifice, indeed! Lashmar himself did not believe that. Best of all things, at this moment, May would have liked to make known her power over Lashmar, and to say, "Of course, dear Miss Bride, he is nothing whatever to me.
You knew that of men; let me assure you that women share the unhappy privilege." Lashmar was listening with knitted brows. No word came to his lips. "You interest me," pursued Constance. "I think you are rather a typical man of our time, and it isn't at all impossible that you may become, as you say, distinguished.
When the schoolboy interrupted them, their conversation was by no means finished. After a cheerful lunch, they resumed it on the sea-shore, Leonard being sent off to amuse himself as he would. By tea-time, it had been agreed that Lashmar should at once give up his expensive London rooms, and come down to Eastbourne, to recruit his health and enjoy Iris's society, until Leonard went back to school.
It was Eric's first visit to Lashmar since the production of the "Divorce" had made his name known throughout England; and he could not conceal from himself that he was trying to render his return agreeably dramatic.
"How annoying that I shan't be able to see you again!" cried Lashmar. "But shan't you be coming to Rivenoak?" "Not for some time, very likely. And when I do " The train stopped. Dyce helped his companion to alight, and moved along to seek for a place for her in the section which went to Hollingford. Suddenly an alarmed voice from one of the carriage-doors shouted "Guard! Station-master!"
If anywhere near, do come and see me, and we will talk about that striking philosophical theory of yours." Lashmar bit his lip. All at once he saw Mrs. Toplady's smile, and it troubled him. None the less did he ponder her letter, re-reading it several times. Presently he mused with uneasiness on the fact that Iris might even now be writing to Mrs. Toplady.
"I chose the early train for the sake of coolness," answered Dyce, who shook hands with his parents. "The weather is simply tropical. And two days ago we were shivering. What is there to drink, mother?" Mrs. Lashmar took her son to the dining-room, and, whilst he was refreshing himself, talked of the career before him.
She hesitated, and her eyes passed over the listener's face. Lashmar was very attentive. "There's no need to go into details," she added quickly. "Lady Ogram told me everything, saying she felt that the time had come for doing so. And I accepted the trust." "Without knowing, however," said Dyce, "the not unimportant condition which her mind attached to it."
I'm sure your advice would be valuable. Could you find time to jot down a few ideas?" "If you think it any use, certainly. I can't promise to do it this evening; we have people to dine." Lashmar was secretly offended that Lady Ogram should give a dinner-party in which he had no place. "Anyone coming that I know?" he asked, off-hand. "Let me see. Yes, there's Mrs. Toplady and Lord Dymchurch "
Constance at length ventured to ask. Lady Ogram delayed her answer for a moment, then, speaking thickly in her tired voice, and with slow emphasis: "I'm glad to know him. Beyond a doubt, he is the coming man." On his return, Lashmar found a letter from Mrs. Woolstan awaiting him at Upper Woburn Place.
