On the contrary his four little giants of sons throve astonishingly and a few months after the Gareth-Lawless wedding Lady Lawdor a trifle effusively, as it were presented her husband with twin male infants so robust that they were humorously known for years afterwards as the "Twin Herculeses."
As to Lord Lawdor Edward had learned from those who DID know that he had never approved of his nephew and that he'd said he was a fool for marrying and had absolutely refused to have anything to do with him. He had six boys and a girl now and big estates weren't what they had been, everyone knew.
Darrel breathed sighs of relief and there were not only more chances but causes for bright hopefulness in the once crowded house which now had rooms to spare. A certain inattention on the part of the Deity was no doubt responsible for the fact that "something" did not "happen" to the family of Lord Lawdor.
"Why should he care," said Amabel simply. "One can't help thinking things. If it happened he would be the Earl of Lawdor and " She fell again into sweet reflection while Alice giggled a little more. Then she herself stopped and thought also. After all perhaps ! One had to be practical.
Robert's supporting idea had been that he might perhaps "get something out of Lawdor who wouldn't enjoy being the relation of a fellow who was turned into the street!" "He ought to have done something," Feather plained. "Robert would have been Lord Lawdor himself if his uncle had died before he had all those disgusting children."
She ended with a gently fervent appeal that if her prayer were granted something "might happen" which would result in her becoming a Countess of Lawdor. One could not have put the request with greater tentative delicacy. She felt quite uplifted and a trifle saintly when she rose from her knees.
She caught at his arm and her eyes of larkspur blue were actually wild. "Don't you see where I am! How there is nothing and nobody Don't you SEE?" "Yes, I see," he answered. "You are quite right. There is nothing AND nobody. I have been to Lawdor myself." "You have been to TALK to him?" "Yesterday. That was my reason for coming here. He will not see you or be written to.
His uncle Lord Lawdor is only forty-five and he has four splendid healthy boys perfect little giants." "Oh, I didn't know there was a title. How splendid," exclaimed Amabel rapturously.
So far as her mind encompassed a future, she saw herself flitting from flower to flower of "smart" pleasures and successes, somehow, with more money and more exalted invitations "something" vaguely having happened to the entire Lawdor progeny, and she, therefore, occupying a position in which it was herself who could gracefully condescend to others.
