So next day, Lemoyne, deploying his natural graces and his dramatic dexterities, drew away the curtain. He did not go so far as to say that Bertram had been tricked; he did not even go so far as to say that he had been inexpert: he contented himself with saying that his friend had been over-chivalrous and that his fine nature had rather been played upon.
He was afraid that he could scarcely come this evening.... Amy's voice took on a new tone. Why, she seemed to be feeling, must Arthur Lemoyne be mentioned, and mentioned so early? Yet Bertram had put him instinctively, unconsciously at the head of the little verbal procession just begun.
The annual spring dislocation of ordered student life was indeed a regular feature of the year's last term; yet to push indulgence as far as Arthur Lemoyne was pushing it ! Cope was concerned; then worried. "Arthur," he said, "be reasonable about this. You've got real work to do, remember." But Lemoyne's real work was in the musical comedy.
By the fourth bar there had been tears in her eyes, and there was a catch in her breath when she exclaimed softly, "You dear boys!" It was too soon, of course, to make Lemoyne "dear" the one boy was Cope. It was really his voice which she had heard through the soaring, insinuating tones of the other.
We've been doing some bombing, ourselves; we made a down-payment for Eric Blount and Hendrik Lemoyne. Took a fifty-ton tank off a fuel-lorry, fitted it with a detonator, filled it with thermoconcentrate, and ferried it over on the Elmoran and dumped it on the Keegarkan Embassy.
Basil Randolph was wondering how he was to take Arthur Lemoyne, and was asking himself if his trouble in setting up a new menage was likely to go for nothing; and Bertram Cope, while he pursued the course of the bookworm through the parchment covers and the yellowed sheets within, was wondering in what definite way his host might aid the fortunes of Arthur Lemoyne and thus make matters a little easier for them both.
He began to reconstruct that season: the long range of social entertainments, the proposed fall excursions, the sudden shifting of domicile. Lemoyne became impatient over the fact that he was now sitting at Randolph's table. However, if Randolph could help him to a place and a salary, that would make some amends.
Well, if there was relief for her in words, he could stand to hear her speak for a moment or two more, not longer. "One word yet," she said in a panting voice. "Your Arthur Lemoyne. That preposterous friendship cannot go on for long. You will tire of him; or more likely he will tire of you. Something different, something better will be needed, and you will live to learn so.
Cope will drop in two or three times, I think he will end by feeling that I have done him justice." "This is a most kind attention," said Cope, slightly at sea. "I ought to be able to find time some afternoon...." "Not too late in the afternoon," Hortense cautioned. "The light in February goes early." When Lemoyne heard of this new project he gave Cope a look. He had no concern as to Mrs.
"Well, they've taken me," he began; "and I shall have a fairly good part." Cope made no effort to respond to the other's glowing self-satisfaction, but sat with thoughtful, downcast eyes at his desk before the untouched themes. "What's the matter?" asked Lemoyne. "Has she been calling up again?" Cope raised his head and gave him a look. Lemoyne saw that his very first guess had been correct.
