It was Monday, the twenty-fourth day of November, in the last week of Fanny's fortnight in London. Barbara had been busy all morning with Mr. Waddington's correspondence and accounts. And now, for the first time, she found herself definitely on the track of Mrs. Levitt.
Levitt had stayed twenty-four hours and had gone again, saying that there was nothing for him to do that Sothern could not do as well. He rather thought that Drennen's beautiful physique would pull him through. But it would take time, careful attention, rest and properly administered nourishment. "Can't you get a woman to help?" he asked as he was going. "I don't give a damn what kind she is.
"I'll buy a copy," said the Boy, as Pigeon blushed wrathfully. "I must, to see how the Dove lost his mounted company." He unfolded the flapping sheet and we crowded round it. "'Complete Rout of the Guard," he read. "'Too Narrow a Front. That's one for you, Vee! 'Attack Anticipated by Mr. Levitt, B. A. Aha! 'The Schools Stand Fast." "Here's another version," said Kyd, waving a tinted sheet.
Levitt, that she was well connected, and that there was no harm in her. So long as any parishioner was a frequent attendant at church, and a regular subscriber to the coal and blanket club, and a reliable source of soup and puddings for the poor, it was hard to persuade him that there was any harm in them.
You can't possibly tell. He may do anything." "That's what we feel about him," Barbara said. "Endless possibilities. Yet you'd think he couldn't go one better than Mrs. Levitt." For the next half-mile they disputed whether in the scene with Mrs. Levitt he was or was not really funny. Ralph was inclined to think that he might have been purely disgusting. "You didn't see him, Ralph.
She had been out, that is to say, she had judged it more becoming to her dignity not to be at home when Fanny called; and Fanny had been actually out when Mrs. Levitt called, so that they met for the first time at the garden party. "It's absurd our not knowing each other," Fanny said, "when my husband knows you so well." "I've always felt, Mrs.
Hitchin's appearance, too, and he thought he would insert some expression of that feeling in his peroration. He was also profoundly aware of Mrs. Levitt sitting all by herself in an empty space about the middle of the third row. From time to time Ralph Bevan and young Horace fixed on Fanny Waddington and Barbara delighted eyes in faces of a supernatural gravity.
He was saved from its immediate pressure by the sight of the envelope that waited for him on the breakfast-table, addressed in a familiar hand. "Mrs. Levitt " His emotion betrayed itself to Barbara in a peculiar furtive yet triumphant smile. "Again?" said Fanny. Mrs. Levitt requested Mr. Waddington to call on her that morning at eleven. There was a matter on which she desired to consult him.
Levitt wore a coat and skirt, her sister's white serge with a distinction, a greyish stripe or something; clean straightness that stiffened and fined down her exuberance. One jewel, one bit of gold, and she might have been vulgar. But no. He thought: she knows what becomes her.
But Dr Levitt, who loves to make peace, you know, and tell what is pleasant, declares that Sir William Hunter has certainly said that, after all, it does not so much signify which way a man votes at an election, if he shows a kind heart to his neighbours in troublesome times." "Sir William Hunter has learned his lesson then, it seems, from this affliction.
