Because on Friday I'm going to have tea with Mrs. Liggett her husband came in to-day and asked me. Oh, the darling! He certainly is the well, the most well, I don't know! His voice, and the quiet, quiet way " "Oh, for pity's sake go change your shoes!" Rose interrupted. "You are the biggest idiot! I went into the store to get her," Rose explained, "and I've had all this once, in the subway.
But, as it is, this child isn't, strictly speaking, illegitimate. There was a marriage, and some sort of divorce, whether Müller deceived Annie as to his being a bachelor or not!" A maid stood in the doorway. "Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. Liggett." "Oh," Alice said, in an animated tone of pleasure, "ask her to come upstairs!" But the eyes she turned to her husband were full of apprehension.
Suddenly, and almost without volition, the girl snatched the telephone, and murmured a number. Thought and senses seemed suspended while she waited. "Is this the Metropolitan Club? Is Mr. Christopher Liggett there?... If you will, please. Thank you. Say that it is a lady," said Norma, in a hurried and feverish voice. The operator would announce presently, of course, that Mr. Liggett was not there.
But I'll tell you who you would like," Norma added, in a sudden burst. "You'd love Mr. Liggett!" "Why should I?" Wolf asked, in some surprise. "Oh, because he's nice he's very good-looking, and he has such a pleasant voice, as if he knew everything, but wasn't a bit conceited!" Norma said.
Do you, Archie? It must be an interviewer. Ask him to come in, Julia." And in he came. My knowledge of chappies in general, after a fairly wide experience, is that some chappies seem to kind of convey an atmosphere of unpleasantness the moment you come into contact with them. Renshaw Liggett gave me this feeling directly he came in; and when he fixed me with a sinister glance and said, "Mr.
He hated society, primarily, and he would never be idle, not for the treasures of India. But cheerfully indifferent as he was to everything that made life worth living to such a man as Christopher Liggett, she knew that he would not go to California without her unless there was a definite break between them.
Just now she was in the kitchen, and the two girls were alone together, Norma a little awed and a little ashamed of the emotion that Rose's pale and rapt and radiant face gave her; Rose secretly pitying, from her height, the woman who was not yet a mother. "And young Mrs. Liggett was terribly disappointed that her baby was a girl," Rose marvelled. "I didn't care one bit!
"You are only a little girl; you think it's great fun to be married to one man, and flirting with another! What makes me sick is that a man like Liggett thinks he can get away with it, and you women " "If you say that again, I'll not walk with you!" Norma burst in furiously. "Does it ever occur to you," Wolf asked, equally roused, "that you are my wife?" "Yes!" Norma answered, breathlessly.
It was almost half-past ten when a bell-boy approached. Was it Miss Sheridan? Mr. Christopher Liggett had been called out of town, and would try to see Mrs. Melrose in a day or two. Norma turned upon him a white face of fatigue. "Is Mr. Liggett on the telephone?" "No, Miss. He just telephoned a message." The boy retired, and Norma went slowly upstairs, and slowly made her preparations for sleep.
Acton was pleasantly at home in the Melrose, Liggett, and Von Behrens houses, the very maids loved him, and his quiet singling out of Leslie for his devotion had satisfied everyone's sense of what was fitting and delightful.
