Liggett had company, although it proved only to be the pretty Miss Sheridan who had called upon Leslie's grandmother on the first day of that mysterious indisposition that had kept the old lady bedridden almost ever since. Alice looked oddly tired, but her eyes were shining brightly, and Norma was charmingly happy and at ease.
Acton Liggett was Christopher's only brother, only relative indeed, and promised already to be as great a favourite as the irresistible Chris himself. Both were rich, both fine-looking, straightforward, honourable men, proud of their own integrity, their long-established family, and their old firm.
Brackett's domestic troubles, but my husband can prove without difficulty that he did buy the picture. Can't you, dear?" Archie, extremely white about the gills, looked at the ceiling and at the floor and at me and Renshaw Liggett. "No," he said finally. "I can't. Because he didn't." "Exactly," said Renshaw, "and I must ask you to publish that statement in tomorrow's papers without fail."
"You did tell me of liking Liggett but I thought I hoped, I guess !" He paused, and then went on with sudden fierceness: "He's married, Norma, and you're married I wish there was some way of letting you out of it, as far as I am concerned! Of course you don't have to go to California with me if that helps. You can get your freedom, easily enough, after awhile.
"Does she give another matinée, Leslie?" "Two " Leslie looked at Acton. "Is it two weeks from to-day?" she questioned. "I'll send you seats for it," Alice said, making a little note on her ivory memoranda pages, as she nodded to Norma. The colour rushed into Norma's face, and she bit her lip. "But, Mrs. Liggett honestly I truly didn't mean I only meant " she began to stammer, half laughing.
"Joseph," she said over her shoulder, "send luncheon upstairs, please. And when Miss Leslie comes in, tell her I should like to see her, if it isn't too late. Anybody coming to-night?" "Mr. von Behrens telephoned that he and Mr. Liggett might come in for a moment, on his way to the banquet at the Waldorf, Madam. But that was all."
Rose's clear forehead clouded faintly, and Norma hastened to apologize. "Well, my dear, that's what she said," she remarked, laughingly, with quick fingers on Rose's hand. "It's sad that Mrs. Chris Liggett didn't have just one, before her accident. It would make such a difference in her life," Rose mused, with her eyes fixed thoughtfully on Norma's face.
But first I want to say that I appreciate your turning to me. If it's money I've got it. If it's something else, Chris Liggett is one of the cleverest men in New York, and we'll consult him." "It's not money, thank God!" Mrs. Sheridan said, in her forthright voice. "Lord knows where it all comes from, these days, but the children always have plenty," she added, glad of a diversion.
"Son, your uncle Jean was scout for Liggett, one of the greatest rebels the South had," said the rancher. "An' you're goin' to be scout for the Isbels of Tonto. Reckon you'll find it 'most as hot as your uncle did.... Spread your bed inside. You can see out, but no one can see you. Reckon there's been some queer happenin's 'round heah lately. If Shepp could talk he'd shore have lots to tell us.
"Is it my fault that I inherit all that money?" she asked the dark night angrily. "Is it my fault that I love Chris Liggett? Isn't it better to be honest about it than live with a man I don't love? Isn't that the worst thing that woman can endure a loveless marriage?
