Jimmy has a small house of his own, not far from C and only half-a-mile from the sea coast and quite close to 'The Garden of Sleep, and here it is that he brings Lippa to pass the first days of their married life, days of almost perfect happiness.
When that catastrophe befel them, the sovereign seems to have restored his prize to a noble of the same lineage with him who willed it away, so that down to the year 1515, we find it in the possession of a long line of Placek von Lippa und Berksteins.
'He seems in a great hurry, says Mabel turning to Lippa who is looking in exactly the opposite direction to the one Dalrymple has taken. Her 'Yes, and something in her expression opens Mabel's eyes to the fact that something is up, however she says nothing just then for Teddy would be sure to hear, but she intends to find out everything.
Jimmy says, 'Thanks, and for a second or two there is an awkward pause, neither Lippa nor Dalrymple feeling quite at their ease, and George never speaks except it is necessary; but Teddy suddenly appears, and suggests that the baby ought to be visited, and after a long argument as to who it is like, remembers that he came with a message to the effect that his mother wanted to speak to his father.
'What for? asks Lippa, stroking her right arm with her left hand. Jimmy considers for a moment wondering what he had better say, and then suddenly seized with an inspiration 'I do believe I hurt you, he says, 'the match didn't touch you, did it? 'No; but you did, replies she, and then seeing the consternation depicted on his face, Miss Seaton smiles, and then they both laugh.
Truly love is a dangerous thing. 'I say, Mab, there's such a delightful monkey outside, do lend me sixpence? Mrs Seaton looks up from a telegram she is reading and says to Philippa, 'Never mind the monkey, I've just had this from George and 'Is he ill? inquires Lippa. 'No, but 'Do give me the sixpence then, I will be back in a moment again.
Lippa waltzes off with him through the crowded room and just a little sigh escapes her as the music stops. 'Where would you like to go to? asks he. 'To supper or the garden? 'Oh, the garden, says Miss Seaton, 'fancy naming them together. Supper is such a very prosaic affair, and then as they enter the garden, 'One could almost imagine oneself miles away from London here.
'Marie had better walk with us there, but it's such a little way we can come back by ourselves, can't we. 'Yes; I should think so, says Philippa. 'Then I'll just go and get my hat, and Teddy, pausing at the door, adds. 'Do you know I think you're a very good aunt for a boy to have. 'Indeed? and Lippa laughs.
'By Jove, he says, 'she is handsome. She's getting into a third class, doesn't look like it, does she? 'No, says Lippa, and then they forget all about her, till on reaching their destination, they see her again. 'Hullo, says Dalrymple, 'there's that woman again, I wonder who she is? As they pass out of the station, she drops her umbrella, and Jimmy picking it up, restores it to her.
'I've ordered the dog-cart, says the latter, in the course of breakfast, to Lippa, who is sitting next him, 'because I thought we might leave the old people to go by themselves. I've got an awfully good animal, which I should like you to see, what! My sister and Dalrymple will come too, and we can go where we please.
