At present she is washing one of baby's frocks with my savon de rose, because she declares that the soap they gave her in the kitchen contains enough lye to corrode the fibers of the fabric." "Then you think she may suit you?" said Lodloe.
"Now then," said he, resuming his seat, "the next favor I'll ask will be to allow me to fill my pipe, and put to you a few questions as to the way the land lies about here at present. I've been away for a year and a half, and don't know what's going on, or who's dead or alive. By the way, have you happened to hear anybody speak of me?" "I should think so," said Lodloe, laughing.
Go in to your supper, and I will push him about until you come out again. Then you can show me how to put him to bed." "Isn't she coming in?" asked Mrs. Petter, looking out of the window as she took her seat at the table. "Of course not," said Mrs. Cristie, in a tone which was intended to make an impression on Mr. Lodloe; "my maids do not eat with me." "But, goodnessfulme!" said Mrs.
I shall be on the boat until we reach Romney." "That is where I get off," she said. "Indeed," said he; "then perhaps you will engage the country girl whom I intended to hire." "Do you know any one living there," she asked, "who would come to me as nurse-maid?" "I don't know a soul in Romney," said Lodloe; "I never was in the place in my life.
Lodloe was in the driver's place, and that Mrs. Cristie, with Ida Mayberry holding the baby, was on the back seat. The place next Lodloe was vacant, and they seemed to be waiting for some one. Then Lanigan Beam came up. There was a good deal of conversation, in which he seemed to be giving information, and presently he sprang up beside the driver and they were off.
That suits me beautifully." At this moment Lodloe entered the shop, and Miss Calthea Rose greeted him with much graciousness. "You must have taken a short walk," said Lanigan. "Don't you want to wait until I finish my cigar? It's so much pleasanter to smoke here than in the open air. Perhaps Miss Calthea will let you join me." Lodloe was perfectly willing to wait, but did not wish to smoke.
Lodloe, I have before me the greatest chance of my life. It almost never happens that a man has an opportunity of hearing a straightforward account of what people say about him. Now if you want to do the biggest kind of favor to a fellow-being, just tell me what you heard of me to-night.
Tippengray, who had had a quiet wedding in New York, were on their way to Cambridge, England, where the bride would spend a portion of the honeymoon in the higher studies there open to women, while Mrs. Cristie and Mr. Lodloe were passing happy days in the metropolis preparing for their marriage early in the new year.
But I saw you were smoking, and it struck me that a man who smokes is generally a pretty good fellow, and so I came over." "Glad to see you," said Lodloe; "and what can I do for you?" "Well, in the first place," said Beam, "have you any liquid ammonia? The first notice I had of the wasps in that room was this sting on my finger." Lodloe was sorry that he did not possess anything of the kind.
Lodloe looked out of the window. Ida Mayberry was leaning forward on the bench, twirling a great yellow flower before the child, who was laughing and making snatches at it. In a moment appeared Mr. Tippengray with a large white daisy; he leaned over the other side of the carriage and twirled his flower in front of the baby.
