I did what I wanted a moment ago," he continued with some precipitation: "I brought you out handsomely on the subject of Mr. Longdon. That was my idea just to draw you." "Well," said Nanda, looking away again, "he has come into my life." "He couldn't have come into a place where it gives me more pleasure to see him."
Longdon's expense to expose everything and criticise. Father and mother, in Scotland, are on a grand campaign. Well" she pulled herself up "I'm not in THAT at any rate. Say you've lent Harold only five shillings," she went on. Vanderbank stood smiling. "Well, say I have. I never lend any one whatever more." "It only adds to my conviction," Nanda explained, "that he writes to Mr. Longdon."
She fairly coloured with the attempt. "One must let the sense of all that I speak of well, all come. One must rather like it. I don't know but I suppose one must rather grovel." Mr. Longdon, though with visible reluctance, turned it over. "That's very fine but you're a woman." "Yes that must make a difference. But being a woman, in such a case, has then," Nanda went on, "its advantages."
Longdon and I. It can't be helped, I suppose," he went on, for Tishy, with sociable sadness, "but it IS short innings." Mrs. Grendon, who was clearly credulous, looked positively frightened. "Ah but, my dear, thank you! I haven't begun to LIVE." "Well, I have that's just where it is," said Harold. "Thank you all the more, old Van, for the tip."
"I don't think I CAN, dear Van really CLEAR. You know however yourself," she continued to Mitchy, "enough by this time about Mr. Longdon and mamma." "Oh rather!" Mitchy laughed. "And about mamma and Nanda." "Oh perfectly: the way Nanda reminds him, and the 'beautiful loyalty' that has made him take such a fancy to her. But I've already embraced the facts you needn't dot any i's."
Longdon will surely consider that she'll want it if she doesn't marry still more than if she does. So we shall be SO much at least," she wound up "I mean Edward and I and the child will be to the good." Mitchy, for an equal certainty, required but an instant's thought. "Oh there can be no doubt about THAT. The things about which your mind may now be at ease !" he cheerfully exclaimed.
Longdon appeared to accept his prospect of isolation with a certain gravity. "I gather from you I've gathered indeed from Mr. Vanderbank that you're a little sort of a set that hang very much together." "Oh yes; not a formal association nor a secret society still less a 'dangerous gang' or an organisation for any definite end.
"Well, you'll tell me if you think so." "Ah with a child of seventeen !" Mr. Longdon murmured it as if in dread of having to pronounce. "This one too IS seventeen?" Vanderbank again considered. "Eighteen." He just hung fire once more, then brought out: "Well, call it nearly nineteen. I've kept her birthdays," he laughed. His companion caught at the idea. "Upon my honour I should like to!
Longdon, to whom clearly she wished to convey that if he had wondered a short time before how Mrs. Brook would do it he must now be quite at his ease. He indulged in fact, after this lady's last words, in a pause that might have signified some of the fulness of a new light. He only said very quietly: "I thought you liked it." At this his neighbour broke in. "The care you take of the child?
"That he fears I may want in any way to what do you call it? make up to him." She spoke as if she only wished it had been. "He has a deeper thought." "Well then what in goodness is it?" the Duchess pressed. Mr. Longdon had said nothing more, but Mrs. Brook preferred none the less to treat the question as between themselves. She WAS, as the others said, wonderful.
