And then he was resolved on another thing. He would call on Lady Mab Grex and ask her advice. He felt so disconsolate and insufficient for himself that he wanted advice from someone whom he could trust. He found Tifto, Dolly Longstaff, and one or two others at the stables, from whence it was intended that the drag should start.
Putting all these things together on the following morning he came to an uncomfortable belief that Tregear was the dream. Soon after that he found himself near to Dolly Longstaff as they were shooting. "You know that fellow Tregear, don't you?" "Oh Lord, yes. He is Silverbridge's pal." "Did you ever hear anything about him?" "What sort of thing?" "Was he ever ever in love with any one?"
"Percival, and Dolly Longstaff, and Jack Hindes, and I. Popplecourt was playing at first." "Lord Popplecourt!" "Yes, sir. But he went away when he began to lose." "Three thousand four hundred pounds! How old are you?" "I am just twenty-one." "You are beginning the world well, Gerald! What is the engagement which Silverbridge has made with Lord Percival?"
"Tifto is in a deuce of a way with you," said Dolly Longstaff to the young member. "I know all about it," said Silverbridge, who had had an interview with his partner since the race. "If you don't take care he'll dismiss you." Silverbridge did not care much about this, knowing that words of wisdom did not ordinarily fall from the mouth of Dolly Longstaff.
"You know what I mean." "But if I don't love you?" "Yes, you do!" "Do I?" "I beg your pardon," said Dolly. "I didn't mean to say that. Of course a man shouldn't make sure of a thing." "Not in this case, Mr. Longstaff; because really I entertain no such feeling." "But you can if you please. Just let me tell you who I am." "That will do no good whatever, Mr. Longstaff."
And yet Dolly Longstaff was the one among her English admirers who had come forward and spoken out. She did not desire that any one should come forward and speak out. But it was an annoyance to her that this special man should have done so. The waiter at the Langham understood American ways perfectly, and when a young man called between three and four o'clock, asking for Mrs.
"I got out of bed at the wrong side. I am cross. I can't get over the spoiling of my flounces. I think you had better both go away and leave me. If I could walk about the room for half an hour and stamp my feet, I should get better." Silverbridge thought that as he had come last, he certainly ought to be left last. Miss Boncassen felt that, at any rate, Mr. Longstaff should go.
The Staffs are originally of Staffordshire, which took its name from them; the first that I find of the Staffs was one Jacobstaff, a famous and renowned astronomer, who, by Dorothy his wife, had issue seven sons viz., Bickerstaff, Longstaff, Wagstaff, Quarterstaff, Whitestaff, Falstaff, and Tipstaff.
But on this day he was not in the humor for it; instead, he thought over the abusive article and the mangled report in the "Longstaff Mercury," and debated within himself whether it were worth an action for libel. His love of fighting said yes, his common sense said no; and in the end common sense won the day, but left him doubly depressed.
I fancy that he got as much from Dolly Longstaff as he did from Gerald; but it won't matter much to Dolly; or if it does, nobody cares. Gerald told me he was writing to you about it, so I am not betraying him. What is to be done? Of course Percival is behaving badly. He always does. I can't turn him out of the house, and he seems to intend to stick to Gerald till he has got the money.
