In this direction music could be distinctly heard coming from Longworth's Division a lively march waking the echoes of the night with its clear full tones. Music?
You see, we are on our way to look at the mine, and, I suppose, we shall have to obtain the consent of the manager before we can do so. Miss Longworth's companion had emerged for a moment from her wraps and looked at John, but instantly retired among the furs again with a shiver. She was not so young as her companion, and she considered this the most frightful climate she had ever encountered.
This soft air, redolent of spicy midsummer odors, seemed to produce an invincible indolence, even of thought. After the struggles of the past winter, I was feeling the reaction in utter relaxation of will and purpose. I wondered, were I in Mr. Longworth's place, would I ever write again, from the mere love of it? Was the end, even if that end were success, worth the pain of attaining it?
And so George Wentworth, clenching his hands with rage, was shown to the door. He had the rest of the day to ponder on the fact that an angry man seldom accomplishes his purpose. The stormy interview with Wentworth disturbed the usual serenity of Mr. Longworth's temper.
Longworth's means stood ready to pay cash, at the rate of from a dollar to a dollar and a quarter a gallon, for all the grape-juice that might be brought to him, without reference to the quantity.
Miss Longworth's father being a member of the London Syndicate, suppose he asks what our views in relation to the matter are: would we be justified in telling him anything? 'He won't ask me as I don't know him; he may ask you, and if he does, then you will have to decide the question for yourself. 'Would you say anything about it if you were in my place? 'Oh, I don't know.
Something in the laugh aroused Miss Longworth's recollection, and a chill of fear came over her; but, looking at the girl again, she saw she was mistaken. Susy jumped up, still laughing, and drew a pin from the little cap she wore, flinging it on the chair; then she pulled off her wig, and stood before Edith Longworth her natural self. 'Miss Brewster! gasped the astonished Edith.
Anger burned in Miss Longworth's face, and flashed from her eyes as she answered: 'You must not speak to me in that way. 'Excuse me, I shall speak to you in just the way I please. I did not ask for this conference; you did, and as you have taken it upon yourself to come into this room uninvited, you will have to put up with what you hear.
"Send two hundred shells immediately by automobile from Union to the 8th Battery Volunteers stationed before Hilgard," ordered the general through the telephone "What, there aren't any shells at Union? The last have been forwarded to Longworth's Division? But I must have at least a hundred; have them brought back at once from the right wing No automobile, either?"
He tried to speak to her on one or two occasions when he met her alone; but he could get no answer from the girl, who was very shy and demure, and knew her place, as people say. All this only enhanced her value in young Longworth's estimation, and he thought highly of his cousin's taste in choosing this young person to dust the furniture.
