This response was so benevolent that Basil Dashwood presently began: "May I ask you at what theatre you've made arrangements?" Sherringham looked at him a moment. "Come and see me at the embassy and I'll tell you." Then he added: "I know your sister, Mrs. Lovick." "So I supposed: that's why I took the liberty of asking such a question." "It's no liberty, but Mr.
"I don't care for his looks, but I should like his tips," Miriam liberally smiled. "And is he coming over to see you?" asked Sherringham, to whom, while this exchange of remarks, which he had not lost, was going on, Mrs. Rooth had in lowered accents addressed herself. "Not if I can help it I think!" But Mr. Lovick was so gaily rude that it wasn't embarrassing.
"I doubt if you've an idea of what girls have to go through." "Never, never never till I'm pelted!" she cried. "Then stay on here a bit. I'll take you to the theatres." "Oh you dear!" Miriam delightedly exclaimed. Mr. and Mrs. Lovick, accompanied by Mrs.
"It's just a little brother of mine such a dear, amusing, clever boy," Mrs. Lovick explained. "Do you know she has got nine? Upon my honour she has!" said her husband. "This one is the sixth. Fancy if I had to take them all over!" "Yes, it makes it rather awkward," Mrs. Lovick amiably conceded. "He has gone on the stage, poor darling but he acts rather well."
She repeated her declaration that she recognised the fallacy of her mother's view of heroines impossibly virtuous and of the importance of her looking out for such tremendously proper people. "One must let her talk, but of course it creates a prejudice," she said with her eyes on Mr. and Mrs. Lovick, who had got up, terminating their communion with Mrs. Rooth.
The Lovicks remained a colleague and his sociable wife and Peter gave them a hint that they were not to plant him there only with the two ladies. Miriam quitted Mrs. Lovick, who had attempted, with no great subtlety, to engage her, and came up to her host as if she suspected him of a design of stealing from the room and had the idea of preventing it.
"I don't judge; I only wait and pray. But Mr. Dashwood thinks she's wonderful." "That's a blessing. And when did he turn up?" "About a fortnight ago. We met Mrs. Lovick at the English church, and she was so good as to recognise us and speak to us. She said she had been away with her children otherwise she'd have come to see us. She had just returned to Paris." "Yes, I've not yet seen her.
I see Lovick," Peter added, "but he doesn't talk of his brother-in-law." "I didn't, that day, like his tone about him," Mrs. Rooth observed. "We walked a little way with Mrs. Lovick after church and she asked Miriam about her prospects and if she were working. Miriam said she had no prospects." "That wasn't very nice to me," Sherringham commented.
"The kindness of every one has been beyond everything. Mr. and Mrs. Lovick can't say enough. They make the most obliging offers. They want you to know their brother." "Oh I say, he's no brother of mine," Mr. Lovick protested good-naturedly. "They think he'll be so suggestive, he'll put us up to the right things," Mrs. Rooth went on.
"He tried for the diplomatic service, but he didn't precisely dazzle his examiners," Mr. Lovick further mentioned. "Edmund's very nasty about him. There are lots of gentlemen on the stage he's not the first." "It's such a comfort to hear that," said Mrs. Rooth. "I'm much obliged to you. Has he got a theatre?" Miriam asked.
