But, to look as happy as that and have a face so flushed, was quite mysterious and required the opinion of the Crow! So she dragged Colonel Lowerby off to a sofa, and began at once: "Crow, do look at Ethelrida's face! Did you ever see one so idiotically blissful, except when she has been kissed by the person she loves?"
"Couldn't you say something to her, Crow, dear? We are all so awfully fond of Tristram, and there does seem some tragedy hanging over them that ought to be stopped at once. Couldn't you, Crow?" But Colonel Lowerby shook his head. "It is too confoundedly ticklish," he grunted. "It might do some good, and it might just do the other thing. It is too dangerous to interfere."
"I can't say what it is, but it is something subtle and extraordinary, like that in his niece what do you think?" Colonel Lowerby paused, struck from her words by the fact that he had been too preoccupied to have noticed this really interesting man. "Why, 'pon my soul I haven't thought!" he said, "but now you speak of it, I do think he is a remarkable chap."
But these creatures were in the glory of their beauty and the joy of life, and had preyed upon the souls of no one. Her wonderful face, which interested Colonel Lowerby so, was again abstracted. Something had brought back that hateful moment to her memory; she could hear Féto, the dancer's shrieks, and see the blood; and she shivered suddenly and clasped her hands.
I think it is horrid of him sitting like that talking to Laura, don't you?" "A viper, Laura," growled the Crow. "She's trying to get him again in the rebound." "I cannot imagine why women cannot leave other women's husbands alone. They are hateful creatures, most of them." "Natural instinct of the chase," said Colonel Lowerby. But Lady Anningford flashed. "You are a cynic, Crow."
"What in the world is it, Crow?" she said. "When you laugh like that, I always know some diabolically cynical idea is floating in your head, and it is not good for you. Tell me at once what you mean!" But Colonel Lowerby refused to be drawn, and presently took Tristram off into the billiard-room.
Expect Tristram's pulled the curb doesn't understand as yet." "Why, how could a person who must always have had heaps of cash Markrute's niece, you know and a fine position be like your dog, Crow? You are drawing it!" "Well, you need not mind what I say, Jimmy," Colonel Lowerby went on. "Judge for yourself.
Theodora had promised they would lunch in Charles Street with her the next day if her husband should be well enough after the ball. And Anne decided to collect as many nice people to meet them as she could in the time. At the corner of Grosvenor Square she met an old friend, one Colonel Lowerby, commonly called the Crow, and stopped to pick him up and take him on with her.
Crow, leave me with him, like the dear you always are," she whispered to Colonel Lowerby, "and come and find me again in a few minutes." "Hector, what is it?" she asked, anxiously, when they stood alone. "Look!" said Lord Bracondale. "Look at Wensleydown leaning over Theodora." He was so moved that he uttered the name without being aware of it. "Did you ever see such a damned cad as he is?
"You see," she continued, "beyond Morella, who is too absolutely unalluring and respectable to come to harm anywhere, and Miss Linwood, who only cares for bridge, there will hardly be another woman in the house who has not got a lover, and the atmosphere of those things is catching don't you think so?" "It is nature," said Colonel Lowerby.
