But he saw that Mrs Lupex was looking at him from the other side of the table, and he could not quite enjoy the goods which the gods had provided for him. When the ladies left the dining-room Lupex and the two young men drew their chairs near the fire, and each prepared for himself a moderate potation.
When you've a wife of your own, if ever you do have one, you'll find you'll have trouble enough then without anybody else interfering with you. Not but what I believe you're innocent as a lamb about Mrs Lupex; that is, as far as any harm goes. But you've got yourself into all this trouble by meddling, and was like enough to get yourself choked upstairs by that man.
After that, Cradell managed to carry back the conversation to Mrs Lupex and his own peculiar position, and as Eames did not care to ask from his companion further advice in his own matters, he listened nearly in silence till they reached Burton Crescent. "I hope you found the noble earl well," said Mrs Roper to him, as soon as they were all seated at dinner.
Mrs Roper was not worse than others of her class. She would much have preferred lodgers who were respectable to those who were not so, if she could only have found respectable lodgers as she wanted them. Mr and Mrs Lupex hardly came under that denomination; and when she gave them up her big front bedroom at a hundred a year, she knew she was doing wrong.
"When I was a girl, I used to be very intimate " "You ain't a girl any longer, and so you'd better not talk about it," said Lupex. Mr Lupex had been at that little shop in Drury Lane after he came down from his scene-painting. "My dear, you needn't be a brute to me before all Mrs Roper's company.
Mrs Lupex was, as I have already described her, a woman not without some feminine attraction in the eyes of those who like morning negligence and evening finery, and do not object to a long nose somewhat on one side. She was clever in her way, and could say smart things. She could flatter also, though her very flattery had always in it something that was disagreeable.
And then she liberated him; and the two strolled into the front sitting-room. "I declare, Mr Eames," said Mrs Lupex, "I'm glad you've come. Here's Mr Cradell does say such queer things." "Queer things!" said Cradell. "Now, Miss Spruce, I appeal to you Have I said any queer things?" "If you did, sir, I didn't notice them," said Miss Spruce. "I noticed them, then," said Mrs Lupex.
"Mr Cradell, I greatly rejoice that you did not obey my summons on that night. Had you done so, I confess it now, had you done so, blood would have been the consequence. I was mistaken. I acknowledge my mistake; but blood would have been the consequence." "Dear, dear, dear," said Miss Spruce. "Miss Spruce," continued Lupex, "there are moments when the heart becomes too strong for a man."
"Do you know, I like that kind of deshabille," said Cradell. "Too much care always betrays itself." "But a woman should be tidy." "What a word to apply to such a creature as Mrs Lupex! I call her a splendid woman. And how well she was got up last night. Do you know, I've an idea that Lupex treats her very badly. She said a word or two to me yesterday that ," and then he paused.
"I prefer honest manners, Mrs Lupex, and decent manners, and manners that won't shock a whole house full of people; and I don't care whether they come from Manchester or London." "Milliner's manners, I suppose?" "I don't care whether they are milliner's manners or theatrical, Mrs Lupex, as long as they're not downright bad manners as yours are, Mrs Lupex. And now you've got it.
