Now I shall go and speak to Elizabeth about the affair. I thought Elizabeth seemed a little uneasy under my questioning, but she reiterated many times: 'I tell you 'e isn't 'arf gone on Miss Marryun fair mad about 'er 'e is, but 'e told me not to breathe a word about it to a soul. 'Well, he's mad about some one else now, I interposed. Elizabeth looked unduly startled. 'Oo with?
Missus was talkin' to 'er and soothin' 'er. "Don't carry on so," she ses, "for I tells you, it's no use." "No use," ses Miss Marryun in a choked sort o' voice, "why is it no use? I love 'im, I adore 'im. Oh, Willyum, Willyum, you'll break my 'art if you go on with this yeer cold indifference " 'Stop, I interposed sternly. At any other time I might have smiled at the girl's quaint phraseology.
'I got an idea, she said as soon as she had recovered. 'It aint 'arf a bad one. You say you want to know wot it is Miss Marryun likes about you? 'I do, indeed, I said eagerly. 'Well, I can tell you that right away. It's your towsled look, so to speak. Only the other day she ses to me, she ses, "Wot I like about Mr.

With a broad grin she sidled out of the room. As for me, I gathered up the fragments of my pipe and departed.

For answer Marion wired the time of her return train, and I began to grow hopeful. 'An' when Miss Marryun comes, remarked Elizabeth, 'if I wos you I wouldn't say nothin' to 'er about the way Mr. Roarings went after Miss 'Arringay. 'Why not? I asked involuntarily.
I came in to 'ave a word with Miss Marryun and cheer 'er up, like. I bin through it myself, so I knows. She approached Marion and laid a damp red hand on her shoulder. 'I bin lookin' at the cards for you, miss, an' I see a loverly future, she began in a coaxing voice. 'I see a tall dark man crossin' water for you, with a present in 'is right 'and.
'Getting married isn't the only thing in life; as you seem to think, I said rather severely, after a remark of hers that she was glad to think Marion was so happily settled. 'Maybe not, but it's the best, she commented, 'an' as I always sed about Miss Marryun 'Mrs. Rawlings, I corrected. 'Lor', I'll never get used to the name. Mrs.
I was pondering on the remarkable formation of this sentence which lent itself neither to analysis nor parsing, when her next words arrested my instant attention.
