"Too far for my peace of mind, anyhow." "That tells me nothing. I am not to know any more?" "You are to know what you please." "Well," she said, "I please to forget it. Now I had better tell you how much I love Martley. James says that the house is perfect in its way; but I say that you have done justice to the site, and think it higher praise." "It is. I'm much obliged to you.
"Is that what you've done at Martley? I shan't praise you when I see it. I hate too-muchness." "So do I, but always too late. I ought to learn from you, whose frugality is part of your charm. One can't imagine too much Lucy." "Ah, don't be sure," she cautioned him. "Ask James." "I shall. I'm quite equal to that. I'll ask him to-day.
James as Eros wouldn't do, chiefly because such conduct on James's part would have been incredible. Urquhart didn't know it would be incredible, nor did he know that she did. One other thing he didn't know, which was that Lucy was half his own before she started for Martley. She, in fact, didn't know it either.
She had been his from the moment when she had asked him to keep out of the air, and he had declined. All this is necessary matter, because in the light of it his next deliberated move in his game was a bad mistake. On the night before she was expected at Martley, being there himself, he wrote her a letter to this effect: "Dear Mrs.
Don't like hunting, but I do like her and there's a great deal waiting to be done at Martley. I don't know. We'll talk about it to-morrow." Then he asked her, "Would she come and look at Martley?" It seemed she had half promised. She said, "Oh, yes, of course." Nothing of that kind seemed very important. But James here looked down at her, which made it different.
"That's a remarkable woman," she said to herself, "who would rather have a heartache now than grin with misery next week. After this I'd trust her anywhere." On Sunday morning Urquhart made an explicit return to Martley, arriving at the hour of eleven in his motor of battleship grey colour and formidable fore-extension. Behind it looked rather like a toy.
How much did Urquhart like her? She hoped, against conviction, that she might have answered these questions before she met him again which would probably be at Martley. Just now, stoutly bearing her disapproval, he was doubtless at Byfleet or elsewhere risking his neck. She answered a question possibly arising out of this by a shrewd smile. "Of course I don't disapprove. He knows that.
