"Didn't he speak of the party?" "Oh, yes, a great deal. He said that henceforth he would have none of the Southdown Road people, male or female, at the Manor House. I thought he was going to curse the Horlocks; but I reminded him of the Viceroys. As for the Measons, I don't know what he would have said if he hadn't been crying."
The grocer who had placed a bas-relief of himself over his door was greatly wondered at, and Sally told an amusing anecdote regarding the invitations he sent out for the first dinner party. The conversation turned on the Measons. Jack's ship had gone to China, and he was not expected back much before Christmas. "That's very sad, Sally. How will you be able to live through so many months?"
The proprietors of the baths, the Measons, poor as church mice, the son a mate of a merchant vessel these are not proper associates for my daughters. I will not know them; I will not have them in my house." "The Measons are quite as good as we are, father. They may be poor, but as far as family goes "
"The Measons are just as good as we are, though they mayn't be so rich. I should like to know who has been talking to him about me; I wonder who told him I spent hours on the beach with Jimmy; I met him once there quite by accident, and we sat down for ten minutes. I daresay it was Berkins." "No, Sally, don't," said Grace, clasping her hands.
"So he did, but I don't see what there was particularly to upset him this time. Meason is away at sea, and you have promised not to see him any more." "Oh, I wasn't thinking about the Measons but haven't you heard? I only heard it through a friend, but I know for a fact that Willy has lost nearly all his money on the Stock Exchange." "You don't say so; I am so sorry."
"Why didn't you tell cook that she must take her orders from you and no one else?" "So I did, but Sally said I was no more mistress here than she was. I said Grace had given me charge of the house, when she could not attend to it; but Sally will listen to no one, she'll drive father out of his mind. There's no one he hates like the Measons." "What is the matter with Grace? Where is she?"
Next day Willy called at the studio, and Frank told him what had occurred. "But I don't see why you shouldn't come to the Manor House," said Willy. "If you will only say something about the Measons, I think it can be made all right." "No, I'm not going to turn against Meason; I have always found him a good fellow. I know nothing about his flirtation with Sally."
