"Do you know, I think I rather dislike you," she said. "I envy you most hideously." He laughed. "What an evil nature!" "Well, I've never denied it. I'm dreadfully envious of people who have the chance of doing things, whose limitations are not chalked out on the blackboard before them." "Oh, well, you yourself are not at Medchester now," he reminded her. "You have kicked your own limitation away.
Your question set me thinking. We have tried to make people understand, and many have given most generously, but for all that we cannot cope with such distress as there is to-day in Medchester. I am secretary for one of the distribution societies, and I have seen things which are enough to sadden a man for life, only during the last few days."
She seemed to feel none of the dejection which had stolen away from him the whole flavour of life. Her light easy laugh and cheerful conversation were like a tonic to him. He remembered those days at Medchester After all, she was the first woman whom he had ever looked upon as a comrade, whom he had ever taken out of her sex and considered singly.
I have no friends much, and those whom I have are Medchester people. You see I am scarcely in a position to offer him my society. But all the same, I will take every opportunity I can of going to Enton if he remains there." She thanked him silently. Lady Caroom was on her feet, and Sybil and she went out for their wraps. Lord Arranmore lit a fresh cigarette and sent for his bill.
"Do you know," he said, "you are getting positively frivolous. I don't recognize you. I never saw such a change." She leaned back in her chair, laughing heartily, her eyes bright, her beautiful white teeth in delightful evidence. "Oh, I suppose it's the sense of freedom," she exclaimed. "It's delightful, isn't it? Medchester had got on my nerves. I hated it.
I tell you that in a healthily-governed country there should be work for every man who is able and willing to work. And in England there isn't. Free Trade works out all right logically, but it's one thing to see it all on paper, and it's another to see this here around us and Medchester isn't the worst off by any means." Bullsom was silent for several moments.
Capenhurst, whom I am going to see on Sunday. I expect to learn a lot from her. I was very, very sorry to leave my own girls. It was the only regret I had in leaving Medchester. By the bye, what is this about Mr. Henslow?" "We are thinking of asking him to resign," Brooks answered. "He has been a terrible disappointment to us." She nodded. "I am sorry.
"I see that I should come here with proofs," she exclaimed. "Well, they are easy enough to collect. You shall have them. But before I go, Lord Arranmore, let me ask you if you know who I am." "I understand," Lord Arranmore answered, "that you are the daughter or niece of a highly respectable tradesman in Medchester, who is a client of our young friend here, Mr. Brooks.
We have shown him things in Medchester which he can scarcely forget in a hurry. He will go to Westminster with the memory of these things before him, with such a cry in his ears as no man can stifle. He might forget if he would but he never will. We have shown him things which men may not forget."
Bullsom said, pulling down his waistcoat, and squaring himself to the table. "Not bad, eh, for a country spec?" "It's wonderful," Brooks admitted. "I congratulate you heartily." "Thanks," Mr. Bullsom answered. "We want papa to buy a house in the country, and go to town for the season," Selina said. "So long as we can afford it I am dying to get out of Medchester.
