Dick felt that the Governor would be a cold, and Lady Eynesford a thoroughly unfavourable, auditor of his views on the Medlands, but, in spite of Daisy's cruel indifference, he had taken advantage of her permission to pay her more than one visit, and he poured out his soul to his sister. His outpourings consisted of enthusiastic praises of both father and daughter.
"We shall live to regret it," said Lady Eynesford, "but it shall be as you wish, Willie." So the Medlands came with the rest of the world to the flower-show, and were received with due ceremony and regaled with suitable fare.
Coxon!" And for the moment Lady Eynesford's heart really warmed to the man who had relieved her of the Medlands. "When are you coming to see us?" she went on. "Or is it wrong for you to come now? Politically wrong, I mean." "I was afraid it might be wrong otherwise," Coxon suggested. "Not unless you feel it so, I'm sure." "Perhaps Miss Derosne " he began, but Lady Eynesford was on the alert.
Dick gave her one glance. Then, assuming an air of trepidation, he murmured reproachfully, "Nous sommes trahis." "What have you to say for yourself? No, I'm not joking. I particularly wanted to avoid being mixed up with these Medlands one bit more than we could help, and, directly my back is turned, you go and " "Have you seen Alicia yet?" asked Dick. "Seen Alicia? No, not to talk to."
Thus Eleanor Scaife, having rid her party of the Medlands for the moment, as she impatiently added was at liberty to listen to the conversation of Mrs. Puttock. Mrs. Puttock was always most civil to any of the Government House party, and she entertained Eleanor, who resolutely refused all invitations to dance, with plenty of gossip.
A woman, she reflected, who studies the problems of society, must be prepared for everything. Still, she felt that intimacy with the Medlands was not to be encouraged, and began to range herself by Lady Eynesford's side so far as the Premier was concerned. "We had a delightful trip," said Lady Eynesford, on the afternoon of the day following the dance.
