"I must congratulate van Buren," I said, "or he will believe I'm jealous." So I shook hands with the Viking, having blessed the pair, and was in the act of annexing Nell when the alleged Lady MacNairne found it convenient to give me Freule Menela's message.
You know, we must stop on board till Lady MacNairne's better, so there's no hurry, and he had to change. At first he wouldn't go without an answer. But I told him I must have ten minutes to make up my mind. He's explained everything. He was never to blame. It was all Freule Menela's fault and mine. Please say what you think. You know him so well; you're old friends.
Luckily, the party distributed itself in two carriages, and though I could not resist the fair Menela's "Come with me, Mr. Starr," fortunately the L.C.P. jumped in with Tibe, whose mood was so obstreperous that clearly he did not find canal life relaxing.
Whether he was worrying over his own affairs, or whether friend Robert had commandered his hero's sympathy, I could not guess, and dared not ask. Nor had I much time to speculate upon Alb's business, for I saw by Freule Menela's eye that my own was pressing, and all my energies were bent in steering clear of her during the good-by excursion through Utrecht.
However, I had not taken Freule Menela's talents into due account or my own failings. "Is there such a man?" she asked. "There might be," I cautiously repeated. "The question is, are you engaged to Mr. van Buren, or are you not?" "There has been an understanding between his family and mine, for many years, that some day we should marry," she answered.
