"It's awfully kind of you, Lady Mickleham," he said. "I am a kind old thing," said Dolly, all over dimples. "I can easily get to know them." "Oh, you really are awfully kind, Lady Mickleham." Dolly smiled upon him, waved her hand to me, and drove off, crying "Do try to make Mr. Carter understand!" We were left along. George wore a meditative smile.
"Absurd as the supposition is," I remarked, "it yet serves to point the argument. Lady Mickleham might have been talking with a friend, just in the quiet rational way in which we are talking now." "I don't think that's likely," said Mrs.
The Duke stopped, searched his memory, and said that at the end of the Red Corridor there was a passage, and that a few yards down the passage, if you turned very suddenly to the right, you would come on a little nook under the stairs. The next-door neighbor thanked the Duke, and observed to Miss Phyllis "It will give me great pleasure to take you to Lady Mickleham."
I'm late!" And as I went I heard Miss Dolly say, "I thought you were never coming, Archie, dear!" Well, she didn't think he was coming just then. No more did I. The other day I paid a call on Miss Dolly Foster for the purpose of presenting to her my small offering on the occasion of her marriage to Lord Mickleham.
So they went, it being then, according to Miss Phyllis' sworn statement precisely two hours and five minutes since Dolly had disappeared; and, pursuing the route indicated by the Duke, they found Lady Mickleham. And Lady Mickleham exclaimed, "Good gracious, my dear, I'd quite forgotten you! Have you had an ice? Do take her to have an ice, Sir John."
Just what you said, you know." "But why not tell Mickleham about Phil Meadows?" I urged. "It's all to your credit, you know." "I know, but men are so foolish. You see, Archie thinks " "Of course he does." "You might let me finish." "Archie thinks you were never in love before." "Yes, he does. Well, of course, I wasn't in love with Phil " "Not a little bit?" "Oh, well " "Nor with any one else?"
"I've thought it all over very carefully," said she; "both as it would affect me and as it would affect Archie." "Quite so. Now suppose you think how it would affect them?" "Who?" "Why, the men." Lady Mickleham put down her cup of tea. "What a very curious idea!" she exclaimed. "Give it time to sink in," said I, helping myself to another piece of toast.
Brave fellows, brave fellows! Just behind you, Maggie, is the Mickleham Font, one of the finest specimens of modern stone-work in the county given to us by Sir Joseph Mickleham Mickleham Hall, you know, only two miles from here. He used to attend morning service here frequently. Died five years ago. Fine piece of work!" Maggie looked at it.
"It's the very latest thing," said Lady Mickleham, standing by the table in the smoking room, and holding an album in her hand. "I wish it had been a little later still," said I, for I felt embarrassed. "You promise, on your honor, to be absolutely sincere, you know, and then you write what you think of me. See what a lot of opinions I've got already," and she held up the thick album.
"Not to be serious in such a matter is to waste it utterly." "I'll come to the wedding," said Dolly. "There won't be a wedding," said I. "There are Reasons." "Oh! You're very unlucky, Mr. Carter." "That," I observed, "is as it may be, Lady Mickleham." "Were the Reasons at the reception?" "They were. It made no difference."
