There was a slight unsteadiness once in her voice, and he could almost have sworn her eyes showed that old brave wistfulness. " and quite as if you were a stranger." "Thank you! and, Miss Milbrey?" "Yes?" "Your brother may become entangled in some way with this woman." "It's entirely possible." Her voice was cool and even again. "He might even marry her."
Drelmer requested everybody to fancy immediately. "Your grandfather is so dear and quaint," said Mrs. Milbrey; "you must certainly bring him to New York with you, for of course a young man of your capacity and graces will never be satisfied out of New York." "Young men like yourself are assuredly needed there," remarked Mr. Milbrey, warmly.
At the far side of the room Miss Milbrey had that instant arrived before an antique oval mirror whose gilded carvings reflected the light of the candle. She held it above her head with one rounded arm. He stood in deep shadow and the girl had been too absorbed in the play to note his coming.
I told her they'd never have a chance to say a word; and she was anxious Perce shouldn't know, because she says he's so cynical about New York people since that Milbrey girl made such a set for him; and at last she called me a dear and consented, though she'd been looking forward to a quiet summer. To-morrow early we start out for the shops."
Please demolish that rumour on my authority next time you hear it, thoroughly, so they can make nothing out of the pieces." Miss Milbrey showed genuine disappointment. "I had thought, naturally " "The only member of that household I could marry is not suited to my age." Miss Milbrey was puzzled. "But, really, she's not so old." "No, not so very old.
But he had not done so, and she was glad he could be restrained and deliberate in that "breedy" sort of way. It promised well, that he could wait until the morrow. An Afternoon Stroll and an Evening Catastrophe Miss Milbrey, the next morning, faced with becoming resignation what she felt would be her last day of entire freedom.
No; it has two stacks; and it's not your people because the Lotus is black. I shall go back to the hotel. Bertie Trafford brought me over on the trolley. I must find him first and do an errand in Thames Street." At the head of the stairs they parted, Milbrey joining the lady who had waited for him. Hers was a person to gladden the eye.
The girl herself seemed to have regained the charming frankness of her first manner with him. Their relationship was defined irrevocably. No uncertainty of doubt or false seeming lurked now under the surface to perplex and embarrass. The relief was felt at once by each. "I'm to have the pleasure of taking you in, Miss Milbrey hostess issues special commands to that effect." "Isn't that jolly!
These people have so much money, I hear, it amounts to financial embarrassment, but with those two chaps for the girl, and Avice Milbrey for that decent young chap, I fancy they'll be disembarrassed, in a measure. But I mustn't 'play favourites, as those slangy nephews of mine put it."
"Of course a young man's bound to get some foolishness into him in an Eastern college like this boy went to." Percival had flushed at the compliment to himself; also at the old man's failure to identify it as such. Mr. Milbrey caressed his glass of claret with ardent eyes and took the situation in hand with the easy confidence of a master.
