Milray made the landlord tell her all about coaching parades, and the champions of former years on the East Side and the West Side, and then she said that the Middlemount House must take the prize from them all this year, or she should never come near his house again. He answered, with a dignity and spirit he rarely showed with Mrs. Milray's class of custom, "I'm goin' to drive our hossis myself."
Milray easily possessed himself of the history of her life and of all its circumstances, and he said he would like to meet her father and make the acquaintance of a man whose mind, as Clementina interpreted it to him, he found so original. He authorized his wife to arrange with Mrs. Atwell for a monopoly of Clementina's time while he stayed at Middlemount, and neither he nor Mrs.
"I didn't know but I'd been trying to convert you without knowing it." They both laughed, and were then rather seriously silent. He asked, after a moment, in a fresh beginning, "Have you heard from Miss Milray since you left Florence?" "Oh, yes, didn't I tell you? She's coming here in June." "Well, she won't have the pleasure of seeing me, then. I'm going the last of May."
"Vice-consul, I should say, and I wish to lay them both before you, in order that " "Oh, that is all right," said Clementina sweetly. "I'm glad there is a will. I was afraid there wasn't any at all. Mr. Bennam and I looked for it everywhe'e." She smiled upon the Rev. Mr. Orson, who silently handed her a paper. It was the will which Milray had written for Mrs.
But then again she felt that this would be somehow a profanation, and she wanted to pack her up and get her back to Middlemount before anything of the kind should happen. She gave Milray these impressions of Clementina in the letter she wrote to thank him for her, and to scold him for sending the girl to her.
She got on very well with Milray, and it was perhaps not altogether her own fault that she did not get on so well with his family, when she began to substitute a society aim for the artistic ambition that had brought her to New York. They might have forgiven him for marrying her, but they could not forgive her for marrying him.
"I don't think anything; I'm so glad! I supposed from what you said about the world, that it must be But if it isn't, all the better. If it's Mr. Hinkle that you can have " "I'm not sure I can. I should like to tell you just how it is, and then you will know." It needed fewer words for this than she expected, and then Clementina took a letter from her pocket, and gave it to Miss Milray.
She could not go to her chair beside Milray, for his wife was now keeping guard of him on the other side with unexampled devotion. Lord Lioncourt asked her to walk with him and she consented. She thought that Mr. Ewins would go and sit by Mrs. Milray, of course, but when she came round in her tour of the ship, Mrs. Milray was sitting alone beside her husband.
You let the meaning come through when there is any." "Sometimes," said Clementina ingenuously, "I read too fast; the children ah' so impatient when I'm reading to them at home, and they hurry me. But I can read a great deal slower if you want me to." "No, I'm impatient, too," said Milray. "Are there many of them, the children?" "There ah' six in all." "And are you the oldest?"
"Yes," said Clementina. She still felt it very blunt not to say sir, too, but she tried to make her tone imply the sir, as Mr. Gregory had bidden her. "You've got a very pretty name." Clementina brightened. "Do you like it? Motha gave it to me; she took it out of a book that fatha was reading to her." "I like it very much," said Milray. "Are you tall for your age?" "I guess I am pretty tall."
