"What good does it do US?" Mr. Longdon thought. "We can at least respect ourselves." "CAN we?" Mitchy smiled. "And HE can respect us," his friend, as if not hearing him, went on. Mitchy seemed almost to demur. "He must think we're 'rum." "Well, Mrs. Brook's worse than rum. He can't respect HER." "Oh that will be perhaps," Mitchy laughed, "what she'll get just most out of!"
After so much absence he COULD come." "Well, if he established that he isn't brutal, where was the retreat?" "In his not going up to Nanda. He came frankly to do that, but made up his mind on second thoughts that he couldn't risk even being civil to her." Mitchy had visibly warmed to his work. "Well, and what made the difference?" She wondered. "What difference?"
It places him a little with Lady Fanny 'He will, he won't; he won't, he will! Only, to be perfect, it lacks, as I say, the element of real suspense." Mitchy frankly wondered. "It does, you think? Not for me not wholly." He turned again quite pleadingly to their friend. "I hope it doesn't for yourself totally either?"
Vanderbank after a slight pause demanded. Mitchy, watching him more than he watched Mitchy, shook a mildly decisive head. "No." Vanderbank, his eyes on his smoke-puffs, seemed to wonder. "What you wanted is something else?" "Something else." "Oh!" said Vanderbank for the third time.
In the effort of seeing, or perhaps indeed in the full act of it, poor Mitchy glared as never before. "Do you mean Van's JEALOUS of me?" Pressed as she was, there was something in his face that momentarily hushed her. "There it is!" she achieved however at last. "Of ME?" Mitchy went on.
I didn't marry her, I give you to believe, that she should stay 'in, and if any of you think to frighten Mitchy with it I imagine you'll do so as little as you frighten ME. If it has taken her a very short time as Harold so vividly puts it to which of you did I ever pretend, I should like to know, that it would take her a very long one?
Brook went on, "really and honestly, and as I trust you, to give it. But the comfort of you is that you'll do so if you promise." Mitchy was infinitely struck. "But I haven't promised, eh? Of course I can't till I know what it is." "It's to put before him !" "Oh I see: the situation." "What has happened here to-day.
But that's the advantage," she almost prattled on, "of having so many such charming friends. They DON'T come down." This again was a remark of a sweep that there appeared to be nothing in Brookenham's mind to match; so that, scarcely pausing in the walk he had resumed, he only said: "Who do you mean by 'all'?" "Why if he has had anything from Mitchy I dare say he has had something from Van."
"If you do me so much justice then, why did you put to me such a cold cruel question? I mean when you so oddly challenged me on my handing on your news to Mitchy. If the principal beauty of our effort to live together is and quite according to your own eloquence in our sincerity, I simply obeyed the impulse to do the sincere thing. If we're not sincere we're nothing."
"Why on earth ? But do you suppose I'd tell you if he had?" "He hasn't really borrowed the most dreadful sums?" Mitchy was highly diverted. "Why should he? For what, please?" "That's just it for what? What does he do with it all? What in the world becomes of it?" "Well," Mitchy suggested, "he's saving up to start a business. Harold's irreproachable hasn't a vice.
