"If you cling to your idea that I'm frightened you'll be disappointed. It will never be given you to reassure me." "You mean by that that I'm primarily so solid !" "Yes, that till I see you yourself afraid !" "Well?" "Well, I won't admit that anything isn't exactly what I was prepared for." Mitchy looked with interest into his hat. "Then what is it I'm to 'leave' to you?"
"No, I walked." She still spoke without a gleam. "Mother wants me to do everything." "Even to walk!" Mitchy laughed. "Oh yes, we must in these times keep up our walking!" The ingenious observer just now suggested might even have detected in the still higher rise of this visitor's spirits a want of mere inward ease.
Longdon's poised glasses faced him. "Even! I don't mind, as the opportunity has come up, telling you frankly and as from my time of life to your own all the comfort I take in the sense that in any case of need or trouble she might look to you for whatever advice or support the crisis should demand." "She has told you she feels I'd be there?" Mitchy after an instant asked.
"Of course I understand that perfectly. If you hadn't liked her so much " "Well?" said Mitchy as he checked himself. "I would never, last year, have gone to stay with you." "Thank you!" Mitchy laughed. "Though I like you also and extremely," Mr. Longdon gravely pursued, "for yourself." Mitchy made a sign of acknowledgement. "You like me better for HER than you do for anybody else BUT myself."
"Oh!" Mitchy himself felt, as soon as this comment had quitted his lips, that it might sound even to a stranger like a sign, such as the votaries of Mrs. Edward Brookenham had fallen into the way of constantly throwing off, that he recognised her hand in the matter.
She looked gravely from him to Vanderbank and to Mitchy, and then back again from one of these to the other. "Do you think I ought to say?" They both laughed and they both just appeared uncertain, but Vanderbank spoke first. "I don't imagine, Nanda, that you really know." "No as a family, you're perfection!" Mitchy broke out. Before the fire again, with his cup, he addressed his hilarity to Mr.
Mitchett, "who are by no means always so frank with me as I recognise oh, I do THAT! what it must have cost you to be over this little question of Harold. There's one thing, Mrs. Brook, you do dodge." "What do I ever dodge, dear Mitchy?" Mrs. Brook quite tenderly asked. "Why, when I ask you about your other child you're off like a frightened fawn.
Old Van in fact if you really want a candid opinion," and Mitchy shone still brighter as he talked, "is formed for a distinctly higher sphere. I should go so far as to say that on our level he's positively wasted." "And are you very sure you're not?" Mr. Longdon asked with a smile. "Dear no I'm in my element. My element's to grovel before Van.
Donner's face presented, as she now crossed the room, something that resembled the ravage of a death-struggle between its artificial and its natural elegance. "Well," Mitchy said with decision as he caught it "I back Nanda." And while a whiff of derision reached him from the Duchess, "Nothing HAS happened!" he murmured.
Longdon thought a moment. "Really, my child, you're most acute." "Oh I haven't watched life for nothing! Mitchy doesn't care," she repeated. Her companion seemed divided between a desire to draw and a certain fear to encourage her. "Doesn't care for what?" She considered an instant, all coherently, and it might have added to Mr. Longdon's impression of her depth. "Well, for himself.
