This further levity it was therefore that laid him fully open. "Do you mean to say you've been living with Petherton so long without becoming aware that he's shockingly worried?" "My dear Duchess," Mitchy smiled, "Petherton carries his worries with a bravery!
Here I am for you therefore as natural as a cold in your head. I just ask you I even press you. It's because, as she said, you've practically ceased coming. Of course I know everything changes. It's the law what is it? 'the great law' of something or other. All sorts of things happen things come to an end. She has more or less by his marriage lost Mitchy. I don't want her to lose everything.
Brook thought. "I don't think I want to see him at all." "Then your keeping him below ?" "Is so that he shan't burst in till I know. It's YOU, my dear, I want to see." Mitchy glared about. "Well, don't take it ill if, in return for that, I say I myself want to see every one. I could have done even just now with a little more of Edward." Mrs.
Brook couldn't leave it there. "Then what do you get instead?" "Instead of Mitchy? Oh," said Nanda, "I shall never marry." Mrs. Brook at this turned away, moving over to the window with quickened weariness.
"Well, I hope you won't think me very vulgar," said Mrs. Brook, "if I tell you that I want you still more to have some idea of what you'll get by it. I've no wish," she added, "to keep on boring you with Mitchy " "Don't, don't!" Nanda pleaded. Her mother stopped as short as if there had been something in her tone to set the limit the more utterly for being unstudied. Yet poor Mrs.
Longdon, "he would tell you a good deal more than you'll care to know. She IS in a boat but she's an experienced mariner. Basta, as she would say. Do you know Mitchy?" Mrs. Brook suddenly asked. "Oh yes, he knows Mitchy" Vanderbank had approached again. "Then make HIM tell him" she put it before the young man as a charming turn for them all. "Mitchy CAN be refined when he tries."
Nobody has dreamed of it it would have been such a rough false note, a note of violence out of all keeping. Did YOU ever hear of one, Van? Did you, my poor Mitchy? But you see for yourselves," she wound up with a sigh and before either could answer, "how inferior we've become when we have even in our defence to assert such things."
Then as Nanda answered nothing he went on: "Was your grandmother ever?" "Never," the girl promptly said. "Never," she repeated in a tone quite different. After which she added: "I'm the only one." "Oh, and I 'me and you, as they say," her companion amended. "Yes, and Mr. Mitchy, who's to come down please don't forget this afternoon." Vanderbank had another of his contemplative pauses.
"Oh," Mitchy concurred, "trust him always for that!" "He wrote me, on my note," Nanda pursued, "a tremendously good answer." Mitchy was struck afresh. "Your note? What note?" "To ask him to come. I wrote at the beginning of the week." "Oh I see" Mitchy observed as if this were rather different. "He couldn't then of course have done less than come." Yet his companion again thought. "I don't know."
"Well, SHE told you, and her talking about it is the unpleasant idea. He can't get her down anyhow." "Poor Mrs. Brook!" Mitchy meditated. "Poor Mrs. Brook!" his companion echoed. "But I thought you said," he went on, "that he doesn't mind." "YOUR knowing? Well, I dare say he doesn't. But he doesn't want a lot of gossip and chatter." "Oh!" said Mitchy with meekness.
