She waited until the door was safely closed, then faced her aunt across the bed. "I'm pleased to answer your questions as well as I know how. The Moffatts are the Moffatts! I guess that's about all their family history, so far as I'm concerned. They came over with me, and Mrs Moffatt was real kind looking after me when I first came on deck, and was feeling pretty cheap.
Now that the great anxiety was removed, the former irritation revived. "And pray, who are the Moffatts? I must know something more about them before I can give my consent to this visit!" Cornelia handed a pile of cardboard boxes into Mary's hands. "Take that hat-box downstairs, and pack these on the tray. Don't muss them about! Then you can come back to finish off."
"How did you ever bear the Bruton Street life?" he said, presently, in a low voice of wonder. "Lady Henry knew?" "Oh yes!" "And the Duchess?" "Yes. She is a connection of my mother's." Warkworth's mind went back to the Moffatts. A flush spread slowly over the face of the young officer. It was indeed an extraordinary imbroglio in which he found himself.
If the Moffatts have fixed-up a dinner for themselves, some night, we might go to a theatre together!" "Um yes!" Guest surveyed her with doubtful eyes. "I suppose it would be easy enough to find some other lady to play chaperon." "I don't want a chaperon. Why should I? It's no fun having her poking round, and listening to every word one says. It's ever so much nicer alone."
If he'd asked me alone, I'd have risked it, just to see how they manage their shows over here; but he's too proper to take me without a chaperon, and ... Well, anyway, the Moffatts are right-down good to me, and I'll have no hand in having them snubbed! Miss Briskett will politely refuse, and the party won't have a chance of accepting, for they won't be told anything about it. I hate a fuss."
