Lord Mohunsleigh said that he would be very pleased, but he couldn't tell at all whether his friend went in for that sort of thing had an idea he didn't, and rather fought shy of society shows, though, of course, Harborough was a gentleman, and all that. "Anyhow, you send him the card, and write him a line saying we should like to meet him," persisted Mrs. Ess Kay.
"You're an earl, you can't say you're not, for I read in The Flashlight only the other day that the Earl of Mohunsleigh had sailed for America, though it couldn't be ascertained on what ship." "Didn't know there was any particular reason why it should be ascertained," said Mohunsleigh.
"Sally dear, do let me introduce my cousin, Lord Mohunsleigh," I said in a great hurry. Potter opened his eyes at the thin little man, and Mrs. and Miss Pitchley looked at him with interest. "Do introduce us all," laughed Mrs. Pitchley, "and then we can sympathise with Lord Lord oh, but I can never learn to pronounce him."
Accordingly, Mohunsleigh slipped the card in its crested envelope into his pocket, and we heard nothing more of it for a while. Then, when I at least had forgotten the conversation, in the wild rush for pleasure in which we lived, he said one day to Mrs. Ess Kay and Sally that his friend would be so much obliged if the invitation might be kept open.
"Miss Woodburn knows; and Mohunsleigh knew. You see, he and I were old pals, so I told him I was in love with his cousin, and was going to try hard to win her, in my own way. You remember Mohunsleigh's friend Harborough. You said the other day you were sorry for him, and you wished him joy of his love affair." "Oh, is that the reason you pretended to be only Jim Brett?" "I am Jim Brett.
I suppose it is difficult to be much excited about a person who has taken riding lessons on your foot. Potter asked Mohunsleigh where he was staying, and when he heard it was at an hotel, he said his sister wouldn't allow that to go on. Lord Mohunsleigh would have to come to The Moorings, that was settled; and his man must be told to pack up his things directly.
Perhaps they looked just as crude as these, at first, though it's hard to imagine it. When we went back, the first thing that Mrs. Ess Kay asked, was: "Well, what about Lord Mohunsleigh?" "He's made up his mind to stop, and send for his things," said I. "You gave him my note? He's coming to us?" "I gave him the note, and he's coming round presently to thank you for being so kind.
With the exception of this one hitch, nothing went wrong so far as the wedding party was concerned, but with me things began to go very wrong several days before Caro and Mohunsleigh were married. There was a fuss of some sort between Sally and Mrs.
She kept her word, and called him "Lord Mohunsleigh" in quite a high voice, just as we passed the man who had refused to let him go onto the beach before; but the man didn't seem impressed in the least. I think he didn't even recognise Mohunsleigh as the same person, or if he did, he pretended very cleverly not to.
She seemed ecstatically happy, more than I could imagine any girl being if she had to marry Mohunsleigh, who, although a dear good fellow when you know him, isn't a bit romantic.
