He could have taken her; and he had let her go back to Paris and the excellent Trevelyan. Hermia, his mad vagabond Hermia, was ready to tie herself for life to that automatic nonentity at Westport who trailed, a patient shadow in Hermia's swirling wake. Hermia and Morehouse! He simply wouldn't believe it.
"She did that all right," broke in Kitty. "It seemed feasible," he continued, "and while she said it would be costly that did not matter," turning to the group. "Why, I feel only the brave fight of this child has saved him for us. And I am not sure what course I shall pursue in dealing with Hannah Morehouse."
Again Nick wished to wave the name of Morehouse like a white flag of truce, but the San Franciscan lawyer, lying far away in a New York hospital, seemed too weak to flutter in the breeze of Mrs. May's displeasure. "I'd rather have jogged along without tellin' you this," he said. "But as things worked out, it seemed as if I had to speak." Angela was silent, busily thinking for a moment.
Olga Tcherny paused only long enough to catch a deep breath after her momentous interview with John Markham in Washington Square and then plunged into the busy throng with De Folligny after. She had heard with some interest the reports of Hermia Challoner's engagement to Mr. Morehouse, but it had made no very deep impression upon her mind.
And if you're strong enough, the best thing will be to start for San Francisco to-night. When you're there, see Mr. Morehouse, and let him take good care of you. For it's true, as you said; you and I can't go on being friends." Angela opened her lips to answer him, but could not. He started the car once more, and drove on faster.
Now, there's your story. It explains the whole thing, and my apologies go with it. What are you going to do?" Jesse Hogarty had been listening without moving a muscle without once taking his two brilliant eyes from Morehouse's warm face even when Morehouse refused to look back at him as he talked.
And, "You don't mean," he faltered, "Flash, you don't mean that you think that boy can stop " Hogarty's thin voice bit in and cut him short. "Think?" he demanded. "Think? I don't have to think any more! I know!" For a second he seemed to be pondering something; then he threw up his head again. And his startlingly sudden burst of laughter made Morehouse wince a little.
"I've never been so entertained and delighted since since hundreds of years ago," she sighed. "You were mad quite mad, both of you. And Hermia " she stopped, sat quickly upright, and while he watched her, laughed deliberately. "Hermia comes back to New York and engages herself to to Trevelyan Morehouse! The excellent Trevelyan after Arcadia! And you?"
"You were not in Normandy last summer that is positive." He smiled. "I am in your hands," he said. "Where were you?" "In Holland, if you like. I've tramped there." "And Hermia?" "In Switzerland. She went there after leaving me. There was a party. Morehouse was with her. It's easily proved." "Good. We must lose that week somewhere. It must be wiped from the calendar.
The lights of the ball-room, fortunately lowered, had hidden the pallor of Hermia's face but she realized, when they suddenly blazed, that Trevvy Morehouse was looking at her curiously, that her fingers were ice-cold and that, when she spoke a word or two in reply to his anxious query, her voice was strangely unfamiliar. As the applause ceased, there was a general movement toward the supper-room.
