Trevor, don't you think you could induce him to sing one? as you were at school with him, and are a sort of son of the house?" At this Jock glowered with eyes that were alarming to see under the deep cover of his eyebrows, and MTutor laughed out.
After working his brain all the half, as he does, and taking the interest he does in everything, he has got to pay attention, you know, and not to overdo it; he must have change, and he must have rest." Lucy was much impressed by this, as she was by all she heard of MTutor. She was quite satisfied that such immense intellectual exertions as his did indeed merit compensation.
"I don't know," said Jock, in a voice that sounded gruff, "I can't tell who she is I never asked. It did not seem any business of mine." "Old fellow," said MTutor, "don't cultivate those bearish ways. Some men do, but it's not good form. I don't like to see it in you." This silenced Jock, and made his face flame in the darkness. He did not know what excuse to make.
"Lucy," he said, "are you not going to tell me anything? I know you have got the letter, but you won't look at me, or speak a word." "Oh, Jock, how silly! why shouldn't I look at you? but I have so many things to do, and baby I am sure I heard baby cry." "He is no more crying than I am. I saw him, and he was as jolly as possible. I want awfully to know about the Churchills, and what MTutor says."
Jock had it on his lips to say something derogatory of the books from Mudie's; but he checked himself, for he remembered to have seen MTutor with one of those frivolous volumes, and he refrained from snubbing Lucy. "I believe she can't read," he said. "She can do nothing but laugh at one.
This was a very handsome way of speaking of it; but that MTutor was disappointed there could be no doubt. To Jock himself it gave a keen momentary pang to see his own name only third in that beadroll of honour; but so it was. The holidays had all that to answer for; the holidays, or rather what they were to bring.
It had never occurred to her before, through all those long drawn out consultations, that she was concealing anything from Sir Tom. She dropped Jock's arm as if it hurt her, and turned to her husband in the twinkling of an eye. "Jock," she said quickly, "and I were talking about MTutor, Tom."
You ought to be too young to have any feeling on the subject; but it is a humiliating thought." "Bice will have nothing to say to him," said Jock, with straightforward application of the abstract description; but MTutor shook his head. "How can we tell the persecutions to which Woman is subject?" he said. "You and I, Jock, are in a very different position.
She likes melodrama best, disguises and trap-doors and long-lost sons, and all the rest of it." "It is a taste that is very general," said MTutor, indulgently; "but I am sure Lady Randolph appreciates the efforts of a conscientious interpreter one who calls all the resources of art to his aid " "I don't care for the play alone," said Bice to Jock in an undertone. "I want to see the people.
MTutor was a subject which was endless with Jock, so that the original topic here glided out of sight as the exalted gifts of that model of all the virtues became the theme. This conversation, however, was but one of many. It was their meeting ground, the matter upon which they found each other as of old, two beings separated from the world, which wondered at and did not understand them.
