But, even while he was absorbed in figuring them up and he needed the money, as usual Neergard coolly informed him of his election to the club, and Ruthven, thunder-struck, began to perceive the depth of the underground mole tunnels which Neergard had dug to undermine and capture the stronghold which had now surrendered to him. Rage made him ill for a week; but there was nothing to do about it.
But Gerald is in his office, and I want Gerald to do something for me. Please, Rosamund." "Oh, well, if you " "Yes, I do. Here he is now; and don't be impossible and frighten him, Rosamund." The presentation of Neergard was accomplished without disaster to anybody.
"If it doesn't start you heavenward you shall have my advice from a safe distance. I'll telegraph it," said Austin. "But, if it's not personal, why on earth have you shaken Neergard?" And Selwyn answered simply: "I don't like him. That is the reason, Austin."
And Neergard, from his equivocal footing in the house of Ruthven, obtained another no less precarious in the house of Fane all in the beginning on a purely gaming basis.
"You did almost. You were going to, anyway. So that was it, was it? That was when you realised a few things understood one or two things; was it not? . . . And how did you reply? Arrogantly, I suppose." "Yes." "With a some little show of a contempt?" "Yes, I suppose so." "Exactly. And Neergard was put out slightly?" "Yes," said the boy, losing some of his colour.
Fear in his soul had kept him from blazoning his wife's infirmity to the world as cause for an action against her; but he remembered Neergard's impudent cruise with her on the Niobrara, and he had temporarily settled on that as a means to extort revenue, not intending such an action should ever come to trial. And then he learned that Neergard had gone to pieces. That was the second check.
"Oh, I know perfectly well that you dislike Neergard. I don't, and that's the difference." "I'm not speaking of Mr. Neergard, Gerald; I'm only trying to tell you what this man Ruthven really is doing " "What do I care what he is doing!" cried Gerald angrily. "And, anyway, it isn't likely I'd come to you to find out anything about Mrs. Ruthven's second husband!" Selwyn rose, very white and still.
Gerald, proud, enchanted, stood very straight; the older man continued gravely: "I've a little capital to invest not very much. Suppose and this, I need not add, is in confidence between us suppose I suggested to Mr. Neergard " "Oh," cried young Erroll, delighted, "that is fine! Neergard would be glad enough.
It was an unexpected move to Selwyn; he had not been aware of Lansing's contemplated desertion; and that morning, returning from his final interview with Neergard, he was astonished to find his comrade's room bare of furniture, and a hasty and exclamatory note on his own table: "Phil! I've bought a house! Come and see it! You'll find me in it! Carpetless floors and unpapered walls!
Therefore, it puzzled and confused Neergard to be overlooked where the gay world had been summoned with an accompanying blast from the public press; therefore he had gone to Rosamund with the curtest of hints; but he had remained, standing before her, checked, not condescending to irritation, but mentally alert to a new element of resistance which he had not expected a new force, palpable, unlooked for, unclassified as yet in his schedule for his life's itinerary.
