It had been Luke who received the armful of flowers sent anonymously. "The firm gave me the wonderful desk set; you saw it before it was sent to be monogrammed." "Yes, but I mean Mr. O'Valley himself." Luke was quite manly and threatening as he strode along. "Something for a keepsake because you've worked so hard for him." They paused at a corner to wait for the traffic to abate.
And sometimes, as in the case of Steve O'Valley, it is his own wife instead of a blonde soul mate who lures him to destruction in six installments. When Beatrice first knew of Gaylord's return she was inclined to pay no attention to his wife, despite her remarks to Steve. Then Gaylord telephoned, and she had him up for afternoon tea, during which he told her all about it.
If I never did an honest day's work for Steve O'Valley I worked like a steam engine learning how to be a real lady, the sort Gay tried to marry but couldn't!" "As if you weren't a little lady at all times," Mrs. Faithful added. "Of course we are stony broke but Gay's brother-in-law just had to loan us some money in order to have us go. They gave us fifty dollars for a wedding present.
They decided, too, that Mary Faithful was clever and good but queer. That Steve O'Valley would discover that a self-made man could not marry an heiress and make a go of it as well as a man of an aristocratic family could marry an adorable red-haired young lady and elevate her to his position.
To be that almost mystical relation, a wife; which includes far more than having Mrs. Stephen O'Valley just for example on a calling card. To her lot would fall the task of always being there to welcome the strong man with tender joy when he has succeeded or to comfort him with equal tenderness when he has failed, and at all times spurring him to live up to the ideal his wife has set for him.
In a few years you will find Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Vondeplosshe in Hanover society with capital letters, hobnobbing with Beatrice O'Valley and her set and somehow managing to exist in elegance. Don't ask how they will do it but they will. However, they would never consider starting from our house. That would be getting off on a sprained ankle." Mrs. Faithful gulped the rest of her coffee.
In his case, as with Steve O'Valley, it chanced to be Beatrice. Regarding her both men merciless with their associates and dubbed as fish-blooded coroners by their enemies were like gullible children following a lovely and willful Pied Piperess. But Mark's sister with her vanities and fibs irritated and amused him by turns.
All she has is a good time, and what's the use of living if you don't have a good time? I'll have it if I have to steal it. Oh, you needn't look so horrified. Steve O'Valley almost stole his fortune just because he had to be a rich man before Constantine would let him marry his daughter.
She found Luke wild-eyed and excited, brandishing an evening paper. "Look what's happened the O'Valley Leather Company has gone under! Won't Constantine help him out? I always said you were the mascot " "I'd rather not talk about it." "Why? I always tell you everything." Mary smiled. Luke was so boyish and square.
You remember how mother felt about the old house." Somehow the thing was harder to discuss with Luke as a questioner than with any one else. "I guess they'll miss you a lot." "Everyone's place can be filled, we must never forget that. And I think the change is wise. The new firm seems agreeable." "Did Mr. O'Valley give you anything?" Mary flushed.
