La Fleur liked people to come and talk to her, provided they were the right sort of people, and came in the right way. Miss Panney's salutation pleased her; she had a respect for people who showed a proper recognition of differences of position. If Miss Panney had been brought into the kitchen by Mrs.
Mike shrewdly believed that it was due to Miss Panney's knowledge of some of Molly's misdeeds, and not to any desire to please the old lady, that the commands of the latter were law to the Irishwoman, but he would not say so. "Kerridge or no kerridge," said he, "they're good 'nough quality for me, and I reckon I knows what quality is.
Now do not condemn this plan until you have had time to consider it. Go back to your Clopsey; I am going to find Mrs. Tolbridge and talk to her." When Dora Bannister had gone away in Miss Panney's phaeton, Miriam walked gravely into the house, followed by her brother. "Now," said she, "I must go to work in earnest." "Work!" exclaimed Ralph.
"Indeed I have," said he, with the air of one who had conquered a continent, and giving Miss Panney's outstretched hand a hearty shake. "Sit down here," said she, "and tell me all about it. I suppose your soul is hungering for congratulations." "Oh yes," he said, laughing; "they are the collateral delights which are next best to the main happiness."
Drane, but perceiving Miss Panney's phaeton at the door, she had concluded that there was company in the house, and had consequently betaken herself to the kitchen to make inquiries. When she found there Miss Panney, instead of Molly Tooney, La Fleur was surprised, but pleased, for she remembered the old lady as one who appreciated good cookery and a good cook.
When Miriam began to like Dora, and this must happen, for in Miss Panney's opinion the Bannister girl was in every way ten times more charming than Cicely Drane, then, cautiously, but with quick vigor, Miss Panney would deliver the blow which would send the Dranes not only from Cobhurst, but back to their old home.
Miss Panney's letter to Dora Bannister contained some mild reproaches for the latter's departure from Thorbury without notice to her oldest friend, but her scolding was not severe, and there was as much pleasant information and inquiry as the writer could think of.
I am sure he would call if he were here, but he is away, and doesn't expect to be back for a week." It crossed Miss Panney's mind that a week's delay in a matter of this sort would not be considered a breach of courtesy, but she did not say so. "It would be friendly if Mrs. Bannister and you were to call on the sister, before long," she remarked.
The old lady was angrier than the ocean, and it was much more than mere wind that made her storm waves roll. Her indignation was directed first against Mrs. Bannister, that silly woman, who, by cutting short her stay at the seashore, had ruined Miss Panney's plans, and also against Ralph, who had not come to Barport as soon as he had received the telegram.
As soon as Miss Panney's eyes fell upon this dish, she understood the situation Mrs. Tolbridge had actually fallen back upon Kipper. Kipper was a caterer in Thorbury, and a good one.
