His mother meanwhile, recovering herself, had begun to ejaculate on the prints in Aggie's arms, and he was then diverted from the sense of what he "personally," as he would have said, couldn't have stood, by a glance at Lord Petherton's trophy, for which he made a prompt grab. "The bone of contention?" Lord Petherton had let it go and Harold remained arrested by the cover.
Van amusedly put it as she held the note. "Oh of depths below depths. But poor Jane of course after all she's human. She's beside herself with one thing and another, but she can't in any consistency show it. She took her stand so on having with Petherton's aid formed Aggie for a femme charmante " "That it's too late to cry out that Petherton's aid can now be dispensed with?
"When you say, dearest, that we don't know what to 'do' with Aggie's cleverness, do you quite allow for the way we bow down before it and worship it? I don't quite see what else we in here can do with it, even though we HAVE gathered that, just over there, Petherton's finding for it a different application. We can only each in our way do our best.
Petherton's not gone, is he?" she asked in her turn of Mitchy. But again before he could speak it was taken up. "Mitchy's silent, Mitchy's altered, Mitchy's queer!" Mrs. Brook proclaimed, while the new recruits to the circle, Tishy and Nanda and Mr.
Brook's more particular benefit, "that Lord Petherton's trying to wrest it." Mrs. Brook's pale interest deepened. "Then it's a real hand-to-hand struggle?" "He says she shan't read it she says she will." "Ah that's because isn't it, Jane?" Mrs. Brook appealed "he so long overlooked and advised her in those matters.
What's a country squire only recently come to England, too! to do with the Fragonard? That is worth something. Well Copplestone, we'd better meet in the morning at Petherton's. You be there at ten o'clock, and I'll get Sir Cresswell Oliver to be there, too." Copplestone betook himself to his rooms in Jermyn Street; it seemed an age several ages since he had last seen the familiar things in them.
"Why," replied Gilling, "we've got warrants out against both Chatfield and the Squire for the murder of Bassett Oliver! the police here have them in hand. Petherton's seen to that. And if they can only be laid hands on What is it?" he asked turning to a sleepy-eyed waiter who, after a gentle tap at the door, put a shock head into the room. "Somebody want me?"
"I see what Petherton's up to, and I won't, by drawing you aside just now, expose your niece to anything that might immediately oblige Mrs. Brook to catch her up and flee with her. But the first time I find you more isolated well," he laughed, though not with the clearest ring, "all I can say is Mind your eyes dear Duchess!" "It's about your thinking, Jane," Mrs.
Copplestone was still wondering what the Squire of Scarhaven could have to do with the Fragonard Club when he went to Mr. Petherton's office the next morning. He was late for the appointment which Gilling had made, and when he arrived Gilling had already reported all that had taken place the day before to the solicitor and to Sir Cresswell Oliver.
His face only offered itself after the fashion of a clean domestic vessel, a receptacle with the peculiar property of constantly serving yet never filling, to Lord Petherton's talkative splash. "Well, only don't let him take it up. Let it be only between you and me," Mr. Mitchett pleaded; "keep him quiet don't let him speak to me."
