Willoughby had become sincere at last. * Vol. XXIII No.1 JULY 1910 By WALTER PRICHARD EATON Author of "The American Stage of To-day," etc. Given nearly three hundred square feet of blank wall space, and it takes something of an artist to fill it up with interesting paint. Probably you would not pick a miniature painter for the task.
"Is that what the letter says?" Adrian spoke, and Gwen, saying "He won't believe my report, you see! You read it!" threw the letter over to Irene, who read it aloud to her brother, while Gwen looked at the other letter, from Widow Thrale. What Irene read did not seem so very conclusive. Mrs. Prichard had had a better night, having slept six hours without a break. But the great weakness continued.
"I beg your pardon," exclaimed Prichard. "You needn't wait," said Philip. The coincidence puzzled him; but by the time he had read the morning papers he had forgotten about it, and it was not until he had emerged into the street that it was forcibly recalled. The street was crowded with people; and as Philip stepped in among them, It was as though every one at whom he looked began to talk aloud.
Prichard lost this opportunity of knowing that her son was at large. And even if the paragraph had not been removed, its small type might have kept her old eyes at bay. Indeed, Mrs. Burr's testimony went to show that the old lady's inspection of the paper scarcely amounted to solid perusal.
According to some authorities, the new régime is entirely due to the bicycle. Sapps Court had not been itself since the exciting event of the accident; at least, so said Aunt M'riar, referring to the disappearance of Mrs. Prichard chiefly. For the identity of Sapps depended a good deal on the identity of its inhabitants, and its interests penetrated very little into the great world without.
Yet he did not really better matters by saying: "She's got some teef, she has"; leaving it to be inferred that old Mrs. Prichard had none, which was very nearly true. The old lady did not seem the least hurt.
Then he thought a small trifle of fiction thrown in might contribute to the detachment of this man's curiosity from Mrs. Prichard, and added carelessly: "Some sort of a foringer I take it." Which accounted, too, for his knowing nothing about her. No true Englishman knows anything about that benighted class.
"I asked Neddy Prichard to go down to the baker's and get it for you; but he wouldn't." "Then I say no more, except to hope you're better." "It's my froat," explained Bert, a sturdy, flaxen youngster of ten. "One more point I should like to raise while you are here. Have you noticed that garden chair in the porch?" "Yes, I have, and wondered why 'twas left there." "Wonder no more, Bert.
And then the miracle came. Prichard, the ex-butler who valeted all the young gentlemen in the house where Philip had taken chambers, brought him his breakfast. As he placed the eggs and muffins on the tables to Philip it seemed as though Prichard had said: "I am sorry he is leaving us. The next gentleman who takes these rooms may not be so open-handed. He never locked up his cigars or his whiskey.
She could only think of him as the cruel betrayer of her girlhood, none the less cruel that he had failed in his worst plot against her, and used a legitimate means to cripple her life. She could scarcely have recalled anything Mrs. Prichard had said, for the life of her. She was face to face with the past, yet standing at bay to conceal her identity.
