Though she had not been in business long, she already realised what an advantage it is to deal, as regards feminine fripperies, with a man-customer. Also, Radmore, almost in spite of himself, looked opulent. "I think I have the very thing!" she explained. "It's a little on the fantastic side, and so only suits a certain type of face."
Tosswill made one of his rare practical remarks. "I have always thought that every woman ought to be taught cooking," he said musingly. "We have certainly just had a very good dinner; I must remember to tell Betty how much I enjoyed that savoury." "Did Betty cook it all?" asked Radmore. It was Jack who answered, "Yes, of course she did.
There had been a time when Timmy had hoped that he would grow up to look like his godfather, but now he was aware that this hope would never be fulfilled, for Radmore, in this photograph, at any rate, had a strongly-featured, handsome face, very unlike what his mother had once called "Timmy's wizened little phiz."
"That poor, second-rate little woman seems to have told Rosamund as much, and Godfrey Radmore confirmed it." "Yes, I suppose one ought to say that there is no real doubt that he committed suicide." Yet Miss Pendarth's voice seemed to imply that there was some doubt.
Help your sister into the car, Timmy, while I stop behind and pay the bill." The bill did not take a minute to make out, and Radmore was rather surprised to find that the three hats for he bought three cost him not far short of fifteen pounds between them, though the lady observed pleasantly, "Of course I can afford to sell my hats at a much less price than London people charge."
There came the surprised: "Why, it's Mr. Radmore to be sure! How's the world been treating you, sir?" "Better than I deserve, Cobbett." "Can you stay a minute, sir Missus would like to see you, too?" The speaker opened a door out of the tiny shop, and Radmore, followed by Timmy and Flick, walked into a cosy living-room, where an old dog got up and growled at them.
Colonel Crofton's only interest in life was the terriers which he apparently bred with a view to increasing his income." "They can't have been so very poor," said Janet abruptly. "Look at the way she's living now." "I feel sure she's living on capital," said Miss Pendarth slowly, "and I think forgive me for saying so that she hopes to marry Godfrey Radmore.
"D'you remember Godfrey Radmore?" she asked as their hands met. "Come now, you're joking surely. Remember Radmore? I've good cause to; I don't know whether I ever told you " there came a slight, very slight note of embarrassment into his hearty Irish voice "that I wrote to the good fellow just after the Armistice, about our Pat.
She promised herself fiercely that if Radmore did what she was always telling herself secretly he would surely end by doing, then she would make it her business to see that they never, either of them, came back to this horrible place any more. Apart from anything else, Jack Tosswill was already beginning to be more of a complication than was pleasant to one in her weak, excited state.
She had a kindly, shrewd face, and when Radmore said apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but the matter is really urgent, and we've brought a sick animal many miles in order that it may benefit by Mr. Trotman's skill," her face cleared, and she said cordially: "All right, sir, come right in."
