'Then that's settled. And now I want to speak to you about Raggett. He paused, and then said seriously, 'I've absolutely decided and very nearly made up my mind to have Raggett to dinner tonight at the Savoy. 'The Savoy?
I had lived out my first rush of passion for Effie, had come to a contemplation of my position. I had gauged Effie's place in the scheme of things, and parted from her for a time. She was back in her place at Raggett Street after a temporary indisposition.
What did he seem to think of the flat? 'He didn't say. He talked about his work. 'What did you think of him? asked Bruce. 'He seemed very vague. He's very good-natured; fancy his sending me all those flowers! 'He sent you flowers? said Bruce slowly. 'Raggett! 'Surely you don't mind? Bruce waited a minute and said, 'We'll talk it over after dinner.
'Why, he thinks he's jealous of his friend Raggett the most impossible, harmless creature in the world; and the funny thing is whenever Bruce is jealous of anyone he keeps on inviting them won't leave them alone. If I go out when Raggett appears, he says it's because I'm so deep; and if I stay he finds fault with everything I do. What do you advise me to do, Hyacinth?
I should never dream of asking them even a riddle, because I'm sure they would give it up at once. 'Did you say you heard one joke recently? What was it? asked Edith. Raggett blushed and looked down. 'I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid I can't tell you, Mrs Ottley. Not that I forget it, but it isn't suited to your well, to your atmosphere' he looked round the room. 'Oh! Can't you arrange it?
They shook hands, she rang the bell, and he rushed out as if he was in a violent hurry, leaving Edith rather bewildered. At dinner that evening Edith said 'Fancy, Bruce, Raggett called today! Bruce dropped his spoon in the soup and looked up. 'Raggett? He do you mean to say he came here? 'Yes. He paid a visit. Why shouldn't he? 'I don't know, but it seems a very odd thing. He never pays visits.
If I thought that Raggett, after all I've done for him 'Oh, Bruce! How can you be so absurd? A poor harmless creature 'Harmless creature, indeed! I think it extremely marked, calling on you when I was out. 'He didn't know you were out. It's the usual time to pay a visit, and he really came just to ask me to belong to the Society. 'I don't call Raggett a society man.
But the other girl's the one, you know. Don't neglect her. He laughed, for he saw the young man was rather flattered at the notion. Evidently, Mrs Raymond was worth knowing. The Peculiarities of Raggett 'Oh, Bruce, said Edith, as she looked up from a Sale Catalogue, 'I do wish you would be an angel and let me have a little cash to go to Naylor and Rope's.
'Oh, why am I so miserable? she sobbed. Raggett's Sense of Humour 'Edith, said Bruce, 'I'm rather worried about Raggett. 'Are you? Why? 'Well, the last time I met him, he came up and asked me if I knew the difference between a sardine and a hedgehog. Of course I said no, thinking it was some riddle, but he only answered, "Then you must be a fool!" Edith smiled. 'Is that all?
'Yes, yes; no doubt this little flat is very comfortable' he looked round the room with marked disdain 'and cook, thanks to you, isn't half bad ... but one can't give dinners here! And after all I've said to Raggett oh, one thing and another I fancy I've given him the impression of a rather luxurious home.
