I could have painted pictures like Lightmark if I had cared, you know, but I did not care!" "And yet he has great facility," said Rainham tentatively. "He has more," said Oswyn bitterly, "or, at least, he had genius. And he has deliberately chosen to go the wrong way, to be conventional. He can't plead 'invincible ignorance' like the others; he ought to know better.
The room was so dark that I imagined you had gone to bed. I came to warm myself before turning in." Rainham shifted his chair a little, and watched the other as he extended his thin, nervous hands to the glow. "Don't apologize," he said; "I haven't so many visitors that I can afford to miss the best of them. Besides, I was only half asleep, or half awake, as you like to look at it."
Rainham, who had from his boyhood found England somewhat a prison-house, adored her for this trait. The quaint old woman, indeed, with her smooth, well-bred voice, her elaborate complexion, her little, dignified incongruities, had always been the greatest solace to him.
He is a rank Parliament scoundrel and worships Mr. Pym." "Is it so?" cried Brilliana. "A rebel, a renegade. Why, now, Master Rainham, I see a pretty piece of loyal work for you." Master Peter glowered at her suspiciously. "Anything for you, anything for the King; except give what I have none of money."
In its place abode henceforth the image of this stately maiden, comely and desirable, with the profound eyes which lighted up for Dick. An unaccountable sense of failure stole over Rainham unaccountable because he could lay his finger upon no tangible cause of his discomfiture.
"And you took me on trust, when, for all you know, the police might have been after me," said Tommy. "Well, we won't forget; not that I suppose Bob and I will ever be able to pay you back." "Good gracious, we don't want paying back!" exclaimed Norah, wrinkling her nose disgustedly. "Don't talk such utter nonsense, Tommy Rainham.
His last letter a long time ago; he is becoming a bad correspondent struck me as rather triste, even for him. I'm afraid he is not well." "Yes," said Eve slowly; "we went over to Bordighera one day while we were at Cannes, and we stayed a night at the hotel, but we didn't see Mr. Rainham. He had gone over to Monte Carlo." "Ah, poor fellow, what an idea! I wonder what dragged him there."
"If it's the Riviera, or or dry docks," added Rainham modestly. But Lightmark stepped forward hastily, after a moment's hesitation, and put his hand on the drawing just as Eve was preparing with due ceremony to unveil it. "Excuse me, I don't want to show it to Rainham yet. I I want to astonish him, you know."
"Precisely," said Rainham; "that is what Mrs. Engel would say. Oh no, Mrs. Dollond, we don't drive over to Monte Carlo from Bordighera. At Mentone it is more regular; you see, you can get there from Mentone pretty much by accident. But from Bordighera it has too much the appearance of being a preconcerted thing."
Yes, I know I shouldn't say awful, and that no lady says it that must be true because Mrs. Rainham frequently tells me so but it's such a relief to say whatever I feel like." "You can say what you jolly well please," said Bob wrathfully. "Who's she, I'd like to know, to tell us what to say?
