'Of course I washed my hands, you too suggestive pig. But I should-hope that in a general way my hands are cleaner than cook's. It is only schoolboys who luxuriate in dirt. 'You'll come, Ranie? pleaded Bess. 'If you really wish it. 'I do, or I shouldn't be here. But I hope you wish it too. You ought to be longing to get out of doors on such a lovely morning.
Rylance strolled by himself for a little while, sniffed at the great ivory cup of a magnolia, gazed dreamily at the river shining yonder across intervening gardens and meadows and ultimately found his daughter. 'I am sorry to find you are not to be honoured with a prize, Ranie, he said, smiling at her gently. In no relation of life had he been so nearly perfect as in his conduct as a father.
'But really now, Bessie, don't you think it is time you should leave off playing with boys, and begin wearing gloves? sneered Urania. 'I did wear gloves at Bournemouth, religiously mousquetaires, up to my elbows; never went out without them. No, Ranie, I am never dull at old Kingthorpe; and then there is always a hope of Bournemouth. 'Bournemouth is worse than this! exclaimed Urania.
'An open-air luncheon on such a day as this is positively inspiring, and to a man who has breakfasted at seven o'clock on a cup of tea and a morsel of dry toast thanks, yes, I prefer the wing if no one else, will have it such an unceremonious meal is doubly welcome. I'm so glad I found you. Lucky, wasn't it, Ranie?
'Don't say good-bye, Ranie, said Bessie, when Miss Rylance had alighted, and was making her adieux at the carriage door; 'you'll come over to dinner, won't you, dear? Your father won't be down till Saturday. You'll be dreadfully dull at home. 'Thanks, dear, no; I'd rather spend my first evening at home. I'm never dull, answered Urania, with her air of superiority.
'We are going to the Abbey for a nice long day, taking our dinner with us, and coming round to Aunt Betsy's to tea on our way home, said Bessie, as if she were proposing an entirely novel excursion; 'and we want you to come with us, Ranie. Miss Rylance stifled a yawn.
'I am glad you admire her so much, papa, she said, outwardly calm and sweet, but inwardly consumed with anger; 'for it will be so pleasant for you to see more of her at Kingthorpe. 'Yes, he said heartily, 'I am glad she is coming to Kingthorpe. That was a good idea of yours, Bessie. 'Wasn't it? I am so pleased to find you like her. I wish you could get Ranie to think better of her.
