Derrick had got hold of Reggie's hand by this time, and was regarding him with a half-smiling interrogation; and Reggie was also smiling with that air of omniscience and supreme acuteness which sat so curiously on his boyish face. "A future wife should have no secrets from her future husband, as you will be the first to admit, dear Lady Gridborough."
Commissions were Reggie's speciality he had begun life as an auto agent. Montague didn't know what that was? An auto agent was a man who was for ever begging his friends to use a certain kind of car, so that he might make a living; and Reggie had made about thirty thousand a year in that way.
Now he was positively bounding along. Furthermore, the usual expression on Reggie's face was a sleepy sadness. Now he smiled brightly and with animation. He curveted towards their table, beaming and erect, his head up, his gaze level, and his chest expanded, for all the world as if he had been reading the hints in "The Personality That Wins." Archie was puzzled.
"There's no tune in that last one; you can't whistle it," said Geoffrey, who exaggerated his Philistinism to throw Reggie's artistic nature into stronger relief. "But what has that got to do with the lady?" "Her name is Smith," said Reggie. "I know it is almost impossible and terribly sad; but her other name is Yaé. Rather wild and savage isn't it?
'Go and look for the young ladies and gentlemen, Duncan; quick, don't lose time, we're late already. 'Tear me, observed Duncan, looking at Harry's and Reggie's somewhat battered faces as they passed; 'so there hass peen a fight between you two young gentlemen, and Mr. Allan hass been helping you.

He didn't want to meet him if he could help it. He said, Couldn't they ask Viola without him? And they had asked Viola without him, and Viola had refused to come. The poor General went away quite depressed. He lingered with me on the doorstep a moment. "I'm afraid, Furnival," he said, "Reggie's going to make it very awkward for us." He did make it awkward.
And we who looked at it were still silent, not now as if we had quarrelled, but as if this beauty had made peace between us. Viola's face had changed. It reminded me in the oddest way of her brother Reggie's.
They won't either of them give in as long as Reggie's got that idea in his head." "We must get it out of his head. Surely," I said, "we can do something." "No, we can't. There's no way of getting it out. It's no good trying to make a joke of it. You can't joke with Reggie past a certain point. And it's not as if you could give him a hint. You can't hint at these things."
In fact, when Reggie's perfection was no longer there to damage him he was rather fine. It was poor little Norah who broke down. I found her crying all by herself on the couch in my study when they'd gone. She said, "Wally, this is awful. It's the most awful thing that could have happened." I said, "Oh, come " and she persisted. "But it is. She adored Reggie.
The child spoke in little rushes and gushes, and her eyes twinkled and looked pathetic by turns in her little dark, round face. 'An hour, Tricksy! It can't have been so long as that! 'Indeed it was, Marjorie, because I have Reggie's watch; he left it with me, and it has been rather tiresome waiting here, when you know I mayn't climb the rocks as you do. 'Poor Tricksy, what a shame!
