A gleam a tiny gleam of pleasure comes into her eyes, bus she wilfully repulses it. "Oh, you if anybody. However, you knew before you married me, that is one comfort." "Why do you speak to me like that, Tita?" A frown has settled on Rylton's forehead. It is all such abominably bad form. "You know how how " "Ill-bred it is," supplies she quietly, gaily.
"Certainly Lady Rylton's must belie her," says Mrs. Bethune, with a slow smile. "What cause has she for tears?" "Not one!" declares Mrs. Chichester with decision. "It would be 'a sinner above all the Galileans' who would make Lady Rylton cry." Her queer green eyes smile at Tita, who smiles back at her in her little sweet way, and then all at once bursts out laughing.
"You wish me to believe that because Nature has built her in a smaller mould than other women, I should therefore condone her faults." "Such pretty faults," says Margaret. "A little hot temper, a little sauciness, a little petulance what more?" Rylton's lip curls. "If you are such a devotee at her shrine as all that comes to, there is nothing more to be said. Her flirtation with her cousin "
How Maurice smokes a Cigar, and muses on many Things; how he laments his Solitude; and how an unexpected Visitor comes to him How Rylton's evil Genius comes to him and speaks sweet Treacheries within his Ear; and how he renounces her and all her Deeds
It has cowed a good many people in its day, and had, indeed, helped to make her a widow at an early age. Very few people stood up against Lady Rylton's tempers, and those who did never came off quite unscathed. "Absurd! Have I been absurd?" asks Mrs. Bethune. "My dear Tessie" she is Lady Rylton's niece, but Lady Rylton objects to being called aunt "such a sin has seldom been laid to my charge."
Her face is still livid, and as she speaks she throws back her head and laughs aloud such a cruel, hateful laugh! "Well, I know it I lied. I lied then most abominably." "Then?" "That night on the balcony I confess it. I know Minnie Hescott told you." Rylton's mind goes quickly back. "That night," says he slowly, as if thinking, as if concentrating his thoughts, "the night you led me to where "
"Do you think you can hoodwink me any longer? There shall be an end of it do you hear?" Rylton's face, as she now sees it in the light of the lamps in her room, almost frightens her. "I've had enough of it!" "I don't understand you!" says Tita, standing well away from him, her face as white as ashes. As for his face "Don't you?" violently. "Then I shall explain.
"You! you " Lady Rylton advances towards her with a movement that is almost threatening. "Don't be uneasy about it," says Tita, with a scornful little laugh, and a gesture that destroys the meaning of Lady Rylton's. "I don't want to be the mistress here. I dislike the place. I shall be delighted if you will live here instead of me." "You are too good!" says Lady Rylton, in a choking tone.
There is something in them that so satisfies her, that on way back with Minnie she makes herself thoroughly agreeable to that astute damsel. What was there in his eye? rage, hatred, revenge! In truth, Rylton's mind is full of evil thoughts as he strides onward into the recesses of the wood.
It seems to him that she is intensely interesting in some way. "In the meantime," says he, with quite a polite air, "may I not kiss you now?" "No!" says she. It is the lightest monosyllable, but fraught with much energy. She tilts the shoulder nearest to him, and peeps at him over it, with a half-merry little air. She sets Rylton's mind at work.
