Chichester shake with laughter. "He'll find it a slight difference after Lady Rylton's waltzing," says she to Marryatt. "He'll find a difference in every way. Lady Selton is devoted to her husband " "And Lady Rylton " "Well!" He hesitates. "How vague! But I know, I know! By-the-bye," with a swift change of tone that quite deceives him, "which do you admire most?" "Oh, Lady Rylton, of course.
"You have promised to be kind to me!" says she, her voice trembling. For the first time the solemnity of this marriage arrangement of hers seems to have dawned upon her. "I have," says Rylton earnestly. "I am often very troublesome," says the poor child. "Uncle George says so. But you " She hesitates, looking at him always. Her gaze is intense.
"I suppose it is all nonsense all my own folly; but I am so fond of Tita, that I felt terrified when I saw Mrs. Bethune look so unkindly at her on the balcony." "You are sure you were not dreaming?" says Rylton, making an effort, and growing careless once again in his manner. Minnie Hescott smiles too. "I never dream," says she.
Poor little girl, and what a shame too! She doesn't even like me! We shouldn't be taking her name in vain like this. By-the-bye, what queer eyes she has! have you noticed?" "She has two hundred thousand pounds," says Lady Rylton solemnly. "That is of far greater consequence. You know how it is with us, Maurice. We can hold on very little longer.
"If you are going to the gardens," says Rylton, with Heaven knows what intention perhaps a desire to show her how little he cares for her childish anger, perhaps to bring matters to their worst to know what she means "may I come with you?" Tita gives him a glance the fleetest; a smile the briefest. "No, thank you," says she, a faint emphasis upon the "No" being the only change in her even tone.
"Nothing much," says Mrs. Chichester mischievously. "Except that Lady Rylton says your head is so big that she has sent to the housekeeper for a young sheet to tie it up in." Hescott smiles. He can well afford his smile, his head being wonderfully handsome, not too small, but slender and beautifully formed.
I have studied it quite long enough to understand it. Come, Maurice. The past is the past you have decided that and it is a merely curious mood that leads me to ask you the secret of the great crime that has separated us. My crime, bien entendu!" Rylton turns away from her with an impatient gesture, and goes back to the hearthrug. To persist like this! It is madness!
Margaret has quite assured herself that this little speech of hers will be acceptable to the hidden form behind the screen. She feels, indeed, quite proud of it. Tita had been angry with her that last day when she had told Rylton she looked pale, but now she casts a glance at the screen, and to her horror sees that it shakes perceptibly. There is something angry in the shake of it.
You said that last day there was no love between us that," slowly, "was not true. There is love on one side, at all events. Tita" taking a step towards her "I " She makes a sudden, wild gesture, throwing out her hands as if to ward off something. "Don't!" cries she in a stifled voice. "Don't say it!" "I must! I will!" says Rylton passionately. "I love you!"
I'm glad you acknowledge even so much," breaks in Tita vindictively. "Even though they weren't meant for your ears I'm glad you heard them," says Rylton, turning to her with all the air of one who isn't going to give in at any price. "But as for you, Margaret, I did not expect this from you.
