And I tell you I married you because I loved you and Lady Saxonby and all the rest can go to Jericho!"
"Eva was right," she said, and her voice was low. "She said I was out of place here, and so I am." "Mrs. Herrick said that?" Owen's anger suddenly swung round. "Then it was a damned silly thing to say, and I'm surprised you listened to it." "But she was right. She said everyone wondered why you married me; and now that I have seen Lady Saxonby, I wonder too." Owen's heart sank.
Rose reproaching the girl and threatening to kill Lord Saxonby, and making all sorts of wild threats. My daughter's friend had a maid who had been with Lady Saxonby, and she told her all this." "Ah, then of course it's true." Mrs. Madgwick, having a mind which delighted in gossip, did not quarrel with the source of information. "But I don't yet see why Mr. Rose married this girl.
But but where was I? I think your gipsying down from London was most exciting. Now do tell us all about it, Mr. Wrenn. First, I want you to meet Miss Saxonby and Mr. Gutch and dear Yilyena Dourschetsky and Mr. Howard Bancock Binch of course you know his poetry." And then she drew a breath and flopped back into the wing-chair's muffling depths. During all this Mr.
The fact is, I ... I think I can't have understood rightly what you were trying to tell me. You said something just now about Miss Rees being married to Lord Saxonby. Well, what, exactly, did you mean?" The very quietness with which he spoke made it still more difficult for Barry to answer him. "I meant just what I said." He fidgeted nervously with a cigarette as he spoke.
Owen, vexed to the soul by the thought of this miserable publicity, set his teeth hard and said nothing; and Toni hurried on. "Well, then there was a scene. Lady Saxonby turned on Eva quite furiously, and said she had no right to talk of anyone being ashamed of anything, seeing that everyone knew what she had done.
She was awfully cross, and said I ought not to have brought Mrs. Herrick, and that Lady Saxonby would be sure to talk, and the Club would be ruined." "So you came away?" "Yes.
It is with great regret that I suggest this course; but after the scene which took place this afternoon, in the presence of a dozen members and several visitors, among them Lady Saxonby, a former friend of your own, I speak for the Committee when I request you to advise your wife to resign for the present season at least."
Wrenn, much pleased with himself, smiled au prince upon his new friends. Mrs. Stettinius was getting into her stride for a few remarks upon the poetry of industrialism when Mr. Gutch, who had been "Uh "ing for some moments, trying to get in his remark, winked with sly rudeness at Miss Saxonby and observed: "I fancy romance isn't quite dead yet, y' know.
"Miss Rees was married quietly to Lord Saxonby this morning." "Lord Saxonby? You mean that chap who hung round her before I went away?" Owen's voice was studiously self-controlled, but his hand shook as he played with a silver pencil-case on the table before him. "Yes. That's the man." "I see."
