Then he was declared a defaulter, and in due process of time his name was struck off the club books, with some serious increase of the ignominy hitherto sustained. During the last fortnight or more Captain Scarborough's name had been subjected to many remarks and to much disgrace. But this non-payment of the money lost at whist was considered to be the turning-point.
Olivia and Pierson naturally had known, but neither had had the courage to tell him. Scarborough was in Pierson's room. He lowered the paper from in front of his face after a few minutes. "I see Pauline has married and gone abroad," he said. "Yes, so I heard from Olivia," replied Pierson, avoiding Scarborough's eyes.
I used to dispute Mr. Scarborough's ideas sometimes, but I learned better." As she realized the implications of her careless remark, their eyes met squarely for the first time since Battle Field. Both hastily glanced away, and neither looked at the other again. When the men came up to the drawing-room to join the women, Gladys adroitly intercepted him.
We do not know that Piers Gaveston, Sir Hugh Cholmley, and other notabilities who have left their mark on the pages of Scarborough's history, might not, were they with us to-day, welcome the pierrot, the switchback, the restaurant, and other means by which pleasure-loving visitors wile away their hardly-earned holidays; but for my part the story of Scarborough's Mayor who was tossed in a blanket is far more entertaining than the songs of nigger minstrels or any of the commercial attempts to amuse.
It's too easy, if one will consent to give money-making his exclusive attention." Mills looked amused had he not known Scarborough's ability, he would have felt derisive. "Money's power," said he. "And there are only two ambitions for a wide-awake man money and power." "Money can't buy the kind of power I'd care for," answered Scarborough.
Tyrrwhit had begun to believe that Mr. Scarborough's dangerous condition had been part of the hoax; that there had been no surgeon's knives, no terrible operations, no moment of almost certain death. "I don't believe he's been ill at all," said Mr. Tyrrwhit. "I cannot help your belief," said Mr. Grey.
What would you do if he were to turn up here? The girl was engaged to him, you know, and has only thrown him off since his own father declared that he was not legitimate. There never was such a mess about anything since London first began." Then Sir Magnus declared that, let Mountjoy Scarborough and his father have misbehaved as they might, Mr. Scarborough's sister must be received at Brussels.
Scarborough's body was one mass of cuts and bruises and faulty places, and that nothing would keep him going except the wearing of machinery which he was unwilling to wear, yet the facilities for much personal enjoyment were left to him, and Sir William declared that, if he would only do exactly as he were told, he might live for the next five years.
And the reason is well, you can imagine." "It doesn't disturb me to think of myself as alone." The strong lines in Scarborough's face were in evidence. "But it would disturb me if I were propped up and weren't sure I could stand alone. I'm afraid to lean on any one or anything my prop might give way.
He ordered his private car attached to the noon express, and at five o'clock he was in Scarborough's library. "What is the meaning of this assessment?" he demanded, as Scarborough entered. "Mr. Ranger explained the situation to us," replied Scarborough. "He showed us we had to choose between ruin and a complete reorganization with big improvements and extensions."
