I addressed one to the rooms of the Elizabethan Society, one to 175 Trinity College, which was, I recollected, the alternative address of the Anti-Tommy Rot Gazette, and one to Trinity Hall, where Lalage resided. In this way I hoped to make sure of catching her. I invited her, Hilda, and Selby-Harrison to take tea with me at five o'clock in my hotel. I supposed that by that time the Jun. Soph.
I waited for him all day but he did not visit me. Toward evening I came to the conclusion that he must have found himself obliged to go up to Dublin in pursuit of Selby-Harrison, junior. I spent a pleasant hour or two in picturing to myself the interview between them. Titherington had spoken of using violent means of persuasion, of dragging the surname of Hilda out of the young man.
"P.S. I hope you got your 8 per cent, all right. I told Selby-Harrison to send it. We were all three stony at the time and had to borrow it from another girl who is going in for logic honours, but she's quite rich, so it doesn't matter. Hilda didn't want to, and said she'd give her two gold safety pins, which she got last Christmas, if Selby-Harrison would pawn them for her.
She told me that she and Hilda, whoever Hilda is, are sure to be all right, because the Puffin is always a lamb I suppose the Puffin is some name they have for the magistrate but that a Miss Harrison would probably be stuck." "She can't have said Miss Harrison." "No. She said Selly, or Selby-Harrison, short for Selina I thought."
"We don't. When we got your first 'gram in the Elizabethan we looked at the clock and saw that we had heaps of time. When your second came Selby-Harrison sent it over from number 175 we began to think that Hilda's watch might be right after all and that the college clock had stopped. We went back ventre
"Very," I said, "Selby-Harrison did it, I suppose?" "Of course," said Lalage. " The Speakers are to deliver for the said election agent . . . speeches before the tenth of March." "I told Tithers to fill in the number of speeches he wanted," said Lalage, "but he seems to have forgotten."
He might, so I liked to think, chase Selby-Harrison round the College Park with a drawn sword in his hand. Then there would be complications. The Provost and senior fellows, not understanding Titherington's desperate plight, would resent his show of violence, which would strike them as unseemly in their academic groves.
"Has Selby-Harrison," I asked, "been publishing a book?" "No," said Lalage, "but his father has." "Ah," I said, "that accounts for this agreement form." "Quite so," said Lalage, "he copied it from that, making the necessary changes. Rather piffle, I call that part about enjoying the speeches in the British Empire. It isn't likely that Tithers would want to enjoy them anywhere else.
"May I ask if Selby-Harrison ?" "It was his suggestion," said Hilda. "Neither Lalage nor I are any good at sums, specially decimals." "And," said Lalage, "you'll get a copy of each number post free just the same as if you were a regular subscriber!" "We've got one advertiser already," said Hilda. "And," said Lalage, "advertisments pay the whole cost of newspapers nowadays.
Why, that was the very first thing Hilda found out in the guide book." "I didn't," said Hilda. "It was you." "Let's credit Selby-Harrison with the discovery," I said soothingly. "I remember now about those kings. But the exhibition has been closed to the public now for some years. We shan't be able to get in."
