But he wouldn't, and I thought it was hardly worth while for the sake of one and fourpence, besides making her mother more furious than ever. We ought not to have had to borrow more than fourpence, for Selby-Harrison had a shilling the night before, but went and spent it on having a Turkish bath. Rather a rotten thing to do, I think, when we owed it.
I signed because I didn't think a girl like that would be likely to say anything which Vittie would regard as a libel. He's a thick-skinned hound." "She once libelled twenty-three bishops, she and Hilda and Selby-Harrison between them." "After all," said Titherington, "you can say pretty near anything you like at an election. Nobody minds. I think we're pretty safe.
'A bishop is to be the husband of one wife. I looked it out myself to make sure that Selby-Harrison had made no mistake." The text certainly seemed uncompromising. I had talked bravely about the original Greek, but I doubted in my own mind whether even it would offer a loophole of escape for the Archdeacon. "It may," I said, desperately, "merely mean that a bishop mayn't have two wives."
Any one who knows anything about the business side of the press knows that. Selby-Harrison met a man the other day who reports football matches and he said so." "Is it cocoa," I asked, "or soap, or hair restorer?" "No. It's a man who wants to buy second-hand feather beds. I can't imagine what he means to do with them when he gets them, but that's his business.
"Did he say that?" "Yes. We were talking to him this morning, Hilda and I and Selby-Harrison, outside the exam hall. We told him we were going down to make speeches for you." "Was it before or after you told him that he said I'd be beaten?" "Before," said Lalage firmly. "Oh, Lalage! How can you? You know "
And Hilda has it upstairs in her trunk." "That's enough," I said. "Anything Selby-Harrison has drawn up I'll sign. Perhaps, Hilda, you'll be good enough I wouldn't trouble you if I knew where to find it myself." "Get it, Hilda," said Lalage. Hilda struggled out of her beehive and immediately stumbled into a bed of stocks.
But Vittie is to be your chief prey. I wonder Mr. Titherington didn't insist on inserting a clause to that effect in the agreement." "Tither's hated signing it. I was obliged to keep prodding him on or he wouldn't have done it. Selby-Harrison said that either you or he must, so of course it had to be him. We couldn't go for you in any way because we'd promised to respect your scruples."
Debtor and Creditor Account To 8 per cent, due on one third of £80, being amount of guarantee for one month as per agreement signed August 9th, ult., equals 1s. 4d. Examined and found correct J. Selby-Harrison. Please acknowledge receipt.
In the event of your deciding, as I strongly urge you to do, to withdraw your financial guarantee, these unscrupulous persons, seeing no prospect of further profit, will no doubt cease to lead Lalage astray." The idea in the Archdeacon's mind evidently was that Selby-Harrison and Hilda had exploited Lalage, and obtained the money for unhallowed revellings, from me.
