P.S. J. Selby-Harrison has in all cases preserved notes of the dates, etc., for purposes of verification." The working up of the material thus collected was without doubt done by Lalage. I recognized her style. Hilda probably corrected the proof.
"That's important," said Lalage. "It is," I said, "very. I notice that Selby-Harrison has a note at the bottom of the page to the effect that a penny stamp is required if the amount is over two pounds. He seems rather fond of that. I recollect he had it in the agreement he drew up for me." "It wasn't in the original," said Lalage. "He put it in because we all thought it would be safer."
If there are any peevish or ill-humoured passages in my book they are to be attributed entirely to the influence of that picture, chiefly to the tousled look of the younger daughter. The fact that her father was blind was no excuse for her neglecting to do her hair when she got up in the morning. I have secured, by the help of Selby-Harrison, a publisher for the book.
"Oh, that's all right," said Lalage. "We shall be able to manage the ices. There isn't really much in these cakes." If Selby-Harrison had come there would, I think, have been cakes enough; but there would not have been any to spare. I only ate two myself. When we had finished the ices we gave ourselves to conversation. "That Tithers man," said Lalage, "seems to be a fairly good sort."
"If Miss Pettigrew," I suggested, "will manage Hilda's mother, the thing might possibly be arranged. Selby-Harrison could practise being a missionary." "I shouldn't like Hilda to be eaten," said Miss Pettigrew. "There's no fear of that," I said. "Lalage is well able to protect her from any cannibal." "I'll make the offer," said the Canon.
