The sunshine and the open somehow brought relief and the delicate constraint between them relaxed as they sauntered slowly into the house where Shiela presently went away to dress for the Ascott function, and Hamil sat down on the veranda for a while, then retired to undertake the embellishment of his own person.
Then she looked down at Hamil beside her, handing him the cup. "In-nah-cahpoor?" she asked softly; and as he looked up puzzled and smiling: "I asked you, in Seminole, what is the price I have to pay for your cup of water?" "A little love," he said quietly "a very little, Shiela." "I see! like this water, neither warm nor cold: nac-ey-tai? what do you call it? oh, yes, sisterly affection."
"Guy," he said, "don't worry about him. He'll come through all right. He has great qualities in him." "He's good, too too good to me." "Great and good," exclaimed Shiela. "He could love and was lovable. And what's all your greatness to that?" It may be that she who knew him least understood him best. She was crying too.
Classon calls a 'speed-mad cub. Then there is Cecile Cardross a débutante of last winter, and then " Miss Palliser hesitated, crossed one knee over the other, and sat gently swinging her slippered foot and looking at her nephew. "Does that conclude the list of the Cardross family?" he asked. "N-no. There remains the beauty of the family, Shiela."
I don't want anything dead around that lot. When he had sealed and directed his letter he looked around the silent room. Shiela was sewing by the window.
"As for Shiela, I do not even pretend to understand her. I see her every day; to-day I lunched with Mrs. Cardross, and Shiela was there, apparently perfectly well and entirely her former lovely self. Yet she has never yet spoken of you to me; and, I learn from Mrs. Cardross, never to anybody as far as she knows.
"Well, do you know it really is absurd if they only knew how willing I am to like everybody.... I was inclined to like Miss Suydam." Hamil remained silent. The girl added: "One does not absolutely disregard the displeasure of such people." "They didn't some years ago when there were no shops on Fifth Avenue and gentlemen wore side-whiskers," said Hamil, smiling. Shiela Cardross shrugged.
"The unexpected sometimes happens, Shiela particularly when it's expected. There are ways and ways particularly when one is tired too tired to lie awake and listen any longer, or resist.... My father used to say that anybody who could use an anæsthetic was the equal of any graduate physician " "Louis! What do you mean?"
"They all know you are due to-day." "Shiela?" "Yes.... Be careful, Garry; she is very young after all.... I think if I were you I would not even seem conscious that she had been ill that anything had happened to interrupt your friendship.
At last he said: "You are right, Shiela; I am not worth it. Forgive me." She turned, eyes level and fearless. Suddenly her mouth quivered. "Forgive me," she said impulsively; "you are worth more than I dare give you. Love me in your own fashion. I wish it. And I will care for you very faithfully in mine."
