We were closing on the Little Village, with her three million people spread out at ease inside her ring of girdling Main-Traffic lights those eight fixed beams at Chatham, Tonbridge, Redhill, Dorking, Woking, St. Albans, Chipping Ongar, and Southend. Leopold Vincent's new company looked, with small pale faces, at the silence, the size, and the separated houses.
Harry's eyes noted the words and dwelt on her face. "She can't be happy in that state of affairs either." "Perhaps not," he admitted. "Facts are facts, though." "There are ways ways of preventing that," Southend interposed, murmuring vaguely. "I don't know how you'll feel about it, but we all think you ought to consider other things besides your personal preferences.
"My confounded conceit may help me on in the world, but it doesn't make me a grateful friend or a pleasant companion?" "I believe George Southend agrees as far as the grateful friend part of it is concerned. And I'm told Lord Hove does as to the rest. But then it was only Flora Disney herself who said so." "And what do you say?" "Oh, pride's tolerable in anybody except a lover," she declared.
This dark reference to the Highest Quarters caused Southend to nod thoughtfully: they discussed the probable attitude a theme too exalted to be more than mentioned here. "Anyhow the first thing is to sound Disney," continued Southend. "I'll think about it after I've seen the young man," Lady Evenswood promised. "Have you any reason to suppose he likes his cousin?"
"Every bit," the carpenter said. "She will be just as strong as she was on the day she was turned out." "How long will you be about it?" "I would get her done in three weeks. I will go over to Southend by the twelve o'clock train and order the timber, and you can arrange this evening whether you will have her done by contract or day-work."
"Leaving your wife behind, I suppose?" "Oh, she doesn't mind Mrs Trumbler. But I do." "Well, there's a good deal of cackling up here too. But tell me about the new girl." Lord Southend did not appear to consider his own question "cackling" or as tending to produce the same. "I've only seen her once.
Naturally, both my comrades and I were greatly exercised as to the probable outcome of the danger threatening the peace of the world. We sailed from London on Friday, August 1, 1914, and anchored off Southend all Saturday.
He can't have it; and as things are now she can't enjoy it." "Very perverse, very perverse, certainly," murmured Southend, frowning although he was rather amused too. "With an obvious solution," said Lady Evenswood, "if only we lived in the realms of romance." "I have suggested a magician," put in Southend. "Though he doesn't look much like one," he added with a laugh.
"Look here, Southend, if you're going to do exactly what all my friends and neighbors, beginning with Miss Swinkerton, are doing, I shall go and write letters." With a nod he walked into the next room, leaving Neeld alone with his inquisitive friend. Southend lost no time. "What's happened about Janie Iver? There was some talk " "It's all over," whispered Neeld with needless caution.
What do you mean?" "Oh, tell him what I mean, George," laughed Lady Evenswood, turning to Southend. Mr Disney seemed genuinely resentful at the idea that he might frighten anybody. "Are you a member of the conference too, Southend?" "Well, yes, I I'm interested in the family."
