As Stonor resumed his walk he raised his head and caught sight of Jean's face. He stopped short directly in front of her. 'You are very tired, he said. 'No, no. She turned again to the window. 'I'm obliged to you for troubling about this, he said, offering Farnborough his hand with the air of civilly dismissing him. 'I'll see what can be done.
'A telephone message, miss. 'For me? said Jean, in surprise. 'Yes, miss. I didn't know you was here, miss. They asked me to write it down, and let you have it as soon as possible. 'I knew how it would be if I gave in about that telephone! Lord John arraigned his wife. Even Mr. Stonor had to sympathize. 'They won't leave people in peace even one day in the week.
The American, you know, he "runs" for Congress. By-and-by we shall all be flying after the thing we want. He smiled at Jean. 'Sh! She glanced over her shoulder and spoke low. 'All sorts of irrelevant people here. One of them, unable any longer to resist the temptation, was making a second foray into the hall. 'How do you do, Mr. Stonor? Farnborough stood there holding out his hand.
'You were expecting Mr. Stonor all the time! exclaimed Aunt Lydia. 'He promised he'd come to luncheon if it was humanly possible. I was afraid to tell you for fear he'd be prevented. Lord John was laughing as he went towards the lobby. 'You felt we couldn't have borne the disappointment! 'I felt I couldn't, said the girl, standing there with a rapt look.
Heriot's far more impressive greeting, innocent of the smallest reminder of the last encounter! It was Lord John who cut these amenities short by chaffing Stonor for being so enterprising all of a sudden. 'Fancy your motoring out of town to see a supporter on Sunday! 'I don't know how we ever covered the ground in the old days, he answered. 'It's no use to stand for your borough any more.
'And speaking from the height of your advantage, although Stonor was slightly satirical, he was exercising an exceptional forbearance, 'do you mean to tell me they are not more in sympathy with the Labour party than with any other? 'If they are, it's not because the Suffragists are all for Socialism.
But because the Labour party is the only one that puts Women's Suffrage in the forefront of its programme. Stonor took his elbow off the mantel. 'Whatever the reason, he said airily, 'the result is momentarily inconvenient. Though I am one of those who think it would be easy to overestimate the importance He broke off with an effect of dismissing both the matter and the man.
Suffragette Programme! The raucous voice followed them, and not the voice alone. Through the air was wafted the cheap and stifling scent of patchouli. Jean Dunbarton received Mr. Geoffrey Stonor upon his entrance into Mrs. Freddy's drawing-room with a charming little air of fluttered responsibility. 'Mrs. Freddy and I have been lunching with the Whyteleafes.
Perhaps the reason why our hearts warm immediately towards Thomas Betson is that our first meeting with him plunges us immediately into a love affair. His first letter to William Stonor is dated April 12, 1476, and informs William that their wool has come in to Calais.
'No 'e ain't, or, if 'e's jolly, it's only because 'e thinks you're such a cod-fish you'll go swellin' 'is majority again. Stonor joined in that laugh. He rather liked the man. 'Yes, it's enough to make any Liberal "jolly" to see a sheep like you lookin' on, proud and 'appy, while you see Liberal leaders desertin' Liberal principles.
