As Malcourt waded past, he and Miss Suydam exchanged a pleasantly formal greeting; and, for the second time, something in her casual gaze the steadiness of her pretty green-tinted eyes, perhaps perhaps their singular colour interested him. "You did not ask me to your luncheon," he said gaily, as he passed her through the foam. "No, only petticoats, Mr. Malcourt.
"I've taken a notion to give her a chance and I'm going to do it." Portlaw spread out his first row of cards. "You know what everybody will think, I suppose." Malcourt yawned. Presently Portlaw began in a babyish-irritated voice: "I've buried the deuce and trey of diamonds, and blocked myself " "Oh, shut up!" said Malcourt, who was hastily scribbling a letter to Virginia Suydam.
When he rose he found that all except himself had gone forth for one purpose or another, but it suited his own plan well, as he could now take the letter of Colonel William Johnson to his friend, Master Nicholas Suydam, in Paulus Hook.
Doctor Suydam settled deeper into his chair. "Marry the girl." "That is the only piece of your professional advice I ever cared to follow. But how?" "Any way you can use force if necessary only marry her. Otherwise I predict all sorts of complications for you melancholia, brain-fag, bankruptcy " Austin laughed. "Could you write me a prescription?" "Oh, she'll have you, Bob.
Even if the girl understood the sweet, simple nature of this man, even if she felt her own affections answer to his, Suydam believed he knew the women of her set too well to imagine that she could bring herself to marry a blind man, particularly one of no address. "We leave for the mountains to-morrow," Marmion said, "so I came to say good-by, for a time."
"It's rather stupid that I never suspected it," she said, musing aloud. "Suspected what?" "The existence of this other woman called Virginia Suydam. And I might have been mercifully ignorant of her until I died, if you had not looked at me and seen us both at once." "We all are that way." "Not all women, Louis. Have you found them so? You need not answer.
You know I can scarcely realise it I've been with you only a month, and yet you've done so much for me received me so simply, so cordially that the friendship seems to be of years instead of hours." "That is the trouble," sighed Cecile; "you and I never had a chance to be frivolous; I'm no more self-conscious with you than I am with Gray. Tell me, why was Virginia Suydam so horrid to us at first?"
Want of space must for the present prevent any description of the fine works exhibited; suffice it to say that the Committee Whittredge, McEntee, Thompson, as well as Gifford, Eastman Johnson, Bierstadt, Beard, the Weirs, Hazeltine, William Hart, Dana, Leutze, Gignoux, Shattuck, Brown, Suydam, etc., were all worthily represented. New York has reason to be proud of her artists.
"Do you know," said Shiela Cardross slowly, "that Miss Palliser has been exceedingly nice to me? But her friend, Miss Suydam, is not very civil." "I'm awfully sorry," he said. "I could tell you that it mattered nothing," she said, looking straight at him; "and that would be an untruth. I know that many people disregard such things many are indifferent to the opinion of others, or say they are.
"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.
