"It is the greatest reversal of figures in political history," Dartrey declared. "Listen, Tallente. I was quite prepared to go the Session, as you know, but Horlock's had enough. He is asking for a vote of confidence on Tuesday. He'll lose by at least sixty votes." "And then?" "We can't put it off any longer. We shall have to take office.
"Every one to his tastes," Lady Alice observed, as she turned away with a friendly little nod. "I have just an idea, however, that this morning's excursion was a little too much even for Jane." "What do you mean?" Tallente asked eagerly. Lady Alice looked at him over the top of her fan. She was a woman of instinct. "I had a telegram from her just before I came out," she said.
Robert, a little out of breath, was standing at attention. There was a disturbed look in his face, a tremor in his voice. "I beg your pardon, sir," he repeated, "there is some one here to see you." "Some one?" Tallente repeated impatiently. Robert leaned a little forward. The effort at lowering his voice only made his hoarse whisper sound more agitated.
You'll be back again with us before long, of course, but for the present you must be content to take a rest. We can make use of you on the platform and there are always the reviews." "I see," Tallente murmured. "The fact is," his host concluded, as his fingers strayed towards the dismissal bell, "you made rather a mistake, Tallente, years ago, in dabbling at all with the Labour Party.
You know my sister, I think Lady Alice Mountgarron? Aunt, may I present Mr. Tallente the Countess of Somerham. Mrs. Ward Levitte Lady English oh! and Colonel Fosbrook." Tallente made the best of a very disappointing situation.
His friend pressed his arm kindly. "You've ploughed a lonely furrow for a good many years, Tallente," he said. "Nora talks of you so often and so wistfully. She is such an understanding creature. No, don't go. Just one whisky and soda. It used to be chocolate, but Nora insists upon making a man of me."
At first, I must admit that I was glad. I felt that you created, as it were, a link between my Government and a very troublesome Opposition. To-day things have altered. Labour has shown its hand and it demands what no sane man could give. We've finished with compromise. We have to fight Socialism or go under." Tallente nodded.
Tallente, although they are honorary members, are, I am sure, welcome guests, and whatever either of them wishes to say to us will, I am sure, be listened to. There is no business. All that we have to do is to vote, to choose our leader for the next twelve months. There are two names put forward Saunderson and Miller. It is my business only to count the votes you may record.
"Remember, I am an old hand at mountain climbing, Robert. All the same, if anything should happen, you'd better say that we fancied we heard a cry from down below and I went to see what it was. You understand?" "Yes, sir!" Tallente took a step into what seemed to be Eternity.
You sneer at the Democratic Party, but they have a perfectly sound scheme of financial reform and they undertake to bring the income tax down to two shillings in the pound within the next three years." "They'll ruin half the merchants and the manufacturers in the country if they attempt it." "How can they ruin them?" Tallente replied.
