Ransom could not understand her; he thought it very queer, and wondered what Doctor Prance would have said. "She's just arranging her ideas, and trying to get in report; she'll come out all right." This remark he heard dropped in a low tone by the mesmeric healer; "in report" was apparently Tarrant's version of en rapport.
It seemed implied in the very place, the bald bareness of Tarrant's temporary lair, a wooden cottage, with a rough front yard, a little naked piazza, which seemed rather to expose than to protect, facing upon an unpaved road, in which the footway was overlaid with a strip of planks.
Tarrant would take things. Sometimes she was abjectly indifferent; at others she thought that every one who looked at her wished to insult her. Tarrant's almost cynical equanimity.
Tarrant's; but it had none the less been conveyed to Olive by the voices of the air that he was a gentleman and a good fellow.
But of course I couldn't understand it in this sense. It is a blow. I find it very hard to bear. He rose and went to the window, as if ashamed of the emotion he could not command. Nancy, too much occupied with her own troubles to ask or care whether his distress was genuine, laid Tarrant's letter upon a side-table, and began to draw off her gloves. Then she unbuttoned her jacket.
It was precisely in order that she should not have to do that sort of thing that she had given Selah such considerable sums, on two occasions, at a year's interval. If the Tarrants wanted a change of air they could travel all over the country their present means permitted it; they could go to Saratoga or Newport if they liked. Tarrant's did.
Basil Ransom listened to this considerable statement with a feeling which, as the current of Miss Tarrant's facile utterance flowed on, took the form of an hilarity charmed into stillness by the fear of losing something. There was indeed a sweet comicality in seeing this pretty girl sit there and, in answer to a casual, civil inquiry, drop into oratory as a natural thing.
'You may depend upon it, Mr. Tarrant doesn't think so. 'He calls himself a democrat. 'And talks like one: doesn't he? 'Oh! that's only his way, I think. He doesn't really mean to be haughty, and and so on. 'I wish I knew if he had any connection with Tarrant's blacklead, said Miss. Lord mischievously. 'Why not ask him?
It seemed, too, that she bore herself more gracefully, and even talked with, at times, an approximation to the speech of a lady. These admissions signified much in a man of Tarrant's social prejudice so strong that it exercised an appreciable effect upon his every-day morals. He began to muse about Miss.
Ringold, how is Palma? Prosperous as ever?" "If you had been at Mrs. Tarrant's last night, you would not need to inquire. Positively we younger men have no showing when he deigns to enter the beaux list. He is striding upward in his profession, and you know there is no limit to his ambition.
