"That's good!" said Weston Massinghay, with all his teeth gleaming; "I shall use that against you in the House!" "I shall denounce you for abusing private confidences if you do," said Tarvrille. "Remington wants us to give up launching Dreadnoughts and launch babies instead," Burshort urged. "For the price of one Dreadnought "
"How do I know that she's not being told some story of my abandonment of her? How do I know she isn't being led to believe I no longer want her to come to me?" "She isn't," said Tarvrille, still with that arrested judicial note in his voice. "You had her letters?" he said. "Two." "Yes. Didn't they speak?" "I want to see her. Damn it, Tarvrille!" I cried with sudden tears in my smarting eyes.
Of course their plans must have been definitely made before this talk, probably they had made them overnight, and probably it was Tarvrille had given them a practicable shape, but he threw over the whole of our talk so satisfying a suggestion of arrest and prolonged discussion that it never occurred to me that I should not be able to come again on the morrow and renew my demand to see Mary.

"You see, Stratton," said Tarvrille as if he were expanding Philip's assertion, "there's been too many divorces in society. It's demoralizing people. It's discrediting us. It's setting class against class. Everybody is saying why don't these big people either set about respecting the law or altering it. Common people are getting too infernally clear-headed.
Maxton and Tarvrille appeared: "Hullo, Stratton!" said Tarvrille, with a fine flavor of an agreeable chance meeting. Philip had doubts about his greeting me, and then extended his reluctant hand with a nervous grin to excuse the delay. "I want to see Lady Mary," said I, stiffly. "She's not up yet," said Tarvrille, with a hand on my shoulder. "Come and have a talk in the garden."
It was an occasion made absurd and strange by the odd accident that the house caught fire upstairs while we were dining below. It was a men's dinner "A dinner of all sorts," said Tarvrille, when he invited me; "everything from Evesham and Gane to Wilkins the author, and Heaven knows what will happen!"
