Temperly, since her husband's death, had passed much of her life at hotels, where she flattered herself that she preserved the tone of domestic life free from every taint and promoted the refined development of her children; but she selected them as well as she selected her friends.
If these affairs had dragged on it was owing to their inherent troublesomeness and implied no doubt of her capacity to bring them to a solution and to administer the very considerable fortune that Mr. Temperly had left.
J do not feel at liberty to tell you Where she is temperly biding. J should say that me and my Family have left Marlott for some Time. Yours, It was such a relief to Clare to learn that Tess was at least apparently well that her mother's stiff reticence as to her whereabouts did not long distress him. They were all angry with him, evidently.
She was not exactly important, any more than she was humble; she was too conciliatory for the one and too positive for the other. It was easy for him to talk to Mrs. Temperly in that airy way about going back, but he couldn't go back unless the old gentleman gave him the means. He must sell some pictures first, and to sell them he must first paint them.
In point of fact, however, it was no less vivid to him than it had been before that he loved Dora Temperly for qualities which had nothing to do with straightness of nose or pinkness of complexion.
'That's just what I mean, said her interlocutor. 'It would finish it beautifully for her to marry me. 'Have you finished yours, my dear? Mrs. Temperly inquired. 'The way you young people talk about marrying! she exclaimed, looking at the itinerant functionary with the long wand who touched into a flame the tall gas-lamp on the other side of the Fifth Avenue.
They took several turns in the hall, during which it might still have appeared to Dora Temperly that her cousin Raymond had nothing particular to say to her. He remarked several times that he should certainly turn up in Paris in the spring; but when once she had replied that she was very glad that subject seemed exhausted.
'Course, if they get sassy, why, they's no tellin' what will happen. I'm mighty touchy about some things. But listen! I'm actin' as your travelin' insurance agent, pro temperly, as the pote says, which means keepin' your temper.
Temperly wished her to come back and play a part of that composition of Saint-Saens the last one she had been learning for Mr. and Mrs. Parminter: they wanted to judge whether their daughter could manage it. 'I don't believe she can, said Dora, smiling; but she was moving away to comply when her companion detained her a moment. Are you going to bid me good-bye?
I don't know half enough; they know more here than I thought. So it would be perfectly easy, and we should all be together. 'Well, my dear, when you do come back to Paris we will talk about it, said Mrs. Temperly, turning away from the window.
