Tennants believed in appealing to the hearts of men, firing their imagination and penetrating and vivifying their inmost lives. They had a little loose love to give the whole world. The Asquiths without mental flurry and with perfect self- mastery believed in the free application of intellect to every human emotion; no event could have given heightened expression to their feelings.
"Everything," replied Alice. "You can't go about the world if you are stupid and ignorant." "Can't I?" exclaimed Kathleen, and she flashed her eyes at Alice and made her feel, as she said afterwards, quite uncanny. The Tennants were, after all, not a large family. They consisted of Mrs. Tennant, Alice, and two young brothers. These brothers were schoolboys of the unruly type.
Presently she and Cassandra were crossing the common arm-in-arm. In the interest of their own conversation they forgot Kathleen. When that young lady left the house she ran back to the Tennants'. "I will write to dad to-night and tell him that I can't stay," she thought. "Oh, dear, my heart is in my mouth! I shall have a broken heart if this sort of thing goes on." She entered the house.
I find in an old letter to my mother an account of an evening at 40 Grosvenor Square, where the Tennants lived. It was not an evening party we joined a dinner party there, after dining somewhere else. So that the rooms were empty enough to let one see the pretty creatures gathered in it, to perfection.
"I quite understand your being lonely. I was very lonely indeed when I came home from India and left my dear father and mother behind me." "How old were you when you came home?" "A great deal younger than you are: only seven years old. But that is a long time ago. I should like to be kind to you, Miss O'Hara. Cassandra has been telling me about you. You are living at the Tennants', are you not?
I do not think if you had ransacked the world you could have found natures so opposite in temper, temperament and outlook as myself and my stepchildren when I first knew them. If there was a difference between the Tennants and Lytteltons of laughter, there was a difference between the Tennants and Asquiths of tears.
I lunched with the Tennants today; no relation to Mrs. Stanley, and it was informal and funny rather. The Earl of Spender was there and Lord Pembroke and a lot of women. They got up and walked about and changed places and seemed to know one another better than we do at home.
"I'd like to please you, of course," said Kathleen. She spoke gently, and then she added: "But there is only one piano at the Tennants', and that is in the drawing-room, and Alice or the boys or Mrs. Tennant are always there. I have not many opportunities to practice." "I live in the same terrace," said Miss Spicer eagerly, "and my piano is hardly ever used.
Dear Lem: The folks up to your house want to lay out money on it and don't dass for fear you'll turn em out and pocket their improvements. If you haint got any better use for the propety I advise you to hold on to this bunch of tennants as they are O.K. wash goods, all wool, and a yard wide. I woodent like Mrs.
And I was so rude to you! But to see him to see him again " "My poor darling!" says Margaret, pressing the girl to her with infinite tenderness. "Just been to see her," says Mr. Gower, who has selected the snuggest chair in Margaret's drawing-room, and is now holding forth from its cushioned depths with a radiant smile upon his brow. "She's staying with the Tennants.
