"I wish her nothing w-worse than she's got. Her name is " "Wait a moment, Severance," cut in Banneker sharply. "Don't say anything that you'll regret. Naming of names " "Oh, there's no harm in this, n-now," said Severance wearily. "Hers is smeared in filth all over our third page. It is Maud Territon. What do you think of P-Patriotic journalism, anyway, Banneker?"
Miss Chambers was mortally angry with him and had turned to Bob Territon, whom she was trying to persuade to come to a bazaar at Bellminster on the Monday. Bob was recalcitrant, and here too the atmosphere became a little disturbed. The only people apparently content were Kate and Haddington and Lady Claudia and Stafford. To the rest it was a relief when Mrs. Lane gave the signal to rise.
Lane, may I stay too?" "By the way," said Eugene, "Stafford has taken a vow of celibacy." "I knew that," said Lady Claudia imperturbably. Eugene looked mournful; Bob Territon groaned tragically; but Lady Claudia was quite unmoved, and, turning to the Rector, who sat smiling benevolently on the young people, asked: "Do you know Father Stafford, Dr. Dennis?" "No.
He kissed her hand once again, and then straightened himself, and said: "Now I am going. You must forget or remember Millstead, not Territon. And I " "Yes, and you?" "I will go, too, where I may find forgetfulness. Good-by." "Good-by," said Claudia, and gave him her hand again, her heart full of pity and almost of love. He turned on his heel, and she stood and watched him go.
Had he been able to pursue the analysis yet further, it may be that, even in these days, he would have found that the forces of this world were already beginning to personify themselves for him in the attractive figure of Claudia Territon. As it was, however, this discovery was yet far from him.
The cricket-match came off with great éclat; in spite of a steady thirteen from the Rector, who spent two hours in "compiling" it to use the technical term and of several catches missed by Sir Roderick, who was tried in vain in all positions in the field, the Manor team won by five wickets, and Bob Territon felt that his summer had been well spent.
Of me and m-my work. I exult in my w-work. L-like Mr. Whitman, I celebrate myself. I p-point with pride. What think you, gentlemen, of to-day's paper in honor of which I have t-taken my few drinks?" "If you mean the Territon story," growled Edmonds, "it's rotten." "Precisely. I thank you for your g-golden opinion. Rotten. Exactly as intended."
Let us remember our manners, if nothing else." "And our principles," added Kate haughtily. "By all means, and forget our deviations from them. And now this conversation may as well end, may it not?" Kate's only answer was to walk straight away to the house. Eugene joined Claudia; Ayre, in his absence, had been reinforced by the accession of Bob Territon.
All this sort of thing seemed to him to have a touch of the theater about it. But Claudia took it seriously; she did not forbid him to write to her, but she answered none of his letters, and Lord Rickmansworth, whom he encountered at one of the October race-meetings, gave him to understand that she was living a life of seclusion at Territon Park.
If he failed to seek out Claudia that very day, she, knowing he was at Territon Park, would be justly aggrieved by a new proof of indifference or disrespect. And yet, if he were to wait for Stafford, that day must go by without his visit.
