Thesiger anything they wanted. And the Canon and Mrs. Thesiger wanted Norah to marry me. It wouldn't become me to say what Norah wanted. Viola, in a serious moment, threw a light on it. "I suppose you don't know," she said, "that Mummy and Daddy fell in love with you first? Well, they did.
Thesiger were aged by about ten years; poor Victoria looked tired and haggard; even Norah was depressed. You felt that the trouble in the house was irreparable this time. They had held their heads up against the scandal that was supposed to have occurred in Belgium; they couldn't realize it; it was the sort of thing that occurred to other people, not to them.
Are you going, Sir Edgar?" "Lady Thesiger has asked my assistance, and I have promised it. We shall make up a party. If you wish to go, Coralie, you shall." She thanked me, and when I had finished my coffee, rang the bell and ordered it to be cleared away. "I am going to sing to you," she said. "I know you are tired. Throw your head back, shut your eyes and listen.
There was no delay, no reverse, no calamity that Jevons couldn't turn into use and profit as it came. Yes, I know, and into charm and beauty. Viola Thesiger lives in his "Flemish Journal" with an enduring beauty and charm. I said I was sorry for keeping him shut up in Bruges so long. He said it didn't matter a bit. He had been very busy. But I was mistaken.
In the house in Edwardes Square I seem to have been always meeting Norah Thesiger. Now that they had a room to put her in, she would be there for months at a time. And whenever she was there they would be sure to ask me. If Jevons didn't, Viola did. There was that summer, too, when Norah and Mildred came together with Charlie Thesiger, their cousin, who was engaged to Mildred.
And perhaps you'll send a cable home for me. Address Thesiger Smith, Cosham. Say 'All well." "I'll do it, with pleasure." "Thanks. Good-bye. Sorry I've got to rush off." He shook hands all round, and jumped on board. Rodier had already taken his place at the engine.
She took her book from her berth and opened it. Mrs. Thesiger was satisfied. Sylvia clearly did not suspect that it was just the appearance of that stiff, old-fashioned couple which had driven her out of Trouville a good month before her time her, Mrs. Thesiger of the many friends.
Thesiger wrote, and the General and the Dean; and I've no doubt the Archbishop would have written too, if I hadn't unearthed my General at his club, and asked him if he knew the Thesigers, and found out that he did, and implored him to arrange the horrid business for me as best he could.
I asked for Miss Viola Thesiger and was shown into the Canon's library. To my great relief the Canon wasn't in his library. It looked out on to a perfect garden with a thick green lawn, and an old red-brick wall, very high, all round it, and tall elms topping the wall, and long beds of wallflowers and tulips blazing away underneath it. I said to myself, "If I want atmosphere I've got it.
"I will be your wife," she said; and then, to my thinking, we went straight away to fairyland. I do not remember the sun setting, although it must have set; for when my senses returned to me a servant was standing before us, saying that Lady Thesiger was afraid it was growing cold. There lay the dew shining on the trees and flowers, yet we had not even seen it fall.
