What on earth Jimmy conceived that he should have to do with it I couldn't think. And all of a sudden I had a reminiscence of Jevons as I had seen him nine years ago, talking to Reggie Thesiger in Viola's rooms at Hampstead, prophesying war, and lamenting that he wouldn't be in it because he was an arrant coward.
She went to her mother's side, and they talked to Clare until it was time for lunch. I asked if they would remain and take lunch with my sister. They consented, and when it was arranged I sent to ask Coralie if she would join us. Her answer was that she was busily engaged and begged we would excuse her. Again I felt sure that Lady Thesiger looked considerably relieved.
"Give up Agatha and marry you, you would say, Coralie?" "Ah, dear, I love you so! You would never repent it. I would make you happy as a crowned king." I stopped her. "Say no more, Coralie! I am grieved and shocked that you should renew the subject. I told you before I should never love any woman, save Agatha Thesiger, were I to live forever."
"They did," I said. "Because Jimmy made them." Yes. I am very sorry for Mrs. Thesiger. "Mildred dear, I think Jimmy had better have Reggie's room." Then she went to him; and I am told that she kissed him for the first time. She kissed him as if he had been her son. He still had Reggie's room six weeks later when I came back from France for a week-end.
The din of the torrent was in his ears, and it was not until a foot sounded lightly close behind him that he knew he was no longer alone. He turned round and saw to his surprise the over-dainty doll of the Annemasse buffet, the child of the casinos and the bathing beaches, Sylvia Thesiger. His surprise was very noticeable and Sylvia's face flushed.
The Canon showed him the town all over again all morning. And in the afternoon Mrs. Thesiger showed him the Cathedral all over again; and took him with her to the service. And all dinner-time Jevons was very pensive and subdued. After dinner the Canon talked to Jevons about his novel. And Jevons was more pensive than ever. He said, "Well that's a question "
And in nineteen-thirteen, when both his plays were still running, even his father-in-law said that he was a disgusting spectacle. Sometimes I have thought that Viola's detachment helped his undoing. She wasn't there to pull him up or to cover his disasters; she had more and more the look of not being there at all. And Charlie Thesiger was always there.
Their intentions were denied and frustrated, the original design was altered to harmonize with his. Herein you saw the superior restraint, the superior plasticity, the superior art of Mrs. Thesiger. It was all very well for him to be correct when his features were formed that way, but this was the very triumph of correctness. And she was, if anything, braver than her husband.
"All our neighbors understand Lady Thesiger's politics," she continued; "they have been a source of great amusement for some time." "Miss Thesiger is not a day above eighteen," I said, fairly angry at last; "so that there can not have been much time for manoeuvring." "Ah!" she said, "how I admire you, Sir Edgar.
You know, now, that he was my husband and had a right to kiss me if he chose." Lady Thesiger bowed very stiffly. "Two years after our marriage," Coralie continued, "my little son, called Rupert, after the Crusader Trevelyan, was born. Under the pretense of visiting some of my relations, I went to Lincoln. In the registry of the church of St.
