And perhaps it was a miracle to have turned Jevons out as a morally presentable person according to the requirements of a Cathedral Close. But up to that Tuesday afternoon in August my private grievance against Jevons remained what it had been. In his absence even while I whitewashed him I could not extend a Christian forgiveness and forbearance to Jevons, any more than Mrs. Thesiger could.
I believe he knew that she was leaving him, that she had left him; and yet, here he was, treating her departure as if it didn't matter, as if it were the most natural and reasonable thing in the world, and lashing himself into a fury about his wretched motor-car. And he was treating the dangerous element in the case, Charlie Thesiger, as if it didn't matter either; as if it didn't exist.
"Perhaps fortune may favor me," I thought; "Lady Thesiger may leave the room, and then I will not lose a moment." How fervently I blessed these Cherokees before the day was ended no one will ever know. Lady Thesiger never left us; Agatha worked very hard. Looking at the sweet, calm, high-bred face, I wondered if she knew that a lover, with his heart on fire, sat near her.
A report on the situation was made to Brigadier-General Thesiger, and instructions were received that on no account was the Battalion to leave the front line, and it was to hold the same against a possible and probable counter attack by the enemy. At 10-0 a.m. the Battalion was ordered to prepare to take part in a second attack to be launched at 11-15 a.m.
I took Miss Thesiger to show her my sister's flowers; for no word of mine would those lovely eyes look up. She was not shy; her grace of manner was too perfect for that, but she was evidently afraid to look at me, and I reproached myself that I had perhaps frightened her at first.
He afterwards was Lord Chancellor, and took his title from the little county town where probably he obtained his start in the career which ended so brilliantly. Platt became a Baron of the Exchequer. Thesiger was a first-rate advocate, and, I need not say, was at all times scrupulously fair.
She spoke quickly to the guide and he turned at once and called "Michel," and when Revailloud approached, he presented him to Sylvia Thesiger. "He has made many first ascents in the range of Mont Blanc, mademoiselle." Sylvia held out her hand with a smile of admiration. "I know," she said. "I have read of them." "Really?" cried Michel. "You have read of them you, mademoiselle?"
Bruges might back Jevons, but Canterbury would never back him; whereas it was quite evident that Canterbury was backing me. I was in the drawing-room ten minutes before dinner-time. They were all there: the Canon and Mrs. Thesiger and their five unmarried daughters Victoria, the eldest, Millicent, the High School teacher, Mildred, the nurse, Viola, the youngest but one, and Norah, the youngest.
In short, the auction was as good as a fair, and drew all classes with leisure at command: to some, who risked making bids in order simply to raise prices, it was almost equal to betting at the races. The second day, when the best furniture was to be sold, "everybody" was there; even Mr. Thesiger, the rector of St.
I ought to have remembered that Reggie was more important to Mrs. Thesiger than Jevons, even if Jevons had done what Mrs. Thesiger didn't yet know he'd done. The maternal passion is a terrible thing. It has made women commit crimes. It made my mother-in-law push Viola from her on her threshold and turn on me as I was helping Jimmy out of the car. It made her say, "You've brought my son-in-law.
