For Landon, the amusement of baiting the other man's evident misery soon palled. He was a little annoyed himself that Joan should have seen fit to drag him in as such a cat's-paw, for a very few minutes of their threesome had shown him what his part was intended to be. It meant in addition that the girl had fooled him, and that he had wasted his background of red roses.
On the other hand, according to the Boches, Gervaise had gone back to her former mate the very first night, just as soon as poor Coupeau had gone to sleep. The picture was not pretty, but there were a lot of worse things in life, so folks ended by accepting the threesome as altogether natural.
There was a new breeze, spicily cool. Miss Hoag breathed out, "Ain't this something grand?" "Giddy-ap!" cried the Baron, slappity-slappity at the great boulder of the Granite Jaw's head. "Giddy-ap!" They plowed forward, a group out of Phantasmagoria as motley a threesome as ever strode this side of the Land of Anesthesia. "How do you like it at Mrs. Bostum's boarding-house, Mr. Jastrow?
He's no very bonnie, my dear, but he's leal to them he loves." "I thank you from my heart for your good words," said she. "I have that honour for a brave, honest man that I cannot find any to be answering with." Using travellers' freedom, we spared to wait for James More, and sat down to meat, we threesome.
"It's too seriously bad." "Do you golf, Miss Morley, may I ask?" inquired the curate. "I have occasionally, after a fashion. I am sure I should like to learn." "I shall be delighted to teach you. It would be a great pleasure, really." He looked as if it would be a pleasure. Frances smiled. "Thank you so much," she said. "You and I and Mr. Knowles will have a threesome."
She conjured from her fancy the castle in which he was born, and over which he will some time rule, and I helped her as best I could. I can see that it will be a long time before LaHume will ask me to make up a threesome with Miss Lawrence. I wonder what "the hired man" would think if he knew that his lucky stroke with a hickory club had created so great a furor?
But, just as I seated myself at the desk in the Reverend Cole's study, the young lady appeared and insisted that the twosome become a threesome, that I leave my "stupid old papers and pencils" and come for a round on the links. I protested, of course, but she was in one of her wilful moods that morning and declared that she would not play unless I did. "It will do you good," she said.
"And if you can dance a threesome reel, what good does it do ye?" asked Susan, looking askance at Michael, who had just been vaunting his proficiency. "Does it help you plough, reap, or even climb the rocks to take a raven's nest? If I were a man, I'd be ashamed to give in to such softness." "If you were a man, you'd be glad to do anything which made the pretty girls stand round and admire."
Bayliss, to whom the remark was addressed, made no answer. I judged that he did not care for the honor of the Heathcroft company. But Frances, after a glance in his direction, answered for him. "Oh, not in the least," she said. "A foursome is ever so much more sporting than a threesome. Mr. Heathcroft, you and I will play Doctor Bayliss and Uncle. Shall we?"
I am going to have a talk with him at the first opportunity, and if my suspicion is verified I shall try to find some way to give him a quicker start. I doubt if Bishop is paying him more than twenty dollars a month. As I started to describe, LaHume, Miss Olive Lawrence and I were playing a threesome.
