There's life of a sort in Soho, Un peu de faisan, s'il vows plait." Agnes also grabbed at the waiter, and paid. She always did the paying, Rickie muddled with his purse. "I'm cramming," pursued Tilliard, "and so naturally I come into contact with very little at present. But later on I hope to see things." He blushed a little, for he was talking for Rickie's edification.
"It is most frightfully important not to get a narrow or academic outlook, don't you think? A person like Ansell, who goes from Cambridge, home home, Cambridge it must tell on him in time." "But Mr. Ansell is a philosopher." "A very kinky one," said Tilliard abruptly. "Not my idea of a philosopher. How goes his dissertation?" "He never answers my letters," replied Rickie. "He never would.
Later on, I hope, we'll meet again." They parted. Tilliard liked her, though he did not feel that she was quite in his couche sociale. His sister, for instance, would never have been lured into a Soho restaurant except for the experience of the thing. Tilliard's couche sociale permitted experiences.
But there was Tilliard, sitting neatly on a little chair, like an undersized god, with not a curl crooked. I should say he will get into the Foreign Office." "Why are most of us so ugly?" laughed Rickie. "It's merely a sign of our salvation merely another sign that the college is split." "The college isn't split," cried Rickie, who got excited on this subject with unfailing regularity.
"We oughtn't to have done things like this," said Agnes, turning to Mrs. Lewin. "We have no right to take Mr. Ansell by surprise. It is Rickie's fault. He was that obstinate. He would bring us. He ought to be horsewhipped." "He ought, indeed," said Tilliard pleasantly, and bolted. Not till he gained his room did he realize that he had been less apt than usual.
Ansell." And, with obvious relief, she wrung Tilliard warmly by the hand. "I'm Ansell," said Ansell, looking very uncouth and grim. "How stupid of me not to know it," she gasped, and would have gone on to I know not what, but the door opened again. It was Rickie. "Here's Miss Pembroke," he said. "I am going to marry her." There was a profound silence.
"No," said Tilliard mildly. "Well, you'd better come, and bring every one you know." So Tilliard came, bearing himself a little formally, for he was not very intimate with his neighbour. Out of the window they called to Widdrington. But he laid his hand on his stomach, thus indicating it was too late.
"But they stop till Monday." "You only think that they are stopping." "But oh, look here, shut up! The girl like an empress " "I saw no empress, nor any girl, nor have you seen them." "Ansell, don't rag." "Elliot, I never rag, and you know it. She was not really there." There was a moment's silence. Then Rickie exclaimed, "I've got you. You say or was it Tilliard? no, YOU say that the cow's there.
I've heard nothing since June." "It's a pity he sends in this year. There are so many good people in. He'd have afar better chance if he waited." "So I said, but he wouldn't wait. He's so keen about this particular subject." "What is it?" asked Agnes. "About things being real, wasn't it, Tilliard?" "That's near enough." "Well, good luck to him!" said the girl. "And good luck to you, Mr. Tilliard!
He slipped the piece of pie back. It fell into position like a brick. "Is it here? Am I right? Is it here?" The door opened and in came Mrs. Lewin. "Oh horrors! I've made a mistake." "That's all right," said Ansell awkwardly. "I wanted Mr. Elliot. Where are they?" "We expect Mr. Elliot every-moment," said Tilliard. "Don't tell me I'm right," cried Mrs. Lewin, "and that you're the terrifying Mr.
