"For one thing, I am grieved to hear that you have made my son far from happy in his married life." A quick red dyes Tita's face. It lasts for a moment only. She controls herself admirably, and, going to a chair, pulls it a little forward in a perfectly self-possessed fashion, pausing a little over the exact position of it, after which she seats herself amongst the cushions.
And if so, what remains? Nothing but the face of a small, angry little girl defying him defying him always. Pouf! He thrusts it from him. He lights another cigar. Again the old anger breaks out. Tita's words come back to him. Plainly she would be as glad to get rid of him as he She had spoken of her own way. Why not let her go that way? It leads to her cousin.
There is a sense of relief, yet of regret, in Margaret's heart as she tells herself that he is well out of town. But now, certainly, is the time to work on Tita's sense of right and wrong. Rylton will come back at the end of the month, and when he does, surely surely his wife should be willing to, at all events, receive him as a friend.
How a Journey is begun as the Day dies down; and how that Journey ends; and how a great Secret is discovered the Secret of Tita's Heart Minnie Hescott, during the time it takes her to go down the terrace steps behind Tita, comes to a resolution. She will give Tita a hint!
You are not only malicious, but silly! People of the world never remember unpleasant things." "Well, I am not of them; I remember," says Tita. She pauses. "People of the world seem to me to do strange things." "On the contrary," with a sneer, "it is people who are not in society who do strange things." "Meaning me?" flushing and frowning. Tita's temper is beginning to give way.
Twelve strokes from the hall beneath fall upon Tita's ear as she goes hurriedly towards her own room. It is the midnight hour, the mystic hour, when ghosts do take their nightly rounds! This is not a ghost, however, this tall young man, who, coming up by the central staircase, meets her now face to face. "Tita! Is it you?" "Yes, yes," says Tita, trying to hurry past him.
This optical trick gave her a sort of phantasmagoric brightness, and while I was still the victim of it I heard a whisper somewhere in the depths of my conscience: "Why not, after all why not?" It seemed to me I was ready to pay the price. Still more distinctly however than the whisper I heard Miss Tita's own voice.
Tom Hescott has shown himself desirous of taking Tita's small fingers into his possession for the time being, at all events a fact pointed out to Rylton by Mrs. Bethune with a low, amused little laugh; but Tita had told him to go away, as she couldn't give her hand to anybody for a moment, as she was going to have the conduct of the affair.
Miss Tita's idea was evidently to get her aunt immediately back to bed. I confess that in spite of this urgency I was guilty of the indiscretion of lingering; it held me there to think that I was nearer the documents I coveted that they were probably put away somewhere in the faded, unsociable room.
"See that breakfast is sent up to Lady Rylton," says he calmly. A faint colour rises to Tita's forehead. She goes straight to the door. Randal Gower, who is still at the sideboard, hurries to open it for her. "There's a regular ta-ra-ra waiting for you," says he, "in the near bimeby." Tita gives him an indignant glance as she goes by, which that youth accepts with a beaming smile.
