"I didn't promise to deceive, did I? I don't think I did." "It doesn't much matter whether you did or not, for you couldn't!" I don't think Miss Tita would have contested this event had she not been diverted by our seeing the doctor's gondola shoot into the little canal and approach the house. I noted that he came as fast as if he believed that Miss Bordereau was still in danger.
"And after that," goes on Hescott, "if if " He breaks down. "Well, if that comes, you know I love you, Tita." He tries to take her hand. "Don't touch me!" says Tita vehemently. She pushes his hand from her; such a disdainful little push. "Oh, I thought you really did love me," says she, "but not like this!" Suddenly a sort of rage and of anger springs to life within her.
"Nobody could want a toothbrush." "Some people want them awfully," says Mr. Gower. "Haven't you noticed?" But here Sir Maurice sees it his duty to interfere. "Miss Bolton, will you play this next set with me?" says he, coming up to Tita. "Oh, I should love it!" cries she. "You are so good a player. Do get us some decent people to play against, though; I hate a weak game."
"My dearest child," says Lady Rylton, nestling cosily into her chair, and smiling delicately at Tita over the top of her fan, "you may have noticed that I gave dear Margaret her congé with intent?" "I saw that you wanted to get rid of her," says Tita. "I fear, my dear, your training has been somewhat defective," says Lady Rylton, biting her lips.
Oh, confess that, my lord! confess it ere it be too late!" "I will confess all about the Indians, and the gold, and Tita too, Fray; peccavi, peccavi only five minutes, senors, five little minutes' grace, while I confess to the good Fray!" and he grovelled on the deck. "I will have no such mummery where I command," said Amyas, sternly. "I will be no accomplice in cheating Satan of his due."
"I feel very sorry for you, my poor child; and I would have warned you of this thing long ago, but I dreaded the anger of Maurice." "Why, what is it?" cries Tita vehemently. "Has Maurice murdered somebody, or defrauded somebody, or run away with somebody?" "Oh no! He did not run away with her," says lady Rylton slowly. "You mean you mean "
"I have not been crying because of Tom," says Tita coldly, "though I am very sorry he is going. He loves me, I think." "Do you?" says Rylton. A sarcastic smile crosses his lips "And you? Do you love him? No doubt cousins are charming possessions.
Tita, indeed, had obstinately refused to come downstairs, even though Margaret had gone up to fetch her. Margaret had not forgotten that occasion. She had found the girl in her room.
Miss Tita, without definitely answering this speech, looked away from me, out of the window, as if she were going to cry; and I remarked that once we had Miss Bordereau's approval we could easily come to an understanding. We would take an hour, whichever she liked, one of the very next days. As I made my obeisance to the old lady I asked her if she would kindly permit me to see her again.
"Is it?" cries Tita. "Then I suppose we ought to go out! But what a pity we couldn't have another game first!" She looks very sorry. "You certainly seemed to enjoy it," says Sir Maurice with a cold smile, as he passes her. "Can I come in?" Rylton's voice is a little curt as he knocks at his wife's door.
