Besides, I enjoyed the prospect of seeing him tied up in some impossible knot, and I believed that Lalage was just the girl to tie him. Titherington had a room, temporarily set apart for his use as an office, in the house of the Conservative and Unionist Parliamentary Association. Here he was at liberty to spread about on a large table all the papers he carried in his despatch box and many others.
Tell me about Miss Beresford's speech." "It began well," said Titherington. "It began infernally well. She stood up and, without by your leave or with your leave, said that all politicians were damned liars." "Damned?" "Well, bloody," said Titherington, with the air of a man who makes a concession. "Was Hilda there?" "She was, cheering like mad, the same as the rest of us." "I'm sorry for that.
They'd simply laugh at your Archdeacons." "Well," said Titherington, "I suppose that's all I am to get out of you." "That's all. If there was anything else I could suggest " Titherington picked up his pencil again. "I'll try Selby-Harrison," he said, "and if he knows the name " "If he doesn't, get him to wire to his son for it. He certainly knows." "I will."
However, I suppose that the book may sell better if we pretend that it is not true. But in Ireland, at least, this device will be vain. The things with which I deal were not done in a corner. There are many bishops who still smart from Lalage's attack on them, and Titherington, at all events, is not likely to forget last year's epidemic of influenza.
Ord., whatever it is, and then the whole election will be over before she gets out." "We can't allow that," said Titherington. "It would be a downright scandal to subject a girl like that why, she's quite young and and actually beautiful." "We must hope that the Puffin may prove, as she expects, to be a disguised lamb." "I wish I knew who he is. I might get at him."
I suppose that the amount of torture he inflicted on me induced a mood of joyous intoxication in which he would have promised anything. I lay in bed and did my best, by breathing hard, to shoot germs from my lungs across the room at Titherington and McMeekin. Their talk, which must have lasted about eighteen hours, was interrupted at last by a tap at the door.
However that's all the better for us. If she's capable of rushing me," Titherington's chest swelled again as he spoke, "she'll simply make hay of Vittie. It would be worth going to hear her heckling that beast on votes for women. Believe me, he won't like it." "She had you at a disadvantage," I said. "You hadn't breakfasted." Titherington became suddenly thoughtful.
"I think the best thing I can do," he said, "is to interview the lady. I can judge then whether she's likely to be any use to us." I felt very pleased to think that Titherington would learn his mistake from Lalage herself. He will be much less arrogant afterward. "If she is simply an old frump with a bee in her bonnet," he said, "who wants to bore people, I'll head her off at once.
Nothing, even in my miserable condition, would have pleased me better than a visit from her, But I am not prepared at any time to explain things to her, especially when the explanation is meant to influence her action. I am particularly unfitted for the task when I am in a state of convalescence. I interrupted Titherington. "Nurse," I said, "have you got that thermometer?
Captain Faber says Forrest was terribly crushed, falling from 1700 ft. I wish I didn't keep on thinking of plans for our Brazil trip, then remembering we won't make it after all. I don't think I will fly till fall, anyway, though I feel stronger now after rest in England, Titherington has beautiful place in Devonshire. England seems to stick to biplane, can't make them see monoplane.
