When she saw what she had done, and found herself virtually alone with Trefusis, who had followed her, she blamed him for it, and was about to retrace her steps when he said coolly: "Were you shocked when you heard of Henrietta's sudden death?" Agatha struggled with herself for a moment, and then said in a suppressed voice: "How dare you speak to me?" "Why not?" said he, astonished.
"And a much less troublesome and more perfect process than that," said Trefusis, pointing to the etching. "The artists are sticking to the old barbarous, difficult, and imperfect processes of etching and portrait painting merely to keep up the value of their monopoly of the required skill.
In a flash Lionel bethought him of the proper place for this. He swung round, and pointed across the water to Trefusis Point and the grey pile of Godolphin Court all bathed in sunshine now. "Yonder, at Trefusis Point in the shadow of Godolphin Court at eight to-morrow night, when there will be no moon. I'll see that he is there. But on your life do not miss him." "Trust me," said Master Leigh.
"However, as there seems to be no doubt that you and Trefusis are engaged, I shall of course say nothing that would make it unpleasant for him to visit here; but I must say that he has to say the least been inconsiderate to me personally.
"I may change my mind and be in earnest, too; and then how will you feel, Mr. Trefusis?" "I think, under our altered relations, you had better call me Sidney." "I think we had better drop the joke. It was in rather bad taste, and I should not have made it, perhaps." "It would be an execrable joke; therefore I have no intention of regarding it as one. You shall be held to your offer, Agatha.
Michael had for some time past taken pains to let it be known that he was not, as supposed to be, the son of Paul Trefusis, and had told all his friends and acquaintances the history which Paul had given him. Many of the elder people, indeed, were well acquainted with the circumstances of the case, and were able to corroborate what he said.
"Nothing is sacred to you. This shows what Socialists are!" "And what fathers are, and what mothers are," retorted Trefusis, giving way to his temper. "I thought you loved Hetty, but I see that you only love your feelings and your respectability. The devil take both! She was right; my love for her, incomplete as it was, was greater than yours." And he left the house in dudgeon.
Look as a man would who were being abused. Cringe or snarl, but listen. Do you remember once when as lads we swam together from Penarrow to Trefusis Point?" "What do you mean?" quoth Lionel, and the natural sullenness of his mien was all that Sakr-el-Bahr could have desired. "I am wondering whether you could still swim as far.
Sir Charles pooh-poohed this view, and the two friends were sharp with one another in discussing it. After dinner, when the ladies had left them, Sir Charles, repentant and cordial, urged Erskine to speak to Gertrude without troubling himself as to the sincerity of Trefusis. But Erskine, knowing himself ill able to brook a refusal, was loth to expose himself.
"Cotman's bank the last Cotman died out of the firm before we were born. The Chairman of the Transcanadian Railway Company." "I know the name. I am seldom in the city." "Naturally," assented Trefusis; "for who would sadden himself by pushing his way through a crowd of such slaves, if he could help it? I mean slaves of Mammon, of course.
