But you don't know, my lady, what it is to be a cook, and to see the dishes get cold, while he as should eat them goes on painting, not but what Master Noel don't paint like an angel, as I've said dozens of times." While Mrs. Tribb ran on in this manner her lively black eyes twinkled anxiously.
I don't hold with it though for you, sir. But now Lady Agnes having millions and billions will make things easier for you." "Certainly not, Mrs. Tribb. How could I take money from her?" "And why not, Master Noel? if you'll excuse my making so free. As a child she'd give you anything in the way of toys, and as a grown-up, her head is yours if not her heart, as is " "There! there!
She is sure to be here soon, as she always comes bothering Mrs. Tribb in the afternoon about my health. Just ring that hand-bell, Agnes." "Do you think Chaldea wrote the letter?" she asked, having obeyed him. "No. She has not the education to forge, or even to write decently." "Perhaps Mr. Silver but no.
So thin were the walls, and so near the door that he heard also the housekeeper's effusive welcome, which was cut short by a gasp of surprise. Lambert idly wondered what caused the little woman's astonishment, but speedily learned when Agnes appeared in the room. With rare discretion Mrs. Tribb ushered in the visitor and then fled to the kitchen to wonder why the widow had discarded her mourning.
Tribb, that Garvington had frequently suggested she should come to The Manor. But, so far, Lambert had managed to keep the little woman to himself. Mrs. Tribb adored him, since she had known him from babyhood, and declined to leave him under any circumstances. She thought Lambert the best man in the world, and challenged the universe to find another so handsome and clever, and so considerate.
He's as jealous as Cain, and I don't want Master Noel to be no Abel!" If Mrs. Tribb, instead of going to the kitchen, which she did, had gone out of the front door, she would have found Chaldea lying full length amongst the flowers under the large window of the studio.
The little woman, on her master's account, was disgusted with the mean surroundings. "When you ought to be living in a kind of Buckingham Palace, Master Noel, as I should declare with my dying breath," she said indignantly. "And have the title, too, if things was as they ought to be." "I shouldn't be much better off if I did have the title, Mrs. Tribb," replied Lambert with a shrug.
I taxed him with setting the trap, and he declared that Hubert was more benefit to him alive than dead, which is perfectly true. Here is Mrs. Tribb, Noel." Lambert turned his head. "Has that gypsy been here to-day?" he asked sharply. "Not yet, Master Noel, but there's no saying when she may come, for she's always hanging round the house.
"The fever's up and I'm down," replied Lambert, who was glad to see her, if only to distract his painful thoughts. "It's only a touch of malaria, my dear Clara. I shall be all right in a few days." "You're hopeful, I must say, Lambert. What about a doctor?" "I don't need one. Mrs. Tribb is nursing me."
"It seems to me that I am very much between the blankets now," murmured Lambert in a tired voice, and with a glance at his swathed limbs. "Go away, Mrs. Tribb, and get Lady Agnes something to eat." "I only want a cup of tea," said Agnes, looking anxiously into her lover's bluish-tinted face. "I'm not hungry." Mrs. Tribb took a long look at the visitor and pursed up her lips, as she shook her head.
