Indeed, it was half-past six before Trix alone, walked up the drive. Newhaven, a solitary figure, paced up and down the terrace fronting the drive. Trix came on, her head thrown back and a steady smile on her lips.
He had just time to get things in order, when Fanny came up, crosser than ever; for Trix had been telling her of all sorts of fun in which she might have had a share, if Polly had held her tongue. "Where is she?" asked Fan, wishing to vent her vexation on her friend. "Moping in her room, I suppose," replied Tom, who was discovered reading studiously.
When they reached the round-up Keith Cameron left the bunch and rode out to meet them, and Dick promptly shuffled responsibility for his sister's entertainment to the square shoulders of his neighbor. "Trix wants to wise up on the cattle business, Keith. I'll just turn her over to you for a-while, and let you answer her questions; I can't, half the time. I want to look through the bunch a little."
"Yes, for wanting to marry you. You, who don't care a bad cent for him!" "How many bad cents did you care, Miss Stuart, when you were so willing to be his wife?" "More than you, Miss Darrell, for at least I was not in love with any one else." "And who may Miss Darrell be in love with, pray?" "With Charley," answered Trix, her face still afire. "Deny it if you dare!
"Well, there used to be all sorts of fun, you know: my Lady Marlborough was very fond of us, and she said I was to be her page; and she got Trix to be a maid of honor, and while she was up in her room crying, we used to be always having fun, you know; and the Duchess used to kiss me, and so did her daughters, and Blandford fell tremendous in love with Trix, and she liked him; and one day he he kissed her behind a door he did though, and the Duchess caught him, and she banged such a box of the ear both at Trix and Blandford you should have seen it!
"What, Trix with Captain Hammond?" "Bother Captain Hammond! I want you. O Edie, do come!" "I can't, Trix." She turned away with an impatient sigh. "I have promised. Sir Victor wishes it, Lady Helena wishes it. It is impossible." "And Edith Darrell wishes it. Oh, say it out, Edith," Trix retorted bitterly. "Your faults are many, but fear of the truth used not to be among them. You have promised.
Ride right over into the stables yonder; wake up the stable-men and tell them to rub him down and blanket him at once, and then to saddle Trix and Rob Roy as quickly as they can. And while they're looking after the horses, you go over to the boarding-house and wake up the cook and tell him to get us up a good, substantial hand-out; we'll need it before morning.
No, I am glad to say he didn't strike me as being 'sweet' contrariwise, I thought him particularly sensible and pleasant." "Well, can't a person be sweet and sensible too?" Trix answered, impatiently. "Did you notice his eyes? Such an expression of weariness and sadness, and now what are you laughing at. I declare, you're as stupid as Charley.
Look! who comes here ho, ho!" he burst into a laugh. "'Tis Mistress Trix, with a new ribbon; I knew she would put one on as soon as she heard a captain was coming to supper."
After dinner Trix was not visible; but the door of the little boudoir beyond stood half-open, and very soon Newhaven edged his way through. Almost at the same moment Jack Ives and Mrs. Wentworth passed out of the window and began to walk up and down the gravel. Nobody but myself appeared to notice these remarkable occurrences, but I watched them with keen interest.
