"I am very pleased to see you, sir, very pleased indeed," he assured the Count not once but several times, shaking him heartily by the hand and eyeing him with a glance accustomed to foresee several days before his fellows the probable fluctuations in the price of anything. "I have taken the liberty of calling upon you in the capacity of Lord Tulliwuddle's confidential friend," the Count began.
He would often, and with considerable feeling, declare that any ordinary peer he could easily have become, but that being old Tulliwuddle's heir, by Gad! he didn't half like the job.
"I gom mit so moch pleasure zat I cannot eggspress! Tollyvoddle, be no longer afraid. I have helped to write a book on ze noble families of Germany zat is to say, I have contributed my portrait and some anecdote. Our dear friend shall make no mistakes!" By this guarantee Lord Tulliwuddle's last doubts were completely set at rest.
Also, he touched upon her father's colossal fortune, and the genuine Tulliwuddle's necessities. The Baron listened with growing interest. "Vell," he said, "I soppose I most make a goot impression for ze sake of Tollyvoddle. For instance, ven we drive up " "Drive? my dear Baron, we shall march! Leave it to me; I have a very pretty design shaping in my head."
"Gom, Bonker, dance mit me ze Highland fling!" The first night of Lord Tulliwuddle's visit to his ancestral halls is still remembered among his native hills. The Count also, his mind now rapturously at ease, performed prodigies.
"No," interrupted Mr. Maddison, "it is because he does not realize the value of time which is considerably more valuable than admiration, I can assure you. Since I discussed the matter with Lord Tulliwuddle's aunt we have had several more buyers I should say, suitors in the market er in the field, Count Bunker.
Rentoul was a recognized authority on such questions, having, before the days of his affluence, travelled for a notable firm of distillers. His praise of Lord Tulliwuddle's capacity was loudly echoed by Mr. Gallosh, and even the ladies could not but indulgently agree that he had exhibited a strength of head worthy of his race. "And yet he was a wee thing touched too," said Mr. Rentoul sagely.
Assuring her that he would not hesitate to act upon this guarantee if necessary, the Count nevertheless diplomatically suggested that he would sooner leave it to the lady to open the discussion. "Well," she said, "I suppose we may presume you have called here as Lord Tulliwuddle's friend?" "You may, Miss Maddison." "And no doubt he has something pretty definite to suggest?"
I tell you what! You come and join us! Will you?" "If zat is ze only vay yes, mit pleasure! Who is ze man?" "Young Tulliwuddle. Do you remember going to a dance at Lord Tulliwuddle's, some five and a half years ago?" "Himmel! Ha, ha! Vell do I remember!"
