Dawson. She thought the desire for many bathrooms entirely praiseworthy, and only a sign of lunacy in persons of small means. Fritzing had assured Tussie that he had money enough for the bathrooms; and if his poetic niece liked everybody about her to be nicely washed was not that a taste to be applauded?
She looked down at him in dismay while he kissed her hands with desperate, overwhelming love. What was she to do? Lady Shuttleworth tried to draw her away. What was she to do? If Tussie was overwhelmed with love, she was overwhelmed with pity. "Ethel Ethel " gasped Tussie, kissing her hands, looking up at her, kissing them again. Pity overcame her, engulfed her.
She was still so much unnerved by the unexpected meeting with her father on the wall of Creeper Cottage that she could not prevent the little jump. "What would German maids do, I wonder, in dealing with royalties," said Tussie, "if they curtsey so beautifully to ordinary mistresses? They'd have to go down on their knees to a princess, wouldn't they?"
"Tussie, have I ever shirked doing a kindness?" asked Lady Shuttleworth, touched on her tenderest point. "Never. And that's why I can't let you begin now," said Tussie, smiling at her. "Well said, well said, young man," approved Fritzing. "The woman up to a certain age should lead the youth, and he should in all things follow her counsels with respect and obedience.
He had proposed to her arrayed in a blue flannel nightingale, and Priscilla felt that headlong self-effacement could go no further. "He must have a great soul," she said to herself over and over again during the drive home, "a great, great soul." And it seemed of little use wiping her tears away, so many fresh ones immediately took their place. She ached over Tussie and Tussie's mother.
But if you do not know this, if you have yourself just come from dinner, if you are half in love and want the other person to be quite in love, if you are full of faith in your own fascinations, you are apt to fall into Robin's error and mistake the nature of the yearning. Tussie in Robin's place would have doubted the evidence of his senses, but then Tussie was very modest. Robin doubted nothing.
Dawson, grown zealous to help, or by either of the young men Robin and Tussie, who seemed constantly to be passing, the danger too was great. Fritzing was so conscious of it that he used to break out into perspirations whenever Priscilla was with him in public, and his very perspirations were conspicuous.
Tussie thought of this each time he sat at his own meals, surrounded by deft menials, lapped as he told himself in luxury, oh, thought Tussie writhing, it was base.
"And look how comfortable my cottage seems," said Priscilla, "directly one compares it with things like tubs." "Yes, yes," agreed Tussie, "I do see that it's enough for free spirits to live in. I was only wondering whether whether bodies would find it enough." "Oh bother bodies," said Priscilla airily.
"No, dearest, I can't say that it has." "Well, we are. Everything we have that is beyond bare necessaries makes us vulgar. And surely, mother, you do see that that's not a nice thing to be." "It's a horrid thing to be," said his mother, arranging his tie with an immense and lingering tenderness. "It's a difficult thing not to be," said Tussie, "if one is rich.
