"I don't suppose you believe that a woman could be a genius." "No? I have seen women who were geniuses, before now; but in every instance it meant I shall hurt your feelings if I tell you what it meant." "Not at all. I have no feelings." "It meant either devilry or disease." Tyson's eyes twinkled wickedly as he stroked his blonde mustache. He felt a diabolical delight in teasing Miss Batchelor.
I could swallow all this, Molly, if you were a little girl just out of the schoolroom; but I don't think you've much to learn." Mrs. Nevill Tyson's eyes flashed. The play had turned to deadly earnest. "Not much, thanks to you," said she. Her voice sank. "Louis was good to me." "Was he? 'Good' to you How extremely touching! Pray, were you good to him?" "No no." She shook her head remorsefully.
By a strange and unfortunate coincidence Captain Stanistreet had not been seen in Drayton for the space of five months; and coupling this fact with Mrs. Nevill Tyson's altered looks, the logical mind of Drayton Parva drew its own conclusions. Tyson had not married in order to improve his social position; he had married because he was in love as he had never been in love before.
Later on Pinker, the guardian of the hearth, finding those fragments of letters tried to put them together again. Tyson's letter it was impossible to restore. It had been torn to atoms in a vicious fury of destruction. It was torn in four neat pieces; the text, though corrupt, was fairly legible, and left little to the ingenuity of the scholiast. The Captain was staying in the neighborhood.
Hudson, who was now in charge of the government storehouse, and, accompanied by Mr. Gray, started for Fort Whipple. Hanging under the hind axle of the ambulance was a ten-gallon keg, and inside was another. We left La Paz early in the morning and arrived at Tyson's Wells at nine o'clock.
She had not moved an inch. How did Swinny know that? Why, the tail of Mrs. Tyson's dress was touching the exact spot on the carpet it had touched before. Baby found himself caught up in a rapture and strained to his faithful Swinny's breast. Whereupon he cried. He had been happier lying in the sun. Swinny turned round to the motionless figure by the hearth, and held the child well up in her arms.
Enough to tell what's kem o' 'Fambly. The oldes' gal went ter free school, l'arned ter read, write, an' cipher, an' married Pa'son Tyson's son, ez air a minister o' the gospel a-ridin' a Methodis' circuit in north Georgy now.
Nevill Tyson's idea without some touch of divine absurdity. But could any other woman have done it? "See what it was you loved so much." Poor little fool! And he saw. This was not Mrs. Nevill Tyson, but it was the woman that he had loved. Her being Mrs. Nevill Tyson was an accident; it had nothing to do with her. Her beauty too? It was gone. So was something that had obscured his judgment of her.
He had known many women who were fools, and he had survived their folly. But it seemed that he could not live without this particular little fool. He called the next day at Ridgmount Gardens. Mrs. Nevill Tyson's manner was a little disconcerting. He found her at the piano, singing in her pathetic mezzo-soprano a song that used to he a favorite of Tyson's.
He, poor old soul, was simply regarded as the victim of diabolical fascinations. After the discomfiture of Stanistreet, Mrs. Nevill Tyson's movements were watched with redoubled interest. Her appearances were now strictly limited to those large confused occasions which might be considered open events Drayton races, church, the hunt ball, and so on.
