Don't you see how charmingly it will all work in the end?" "What are you two whispering about?" demanded Freddie Ulstervelt noisily, patience coming to an end. "Wha what the devil is that to " began Brock furiously. Constance brought him up sharp with a warning kick on the ankle. He vowed afterward that he would carry the mark to his grave.
But it remained for the gallant Freddie Ulstervelt to bowl her over with surprise for the first time in her long and varied career. At the end of half an hour she pulled herself together and tapped him on the shoulder with her fan, a quizzical smile on her lips. "My dear Mr. Ulstervelt, are you trying to make love to me? You nice Americans! How gallant you can be.
And it's horribly annoying to have Ulstervelt shouting in my ear loud enough for everybody in the dining-room to hear. It's rich, I tell you, and if I didn't love you so devotedly, Edith, I'd be on my way at this very instant. There! I feel better. 'On my way' is the first American line I've had in the farce since we left Stuttgart.
Odell-Carney was a Lady Somebody-or-other before she married the second time. She's terribly smart, Roxbury." "How, in the name of heaven, do they happen to be hobnobbing, as you call it, with the Rodneys, may I ask?" "Well, it seems that Odell-Carney is promoting a new South African mining venture. I have it from Freddie Ulstervelt that he's trying to sell something like a million shares to Mr.
Rodney looked blankly at her daughter, who had thrown herself in a chair. She gasped and then gave vent to a tremulous squeak. "In love! Your father? With whom who is she?" "Father? Oh, Lord, mother, I didn't say anything about father. Don't cry! It's another man altogether." "Not Freddie Ulstervelt?" quavered Mrs. Rodney, pulling herself together. "After all he has said to you "
"'Pon my soul, Ulstervelt," apologised Brock, with a magnanimous smile, "I haven't said it was a joke. You " "Then, what are you laughing at? Something you heard yesterday?" with fine scorn. Brock stared hard at the flushed, boyish face of the other; it was weak and yet as hard as brass, hard with the overbearing confidence of the spoiled child of wealth.
It is our dear Edith's desire to slip into the charmed circle through the rift that the Rodneys make. Do you comprehend?" They were seated side by side in the corner of the compartment, his broad back screening her as much as possible from the persistent glances of Freddie Ulstervelt, who was nobly striving to confine his attentions to Katherine.
The bank and the police were profuse in apologies and explanations, and Mr. Githens departed by the first train. Freddie Ulstervelt, killing two birds with one stone, arranged a splendid dinner for that night in honour of the prodigal husband of Edith and also in open compliment to the vivacious Mademoiselle Le Brun.
He said it in contemplative delight in what he would do if it were definitely settled. "I can't stand them much longer." "What great variety of Americans there are," she reflected. "Mrs. Medcroft and her sister are Americans. Compare them with the Rodneys and Mr. Ulstervelt. No, Carney, I'll not start a scandal. The Rodneys would not understand, as you say.
He surveyed the eager Ulstervelt in the most irritating manner, finally laughing outright in his face. The very thought of him as Connie's accepted lover! She, the adorable, the splendid, the unapproachable! It was excruciatingly funny! "Oh, I say, old man," cried Freddie, when the disconcerting laugh came, "don't laugh! It's no damned joke."
