Craddock again; I thought you liked her." In the hall the victrola had been started in opposition to the piano beyond, and the result was a pandemonium of mechanical sound and hysterical laughter. Cytherea was unmoved, enigmatic, fascinating; the gilt of her headdress shone in minute sparkles Lee had turned on the lights by the mantel. "You always come back to her," Mrs. Craddock said.
"Oh," innocently, "I didn't know that political situations demanded blankets and victrola records." "You must make allowances for my people. They are poor and ignorant." "It isn't the people we complain about. They only do what you tell them to. Why should you come and tell them to stop working for us?" "In your country it is only the walking delegate who does that?" grinned Pachuca.
A singular expression of excitement, of titillation, almost wild, a softer expression almost dreamy, died out of her face. Lane saw Swann lead Helen up to a small table beside the Victrola. Here stood a large pitcher of lemonade, and a number of glasses.
There were books and games, and a victrola that sang full-toned boating songs as they glided onward. Even Dud was properly impressed by the charms of "The Polly"; and Jim was outspoken in his admiration. Freddy was wide-eyed with delight; and Dan was swept quite away from his usual moorings into another world, a world where Aunt Winnie's boy seemed altogether lost.
Fletcher had a really remarkable selection of records and an excellent Victrola. After dinner, as we listened to the music, we had only to close our eyes and float back to New York and the Metropolitan Opera House on the divine harmony of the sextet from "Lucia" or Caruso's matchless voice.
She followed him across the room and out into the hall, from whence her guarded voice sounded unintelligibly. But Lane's keen ear, despite the starting of the Victrola, caught Swann's equally low, yet clearer reply. "You can't kid me. I'm on. You'll vamp Lane if he lets you. Go to it!"
But the subject came round all too soon. They were speaking of the Victrola recently purchased for the Crow Hill school when Martin asked, "Have you ever heard Isabel Souders play?" "Yes, at Millersville. She often played at recitals." "She's great! Isn't she great at a piano! She's been good enough to invite me in there. Sometimes she plays for me.
In a corner by the front windows was a large cabinet Victrola.
Dearest Father: I'm writing you your birthday letter early, as I don't know how busy I may be in the next week, nor how long this may take to reach you. You know how much love I send you and how I would like to be with you. D'you remember the birthday three years ago when we set the victrola going outside your room door? Those were my high-jinks days when very many things seemed possible.
A victrola stood in a corner, and the upright piano near the center of the room formed a background for a precisely draped, imitation mandarin skirt and a convenient shelf for family photographs and hand-painted vases. On the mantel an elaborate onyx-and-bronze clock ticked inaudibly.
