So far he will please his father, and I have promised in the mean time to try and reconcile Vincy to his son's adopting some other line of life. Fred says frankly he is not fit for a clergyman, and I would do anything I could to hinder a man from the fatal step of choosing the wrong profession. He quoted to me what you said, Miss Garth do you remember it?"
'What, to marry? 'Yes. 'To marry her, I suppose? Shall you? 'I'm afraid not, he said. 'I don't think I quite can. 'Don't you think it would be rather unkind to her? Neither of them had mentioned Miss Argles' name. The fact that Vincy referred to it at all showed her that he had recovered from his infatuation. 'But do you think I'm treating the poor girl badly?
The general expectation now was that the "much" would fall to Fred Vincy, but the Vincys themselves were surprised when ten thousand pounds in specified investments were declared to be bequeathed to him: was the land coming too? Fred bit his lips: it was difficult to help smiling, and Mrs. Vincy felt herself the happiest of women possible revocation shrinking out of sight in this dazzling vision.
It is for Rosamond Vincy: she is to be married next week, and she can't be married without this handkerchief." Mary ended merrily, amused with the last notion. "Why can't she, Mary?" said Letty, seriously interested in this mystery, and pushing her head so close to her sister that Mary now turned the threatening needle towards Letty's nose.
There must be something in the atmosphere I seem to find it difficult not to think aloud Vincy, now do you see much of Vincy? 'Oh yes; he comes here most days, or we talk on the telephone. 'I see; he's your confidant, and you're his. Dear Vincy. By the way, he asked me last night to go to a tea-party at his flat next week.
'What price Mrs Ottley? 'Really, Mavis! What price? No price. Nothing about her; she's just a great friend of mine. I think I told you that before. ... What a frightfully bright light there is in the room, Vincy said. He got up and drew the blind down. He came back to her. 'Your hair's coming down, he remarked. 'I'm sorry, she said. 'But at the back it generally is.
"What must Rosy know, mother?" said Mr. Fred, who had slid in unobserved through the half-open door while the ladies were bending over their work, and now going up to the fire stood with his back towards it, warming the soles of his slippers. "Whether it's right to say 'superior young men," said Mrs. Vincy, ringing the bell. "Oh, there are so many superior teas and sugars now.
'He seemed rather carried away, I thought. There's a fascination about Aylmer. There are so many things he's not, said Vincy. 'Tell me some of them. 'Well, for one thing, he's not fatuous, though he's so good-looking. He's not a lady-killing sort of person or anything else tedious. She was delighted at this especially.
She resigned no domestic function to her daughter; and the matron's blooming good-natured face, with the two volatile pink strings floating from her fine throat, and her cheery manners to husband and children, was certainly among the great attractions of the Vincy house attractions which made it all the easier to fall in love with the daughter.
She said I had no business to lead the poor girl on, in a manner of speaking, and walk out with her, and pay her marked attention, and then not propose marriage like a gentleman. 'Then you're rather unhappy just now, Vincy? 'Well, I spoke to her frankly, and said I would like to go on being her friend, but I didn't mean to marry. And she said she'd never see me again unless I did.
