I tell you plainly that I'd rather see Lalage heading a torchlight procession every day in the week than married to Vittie." "The Archdeacon says that you are the person chiefly responsible for what he calls Lalage's compromising position." "The Archdeacon may say what he likes. I'm not responsible.
I gave McMeekin twenty-five pounds for medical attendance up to date, just before I asked him to sign the bulletin. I also presented the nurse with a brooch of gold filagree work, which I had brought home with me from Portugal, intending to give it to my mother. It would have been churlish of them, afterward, to refuse to sign my bulletin. This disposed of Vittie and O'Donoghue for the time.
"There are; and if there were only ten voters in each it would be more than we could afford to lose. Vittie thinks he has them all safe in his breeches pocket, but I have a letter here which will put his hair out of curl for a while." "I hate men with curly hair," I said. "It's so effeminate."
"You were right. After the narrow shave you had with the bishops you can't be too careful. And the amount is almost certain to be over two pounds. Even Vittie's character must be worth more than that." "Vittie," said Lalage, "appears to be the very kind of man we want to get at. I've been reading his speeches." "I expect," I said, "that you'll enjoy O'Donoghue too.
She always smoothes her apron with both hands when she sees him, which is a sign that she would like to do him a bodily injury if she could. On this occasion, alter smoothing her apron and shoving a protruding hair pin into the back of her hair, she marched out of the room. "McMeekin tells me," I said to Titherington, "that Vittie has got the influenza. Is it true?"
I told her that I'd do anything I conscientiously could to lull off Vittie, but that I had my duty to perform. And I have, you know. I'm clearing the air." "It wants it badly. McMeekin told me two days ago he had forty cases and there are evidently a lot more now." "I'm not talking about microbes," said Lalage. "What I'm talking about is the moral 'at'." I thought for a moment. "titude?"
"I see by this letter," I said, "that I am pledging myself to support some very radical temperance legislation." "You're giving them to understand that you pledge yourself. There's a difference, as I told you before." "I may find myself in rather an awkward position if " "You'll, be in a much awkwarder one if Vittie gets those votes and lets O'Donoghue in!"
"Anyhow," I said, "it's the proper thing, the usual thing to do?" "O'Donoghue has done it, and I expect that ruffian Vittie will have to in the end, little as he'll like it." I signed. "Here," said Titherington, "is the letter of the joint committee of the Temperance Societies." "There appear to be twenty-three of them," I said, glancing at the signatures.
I signed because I didn't think a girl like that would be likely to say anything which Vittie would regard as a libel. He's a thick-skinned hound." "She once libelled twenty-three bishops, she and Hilda and Selby-Harrison between them." "After all," said Titherington, "you can say pretty near anything you like at an election. Nobody minds. I think we're pretty safe.
But I'd be afraid of their going back on us and supporting Vittie. Anyhow, if these women are the right sort they'll pursue Vittie round and round the constituency and yell at him every time he opens his mouth." I took the letter from Titherington. It was headed A.S.P.L. and signed Lalage Beresford. "Are you quite sure," I said, "that the A.S.P.L. is a woman's suffrage society?"
