"It's this, in a word: Viv would like to have Miss Castleton over to spend a month or so with her after the well, after the house is open." He came near to saying after the engagement was announced. Sara's decision was made at once. Her face hardened. "That is quite out of the question, Leslie," she said. "We can discuss it, can't we?" he demanded loftily. She did not condescend to reply.
Frank: "But I say, Viv, about this Rossiter man. He seems awfully gone on you...?" It's only friendship. I really don't see them often but he came to my assistance once at a critical time. And now that Praddy's all-powerful parlour-maid's definitely left us, I will tell you my story."
If it came to the point where I decided to marry without love, 'pon my soul, Viv, I believe I'd pick you out as the victim." "Wonderful combination!" she said with a frank laugh. "The quintessence of 'no love lost. But to resume! Do you know that people are saying you are to be married before the winter is over?" "Let 'em say it," he said gruffly.
"Good heavens, Viv!" he cried uncomfortably. "I I had no idea you cared " "Cared!" she cried, as he paused. "I don't care two pins for you in that way. But I would have married you, just the same, because you are worth marrying. I'd very much rather have you for a husband than any man I know, but as for loving you! Pooh!
Vivie as her daughter was assured of their respect, and by her polite behaviour won their liking as well. "You know, Viv, old girl," said Mrs. Warren one day, "if you played your cards all right, this pretty place might be yours after I'd gone. Why don't yer pick up a decent husband somewhere and drop all this foolishness about the Suffragettes? He needn't know too much about me, d'yer see?
"I can't say, sir, I'm sure," he replied, pursing up his lips. "What is the meaning " began Mr. Sagittarius. "I'm not aware that " started Madame. The Prophet darted to the library door and opened it. "Pray, pray come in here," he hissed. "My grandmother! Softly!" "But the old la " "Hush, please!" "I must remark, Mr. Viv " "Tsh! Tsh! Mr. Ferdinand, wait in the hall.
"And you deny the fluctuating charge?" "Most positively. I can afford to be honest with you, Viv. You are a corker. I love Hetty Castleton with all my soul." She leaned back in her chair. "Then why don't you dignify your soul by being honest with HER?" "What do you mean?" For a half-minute she was silent. "Are you and I of the same stripe, after all?
"See here, Viv, what the dickens are you driving at? I'm not in love with Sara not in the least, and " He checked himself sharply. "What an ass I am! You're guying me." "In any event, I am right about Hetty," she said, leaning forward, her manner quite serious. "If it will ease your mind," he said stiffly, "I plead guilty with all my heart." She favoured him with a slight frown of annoyance.
Then came from the mounted men another wild outburst as they all yelled together, "Viva el General Santa Coloma viv a." The other three men then rushed from the kitchen, and in excited tones began to ask if anything fresh had happened. Meanwhile I was left standing at the door by myself.
"But, ma'am, Mr. Viv " "That'll do. If I have any more of your impertinence I'll make you repent of it. You are evidently not aware who I am." The Prophet, by the hat-rack, did not fail to hear a new note in the deep contralto of Madame, a note of triumph, a trumpet note of profound conceit.
