As a Vyell the Vyells were, before all things, critical she knew it to be just, as well as malicious; but as a dutiful daughter she ought to have remembered. As it was, her cool comment stung her mother to fury. "A strumpet! One that has been whipped through the public streets." There was a dreadful pause. Miss Diana, the first to recover herself, stepped back to the door and held it open.
"Lady Caroline " stammered Mrs. Harry, taken at unawares. "She has a right, naturally, to concern herself " "Does he know?" "Sir Oliver? No I believe not. . . . You see, the Vyells are a great family, and 'family' to them is a tremendous affair a religion almost. Whatever touches one touches all; especially when that one happens to be the head of his house."
We're Vyells. And here's my point Oliver is a Vyell. He may be strong-willed, but did mamma happen to talk at all about the 'Family'?" "I think," answered Ruth with another faint flash of mirth, "it was I who asked her questions about it." Diana threw out her hands, laughing. "You are invincible! Well, I cannot hate you; and I've given you my warning.
Oh, yes, the Vyells can be coarse! while as for the Petts but you have heard dear mamma." They talked together for a few minutes after this. But their talk shall not be reported: for with what do you suppose it dealt? With Dress. As I am a living man, with Dress.
"By God, Ruth, it shall never happen again!" She winced as he spoke her name, and her colour rose. "Please make no promise in haste," she said. "Excuse me; when a man takes an oath for life, the quicker he's through with it the better at least that's the way with us Vyells. It's trifles like getting drunk, for instance we do deliberately. Believe me, child, I have a will of my own."
" you'd have found that that a good deal of kissing goes by favour, ma'am." "H'mph!" said Lady Caroline when Mrs. Harry had done laughing. "The child will not lack protection, of course. Whether 'tis to their credit or not I won't say, but the Vyells have always shown a conscience for er obligations of this kind."
