Wadsley was so fond of him that she took me on trust for his sake. I don't believe she ever suspected how little he really knew about me.
"MRS. WADSLEY. "Select Boarding-House for Ladies and Gentlemen. "Moderate Terms." "Very moderate and very select, no doubt," thought Hubert cynically. "Now is that girl making a fool of me, or is she not? All those pretty airs might so easily be put on by a clever actress. I shall find her out to-morrow.
I see in the papers that she has been singing at concerts lately; and I said to my friend Mrs. Doldrum, 'How pleased poor dear old Mr. Lalli would have been if he had known!" "He was quite an old man, I suppose?" said Mrs. Vane. "There was no talk of marriage between them of an attachment of any kind?" Mrs. Wadsley drew herself up in rather an offended manner.
She had heard the name from the Rumbolds. "I am sure I cannot say, Mrs. Vane." "Miss West was not a Roman Catholic, was she?" "Not to my knowledge," said Mrs. Wadsley with great stiffness. Flossy's questions had not impressed her favorably; but the words next uttered by her visitor did away to some extent with the bad impression. "Thank you so much, Mrs. Wadsley, for your kind information!
Lepel was very much amused. "We have no piano, and I am sure that Mrs. Wadsley would not like it." "Then will you come to my rooms at twelve o'clock to-morrow morning?" "Thank you. Oh, Mr. Lepel, I am so very, very much obliged to you!" "I have done nothing yet to merit thanks, Miss West. I shall be only glad if I can be the means of assisting a fellow-artist out of a difficulty."
Wadsley that she was the daughter of an old friend, and that he would be responsible for the payment of her board and lodging until she began to earn her own living. "He was just like a father to her," said Mrs. Wadsley confidentially; "and teach her he would, and scold her sometimes by the hour together. I assure you, Mrs. Vane, it was wonderful to see the pains that he took with her.
He was here for a very long time." "Do you know where he used to live?" "Yes, ma'am, No. , Euston Road; it's a boarding-house, kept by a Mrs. Wadsley. He died there." Quite astonished by her own success, Flossy slipped a coin into his hand and made him call her a hansom cab. She was beginning to think of speed more than of the probability of being recognised in the London streets. To Mrs.
The fact is that a relative of mine his fallen in love with Miss West, and I was asked to find out who she was and all about her. Everything I have heard is so entirely charming and satisfactory, that I shall be able to set everything right, and assure my friends that we shall be honored by an alliance with Miss West. I hope we shall see you at the wedding, Mrs. Wadsley, when it takes place."
"I did hear something of a school that she had been at," said Mrs. Wadsley, after a little reflection; "but where it was I could not exactly tell you. They were Sisters, I believe, who taught her Roman Catholics, very probably. 'St. Elizabeth's' that was the name of the school; but where it is to be found I am sure I cannot say." "At St. Elizabeth's, East Winstead?" said Mrs. Vane quickly.
