"Dinner!" exclaimed Jack Romayne, who had meantime drawn near, determined to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of this girl as a man familiar with the decencies of polite society. "Dinner! It smells so good and we are desperately hungry." "Yes," cried Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "My brother declared he was quite faint more than an hour ago, and now I am sure he is." "Fairly ravenous."
Waring-Gaunt, I think I must tell you that your husband is making love to me so that I am quite losing my head." "Poor things," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "How could either of you help it?" "Why is it that all the nice men are married?" inquired Nora. "I beg your pardon, Miss Nora," said Jack in a pained voice. "I mean why I'm afraid I can't fix that up, can I?" she said, appealing to Mrs.
Jane's radiant smile transformed her face. "Yes, I think so," she said simply. "But we must hurry. Oh, here is Papa." Dr. Brown hailed Larry with acclaim. "This is very kind of you, my dear boy; you have saved us a tedious wait." "We must hurry, Papa," said Jane, cutting him short. "Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, who has come for us in her car, has left her brother ill at home."
Waring-Gaunt, "I declare you have actually grown taller and grown a great many other things that I may not tell you. What have they done to you at that wonderful school? Did you love it?" The girl flushed with a quick emotion. "Oh, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, it was really wonderful. I had such a good time and every one was lovely to me. I did not know people could be so kind.
We are all positively overwhelmed with work. But, oh, do go away, or I shall certainly run from it all." "I am going in to get your mother to send you both out. Have you had a gun this fall? I don't believe you have," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "Not once. Yes, once. I had a chance at a hawk that was paying too much attention to our chickens. No, don't go in, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, I beg of you.
Don't tell Jack everything about Kathleen. There are certain things we keep to ourselves, you know. I don't tell Tom everything." Jane opened her eyes. "I have not told Jane yet, Sybil," said Jack quietly. "She doesn't know, though perhaps she has guessed how dear to me Kathleen is." "Had you not heard?" inquired Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "No, I only came last night, you see."
But it is good to get back home again to them all, and to you, and to all this." She waved her hand to the forest about her. "And who are up here to-day, and what are you doing?" inquired Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "In the meantime I am preparing dinner," said the girl with a laugh.
Waring-Gaunt. "Certainly you can. What you really mean is, why do all married men become so nice?" said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "Oh, thank you, the answer is so obvious. Do you know, I feel wild to-day." "And so do I," replied Kathleen, suddenly waking to life. "It is the wonderful air, or the motor, perhaps."
Say," he continued with a shyness not usual with him, "would you mind introducing me to the party?" "Come along," said Larry. The introduction, however, was performed by Jane, who apparently considered Mr. Wakeham as being under her protection. "Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, this is Mr. Wakeham. Mr. Wakeham is from Chicago, but," she hastened to add, "he knows some friends of ours in Winnipeg."
With a wide smile upon his face he stood gazing down upon the enthusiastic osculation of the young ladies. "Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, this is Jane," cried Nora. "Mrs. Waring-Gaunt has come to meet you and take you home," she added to Jane. "You know we have no car of our own." "How do you do," said Jane, smiling at Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "I can't get at you very well just now.
