My pleasure in marrying her will be double if my father and my sisters accept her, and I shall greatly enjoy working out the business of bringing them round." There were moments when Charles Waterlow resented the very vocabulary of his friend; he hated to hear a man talk about the "acceptance" by any one but himself of the woman he loved.
That feeling wore off; we grow reconciled to most conditions; and things became more tolerable as I grew better and joined the household. There was a wild, clever, random young man staying there, the doctor's assistant George Gordon; and there was also a young girl, Agnes Waterlow.
Flack quite grandly declared. "Well, you introduced us to Mr. Waterlow and he introduced us to to his friends," she explained, colouring, as if it were a fault for the inexactness caused by her magnanimity. "That's why I thought I ought to tell you what you'd like."
There were perhaps others behind it, but the girl hadn't yet arrived at them. Mr. Waterlow mightn't have been very much prepossessed with Mr. Flack, but he was none the less perfectly civil to him and took much trouble to show him the work he had in hand, dragging out canvases, changing lights, moving him off to see things at the other end of the great room.
He had noted in a moment how straight Francie Dosson gave it; and now, seeing her a second time, he felt her promote it in a degree which made acquaintance with her one of those "important" facts of which he had spoken to Charles Waterlow. It was in the case of such an accident as this that he felt the value of his Parisian education. It made him revel in his modern sense.
Flack explained to them that it would be idiotic to miss such an opportunity to get something at once precious and cheap; for it was well known that impressionism was going to be the art of the future, and Charles Waterlow was a rising impressionist. It was a new system altogether and the latest improvement in art.
This attempt was of course vain, and after a moment he resumed: "Will you keep me as a friend?" "Why Mr. Flack, OF COURSE I will!" cried the easy creature. "All right," he replied; and they presently overtook their companions. Gaston Probert made his plan, confiding it only to his friend Waterlow whose help indeed he needed to carry it out.
Waterlow threw down his implements and added: "And come out of this into the air." Gaston, however, was planted in his path on the way to the door. "And if she goes again and does the very same?" "The very same ?" Waterlow thought. "I mean something else as barbarous and as hard to bear." "Well," said Waterlow, "you'll at least have got rid of your family."
"Why, do you suppose if I'd known where that first visit of ours to Waterlow was going to bring you out I'd have taken you within fifty miles ?" He stopped suddenly; then in another tone: "Jerusalem, there's no one like you! And you told them it was all YOU?" "Never mind what I told them." "Miss Francie," said George Flack, "if you'll marry me I'll never ask a question again.
A most thrilling descent from an air-ship by means of a parachute was that made by Major Maitland, Commander of the British Airship Squadron, which forms part of the Royal Flying Corps. The descent took place from the Delta air-ship, which ascended from Farnborough Common. In the car with Major Maitland were the pilot, Captain Waterlow, and a passenger.
