Sperry turned to me when he had gone out. "That was Hawkins, Horace," he said. "You remember, don't you? The Wellses' butler." "I knew him at once." "He wrote to me asking for a position, and I got him this. Looks sick, poor devil. I intend to have a go at his chest." "How long has he been here?" "More than a week, I think." As I drank my tea, I pondered.
I let that go, and went at once to the object of our visit. Yes, he remembered the governess, knew her, as a matter of fact. The Wellses' bought a good many things there. Asked as to her telephoning, he thought it was about nine o'clock, maybe earlier. But questioned as to what she had telephoned about, he drew himself up. "Oh, see here," he said.
As it is her custom to wait up for me on those rare occasions when I spend an evening away from home, I surmised that she was comfortably asleep, and made my way to the pharmacy to which the Wellses' governess had referred. The night-clerk was in the prescription-room behind the shop.
Wells that she is going to leave her roof and live with Miss Bonner away down on the south side, and it's all because Forrest is received at the Wellses' and she is determined not to see him." The major was hard-hearted enough to say he believed that interference even on Meg's part would only make matters worse. But the captain heard of the proposed move, and then he placed in Mrs.
"Even if they are going out," she said, "it would add to the appearance of the street to leave a light or two burning. But some people have no public feeling." I made no comment, I believe. The Wellses were a young couple, with children, and had been known to observe that they considered the neighborhood "stodgy."
There is generally, in every old neighborhood, some one house on which is fixed, so to speak, the community gaze, and in our case it was on the Arthur Wellses'. It was a curious, not unfriendly staring, much I daresay like that of the old robin who sees two young wild canaries building near her. We passed the house, and went on to Mrs. Dane's.
There was not one of us, I dare say, who did not know that the Wellses had spent the preceding summer there and that Charlie Ellingham had been there, also. "Do you know that Arthur Wells is dead?" "Yes. He is dead." "Did he kill himself?" "You can't catch me on that. I don't know." Here the medium laughed. It was horrible. And the laughter made the whole thing absurd. But it died away quickly.
He had not promised not to look at her, at all events, and the thought of the fragile form he loved, shivering, possibly, in that bitter blast, had lured him from the Lambert to within sight of the Wellses' door-way.
"My father has a little place in the neighbourhood, and my grandfather lives here too." "Wells," the Tenor repeated. "I seem to know the name." "Oh, doubtless," the Boy observed. "This is a hotbed of Wellses. Israfil," he pleaded he was nestling beside the Tenor in the dim half light, watching the latter smoke "Israfil, tell me all about yourself?
Since then she has been welcome to flog and hang her H.G. Wellses and Lloyd Georges by the dozen without a word of remonstrance from our plutocratic Press, provided the interest is paid punctually. Russia has been embraced in the large charity of cosmopolitan capital, the only charity that does not begin at home. *The Russian Russians and Their Prussian Tsars.*
