Then I should like to know how your second wife what do you say? "Troubled, indeed! I never troubled you, Caudle. No; it's you who've troubled me; and you know it; though like a foolish woman I've borne it all, and never said a word about it. But it CAN'T last that's one blessing!
"You don't make a very noble figure, just now, do you?" she asked, with careful deliberation. "You were ready to sell yourself for Miss Hugonin's money, weren't you? And now you must take her without the money. Poor Felix! Ah, you poor, petty liar, who've over-reached yourself so utterly!" And again Kathleen began to laugh, but somewhat shrilly, somewhat hysterically.
"But what sort of a fellow am I to be showing myself there among all the people who've been talking about me and the people up at Fairly!" Robert burst out in horror of the prospect. "I shall be a sight among the people. Percy, upon my honour, I don't think I well can. I'll read the Bible at home if you like." "No; you'll do penance," said Major Waring. "Are you meaning it?"
And Dempster, I understand, has left his wife pretty nearly all his property to do as she likes with; that isn't behaving like such a very bad husband. I don't believe Mrs. Dempster can have had so much provocation as they pretended. I've known husbands who've laid plans for tormenting their wives when they're underground tying up their money and hindering them from marrying again.
Or at least help explain it." He nodded. "And the people who've been trying to grab me very probably are doing it for exactly the same reason." He nodded again. "That's almost certain." "Do you think the eggheads might already have figured out what the connection is?" The Commissioner shook his head. "If they had, we'd be doing something about it. The Federation Council is very nervous!"
"Unless you want to switch me off the subject of " "The Poor Dear? No, indeed. But you couldn't be expected to understand, not being a chaplain's wife at Monte Carlo. You see, they hear we're kind, so they call, and then begin to cry and offer me pawn tickets as security." "Who are 'they'?" "Oh, poor creatures seldom poor dears who've lost, you know. As I suppose your one has?"
"Great Alexander, famed commander, wept and made a pother, At conquering only half the world, but Drake had conquer'd t'other; And Hercules to brink of seas! "Oh !" And clapping both hands to the back of his neck, the schoolmaster began dancing frantically about, while his boys broke out tittering, "O! the ochidore! look to the blue ochidore! Who've put ochidore to maister's poll!"
You say you never knew anyone to do as I'm doing. Very well. But how many girls have you known who have succeeded?" Cyrilla hesitatingly confessed that she had known none. "Yet you've known scores who've tried." "But they didn't fail because they didn't work enough. Many of them worked too much." Mildred laughed. "How do you know why they failed?" said she. "You haven't thought about it as I have.
"That's why he gets such a hold of one; we're just a parcel of helpless, miserable wretches, who've got on his nerves and forced him to help us. Do you suppose, if this beastly old tramp went down this minute, that he'd shed a tear for any of us? Not he!" She paused a moment; then she said, with a kind of snarl, "He's got his girl. He's left her behind there, and his heart with her. Oh, don't cry!
We married men have to put up with what we can get: all the prizes are for the clever chaps who've kept a free foot. Let me light a cigar, will you? I've had a beastly day of it." He drew up in the shade of the village street, and passed the reins to her while he held a match to his cigar.
