Wiggleswick gave her to understand that, thanks to his master's angelic disposition and his own worthiness, he always had a good time. "Now that he's married there will have to be a few changes in household arrangements," said Zora. "What changes?" "There will be a cook and parlor maid and regular hours, and a mistress to look after things." Wiggleswick put his cunning gray head on one side.
The more he reflected on Emmy's letter and on Wiggleswick's views on women the less did he agree with Wiggleswick.
"Of course he did," he replied with an indulgent smile, while the light of sportive fancy gleamed behind his blear eyes. "He looks on me as a father, he does, ma'am. 'Wiggleswick, says he, 'I'm going to be married. 'I'm delighted to hear it, sir, says I. 'A man needs a woman's 'and about him, says I." "When did he tell you this?" Wiggleswick searched his inventive memory.
Even then she would have been annoyed. She profoundly disapproved of Emmy's marriage to Septimus, whom she characterized as a doddering idiot. Sypher defended his friend warmly. He also defended Wiggleswick at whose ways and habits the good lady expressed unrestrained indignation. She could not have spoken more disrespectfully of Antichrist.
He looked at her keenly to see whether this expression of loyal admiration of his new mistress had taken effect, and then continued. "And then he says to me, 'Wiggleswick, there ain't going to be no grand wedding. You know me. And I does, ma'am. The outlandish things he does, ma'am, would shock an alligator. 'I should forget the day, says he. 'I should lose the ring.
Wiggleswick was telling me about one the other day. A friend of his burgled it and got six years. A man called Barkus." "But what was the name of the hotel?" "Ah! that I forget," said Septimus. "It had something to do with Sir Walter Scott. Let me see. Lockhart no, Lockhart's is a different place.
Whereupon she explained the uses of a cullender, and gave Wiggleswick to understand that she was a woman of her word, and that an undrained cabbage would be the signal for the execution of her threat. From the first she had assumed despotic power over Wiggleswick, of whose influence with his master she had been absurdly jealous.
To Wiggleswick: "Bring clothes and railway carriage diagrams secretly to Club." Having dispatched these, he went into the coffee-room and ordered breakfast. The waiters served him in horrified silence. A gaunt member, breakfasting a few tables off, asked for the name of the debauchee, and resolved to write to the Committee.
She loved Septimus, she admitted, but his effectuality in any sphere of human endeavor was unimaginable. Could anything good come out of Nazareth? About half an hour later the goddess herself arrived, shown in by Wiggleswick, who had been snatching the pipe of the over-driven by the front-gate.
"Oh, my dear friend, what is the matter?" "I must go back to England. I came to say good-bye. I've had this from Wiggleswick." He handed her an open letter. She waved it away. "That's of no consequence. Sit down. You're ill. You have a high temperature. You should be in bed." "I've been," said Septimus. "Four days." "And you've got up in this state? You must go back at once.
