Carrie made an immense effort to fight off that feeling of faintness, saying jerkily: "Oh, well, I'm off with Wilf, you know." But the words seemed to echo in some great, vague place a long distance away. The Benefit Concert During the evening and many hours of the night Caroline remained in a white heat of anger and hurt pride which left no room for regret.
No doubt you understand. 'I will come as soon as I can, Wilfrid said. And he added, 'Has she spoken to you about anything? 'I wish she had. She will speak neither to me nor to anyone else. It is too bad, Wilf, if you let her fret herself into a fever. She is just the girl to do it, you know. She nodded, smiled, and went off.
The band played outside to-night not in the hall and a woman with a good voice strained by open-air concerts during the past summer was singing a song in which the words "love" and "roses" seemed to come with more frequency and on higher notes than the rest, so that they reached the extremist limits of the promenade, floating above the heads of Caroline and Wilf as they sat extended on canvas chairs watching those who walked slowly up and down.
They were uttered, however, and he was glad of it. A purpose thus formulated he would not swerve from. Of that his father too was well aware. Mr. Athel rose from his seat, held the rolled-up magazine in both hands behind his back, and took a turn across a few yards of lawn. Wilfrid sat still, leaning forward, watching his father's shadow. The shadow approached him. 'Wilf, is there no via media?
"I tell you, that man can smell when there's going to be land in the market, if there's anything to be made out of it. Sort of second smell. Ha! ha!" Carrie laughed. "Go on! You really are a one, Wilf!" But her encouraging laughter was a veil to hide her thoughts the old veil used a thousand thousand times since life and love began. "Look here, Carrie," Wilf began again, suddenly serious.
What Wilf says is, of course, nothing to the point; he protests that her attitude has been irreproachable. 'Especially in making assignations for six o'clock in the morning. 'Well, well, that is merely granting the issue; you are a trifle' illogical, Edith. 'No doubt I am. You, on the other hand, seem to be very much of Wilf's opinion. I am sorry that I can't do as you wish.
"It it doesn't look like anything earthly. You must do it again, Wilfred." "Don't you, Wilf." Wilfred's sister leaned back in her chair, tilting it on its hind legs. "You have nothing to do with Wilfred's work, Avice. Go on with your French." "Done it, thanks," said Avice. "And I suppose I can speak to my own brother if I like." "No, you can't in lesson time," said the teacher.
Athel, having pronounced a grace, mentioned that he thought of running up to town; did anybody wish to give him a commission? Mrs. Rossall looked thoughtful, and said she would make a note of two or three things. 'I haven't much faith in that porridge regimen, Wilf, remarked the master of the house, as he helped himself to chicken and tongue. 'We are not Highlanders.
You'd not have had to chuck me over then, to better yourself." She was weeping now very grieved to hurt him, and yet, beneath her softness, an iron determination to do what was best for herself; no thought of sacrifice because of his pain entering her head. "I'm so sorry, Wilf. I'm so sorry," she murmured. But he felt she was implacable.
His father paused by him on the way to the carriage. 'What do you propose to do with yourself, Wilf? lie asked. 'Ride, I think. 'Do. Go over to Hilstead and lunch there. Capital lunch they give you at the inn; the last time I was there they cooked me one of the best chops I ever ate. Oberon wants exercise; make a day of it. 'Very well.
