"I am sorry," she said, with a friendly smile that might have disarmed prejudice, "but in the hurry of my departure from London I packed my cards in my registered baggage. My name is Helen Wynton." The eyeglasses went up once more. "Do you spell it with an I? Are you one of the Gloucestershire Wintons?" "No. I live in town; but my home is in Norfolk."
Trenor, whose present misery was being fed by a rapidly rising tide of reminiscence; "last year, when he came, Gus forgot all about his being here, and brought home the Ned Wintons and the Farleys five divorces and six sets of children between them!" "When is Lady Cressida going?" Lily enquired. Mrs. Trenor cast up her eyes in despair. "My dear, if one only knew!
Corbet might possibly never even have heard of his name, although in his own county it was well known as having been for generations that of the principal conveyancer and land-agent of -shire; that his wife had been a member of the old knightly family of Holsters, and that he himself was descended from a younger branch of the South Wales De Wintons, or Wilkins; that Ellinor, as his only child, would naturally inherit all his property, but that in the meantime, of course, some settlement upon her would he made, the nature of which might be decided nearer the time of the marriage.
It was a hot corner for the Wintons and Dorsets." "Were you? I'm sorry." Isabel ran her eyes with a touch of whimsical solicitude over Hyde's tall easy figure and the exquisite keeping of his white clothes. Difficult to connect him with the bloody disarray of war! "Were you too left lying between the lines?" "With a good many others, English and German.
"Possibly," said Val. "Was he in the Dorchesters?" asked Rowsley much more interested than his brother, no doubt because he was not so hungry as Val, who was giving all his attention to his supper. "No, in the Winchesters," said Isabel. "Do I mean the Winchesters, Val? What was Major Clowes' old regiment?" "Clowes was in the Wintons." Isabel nodded. "Then so was the cousin.
Lady Maria was a goodnatured girl, and meant no harm in repeating her father's words; touched up, it is true, by some of the dislike she herself felt to the intimate alliance proposed, which would make her sister-in-law to the daughter of an "upstart attorney," "not received in the county," "always trying to push his way into the set above him," "claiming connection with the De Wintons of Castle, who, as she well knew, only laughed when he was spoken of, and said they were more rich in relations than they were aware of" "not people papa would ever like her to know, whatever might be the family connection."
He has caught the Endymion, and has killed about half her crew doing it. Milton has finally reported from Venus, after being out of touch for five days. He trailed the Wintons into Thalleron swamp. They crashed him there, but he won out and has what he went after. And just now I got a flash from Fletcher, in the asteroid belt. I think that he has finally traced that dope line.
The Dorsets and Wintons had gone over the top together, and he had been left behind with a bullet in his chest. I was done to the world, but he had some brandy left and shared it with me. If it had not been for Hyde I should never have brought Dale in." "Well, I've never heard that before," said Rowsley to his fourth egg.
And Laura says he was out there when the Wintons were in the next bit of trench north of the Dorchesters. He was there when when you were wounded." Such was Val Stafford's modesty that in the family circle it was not in etiquette to refer in other terms to that famous occasion.
Soon they fell in with some lively people from home, the Wintons, who, being a peg or two lower than the Heths in the gay world, made it almost indelicately plain that they were completely unaware of anything's having happened. To Paris also came J. Forsythe Avery.
