All was forgotten save that moment of parting; all the old intimacies had dropped from mind, banished by the sunlit god she had met this day.... Bedient's defect would be quite as intrinsic as the Other's if he went to Wordling now.
She could not see him asking this; and yet, regarded as a fiction plunge, it seemed bigger and more formidable than Wordling could devise. This must wait. This must prove. If he went away enough! She had been hasty and implacable once this time she would wait. Beth would have liked to talk with David Cairns, but she could not bring up such a subject.
Wordling, he would have imagined some enchanted Dolores.... "How good of you to come! Just wait one moment." The door opened partially after a few seconds, and he caught the gleam of a bare arm, but the actress had disappeared when he entered. Bedient was in a room where a torrential shower had congealed into photographs.
"I'll appear to regard it as a perfectly lady-like party, which it was," she mused, in the dingy interminable stairways, the elevator being an uncertain quantity "and run no risk of being thrown three nights." "Beth, you're looking really right," Mrs. Wordling enthused. "So good of you," said Beth.
Wordling," Bedient said. "I should have had the instinct to spare her from any such comments. I didn't know the laws of the park. It was a perfect night. We talked by the fountain. She was the first to suggest that we recross the street and there we were locked in." Cairns asked several questions. Once he started impatiently to say that Mrs.
"Crowds are cruel," Bedient mused. Cairns had found it hard not to be spiteful toward one whom he considered had abused his friend's fineness.... They dined at the Club. The talk turned to a much fairer thing. Bedient was detailing the plan with some spirit, when Cairns' hand fell swiftly upon his arm.... At a near table just behind, Mrs. Wordling was sitting with a gentleman.
"Far too warm for shawls," he laughed. "I was only getting it straight in my mind before beginning. You know it's tricksome for one accustomed mainly to men's affairs.... There's one I won't pinch and the second anytime you can't find a maid, Mrs. Wordling I'm in the Club a good deal there they are, if they don't fly open " and his hands fell with a pat on each of her shoulders. Facing him, Mrs.
"I can't help it," she said at last, emerging from the inner room, unhooked.... "I've been trying to get a maid up here for the past half-hour.... I think there's only three or four between the shoulder-blades won't you do them for me?" She backed up to him bewitchingly.... Mrs. Wordling was in the twenty-nine period.
Dear little Vina is consecrated to her 'Stations' for two years more. Eliminate me as, forborne, a spinster.... Yet you told me two or three days ago that you wouldn't be surprised if your friend took his lady back " "That may be true, Beth," he interrupted. "But I spoke hastily. It sounds crude and an infringement now. I really didn't know Bedient " "When you invited your guests Mrs. Wordling?"
Wordling exclaimed, and to Bedient added: "It's for the road. Isn't it a winner?" "Yes, I do like it," Bedient said. Beth was glad that he didn't enlarge. "I must be on my way, then," she said. "I'm going into the country to-morrow for the week-end.... We're getting the old house fixed up for the winter. Mother writes that the repairs are on in full blast, and that I'm needed.
