Bundercombe sat with folded arms, with his eyes fixed upon the ceiling and an air of being altogether disinterested in the proceedings, while the three who comprised the other party whispered together. Presently Mr. Cheape rose to his feet. "Mr. Wymans," he began, punctiliously addressing the lawyer first, "and Mr. Bundercombe, my clients are only too anxious to end this unhappy matter.
Thus put, the temptation was irresistible. Besides Mrs. Dietrick, many other delightful friends lived at Wianno the Garrisons, the Chases of Rhode Island, the Wymans, the Wellingtons a most charming community. I gave Mrs. Dietrick full authority to use her judgment in every detail connected with the undertaking, and the cottage was built. Having put her hand to this plow of friendship, Mrs.
Lady Aylestone and the duchess are photographed in every conceivable pose for political purposes. Wymans, just drive around to the other side of the circle." The article appeared next day, and gave, as may be imagined, a tremendous impetus to Mr. Crewe's cause. "A new era in American politics!" "Society to take a hand in the gubernatorial campaign of Millionaire Humphrey Crewe!"
Wymans here that I was prepared to settle, but on my own terms and my own terms only. I don't want any undertaking not to molest me in the future. That isn't good enough. I want to be able to show a document such as you have there, which completely exculpates me from any charge that might at any time be brought.
Here was the palace of the Wymans, upon the laying out of the grounds of which a half million dollars had been spent; the stone wall which surrounded it was famous upon two continents, because it had cost a hundred thousand dollars. And it was to make steel rails for the Wymans that the slaves of the mills were toiling!
Thank you; that'll do nicely," he added, accepting the brandy-and-soda Captain Bannister handed him. Mr. Wymans looked on with stern disapproval and I must say I sympathized with him. Mr. Bundercombe, however, not only drained the glass with relish but accepted the outstretched hand of Captain Bannister and afterward shook hands also with Mrs. Delaporte.
However, that'll be all right, captain, only, as I say, use them a bit carefully.... Jove! Ain't he making the telephone sing!" Mr. Bundercombe added, turning to me. "I guess I'll ring off!" He put down the receiver. Once more the accustomed smile was creeping over his face. Mr. Wymans was looking dazed. The butler had entered the room with the cocktails. "Say, Paul," Mr.
I never saw so many beautiful houses or such dazzling costumes in my life." "It's very fine," said Montague. "But take it slowly and make it last. When one has got used to it, the life seems rather dull and grey." "I am invited to the Wymans' to-night," said Lucy, "to play bridge. Fancy giving a bridge party on Sunday night!" Montague shrugged his shoulders. "Cosi fan tutti," he said.
Again and again Oliver went over the situation, naming person after person who would be outraged, and describing what that person would do; there were the Wallings and the Venables and the Havens, the Vandams and the Todds and the Wymans they were all one regiment, and Montague had flung a bomb into the centre of them!
Bundercombe," he concluded, "I am afraid I must advise you, very much against my own inclinations, to settle this matter." Mr. Bundercombe left the lawyer's office thoroughly depressed. "It isn't the money!" he declared gloomily. "It's being bested by this little gang of thieves that irritates me!" "I am sure," I told him, "that Mr. Wymans' advice is sound.
