That, and some talk I overheard her and Doctor Bayliss havin' one time when they were in the other room my room together. I had stepped out for a minute and when I came back, I came in this door instead of the other. They were in the other room talkin' and he was beggin' her not to stay somewhere any more. It wasn't a fit place for her to be, he said; her reputation would be ruined.
She's got the queerest notions about love she picked 'em out o' they old books an' she'll 'ave to find out they's more lies than truth. Love's a poor 'oldin' for most folks it don't last long enough." Mr. Bayliss permitted himself to smile, as he took his hat, and prepared to go. "I'm sure you're quite right, Miss Priday!" he said "you speak er most sensibly!
"Thank you," she said. "I will accept it. Thank you very much." I was staggered, but I recovered sufficiently to tell her she was quite welcome. She turned to go. Then she turned back. "Doctor Bayliss asked me to play tennis with him tomorrow morning," she said. "May I?" "May you? Why, of course you may, if you wish, I suppose. Why in the world do you ask my permission?"
"I didn't do anything for you, Hen," Prescott retorted, with one of his dry smiles. "You didn't?" gasped Wadleigh. "No, sir! I did it for the school. I wanted to see our team have the best possible captain and the winning eleven!" Bert and Bayliss happened to be passing the gymnasium when they heard of the selection of Wadleigh. "Bert," whispered Bayliss, "I believe you're at least half a man!"
Here my learned doctor gave his head a vigorous scratch, and said: "Well, madam, Mr. Bayliss is probably childish from age, and his severe illness makes him more so. A nervous temperament like his, affected by disease, often enfeebles the mind, as body and mind are in close relationship philosophically.
She looked at them with half-wondering, half-indifferent eyes then closed the case and gave it to Robin Clifford. "They are for your wife when you marry," she said "Please keep them." Mr. Bayliss coughed a cough of remonstrance. "Pardon me, my dear young lady, but Mr. Jocelyn was particularly anxious the pearls should be yours " She looked at him, gravely.
I mustn't stop to talk. I've got my own things to pack." She hurried to her own room and I asked no more questions just then. But I was more suspicious than ever. I remembered a question of hers the previous evening and I believed.... But, if she had gone to the Continental and seen Herbert Bayliss, what could he have told her to make her happy?
"Your action and whereabouts, generally speaking, are of no particular interest to me. I did not follow you to Paris, Doctor Bayliss." He reddened and hesitated. Then he led the way to a divan in a retired corner of the lobby and motioned to me to be seated. There he sat down beside me and waited for me to speak. I, in turn, waited for him to speak. At last he spoke.
Jimmy, leaning out the window, was amazed at a spectacle so unusual as practically to amount to a modern miracle the spectacled Bayliss running. The butler was not in the pink of condition, but he was striding out gallantly. He reached the door of Jimmy's compartment, and raised his hand. "Begging your pardon, Mr. James," he panted, "for taking the liberty, but I really couldn't!"
You are my son, but a most foolish one, if not worse, and I feel that I am under obligations to the men or boys who carried you to the horse trough and endeavored to cure you of some of your folly."
