You are forgetting that it is my privilege to say no to the am in search of happiness. I too " He stood up, leaning far over the table, a penetrating look in his eyes. "How long have you known, Bedelia?" "Since the second day out on the Jupiter," she replied serenely. He slowly resumed his seat, overwhelmed by the sickening realisation that his bubble had burst. She had known from the beginning.
"Impossible!" cried Mrs. Gaston. "Don't be silly. To-morrow will be time enough. Calm yourself, my dear." "To-morrow at sunrise," cried Bedelia enthusiastically. "It is already planned, Mr. Schmidt. I have engaged an automobile in anticipation of this very emergency. The trains are not safe. To- morrow I fly again. This letter is from the little stenographer in Paris.
Save your confessions for the magistrate. Tell him the truth, Mr. Schmidt. I am content to wait." He stared for an instant, perplexed. "See here, Miss Guile, Bedelia, I've just got to tell you something that " "You may tell me at Interlaken," she interrupted, and she was now quite visibly agitated. "At Interlaken? Then you mean to carry out your plan to spend " "Sh! Here they come.
I'm going out to search the highways and by-ways for Bedelia," said Robin, a gay light in his eyes. "By the way, did you, by any chance, learn the name of the 'andsome young gent as went away with 'er, 'Obbs?" "I did not, sir. I stood at his helbow for quite some time at the Gare St. Lazare and the only words he spoke that I could hear distinctly was 'wot the devil do you mean, me man?
"Mr. White is no longer here," she announced. His heart leaped. "Then I, at least, have nothing to fear," he said quickly. She ignored the banality. "He left this afternoon. Very well, let us take the seats over there. I rather like the shall I say shadows?" "I too object to the limelight, Bedelia," he said, offering her his arm. "You are not to call me Bedelia," she said, holding back.
"Then why do you call me Bedelia?" she asked, shaking her head. "If you feel that way about it, I I humbly implore you to overlook my freshness," he cried in despair. "Will you get out here, Mr. Schmidt?" She pressed a button and the car swung alongside the curb. "When am I to see you again?" he asked, holding out his hand.
He received no response to his polite greeting, for the Prince was staring at Bedelia as if stupefied. The millionaire's face was very red with mortification as he turned it away. "He he doesn't recognise you," gasped Robin in amazement. "Who?" she asked, her eyes searching the room with an eager, inquiring look. "Your father," he said. She gave him a ravishing, delighted smile.
"I will promise to see you in Vienna " "I intend to see you every day," he declared, "from now till the end of time." "Really, Mr. Schmidt, you " "If there is one thing I despise beyond all reason, Bedelia, it is the name of 'Schmidt'! I wish you wouldn't call me by that name." "I can't just call you 'Mister," she demurred. "Call me Rex for the present," said he.
Even at that, he would be content, for Bedelia was proof against titles. If she loved him, it would be for himself. She would scorn the crown and mock the throne, and they would go away together and live happily ever afterward, as provided by the most exacting form of romance. And Blithers? What a joke it would be on Blithers if he gave up the throne!
Believe me, dear Rex, to be your most devoted, though whimsical, Bedelia." He was content with this. Deep down in his heart he thanked her for running away at such an opportune time! The situation was immeasurably simplified. He had laid awake nights wondering how he could steal into his own domain with her as a companion and still put off the revelation that he was not yet ready to make.
