Pallant had frankly admitted to me, that she had been trained, and such an education, to say nothing of such a performer, justified a hope of greater returns.
His father was dead, and though a selfish bachelor, little versed in the care of children, I was considerably counted on by his mother to see that he didn't smoke nor flirt too much, nor yet tumble off an Alp. Mrs. Pallant immediately guessed that his mother was my sister Charlotte, whom she spoke of familiarly, though I knew she had scarce seen her.
I've had the same impression from you that of a disposition to 'give her away, but never yet so strong." At this Mrs. Pallant got up; she stood there looking down at me. "You make my reparation my expiation difficult!" And leaving me still more astonished she moved along the terrace. I overtook her presently and repeated her words. "Your reparation your expiation?
Pallant kept back, but for myself I quite overflowed. She let me see at any rate that her life had been a good deal what I supposed, though the terms she employed to describe it were less crude than those of my thought. She confessed they had drifted, she and her daughter, and were drifting still.
Therefore I uttered a small private cry of triumph when three weeks later we happened to be at Interlaken he reported to me that he had received a note from Miss Pallant. The form of this confidence was his enquiring if there were particular reasons why we should longer delay our projected visit to the Italian lakes.
I had been willing to bolt, but I felt slighted by the ease with which Mrs. Pallant had shown she could part with us. Archie professed no sense of a grievance, because in the first place he was shy about it and because in the second it was evidently not definite to him that he had been encouraged equipped as he was, I think, with no very particular idea of what constituted encouragement.
This is too easy, Ollyett said as he began heading the letter. 'Stop a minute, I said. 'The game is getting a little beyond us. 'Perhaps you're right, he said. 'You might waste it. At dinner, then, Sir Thomas's letter was handed round. Bat seemed to be thinking of other matters, but Pallant was very interested. 'I've got an idea, he said presently.
You'd better get away and you'd better be careful. At that moment Pallant, who had been buying picture-postcards, came out of the inn, took Sir Thomas's eye and very leisurely entered the car. It seemed to me that for one instant there was a shade of uneasiness on the baronet's grey-whiskered face. 'I hope, said Woodhouse after several miles, 'I hope he's a widower. 'Yes, said Pallant.
Moreover it was quite my opinion that he himself was too young to be a judge of enchantresses. Mrs. Pallant was right and I had given high proof of levity in regarding her, with her beautiful daughter, as a "resource." There were other resources one of which WOULD be most decidedly to clear out.
'Could you put something into The Bun to-morrow about foot-and-mouth disease in that fellow's herd? 'Oh, plague if you like, Ollyett replied. 'They're only five measly Shorthorns. I saw one lying down in the park. She'll serve as a sub-stratum of fact. 'Then, do that; and hold the letter over meanwhile. I think I come in here, said Pallant. 'Why? said I.
