"We were just talking about Ronnie Storre's music, Canon," said the Duchess; "I consider it just perfectly glorious." "It's a great talent, isn't it, Canon," put in Joan briskly, "and of course it's a responsibility as well, don't you think? Music can be such an influence, just as eloquence can; don't you agree with me?"
Then he dropped behind, and Dick flung himself into a corner of his compartment, with a face of comic despair. "Merciful heavens," he said, "slay that Infant!" Meanwhile Ronnie was saying to a porter: "When is the next train for town?" "One fifty-five, sir." "Then I have no chance now of catching the three o'clock from town, for Hollymead?" "Not from town, sir.
Presently his vision cleared a little and he read more easily. Suddenly he laughed, a short, rather mirthless, laugh. "What's up?" inquired Aubrey Treherne. "Oh, nothing much; only I suppose I'm in for a lecture again! Helen says: 'Ronald' " Ronnie lifted his eyes from the paper. "What a nuisance it is to own that kind of name.
A man who has yielded himself to unrestrained wrong-doing, suffers with a sharpness of cold misery unknown to the brave true heart, however hard or lonely may be his honourable way. Before finally reading his own letter to Helen, Aubrey read again her pathetic note to her husband. "Ronnie, my own! "Excuse pencil and bad writing. Nurse has propped me up in bed, but not so high as I should like.
She wished she could be sure of having time to run up again to the nursery with final instructions to Nurse. Supposing baby woke, just as the carriage arrived, and the first sound Ronnie heard was the hungry wailing of his little son! Passing into the hall, she stood listening at the foot of the stairs. All was quiet on the upper landing. She returned to the sitting-room, and rang the bell.
Attray, "whatever their own home life may be, as landlords and neighbours they are considerate and obliging, so I don't want to quarrel with them. Besides, if Ronnie didn't play cards there he'd be playing somewhere else." "Not if you were firm with him," said Eleanor "I believe in being firm." "Firm? I am firm," exclaimed Mrs. Attray; "I am more than firm I am farseeing.
Ronnie, do look at those funny little wooden houses just beyond us on the esplanade. They take the place of bathing-machines, or bathing-tents, in summer. They can be hired just for the morning, or you can engage one for the whole time of your visit, and furnish it comfortably. Don't you think it is quite a good idea? And people give them such grand names.
He thought she meant that he had not known how long the parting would seem, how insistent would be the need of each other. "I should not have gone, if I had known," he added, tenderly. "I knew you wouldn't, Ronnie. But I was all right." "Of course you were all right. You know, you said we were a healthy couple, so I suppose there was no need to worry or to expect anything else. Was there?
Now, where is " He began searching in the empty envelope. With a quick stealthy movement, Aubrey put his foot upon the note. "It is not here," said Ronnie, shaking out the thin sheets one by one, and tearing open the envelope. "She has forgotten it, after all. Well I should think it will keep. It can hardly have been important."
Rather than lose that, I will never marry at all!" She spoke with vehemence, but Ronnie was not carried away by it. "Baring will have the right to know all your secrets," he said gloomily. "Oh, no, no!" exclaimed Hope impulsively. "He would never expect that. He knows that we are twins, and there is no tie in the world that is quite like that."
