Gareth-Lawless "got her wondrous clothes from Helene" but that he couldn't. His name was Harrowby. Another was the Starling who was a Miss March who had, some years earlier, led the van of the girls who prostrated their relatives by becoming what was then called "emancipated"; the sign thereof being the demanding of latchkeys and the setting up of bachelor apartments.
She watched him as he walked and she knew he was going to say more. She also wondered what curious thing it might be. She had said to herself that what he said and did would be entirely detached from ordinary or archaic views. Also she had guessed that it might be extraordinary perhaps as extraordinary as his long intimacy with Mrs. Gareth-Lawless.
Gareth-Lawless was also, it may be stated, of the fibre which must live on the right side of the street or dissolve into nothingness since as nearly nothingness as an embodied entity can achieve had Nature seemingly created her at the outset.
Gareth-Lawless' door and visiting cards bearing the names of acquaintances much to be desired were left upon the salver presented by Jennings. Again, as a result of this circumstance, Feather employed some laudable effort in her desire to give her own glass house the conservatory aspect. Her little parties became less noisy, if they still remained lively.
"Her last words to Robin were to warn her not to come to her for refuge 'if she got herself into a mess. She is in what Mrs. Gareth-Lawless would call 'a mess." "It is what a good many people would call it," the Duchess said. "And she does not even know that her tragedy would express itself in a mere vulgar colloquialism with a modern snigger in it.
There would be unpleasantnesses because there was no denying that the trades-people had been played tricks with. Mrs. Gareth-Lawless was only one of a lot of pretty daughters whose father was a poor country doctor in Jersey. He had had "a stroke" himself and his widow would have nothing to live on when he died. That was what Mrs. Lawless had to look to.
Gareth-Lawless, it was said, must be renewed in some such mysterious morning way, as she merely grew prettier as she neared thirty and passed it. Women did in these days! Which last phrase had always been a useful one, probably from the time of the Flood.
"But I believe I became an old man before I was thirty. I have grown no older in that which is really age since then." In the moment's silence which followed, his glance met Mademoiselle Valle's and fixed itself. "I am not old enough or young enough to be enamoured of Mrs. Gareth-Lawless' little daughter," he said. "YOU need not be told that.
Perhaps it was necessary for her to seek some special knowledge among the guests Mrs. Gareth-Lawless received. But training, having developed in her alertness of mind, led her presently to see that it was not Mrs. Gareth-Lawless he was chiefly interested in but a member of her family the very small family which consisted of herself and her daughter.
Gareth-Lawless" and her situation were pathetic. Her acquaintances would sympathetically have discussed her helplessness and absolute lack of all resource. So very pretty, so young, the mother of a dear little girl left with no income! How very sad! What COULD she do?
