His relationship to the Head of the House of Coombe made it unlikely that gossip should choose him as the exact young man to whom could be related stories of his distinguished relative, Mrs. Gareth-Lawless and her girl. But through the years Helen Muir had unavoidably heard things she thought particularly hideous. And here the child was again "just the same." "She has only grown up."
"Some one who is asking about Mrs. Gareth-Lawless. He doesn't seem satisfied with what I tell him. I took the liberty of saying your lordship was here and perhaps you'd see him." "Bring him upstairs." It was in fact a man who knew Lord Coombe well enough to be aware that he need make no delay. "It was one of the worst, my lord," he said in answer to Coombe's first question.
"One of the loveliest creatures I ever saw was a Mrs. Gareth-Lawless," he had said. "Are you related to her?" "I am her daughter," Robin had answered and with a slightly startled sensation he had managed to slip into amiably deft generalities while he had secretly wondered how much his grandmother knew or did not know.
Did your grace " he checked himself feeling that he was perhaps somewhat exceeding Bond Street limits. "Yes. I saw her," said the Duchess. "If these are for sale I will take them both." "I'm selling a good many of them. People buy them because the likeness makes them a sort of curiosity. Mrs. Gareth-Lawless is a very modern lady and she is quite amused."
How she hoped that she might make Lady Etynge like her. After tea was over, Lady Etynge spoke pleasantly to Fraulein Hirsch. "I know that you wanted to register a letter. There is a post-office just around the corner. Would you like to go and register it while I take Miss Gareth-Lawless upstairs? You have seen the rooms. You will only be away a few minutes."
"When Helene comes, you must meet. If you like each other, as I feel sure you will, and if Mrs. Gareth-Lawless does not object if it remains only a matter of being suitable you are suitable, my dear you are suitable." She touched Robin's hand with the light pat which was a caress, and the child was radiant. "Oh, you are kind to me!" The words broke from her involuntarily.
It was not the kind of a thing a little chap usually feels it was something different something more. And to-night it actually all came back. I saw her again, mother." He was so absorbed that he did not take in her involuntary movement. "You saw her again! Where?" "The old Duchess of Darte was giving a small dance for her. Hallowe took me " "Does the Duchess know Mrs. Gareth-Lawless?"
She believed that Miss Gareth-Lawless and Helene would be delighted with each other, if they met, and her impression was that Lady Etynge privately hoped they would become friends.
"Feather" who was then "Amabel" thought Robert Gareth-Lawless incredible good luck. He only drifted into her summer by merest chance because a friend's yacht in which he was wandering about "came in" for supplies.
Before he had been married for a year there began to creep into the mind of Bob Gareth-Lawless a fearsome doubt remotely hinting that she might end by becoming an awful bore in the course of time particularly if she also ended by being less pretty.
