If Eugene could possibly have brought himself to offer Georgie a position in the automobile business, he knew full well the proud devil wouldn't have taken it from him; though Georgie's proud reason would not have been the one attributed to him by Eugene. George would never reach the point where he could accept anything material from Eugene and preserve the self-respect he had begun to regain.
The third hinted at legal proceedings. Total silence. The fourth demanded ten thousand dollars damages and threatened immediate suit. In answer to this last appeared the Reverend Winthrop himself. He was a fine-looking young chap with a clear eye almost as blue as Georgie's and a skin even pinker than hers, and he stood six feet five in his Oxfords and his fist looked to Tutt as big as a coconut.
Think how happy you will be not to be afraid of anything any more. Oh, Georgie, do, do!" "Why, Candace, I hardly know you," faltered Georgie; and she spoke truly, for Candace in her intense eagerness seemed to grow out of and beyond herself, and looked taller, older, quite unlike the shy Candace of every day. Then the passion of her appeal caught hold of Georgie's weakness.
The excitement and surprise were a great shock to the old man, while to Amelia they were the greatest happiness that could have come to her. Of course the first thing she did was to show Georgie's miniature, and to tell of his great accomplishments, and then she secured the promise that the Major and her brother would visit the Reverend Mr. Veal's school at the earliest possible moment.
Then we were silent for a long time. I was strangely weak and weary. The fear of death was gone now; I thought no more of even my mother. I think I was fast lapsing into unconsciousness when Georgie's voice half aroused me. "Allie! Allie!" he cried. "Wake up! You are slipping down! O, Allie, dear, do try to get up! You'll be drowned!"
Lucia was on Georgie's right, Mrs Colonel as she had decided to call herself, on his left. Everyone had a small bunch of violets in the napkin, but Lucia had the largest. She had also a footstool. "Capital good soup," remarked Mr Quantock. "Can't get soup like this at home." There was dead silence. Why was there never a silence when Olga was there, wondered Georgie.
Whichever way he turned, Georgie herded him back on to the stony path that he had been bidden to take, with the result that when Georgie finally permitted him to go into the music-room, he was athirst for the more genial companionship of the ladies. Olga got up as they entered. "Georgie's so lazy," she said, "that it's no use asking him.
It's terribly gloomy at Georgie's. But I'm going over to see the Carrolls to-morrow, and they may want to keep me " "They won't!" said Billy grimly. "WON'T?" Susan echoed, astonished. "No," Billy said with a sigh. "Mrs. Carroll's been awfully queer since since Jo, you know " "Why, Bill, she was so wonderful!" "Just at first, yes.
I can do it so well," said Mr. Pembroke. "I hope you got what you like for breakfast," said Honora to the ladies. "Hurry up and come down, Adele," said Hugh, "if you want to look over the horses before lunch." "It's Georgie's fault," replied Mrs. Rindge; "he's been standing in the door of my sitting-room for a whole half-hour talking nonsense." A little later they all set out for the stables.
The whole situation was in the acutest degree mysterious. It was also in the acutest degree amazing. Samuel Peel had no facility in baby-talk, so, to tranquillize Georgie, he attempted soothing strokes or pats on such portions of Georgie's skin as were exposed. Whereupon Georgie shrieked, and even dogs stood still and lifted noses inquiringly.
