"My Uncle Guardy thinks your father is a bad man," said the fairy, not without a spice of malice. Up rose the patient from his pillow. "Then I hate him. He's a liar. My Dad is the best man in the world." A brighter hue than fever burnt in his cheeks, and his hand went to his shoulder. "I won't have his bandages on me," he cried. But she had thrown herself upon his arm, and pushed him back.
Larne went on: "You couldn't, I suppose, let me have just one hundred?" "Not a bob." She sighed again, her eyes slid round the room; then in her warm voice she murmured: "Guardy, you were my dear Philip's father, weren't you? I've never said anything; but of course you were. He was so like you, and so is Jock." Nothing moved in old Heythorp's face.
"Mother, and myself, and Jock he's an awful boy. You can't conceive what an awful boy he is. He's got nearly red hair; I think he'll be just like Guardy when he gets old. He's awful!" Bob Pillin murmured: "I should like to see him." "Would you? I'll ask mother if you can. You won't want to again; he goes off all the time like a squib."
"I have left it on my dressing-table," she thought, moving away. "I will have a cup of tea in my room this evening, and let guardy and Madame Blanche dine together. I wish it were time to start. I abominably hate waiting." Mollie found her watch on the table, and was rather surprised to see it past eight. "I had no idea it was so late," she said to herself. "I shall leave here at half past nine.
I must tell guardy all, and get him to help me." "Is there no one you suspect?" "Not one now," Mollie replied, turning away from him. How could Mollie Dane tell him she had ever suspected, ever hoped, it might be himself? It was evidently a matter of very little moment to him. "And you can not forgive the love that resorts to such extreme measures, Mollie?" he asked, after a pause.
Mollie turned again to her guardian and laid her face on his shoulder. "Send that man away, guardy. His presence in the room turns me sick to death." "I am going, Miss Dane," said Dr. Oleander, turning moodily to the door, "and I shall not go to Cuba. I shall not quit New York. Let you or your guardian prosecute me if you dare!" He stalked out with the last words.
What will your guardian say, and the world?" added Emily in the awe-stricken tone of one who stood in fear of the omnipotent Mrs. Grundy. "Guardy will be glad to be rid of me, and I don't care that for the world," cried Sophie, snapping her fingers with a joyful sort of recklessness which completed Emily's bewilderment. "But Mr. Hammond?
"You'll get notice of it in a day or two; ask no questions." "Oh! Guardy! Oh! you dear!" And her gaze rested on Bob Pillin, leaning over the piano, where Phyllis again sat. Old Heythorp snorted. "What are you cultivating that young gaby for? She mustn't be grabbed up by any fool who comes along." Mrs. Larne murmured at once: "Of course, the dear gairl is much too young.
Walraven said, coolly; "its next-door neighbor. A quiet, gentlemanly, and lady-like separation." "Guardy Walraven," said Miss Dane, solemnly, "don't do anything rash." "I don't intend to. I've thought the matter well over. Didn't get a wink of sleep last night for it. We won't break our hearts" with a cynical sneer "myself nor my gentle Blanche. I don't know why we married, exactly.
Luddington down to the office for Guardy, how she squeaked every time another car went by, and cautioned me to be careful and go slow, and asked me how many times I had ever driven before, and if I wasn't exceeding the speed-limit, and no end of things? But Cloudy hasn't batted an eye. She just sits there as if she was riding a cloud and enjoyed it."
