"No, I said I would not yesterday. A tender word would have brought me to your feet and I was very sore." "If you were a woman, you would have understood and " "Oh, wait a little," he said. "You are going to ask me to marry you, Leila Grey " She was on her feet. "Take care," he cried, and a smile on the strong battle-tried face arrested her angry outburst. She said only, "Why?
Mendo de Quexada, hastily arming, repaired, himself, to the battlements; and, from her lattice, Leila beheld him, from time to time, stationing to the best advantage his scanty troops.
But with Leila and the Doc it was a case of give-and-take from the start that is, as is usual with a good many married folks, she'd give and he'd take. There never was a better minister's wife, and when you've said that you've said the last word about good wives and begun talking about martyrs, because after a minister's wife has pleased her husband she's got to please the rest of the church.
There are complications; she is in debt, and the proprietor of Hawtrey's has threatened to discharge her and in order that the magnitude of the temptation may be most effectively realized the vision appears of Leila herself, wrapped in furs, stepping out of a limousine and into an elevator lifting her to an apartment containing silk curtains, a Canet bed, a French maid, and a Pomeranian.
"Now I know you are a fool, John Penhallow, and very disagreeable." "When we were ever so young, Leila, and we quarrelled, we used to agree not to speak to one another for a day. Are you cross enough for that now?" "No, I am not; but I want to feel sure that you will not say such things to me again." "I make no promise, Leila; I should break it.
I've had Daddy here. I gave him some of your champagne, and drank the rest " then was conscious of a figure far too tall for Leila, and a man's voice saying: "I'm awfully sorry. It's only I, Jimmy Fort." Noel scrambled up. "Leila isn't in; but she will be directly it's past ten." He was standing stock-still in the middle of the room. "Won't you sit down? Oh! and won't you have a cigarette?"
Leila nodded: "That's very brave, and wonderful." "Oh! no. Needs must when the devil drives that's all. I don't give up happiness of my own accord. That's not within a hundred miles of the truth. What I shall become, I don't know, but nothing better, you may be sure. I give up because I can't keep, and you know why. Where is Noel?" "Down at the sea, with George and Gratian."
Therefore Plank must have been placated by Leila; how, Mortimer was satisfied not to know. "Some of these days," he said to himself, "I'll catch her tripping, and then there'll be a decent division of property, or there'll be a divorce."
"I suppose we are too young to understand." "Aunt Ann will never talk about slaves. I asked her last week." "But Uncle Jim will talk, and he likes to be asked when we are alone. I don't believe in slavery." "It seems so queer, John, to own a man." John grinned, "Or a girl, Leila." "Well, no one owns me, I tell you; they'd have a hard time."
Penhallow, "he's afraid of horses." "Afraid!" said her husband. "By George! afraid of horses." "He speaks French perfectly," said Mark Rivers. "He can't swim. I got that out of Leila. I understand he tried it once and gave it up." "But his mother made him, James. You know Susan. She was as timid as a house-fly for herself, and I suppose for him."
