That meant a bad night for him; yet he shrank more from the certain misinterpretation of a refusal to drink from the huge loving-cup with its heavy wreath of scented orchids, now already on its way toward him, than he feared the waking struggle so sure to follow. Marion received the cup, lifted it in both hands, and said distinctly, "Good Hunting!" as she drank to Quarrier.
He was in search of a certain loving-cup which had been mentioned and asked for, and Atchison himself had for the moment left the apartment to see an insistent caller below. The den was at some distance from the place where the company was assembled, and Brown could hear their voices only in the remote distance as he searched.
I'd often seen the sergeant there, in uniform, at the door. I knew you must pass from your club to the office many times each day, so I thought of the loving-cup and the pawn-shop. I planted it there. It was a trick, a test. I thought if you saw it in a pawn-shop you would believe I no longer cared for you, and that I was very poor.
A main feature of the ceremony was the loving-cup.
"Have the goodness to place the old lady in the claws of the Crab, according to the directions of the coward who has deserted me." Malkiel shook with shame upon the loving-cup. "But I really can't find the Crab," said the Prophet, who was so tired that he could scarcely stand. "I can see the Great Bear." "That is no use. The Bear has nothing to do with the old lady. You must find the Crab.
"I am so sorry!" cried Lee. "I thought you were poor. I hoped you were poor. But you are joking!" he exclaimed delightedly. "You are here in a working girls' home-" "It is one of Aunt Emily's charities. She built it," said Frances. "I come here to talk to the girls." "But," persisted Lee triumphantly, "if you are not poor, why did you pawn our silver loving-cup?"
It was not that he said anything out of the way to the assembled burghers; but his simple manner, genial remarks, and perhaps especially the sympathetic way in which he handled the loving-cup offered by his hosts, made an instantaneous and strong impression.
It will hold five or six bottles of wine, and he said that it had been filled, and, I believe, sent round as a loving-cup at some of his entertainments. He cordially enjoys these things, and his genuine benevolence produces all this excellent hospitality. . . . But Bennoch proposed a walk, and we set forth.
But his happiness came in doing something in common with her, in helping her and in having her help him, in being, if only in play, if only for three days, her "partner." After they won they walked home together, each swinging a fat, heavy loving-cup. On each was engraved: "Mixed doubles, Agawamsett, 1910." Lee held his up so that the setting sun flashed on the silver.
"This way, Madame," said the Prophet. "But I really think such a proceeding is calculated to cause a grave scandal in the square." Malkiel the Second drew the cupboard door to, and grasped a silver candelabrum in each hand to sustain himself upon the rather sharp rim of the loving-cup. "What is the square to me or I to the square?" returned Madame with ungrammatical majesty.
