T. Tembarom looked as if he were looking backward at many episodes as he said it. "Naturally, I guess, I must have been an innocent, blab-mouthed kid. I meant no harm, but I just didn't know. Sometimes it looks as if just not knowing is about the worst disease you can be troubled with.
"If it's not the law that they've got to invite me or go to jail," said Tembarom, "I don't blame 'em for not doing it if they're not stuck on me. And they're not; and it's natural. But I've got to get in my fine work, or my year'll be over before I've 'found out for myself, as Ann called it. There's where I'm at, Miss Alicia and I've been thinking of Lady Joan and her mother.
Tembarom for a moment did not awaken to the fact that the man was speaking to him, as the master from whom orders came. He glanced at Mr. Palford. "Mr. Temple Barholm had tea after we left Crowly," Mr. Palford said. "He will no doubt wish to go to his room at once, Burrill." "Yes, sir," said Burrill, with that note of entire absence of comment with which Tembarom later became familiar.
"Things seem clearer nearer." "Good business!" exclaimed Tembarom. "I told you it'd be that way. Let's hold on to pictures. It won't be any time before you'll be remembering where you've seen some." He had been secretly rather strung up; but he had been very gradual in approaching his final suggestion that some night, when everything was quiet, they might go and look at the gallery together.
It was the involuntary, mechanical action of a man who had been trained among gentlemen. "It's Mrs. Bowse again, and she's brought Miss Hutchinson down with her. Miss Hutchinson always knows what to do," explained Tembarom in his friendly voice. The man bowed, and his bewildered eyes fixed themselves on Little Ann. "Thank you," he said. "It's very kind of you. I I am in great trouble."
Maybe it's because I'm stuck on myself." His visit to Strangeways was longer than usual that afternoon. He explained the situation to him so that he understood it sufficiently not to seem alarmed by it. This was one of the advances Tembarom had noticed recently, that he was less easily terrified, and seemed occasionally to see facts in their proper relation to one another.
"Almost everybody has. I found that out long years ago," said Palliser, looking at his cigar end again as if consulting it. "Since I arrived at the conclusion, I always take it for granted, and look out for it. I've become rather clever in following such things up, and I have taken an unusual interest in T. Tembarom from the first."
There was a shade of patient regret in her voice. "Father's got tired of trying America. He's been disappointed too often. He's going back to England." "Back to England!" Tembarom cried out forlornly, "Oh Lord! What shall we all do without you, Ann?" "You'll do as you did before we came," said Little Ann. "No, we sha'n't. We can't. I can't anyhow."
"Also she probably did not know that in ancient days of chivalry ladies sent forth their knights to bear buffeting for their sakes in proof of fealty. Rise up, Sir Knight!" This last phrase of course T. Tembarom did not know the poetic significance of. To his hearer Palliser's story became an amusing thing, read in the light of this most delicious frankness.
It's just slipped your memory. You want Mr. Tembarom Mr. T. Tembarom." "Oh, thank you, thank you. That's it. Yes, Tembarom. He said T. Tembarom. He said he wouldn't throw me over." Little Ann led him to a seat and made him sit down. She answered him with quiet decision. "Well, if he said he wouldn't, he won't. Will he, Father?" "No, he won't." There was rough good nature in Hutchinson's admission.
