The house in which the Kenyons resided was built on the same
pattern as Mr. Brooke's, but it was in some respects very unlike Mr.
Brooke's place of residence. Maurice's consulting-room and dining-
room corresponded, perhaps, to Mr. Brooke's dining-room and study:
it was upstairs where the difference showed itself. Ethel's drawing-
room was like herself—a little whimsical, a little bizarre; pretty,
withal, and original, and somewhat unlike anything one had ever
seen before. She was fond of novelties, and introduced the latest
fashions in draperies or china or screens as soon as she could get
hold of them; and the result was occasionally incongruous, though
always bright and cheerful-looking.
It was the incongruity of the ornaments and arrangements which
chiefly struck the mind of Oliver Trent as he entered Ethel's drawing-
room one afternoon, and stumbled over a footstool placed where no
footstool ought to be.
"I wish," he began, somewhat irritably, as he touched Ethel's
forehead with his lips, "that you would not make your room quite so
much like a fancy fair, Ethel."
Ethel raised her eyebrows. "Why, Oliver, only the other day you said
how pretty it was!"
"Pretty! I hate the word. As if 'prettiness' could be taken as a test of
what was best in art."
"My room isn't 'art,'" pouted Ethel; "it's me."
The sentence might be ungrammatical, but it was strictly true. The
room represented Ethel's character exactly. It was odd, quaint,
striking, and attractive. But Oliver was not in the mood to see its
attractiveness.
"It is certainly a medley," he replied, with some incisiveness. "How
many styles do you think are represented in the place? Japanese,
Egyptian, Renaissance, Louis Quinze, Queen Anne, Early Georgian
——"
"Oh, no! please don't go on!" cried Ethel, with mock earnestness.
"Not Early Georgian, please! Anything but that!"
"It is all incongruous and out of taste," said Oliver, in an ill-tempered
tone, and then he threw himself into a deep, comfortable lounging
chair, and closed his eyes as if the sight of the room were too much
for his nerves.
Ethel remained standing: her pretty mignonne figure was
motionless; her bright face was thoughtful and overcast.
"Do you mean," she said, quietly, "that I am incongruous and out of
taste too!"
There was a new note in her voice. Usually it was light and bird-like:
now there was something a little more weighty, a little more serious,
than had been heard in it before. Oliver noted the change, and
moved his head restlessly; he did not want to quarrel with Ethel, but
he was ill at ease in her presence, and therefore apt to be
exceedingly irritable with her.
"You wrest my words, of course," he answered. "You always do.
There's no arguing with—with—a woman."
"With me you were about to say. Don't spare me. What other
accusations have you to bring!"
"Accusations! Nonsense!"
"It is not nonsense, Oliver." Her voice trembled. "I have felt for some
time that all was not right between us. I can't shut my eyes. I must
believe what I see, and what I feel. We must understand one
another."
Oliver's eyes were wide open now. He began to see that he had
gone a little too far. It would not do to snub Ethel too much—at least
before the marriage. Afterwards—he said to himself—he should treat
her as he felt inclined. But now——
"You are mistaken, Ethel," he said, in a tone of half appeased
vexation which he thought very effective. "What on earth should
there be wrong between us! Open your eyes and your ears as much
as you like, my dear child, but don't be misled by what you feel. The
wind is in the East,—remember. You feel a chill, most probably, and
you put your malaise down to me."
His tone grew more affectionate as he spoke. He wanted her to
believe that he had been suffering from a mere passing cloud of ill-
temper, and that he was already ashamed of it.
"I feel the effects of the weather myself," he said. "I have been
horribly depressed all day, and I have a headache. Perhaps that is
why the brightness of your room seemed to hurt my eyes. You know
that I always like it when I am well."
He looked at her keenly, hoping that this reference to possible-ill-
health might bring the girl to his feet, as it had often done before in
the case of other women; but it did not seem to produce the least
effect. She stood silent, immobile, with her eyes still fixed upon the
floor. Silence and stillness were so unusual in one of Ethel's vivacious
temperament, that Oliver began to feel alarmed.
"Ethel," he said, advancing to her, and laying his hand upon hers,
"what is wrong? What have I done?"
She shook her head hastily, but made no other reply.
"Look at me," he said, softly.
And then she lifted her eyes. But they wore a questioning and not a
trustful look.
"Ethel, dearest, what have I done to offend you? It cannot be my
silly comment on your room that makes you look so grave? Believe
me, dear, it came only from my headache and my bad temper. I am
deeply sorry to have hurt you. Only speak—scold me if you like—but
do not keep me in this suspense."
He was skilled in the art of pleading. His pale face, usually so
expressionless, took on the look of almost passionate entreaty.
Ethel was an actress by profession—perhaps a little by nature also—
but she was too essentially simple-hearted to suspect her friends of
acting parts in private life, and indeed trusted them rather more
implicitly than most people trust their friends. It had been a grief to
her to doubt Oliver's faith for a moment, and her eyes filled with
tears, while they flashed also with indignation, as she replied,
"You must know what I mean. I have felt it for a very long time. You
do not care for me as you used to do."
"Upon my soul, I do!" cried Oliver, very sincerely.
"Then you never cared for me very much."
This was getting serious. Oliver had no mind to break off his
engagement. He reserved the right to snub Ethel without giving
offence. If this was an impracticable course to pursue, it was evident
that he must abandon it and eat humble pie. Anything rather than
part from her just now. He had lost the woman he loved: it would
not do to lose also his only chance of winning a competency for
himself and immunity from fear of want in the future.
"Ethel," he said, softly, "you grieve me very much. I acknowledge my
faults of temper—I did not think you mistook then for a want of
love."
"I do not think I do. It is something more real, more tangible than
that."
"What is it, dear?"
She paused, then looked keenly into his face. "It seems to me,
Oliver, that Lesley Brooke has won your heart away from me."
He threw back his head and laughed—a singularly jarring and
unpleasant laugh, as it seemed to her. "What will you imagine next?"
he said.
"Imagine? Have I imagined it? Isn't it true that you have been at her
house almost every day for the last three or four weeks? Do you
come here as often? Is it not Lesley that attracts you?—not me!"
"Oh, so you are jealous!"
"Yes, I suppose I am. It is only natural, I think."
They faced each other for a moment, defiantly, almost fiercely.
There was a proud light in Ethel's eyes, a compression of the lips
which told that she was not to be trifled with. Oliver stood pale, with
frowning brows, and eyes that seemed to question both the reality
of her feeling and the answer that he should make to her demand. It
was by a great effort of self-control that at last he answered her with
calmness—
"I assure you, Ethel, you are utterly mistaken. What have I in
common with a girl like Miss Brooke—one of the most curiously
ignorant and wrong-headed persons I ever came across? Can you
think for a moment that I should compare her with you?—you,
beautiful and gifted and cultured above most women?"
"That is nothing to the point," said Ethel, quickly. "Men don't love
women because of their gifts and their culture."
"No," he rejoined, "but because of some subtle likeness or
attractiveness which draws one to the other. I find it in you, without
knowing why. You—I hoped—found it——"
His voice became troubled; he dropped his eyes. Ethel trembled—
she loved him, poor girl, and she thought that he suffered as she
had suffered, and she was sorry for him. But her outraged pride
would not let her make any advance as yet.
"I may be a fatuous fool," said Oliver, after an agitated pause, "but I
thought you loved me."
"I do love you," cried Ethel, passionately.
"And yet you suspect me of being false to you."
"Not suspect—not suspect"—she said, incoherently, and then, was
suddenly folded in Oliver's arms, and felt that the time for reproach
or inquiry had gone by.
She was not sorry that matters had ended in this way, although she
felt it to be illogical. With his kisses upon her mouth, with the
pressure of his arm enfolding her, it was almost impossible for her to
maintain, in his presence, a doubt of him. It was when he had gone
that all the facts which he had ignored came back to her with
torturing insistence, and that she blamed herself for not having
refused to be reconciled to him until she had ascertained the truth or
untruth of a report that had reached her ears.
With a truer lover she might have gone unsatisfied to her dying day.
A faithful-hearted man might never have perceived where she was
hurt; he would not have been astute enough to discover that he
might heal the wound by a few timely words of explanation. Oliver,
keenly alive to his own interests, reopened the subject a few days
later of his own accord.
They had completely made up their quarrel—to all outward
appearance, at any rate—and were sitting together one afternoon in
Ethel's obnoxious drawing-room. They had been laughing together
at some funny story of Ethel's associates at the theatre, and to the
laughter had succeeded a silence, during which Oliver possessed
himself of the girl's hand and carried it gently to his lips.
"Ethel," he said, softly, "what made you so angry with me the other
day?"
"Your bad behavior, I suppose!" she said, trying to treat the matter
in her usual lively fashion.
"But what was my misbehavior? Did it consist in going so often to
the Brookes'?"
"Oh, what does it matter?" exclaimed Ethel, petulantly. "Didn't we
agree to forgive and forget? If we didn't, we ought to have done. I
don't want to look back."
"But you are doing an injustice to me. Ethel, I dare not say to you
that I insist on knowing what it was. But I very strongly wish that
you would tell me—so that I might at least try to set your mind at
rest."
"Well," said Ethel, quickly, "if you must know—it was only a bit of
gossip—servants gossip. I know all that can be said respecting the
foolishness of listening to gossip from such a source—but I can't
help it. One of the maids at Mr. Brooke's——"
"Sarah?" asked Oliver, with interest. "Sarah never liked me."
"Who, it was not Sarah.—it was that maid of Lesley's—Kingston her
name is, I believe—who said to one of our servants one day that you
went there a great deal oftener than she would like, if she were in
my place. There! I have made a full confession. It was a petty
spiteful bit of gossip, of course, and I ought not to have listened to it
—but then it seemed so natural—and I thought it might be true!"
"What seemed natural?" said Oliver, who, against his will, was
looking very black.
"Why, that you should like Lesley; she is the sweetest girl I ever
came across."
In his heart Oliver echoed that opinion, but he felt morally bound to
deny it.
"You say so only because you have never seen yourself! My darling,
how could you accuse me merely on servants' evidence!"
"Is there no truth in it, Oliver?"
"None in the least."
"But you do go there very often!"
Then Oliver achieved a masterpiece of diplomacy. "My dear Ethel,"
he said, "I will go there no more until you go with me. I will not set
foot in the house again."
He knew very well that Mr. Brooke would not admit him. It was
clever to make a virtue of necessity.
"No, no, please don't do that! Go as often as you please."
"It was simply out of kindness to a lonely girl. I played her
accompaniments for her sometimes, and listened to her singing. But
as you dislike it, Ethel, I promise you that I will go there no more."
"Oh, Oliver, forgive me! I don't doubt you a bit. Do go to see Lesley
as often as you can. I should like you to do it. Go for my sake."
But Oliver was quite obdurate. No, he would not go to the Brookes'
again, since Ethel had once objected to his going. And on this
pinnacle of austere virtue he remained, thereby reducing Ethel to a
state of self-abasement, which spoke well for his chances of mastery
in the married life which loomed before him.
