Chapter 27
COMPLIMENT TO THE QUEEN
BEFORE Jenny could tel! him,
man's form came rounfl r, cur
tain ot the tour-poster.
She saw that he was short the
ehouldor and neck, and that he had
a soft, quick way ot walking. He
looked deferentially at Gratton
Matching and murmured:
"I thought perhaps you required
me, sir?"
"Why should I require you? Eh?"
His employer's voice rose Into a
rasping squeak that startled Jenny
still further. "Get outl Go away!
I'm capable ot ringing tor you, I
hope, when I want you."
The sott, sliding walk took the
valet over the expanse ot carpet to
a door In the panelling ot tbe wall.
A moment later It closed behind
him. Jenny found that her eccen
tric host was watching her again.
"Have you seen that fellow be
fore?" "Yes. Just for a seeond, when be
carried my cousin's bag down, on
the day that she went away with
you."
"Hal You've a memory for faces.
And you're a judge ot character, too,
- by the set ot your lips and the
breadth between your eyes. No need
to blush I'm old enough to pay a
compliment to tbe queen herself
without offense. . . . What do you
think of him?"
;i don't want," said Jenny firmly,
"to discuss your nephew."
"But I was speaking ot that fel
low, my valet," the old man pointed
put; and the sly grimace that was
his smile, made her blush anew.
"It doesn't seem fair to come to
' conclusions about a man I've only
seen twice for a minute or so.
But"
"You don't like the look of him?
Don't trust him?"
"It might bo better," said Jenny,
unwillingly, "not to trust him In a
matter ot great Importance. But
that's only my opinion."
The strange old man lay back,
ipon his pillows, wriggled twice
whether with satisfaction or annoy
ance Jenny could not tell and re
mained flat upon the bed. She could
barely see him and when he spoke
he had the greatest difficulty In
following his words; for he was not
using bis dreadful, nerve-racking
squeak but a monotonous thread of
sound that blended with the rustle
of brocade at bis opened windows
and the sound ot the satin coverlet
under bis bands.
"My wife was so very like you,
little Miss Jenny. You've got her
same tricks and graces and her
same sound judgment under all that
pale gold hair. Only, I wouldn't
listen to her, d'ye see? Shut her up,
laughed at ber, cowed her; and
then, when she was gone, found
.that she bad had the right ot most
things. People she warned me
against and people she believed In,
: she was right about them all and I
was wrong. But you're not so timid
as she was. You speak up you
stand up to me I couldn't cow yon
without without meaning to. Eh?"
"Well, I bad the advantage ot a
very bullying oltl grandfather," ex
plained Jenny conscientiously. And
they laughed together Jenny Re
. veil and the old man who, people
aid, hadn't got a heart. On Im
pulse, she put out a hand to cover
bis as It plucked at the coverlet.
"Please shout at me, It you'd rather.
I shan't care a scrap."
How thin and cold old people's
hands werel she remembered
Grandfather's being llkelhat, and on
nights as hot as tbls. She slipped
ber other hand under It and cradled
It gently, trying to give out ber own
thrilling warmth.
"Old bones, cold bones," muttered
Gratton Matching, as though he
read ber thought "What's botween
you and my great-nephew Aveney?"
She began to draw her' hands
away but be retained them with sur
prising strength. All ber vitality
seemed to flow out from her and
Into that strange, compelling old
creature whom one could lore and
detest all In one breath.
"There's nothing. That Is we
dislike each other."
' "He thinks badly ot me and I'm
not free to defend myself. But as
we're not likely to see anything ot
each other, his opinion doesn't mat
ter to me. He simply doesn't manor
at all."
"My wife said that ot me nr,
when we had a courting Qimrel.
She had spirit, then."
"We haven't It Isn't you're a'l
wrong about everything." She
ZORN IN ANSWER 10
PORTLAND, Ore, June T (API
Henry Zorn, president ot the Tax
payer' Equalisation league of Mar
lon county, took Issue with Gover
nor Julius L. Meter Saturday In reply
to a letter fie governor had writ
ten him and In which the executive
expressed himself aa opposed to the
physical consolidation of the Uni
versity of Oregon and Oregon Bute
college.
"Any business man understands
that two great bualneae institutions
cannot be operated aa cheaply aa
one," he lUiod In his reply,
Sold at the Jumbo wmon delic
ious home-made fudge. Made by
Mrs. Jfran odw, . .
dragged her bands away, crying
out: "I shall make him apologize
and then 1 shall forget" Her voice
broke and she bad to stop.
"Who's shouting now?" enquired
Gratton Matching and wriggled
flatter In the enormous bed.
I splto of ber misery, Jenny
laughed. He really was like a mis
chievous old wizard, lying there
half-hliden, baiting her, drawing
her out! It was a pity that Georgle
should hate him and fear him and
so lightly deceive him. It wasn't dig
nified, all this secrecy and Intrigue
about Eddie . . .
"All this nonsense about you mar
rying my pilot, Townsend," said the
Old Man and, gasping, Jenny shrank
in her chair. Magic, this or else he
really could read her mind!
"That's what has come between
you and Garth Aveney, all this non
sense about Townsend," concluded
Gratton Matching. "Do you like
butter-scotch?"
"No, I hate It," Jenny answered,
too bewildered to be polite. "I don't
really eat any sweets."
"Nor do half the people I give
them to, but they're such sbeep
they daren't say so. All the same,
little Miss Jenny, I know what you
like and I'll have them next time
you come and see me. Tomorrow.
You'll come tomorrow, I daresay.
You might come every day."
She could not decide whether It
was a request or an order or a
prophecy. But she forgot that he
bad bewildered her and angered
her and teased her and, bending
down, she put her Hps to his frail,
cold bands.
"Yes, I'll come as often as you
want me to," she promised him.
"And now I must go and look after
after Eddie. Good-night"
She believed that he was laughing
as she left tbe room. At her? At
Eddie? Georgle would maintain
t at the Old Man knew well enough
which of them bad married bis pilot
Perhaps she was right and tbe
mocking old laugh was a sign of It
But why should be have spoken
of Garth Aveney? He had Ul'.ad as
though It were she and not Georgle
whom Garth had loved at first sight
And and at dinner, Garth had
talked like that too.
She bad barely a glance for the
butler who proffered her shawl and
put ber Into the big car that, he
assured her, waited hor pleasure.
She knew only that she must get
home to the apartment and ask
Georgle many things.
Georgle stood on the stairs and
watched Jenny go on her way to
dine with Gratton Matching. A shim
mer ot silvery green and a flash of
jade and she bad vanished from
sight Georgle was left face to face
with something that she had never
admitted to herself before that
her little cousin was not a child,
not an enchanting little plaything,
but a woman grown. A very lovely
woman.
Georgle took out her powder and
lipstick and lavishly repaired her
complexion. She wished that she
had not lost her temper with Jenny;
not only because there was after all
no reason for her jealousy, but be
cause she bad planned to come
home cool and competent and to be
a tower of strength to Eddie and
Jonny as well. And now she was ac
tually crying!
It Is useless to dust powder over
cheeks that are wet with tears and
so she sat down on the stairs for a
moment and waited for the old con
trol over her nerves to return. She
could hear GUI downstairs In his
office, moving heavily about, and
she could bear the muffled noises
ot the street outside, the hootlngs
and grlndlngs ot the cars and tho
cries ot the children on the pave
ment For some odd reason, aha re
membered that at this hour Eyle
Street was on the very edge ot twi
light and that Jenny, tunny kid,
loved watching the dusk.
She shivered but got up, and
turned resolutely up the stairs. Face
things, face things! cried ber
courage. Face the fact that Jenny
Isn't a child and that Eddie always
really wanted a home-loving little
wife who would leave all the adven
turing to him. Face the fact that
Eddie can't go advonturlng at all,
for a bit, and that, being a man and
Illogical, be will want a home-loving
wife all the morei
She faced all these truths and,
with her head up and her reddened
lips smiling, she ran up the flight
that led to hor apartment Never
theless, as she laid her hand on the
door and heard a step on the Inner
side of It, she darted away and up
the next flight and stood there
panting while Eddie opened the
door and came out on to the landing.
