Chapter 27 A CHORE FOR POOLE 'ENNETH POOLB, tooking as ruddy and smooth as though he had risen from eight hours’ dreamless slumber, helped himself largely to ham 1nd eggs and said “Tl yaffle this last one, if you're sure you've finished, I gather Mrs. Lofely breakfasts upstairs?” “She does.” Armitage pushed back from the table ind began lux uriously to his pipe. “So does her son. At least, he did yester- day.” “I’m not sure 1 understand Lode- ly’s type enough to undefstand Lodely,” Poole went on, “He cer tainly lost his wool just before he went to his bye-byes. Couldn't fol-| ly. low his line of temper, quite.” He paused, before adding very casual- ly—“I got the impression you could, though.” “Spoken in the best Poole man- ner. “Oh, Mr. Armitage, what a charming boy that- secretary of yours is! Something so sympa- thetic about him.’” He dodged the box of matches hurled at him afd sobered. “hodely has cause or, at least, ex- cuse to bait me,” Farrell admitted. “But ’'m beginning to fear he die- likes me for the wrong reasons. There's nothing more obstructive to 5” “Mind if 1 ring for some more toast?” asked Poole helpfully. “Why not order yourself an omie- Jette as well? You've got to keep your strength up—somehow.” “Now why in the world didn’t you stiggest that just after the fish? You've spoilt what might have been an excellent breakfast.” Poole turned his reproachful gaze from Armitage to the opening door—and the reproach vanished. “Hullo! ! say, Gaffen, you really are a bit of a thought-reader, aren’t you? Toast hot, thin toast—a whole rackful of fresh toast borne in upon a thought-wave.” “We haven't forgotten your break- feasts, sir.” said the beaming Gaffen. might get respect, liking, fatelligent response from his do- ‘mestic staff, but he was amusedly aware that it was Poole—distant cousin, private secretary and upot- ficial second-in-command—who held their hearts. “We fancied you might Be glad to enjoy a good British breakfast again.” “All the same, I put on nearly 10 Pounds in New York,” said Poole: “Mrs. Lodely, sir, bas come down,” said Gaffen to Armitage. “She is in the drawing room. She would be giad of a moment with you at your conventence.” As the door closed upon the but ler, Armitage stood up. “By the way, Poole, I forgot to. tell you, but Mra, Lodely is to be your holiday-task.” 7° potile looked horrited. “Haven't you got mining intererts in Vesuvias or ishing rights round the Pole that i ought to see about instead?” he asked earnestly. “I mean, Mrs. Lodely’s most interest ing and that, bat the only thing we bave in common is that she went out with the Belvoir hunt one dap Jast year and I went out with the SeGovesacsovesesssdese “He seems a nice, cheerful sore of boy,” nodded Mrs. Lodely. “Bty | callow, I should say, what?” “Hardly,” mutmured Armitage, | struggling with recollections of his | secretary's peculiarly sophisticatea encounters with life. “At any rate, if you'll let Poole amuse you while Mark is busy, you'll be doing a favor | all round. McLoughlin, the Watcher |K cartoonist, 18 interested in Mark al Teady; he rapg up last night and he'll come round and@ see him this j evening.” “Did he really! Well, it certainly does seém as it Mark was to have his chancé at last and I'm sure } | should pé thé last to stand in his | wayhis own mother! Only—” “only?” “Only, if you don’t mind my say- in’ so, my dear boy, 1 don’t for the | life of me sée What you're doin’ it all for! After all, it’s one thing to give a strugglin’ artist a couple of useful introductions and a week’s holiday and quite another to build him an elevator and @ studio and put up with fim until he’s ready to leave!” “What about getting Philhay to look at him?” asked Armitage quiet- “Phiihay? Sif Robert Philhay, the bonesetter? But {thought he'd tetired.” Mrs. Lodely looked, for Once, startled and impréssed. “He has, but t's my experience that a man can always be lured out ot retitement by a éase that’s baffied his colleagues.” Mrs, Lodely, smoking fast, starec at the grotind. A faint fear sho: through Armitage~he had not fore seen difficulty with Mark’s mother and hé felt he would have fiked to think out his line of attack, He said lamely—~ * “I gave your son his telegram last night, but 1 could not induce him to send any answer.” “Telegram?” Her thoughts were eléewhere, Then—"Oh, yés, From Barbara.” “Yes,” She looked ap sharply, spilling her ash, “Barbara,” she repeated. Afmitage was tense, waiting. “If you don’t ming my sayin’ so, my deux boy”—that same, deadiy opening!—“you ‘urely aren't think in’ {i any particular, personal way about Barbara?” “It ts trué that I hope to persuade Miss Quentin to marry me insteac of your son.” “You'll never do that,” said Mrs. Lodely. She said it casually—as easually as she dropped her half-smoked cigarette upon the Aubusson carpe’ and“étamped it out with her big, shabby shoe. . “You'll never do that it I have to lay down my life to pre vent it. You can’t atderstand, but it’s @ matter of getting justice for Mark—his marryin’ Barbara. And if needs be, I shall tell ‘em both why." Into Armitage’s mind flashed the memory of what Leila had said at South-the-Water. “1 may have ab. solutely no right to all this, It may be really Mark’s.” And Armitage remembered bis own rejoinder~ “Or Barbara's.” Armitage felt anger rising. What cadgers and suckers they were, mother and son!. They took and took and took from Barbara; her young strength was caught in their weakness, her life tied down under jw feet and dark with their shaa- wa, “Anyway, put the notion out of your mind,” Mrs. Lodely told him. “You'd get the same advice trom Babs, too, if you talked to her about fe Mt you don't mind my puttin’ tt plainly, she doesn’t like you. She told me eo." “That certainly doesn’t sound hopeful for me,” odmitted Armitage, juadty, “And now fm all the more pus sled as to why you're doin’ so mach | for Mark. I eh’d have thought you'a do tess, if anythin'!” She peered at him with sudden suspicion. “Seems Armitage laughed aloud—she was 80 obviously crude fn her emotional “I've asked you to stay on here 3 THE ‘ARTMAN PRESS PRIN PHONE 51 TING IN THE CITIZEN BLDG, SOSOSHSOOOOSOSOOOLOOSSO SESS TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS seccceens secearecnssceces | Eva Le Gallienne, American ac-| » }tress, born in London, 34 years) a Alice Paul, noted feminist, born! bi Moorestown, N.
