“
Oh
,
go
on
,
go
on
,
”
young
Hartly
rapturously
groaned
;
and
Mrs
.
Armiger
met
Glennard
’
s
inquiry
with
the
deprecating
cry
that
really
she
didn
’
t
see
what
there
was
to
laugh
at
.
“
I
’
m
sure
I
feel
more
like
crying
.
I
don
’
t
know
what
I
should
have
done
if
Alexa
hadn
’
t
been
home
to
give
me
a
cup
of
tea
.
My
nerves
are
in
shreds
—
yes
,
another
,
dear
,
please
—
”
and
as
Glennard
looked
his
perplexity
,
she
went
on
,
after
pondering
on
the
selection
of
a
second
lump
of
sugar
,
“
Why
,
I
’
ve
just
come
from
the
reading
,
you
know
—
the
reading
at
the
Waldorf
.
”
“
I
haven
’
t
been
in
town
long
enough
to
know
anything
,
”
said
Glennard
,
taking
the
cup
his
wife
handed
him
.
“
Who
has
been
reading
what
?
”
“
That
lovely
girl
from
the
South
—
Georgie
—
Georgie
what
’
s
her
name
—
Mrs
.
Dresham
’
s
protegee
—
unless
she
’
s
yours
,
Mr
.
Dresham
!
Why
,
the
big
ball
-
room
was
packed
,
and
all
the
women
were
crying
like
idiots
—
it
was
the
most
harrowing
thing
I
ever
heard
—
”
“
What
did
you
hear
?
”
Glennard
asked
;
and
his
wife
interposed
:
“
Won
’
t
you
have
another
bit
of
cake
,
Julia
?
Or
,
Stephen
,
ring
for
some
hot
toast
,
please
.
”
Her
tone
betrayed
a
polite
satiety
of
the
topic
under
discussion
.
Glennard
turned
to
the
bell
,
but
Mrs
.
Armiger
pursued
him
with
her
lovely
amazement
.
“
Why
,
the
‘
Aubyn
Letters
’
—
didn
’
t
you
know
about
it
?
The
girl
read
them
so
beautifully
that
it
was
quite
horrible
—
I
should
have
fainted
if
there
’
d
been
a
man
near
enough
to
carry
me
out
.
”
Hartly
’
s
glee
redoubled
,
and
Dresham
said
,
jovially
,
“
How
like
you
women
to
raise
a
shriek
over
the
book
and
then
do
all
you
can
to
encourage
the
blatant
publicity
of
the
readings
!
”
Mrs
.
Armiger
met
him
more
than
half
-
way
on
a
torrent
of
self
-
accusal
.
“
It
was
horrid
;
it
was
disgraceful
.
I
told
your
wife
we
ought
all
to
be
ashamed
of
ourselves
for
going
,
and
I
think
Alexa
was
quite
right
to
refuse
to
take
any
tickets
—
even
if
it
was
for
a
charity
.
”
“
Oh
,
”
her
hostess
murmured
,
indifferently
,
“
with
me
charity
begins
at
home
.
I
can
’
t
afford
emotional
luxuries
.
”
“
A
charity
?
A
charity
?
”
Hartly
exulted
.
“
I
hadn
’
t
seized
the
full
beauty
of
it
.
Reading
poor
Margaret
Aubyn
’
s
love
-
letters
at
the
Waldorf
before
five
hundred
people
for
a
charity
!
What
charity
,
dear
Mrs
.
