Présentation de l'éditeur
How much for a bachelor? Who wants to buyi In a wink every maiden responded, I I. In short, at a largely extravagant price, The bachelors all were sold off in a trice. Lady Kershaw opened a letter under cover of the breakfast table, her eyes traveling furtively toward her son at its further end. Ham and eggs, mother? he queried, unconcernedly. With that letter in her hand she wondered how he could be so cool. She forgot he had not even a suspicion of the circumstances prompting it. She read it through and laid it beside her, while she poured tea with a hand grown capable by experience, though this morning unsteadied by events. How should she break the news to him? She was not a weak woman, but she entertained a wholesome respect for this her younger son. Some ray of mind-telepathy common enough between persons in unison moved him to introduce the subject. We shall have to let the old place, he said, abruptly. I was talking with Pugh last night about it. Oh, Richard! I know, he said.
