She got out her salts and held them to her nose.
"If he can't have me he'll want me."
"The fonder the better," I said flippantly. Yes, that's what I said. When I look back on that eve ning and think how little Henry entered into my plans

"Oh, yes," I said. "No matter what I am doing, mother, if Herschenrother the tailor calls up I want to go to the telephone."
"You brought Henry. I know the signs. You asked him, and he's so set up about it that he's walking on clouds."
"Anything you can think of Toots Warrington will do."
"It seemed to me, Kit," she observed, "that you danced with every hopeless ineligible there. You danced three times with Henry."
"For heaven's sake, mother," I snapped, "let poor Henry alone. Henry is the most useful person I know."
"Cool!"
"Of me?"
"And I want you to forbid me to see him."
"Listen, mother," I said desperately. "All his life Russell Hill has had everything he wanted. He's had so much that that he's got a sort of social indigestion. The only things he wants now are the things he can't have. So he can't have me."
"All right," he said. "Herschenrother is now my middle name, and if it's not convenient to talk, you can give me the high sign

"I'm not sure of it

"Why?" she said feebly.
"Why?"
Mother and I had another heart-to-heart talk that night on the way home

"I am afraid."
"I'm not insane, Katherine."
"I want you to do one thing just one, mother: I want you to be very cool to Russell Hill."
I can still see her staring after me with her mouth open as I went up the stairs.
you've made to-night. Now, see here, I'm going to see you again, and often. And I'm going to ring you up. What's your tailor's name?"
And later
Herschenrother called me up the next morning, and asked me how I was

I told him, and he put it down on his dance card.
Toots Warrington came along just then with an army officer she'd taken on. They got clear round the palms and into the pantry before they saw us, and her face was funny.
Mother's not very subtle. And she was alarmed. I can still see her trying to readjust her ideas, and getting tied up in them, and coming a mental crop per, so to speak.
He caught my arm as he helped me across a pud dle, and squeezed it.
That was all until we got home. Then on the stairs I thought of something.
"You can't play with red-headed people and not get burned," mother said with unconscious humour. "He's very fond of you, Kit
Coach Handbags. I watched him to night."
"Mother," I said in despair, "you've been mar ried for twenty years, and you know less about men in a month than I do in a minute. Please forbid him the house not in so many words, but act it."
"Good girl!" he said.
There was rather a bad half hour in the park, and for a time I felt that Henry had been a wrong move. But, as it turned out he hadn't, for Russell took advantage of somebody's signalling to Henry from a machine to say:
"I feel as though I'm losing my mind," she said at last. "But if you're set on it--"
"I should say so," he said. "You've only got to ask me, Kit. I'm always ready to hang round."
"Just a bit afraid of me still, aren't you"

"Of myself."
