cocks   crowing   all   my   life�察  �but   I   never   knew   what   that   creature   could 

accomplish before。 So I lay and thought how good and forgiving I was�察�it 

was quite distressing。; 

     ;Remorse�拭─�said Kate。 

     ;Yes�察  �indeed。    I   hate   to   be   a   saint   all   the   time。 There   ought   to   be 

vacations。     Instead   of   suffering   from   a   bad   conscience�察  �I   suffer   from   a 

good one。; 

     ;It was no merit of yours�察�aunt�察─�put in Harry。            ;Who was ever more 

agreeable and lovable than Malbone last night�拭─�

     ;Lovable� ─     �burst  out   Aunt   Jane�察  �who    never   could   be  managed      or 

manipulated by anybody but Kate�察�and who often rebelled against Harry's 

blunt assertions。      ;Of course he is lovable�察�and that is why I dislike him。 

His father was so before him。           That is the worst of it。 I never in my life 

saw any harm done by  a villain�察�I wish I   could。 All the mischief in this 

world is done by lovable people。 Thank Heaven�察�nobody ever dared to call 

me lovable� ─�

     ;I should like to see any one dare call you anything else��you dear�察�old�察�

soft´hearted darling� ─�interposed Kate。 

     ;But�察  �aunt�察─  �persisted   Harry�察   �if  you   only   knew   what   the   mass   of 

young men are; 

     ;Don't I�拭─�interrupted the impetuous lady。            ;What is there that is not 

known to any woman who has common sense�察�and eyes enough to look 

out of a window�拭─�

     ;If you only knew�察─�Harry went on�察 �how superior Phil Malbone is�察�in 

his whole tone�察�to any fellow of my acquaintance。; 

     ;Lord help the rest� ─�she answered。            ;Philip has a sort of refinement 

instead    of  principles�察   �and   a  heart  instead   of   a  conscience��just     heart 

enough to keep himself happy and everybody else miserable。; 

     ;Do   you    mean    to  say�察─ �asked    the  obstinate    Hal�察  �that  there   is  no 

difference between refinement and coarseness�拭─�

     ;Yes�察�there is�察─�she said。 

     ;Well�察�which is best�拭─�

     ;Coarseness is safer by a great deal�察─�said Aunt Jane�察 �in the hands of a 

man   like   Philip。    What   harm   can   that   swearing   coachman   do�察  �I   should 

like to know�察�in the street yonder�拭�To be sure it is very unpleasant�察�and I 

wonder they let people swear so�察�except�察�perhaps�察�in waste places outside 

the town�察�but that is his way of expressing himself�察�and he only frightens 

people�察�after all。; 

     ;Which Philip does not�察─�said Hal。 

     ;Exactly。     That is the danger。      He frightens nobody�察�not even himself�察�

when he ought to wear a label round his neck marked 'Dangerous��' such as 

they have at other places where it is slippery and brittle。 When he is here�察�I 

keep saying to myself�察�'Too smooth�察�too smooth��'; 

     ;Aunt   Jane�察─  �said   Harry�察  �gravely�察   �I   know   Malbone   very  well�察  �and   I 

never knew any man whom it was more unjust to call a hypocrite。; 

     ;Did I say he was a hypocrite�拭─�she cried。 ;He is worse than that�察�at 

least�察�more really dangerous。 It is these high´strung sentimentalists who do 

all the mischief�察�who play on their own lovely emotions�察�forsooth�察�till they 

wear out those fine fiddlestrings�察�and then have nothing left but the flesh 

and the D。 Don't tell me� ─�

     ;Do    stop�察  �auntie�察─  �interposed    Kate�察  �quite  alarmed�察    �you    are  really 

worse than a coachman。          You are growing very profane indeed。; 

     ;I   have   a   much   harder   time   than   any   coachman�察  �Kate�察─  �retorted   the 

injured lady。     ;Nobody tries to stop him�察�and you are always hushing me 

up。; 

     ;Hushing you up�察�darling�拭─�said Kate。             ;When we only spoil you by

praising and quoting everything you say。; 

     ;Only when it amuses you�察─�said Aunt Jane。              ;So long as I sit and cry 

my eyes out over a book�察�you all love me�察�and when I talk nonsense�察�you 

are ready to encourage it�察�but when I begin to utter a little sense�察�you all 

want to silence me�察�or else run out of the room�            �Yesterday I read about a 

newspaper somewhere�察�called the 'Daily Evening Voice'�察�I wish you would 

allow me a daily morning voice。; 

     ;Do   not   interfere�察  �Kate�察─  �said   Hal。 ;Aunt   Jane   and   I   only   wish   to 

understand each other。; 

     ;I am sure we don't�察─�said Aunt Jane�察 �I have no desire to understand 

you�察�and you never will understand me till you comprehend Philip。; 

     ;Let   us   agree   on   one   thing�察─  �Harry   said。 ;Surely�察  �aunt�察  �you   know 

how he loves Hope�拭─�

     Aunt Jane approached a degree nearer the equator�察�and said�察�gently�察 �I 

fear I do。; 

     ;Fear�拭─�

     ;Yes�察�fear。    That is just what troubles me。          I know precisely how he 

loves her。     Il se laisse aimer。     Philip likes to be petted�察�as much as any 

cat�察�and�察�while he will purr�察�Hope is happy。 Very few men accept idolatry 

with any degree of grace�察�but he unfortunately does。; 

     ;Unfortunately�拭─�remonstrated Hal�察�as far as ever from being satisfied。 

;This is really too bad。      You never will do him any justice。; 

     ;Ah�拭─�said Aunt Jane�察�chilling again�察 �I thought I did。 I observe he is 

very much afraid of me�察�and there seems to be no other reason。; 

     ;The   real   trouble   is�察─  �said   Harry�察  �after   a   pause�察   �that   you   doubt   his 

constancy。; 

     ;What do you call constancy�拭─�said she。             ;Kissing a woman's picture 

ten years after a man has broken her heart�拭           �Philip Malbone has that kind 

of constancy�察�and so had his father before him。; 

     This    was   too  much     for  Harry�察  �who    was   making     for  the  door   in 

indignation�察�when little Ruth came in with Aunt Jane's luncheon�察�and that 

lady was soon absorbed in the hopeless task of keeping her handmaiden's 

pretty blue and white gingham sleeve out of the butter´plate。

     PHILIP  MALBONE   had   that   perfectly   sunny   temperament   which   is 

peculiarly   captivating   among Americans�察  �because   it   is   so   rare。   He   liked 

everybody and everybody liked him�察�he had a thousand ways of affording 

pleasure�察�and he received it in the giving。 He had a personal beauty�察�which�察�
