The Husbands of Edith

CHAPTER IV
8/46

I have it from Freddie Ulstervelt that he's trying to sell something like a million shares to Mr.Rodney, who has loads of money that came from real mines in the Far West.

He'd never be such a fool as to sink a million in South Africa, you know, but he's just clever enough to see the advantage of keeping Odell-Carney in tow, as it were.

It means a great deal to Mrs.Rodney, don't you know, Roxbury, to be able to say that she toured with the Odell-Carneys.

Freddie says that Cousin Alfred is talking in a very diplomatic manner of going on to London in August to look fully into the master.

It is understood that the Rodneys are to be the guests of the Odell-Carneys while in London.
It won't be the season, of course, so there won't be much of a commotion in the smart set.
