The only guests asked to meet the Earl at Serjeant Bluestone's, were Sir William and Lady Patterson, and the black-browed young barrister. The whole proceeding was very irregular, as Mr. Flick, who knew what was going on, said more than once to his old partner, Mr. Norton.
Hardy, on behalf of the young lord, kept his seat, but he said not a word not even asking a question of one of Serjeant Bluestone's witnesses.
"A conversazione, my love! why, is not that a very expensive affair?" "Why, not very. But if it brings me practice, it will be money well laid out." "Yes, my love, if it does, and if we had the money to lay out." "Something must be done. I have hardly a patient left. I have an idea that it will succeed. Go, my dear, and make up this prescription, and let the boy take it to Mrs Bluestone's.
But should the girl prove obstinate; "take her away at once, very far away; to Rome, or some such place as that." Such had been Mrs. Bluestone's advice, and in those days Rome was much more distant than it is now. "And don't let anybody know where you are going," added the Serjeant, "except Mr. Goffe."
He came up close to her, meaning to kiss her if she would let him; but she stood aloof, and merely touched his hand. She would obey her betrothed, at any rate till she should have made up her mind that she would be untrue to him. Lord Lovel could not press his wish, and left the house unmindful of Mrs. Bluestone's luncheon.
