"And the Davenants," continued Mrs. Collingwood, "who were such near neighbours, and who were so kind to the dean at Florence; they have not even written!" "But they are at Florence still," said Mr.
"That I should be thus publicly branded with the basest crime! that the representative of the old and honorable house of the Davenants, should be thus grossly insulted, his person assailed, his good name torn from him that he should be denounced thus in the presence of all as a felon and murderer! "'You are insane, sir! I at length said, struggling to regain my coolness.
The Davenants had done their utmost to persuade him to go to school, but Noel had taken the conduct of his affairs into his own hands, and firmly refused. "I shan't go while Chris is ill," he declared flatly. "We'll see what she's like at the mid-term." Jack's authority was invoked in vain, for Jack was on the youngster's side. "I've squared him," said Noel, with satisfaction.
I have been longing for you to come home, looking forward with such joy to welcome you as the possessor of the broad lands of the Davenants. Thank God I have lived to see the restoration of my dear husband's lands, and the discomfiture of those Cromwellian knaves, who have so long possessed them.

Afterwards, when the full realisation of her love for Peter had overwhelmed her, her pride the dogged, unyielding pride of the Davenants, whose word was their bond had held her to her promise. It had been a matter of honour with her.
"There's bad blood in the Davenants, and Nan will probably create a scandal for us one day. I understand she strongly resembles her notorious great-grandmother, Angèle de Varincourt." "My wife will lead a very different kind of life from Angèle de Varincourt," remarked Roger. "I'll see to that." "It's a pity you didn't look nearer home for a wife, Roger," she observed.
Sir Charles Davenant was a man of ancient family and of great expectations, but of very small patrimonial fortune: he had been a ward of Sir Morgan Walladmor's; between whom and the Davenants there was some distant relationship: and it was to the Walladmor interest, supported by the Walladmor purse, that Sir Charles was originally indebted for his commission upon entering the army and his subsequent promotion.
