I wish you could get Reginald home again on any plausible pretence; he is not at all disposed to leave us, and I have given him as many hints of my father's precarious state of health as common decency will allow me to do in my own house.
Furnival was cross, ill pleased, and not disposed to confidence. But what of that? Her duty as a friend was not altered by Mrs. Furnival's ill humour. She would persevere, and having in her hands so great an opportunity, did not despair but what the time might come when both Mr. and Mrs. Furnival would with united voices hail her as their preserver.

No one felt disposed to decline the invitation and they were soon on their way to the fortress.
As I had not naturally an inclination to England, and did not intend to go there until the last extremity, I refused to write or make any promise; but I left her at liberty to do whatever she should think necessary to keep Mr. Hume favorably disposed towards me.
After the exchange of ordinary greetings, Jasper leaned back against the same support and showed himself disposed for talk. 'When I was here late in the spring, he said, 'this ash was only just budding, though everything else seemed in full leaf. 'An ash, is it? murmured Marian. 'I didn't know. I think an oak is the only tree I can distinguish.
