One odd effect of San Salvatore on her rapidly developing friend was her sudden free use of robust words. She had not used them in Hampstead. Beast and dog were more robust than Hampstead cared about. In words, too, Lotty had come unchained. But how she wished, oh how Rose wished, that she too could write to her husband and say "Come."
"It would seem so, if this doctor is to be believed," muttered Diana reflectively, "but judging by what you have told me, there is nothing to show that Ferruci was not in Pimlico at eight-thirty, and was not the man whom the servant saw." "Well, certainly he could get from Pimlico to Hampstead in an hour and a half.
Greenwood to reject him scornfully; as the Marchioness had treated him as below contempt; as even his own friend Lord Hampstead had declared that the difficulties would be insuperable, this sudden cessation of all impediments did seem to be delightfully miraculous. Assent on the part of Lord and Lady Persiflage would, he understood, be quite as serviceable as that of Lord and Lady Kingsbury.
"Do you love me, Marion?" "I do," she said, standing once more erect upon her feet. "There shall be no shadow of a lie between us. I do love you, Lord Hampstead. I will have nothing to make me blush in my own esteem when I think of you. How should it be other than that a girl such as I should love such a one as you when you ask me with words so sweet!" "Then, Marion, you shall be my own."
"Yes, ma fille," he said at length, as she pointed to a barrow of nodding daffodils, "we will go to Hampstead; it is a good idea. But first I must send a wire or two. And you must promise to return to me, unopened, the note you will find in Pont Street." Her wandering stare was admirable. "Return unopened? But why? Was it cross?" He laughed aloud, his brilliant teeth flashing. "Si, si, that is it.
"My father has wished me to see you," said Hampstead. Mr. Greenwood went on rubbing his hands, still standing in the middle of the room. "He seems to think it better that you should leave him." "I don't know why he should think it better; but, of course, I will go if he bids me." Mr. Greenwood had quite made up his mind that it would be better for him also that he should go.
Lady Kingsbury's feelings would be sacrificed were her daughter, even her stepdaughter, to become my boy's husband. She supposes that her girl's birth is superior to my boy's." "There are so many meanings to that word 'birth." "I will take it all as you mean, Lord Hampstead, and will not be offended. My boy, as he is, is no match for your sister.
Pelly and Howard Street, in a turning off the lower Hampstead Road I received a letter, forwarded on from our first lodging, from Arncliffe, the editor to whom, some four years before this time, I had taken a letter of introduction.
The cheque Mr Graham returned, saying that, as he was not a preacher by profession, he had no right to take fees. It was a half holiday: he walked up to Hampstead Heath, and was paid for everything, in sky and cloud, fresh air, and a glorious sunset.
She had "looked in" on the momentous morning, having been out to purchase "kidney pertaties," yet, on their Hampstead junketting, we find her coming with the Raddles, in their cab, all the way from Lant Street, Borough. She was clearly Mrs. Raddle's friend and neighbour. Perhaps she had moved, though this is not likely. The household gods of such, like Elia's, strike a deep root.
