If Ricarda were trying to win Norman Hylton, would she be so base as to leave him under the delusion that she was a Neville, possibly of the noble stock of the Lords of Raby? Mr Hylton's friends, if not himself, would regard with unutterable scorn the idea of marriage with a confectioner's daughter. He would be held to have demeaned himself to the verge of social extinction.
The country was in a state of profound peace. Opposition to the tax among the moneyed interests was widespread. Test suits were brought and after most elaborate and exhaustive argument and reargument the Hylton and Springer cases were distinguished and the act was held unconstitutional. This conclusion was fatal to the act.
I exclaimed, for I wanted an opportunity for another chat with the dark-eyed girl who was engaged to the man whose alias was Hornby. I particularly desired to ascertain the reason of her fear when I had mentioned the Lola, and whether she possessed any knowledge of Hylton Chater.
So, early in the year, George had plucked up courage to propose to Miss Hylton, after meeting and secretly adoring her for some months past, and she, to the general astonishment, had accepted him. He had a private income not a large one of his own, and had saved out of it.
"Soothly, Mistress, I would not by my good will do my kinswoman an ill turn; yet either must I do so, or else hold my peace at wrong done to my Lady Foljambe, and peradventure to Master Hylton. My cousin Ricarda is not of my father's kin. She is daughter unto mine uncle, the patty-maker in the Strand. I know of no kin on my father's side." "Holy Mary!" cried the scandalised Perrote.
Wrote to Hylton Jolliffe to beg he would turn his attention to the subject of steam navigation to India by the Red Sea, as a private speculation. November 21. Read a letter from Sir G. Murray. It seems the Duke, Lord Melville, and Sir George are to meet soon to consider whether some alteration should not be made in the rules of the Order of the Bath.
"What advantage should gold buttons be to you? Those pearl do attach your gown full evenly as well." "Hylton, thou hast no ambitiousness in thee! "That is, they should pay much respect to the blue velvet and the gold buttons? You should be no different that I can see." "I should be a vast sight comelier, man alive!" "You!" returned Hylton. "Where's the good of talking to thee?
Yet it was utterly different from the self-satisfied expression which beamed out of Sir Godfrey's eyes. "What manner of man is Master Hylton?" she asked of Agatha, who always sat next her. Precedence at table was regulated by strict rules. "The youngest of six brethren; prithee, trouble not thine head over him," was that young lady's answer.
Early in 1796 Marshall made his first appearance before the Supreme Court, in the case of Ware vs. Hylton. The fame of his defense of "the British Treaty" during the previous year had preceded him, and his reception by the Federalist leaders from New York and New England was notably cordial. His argument before the Court, too, though it did not in the end prevail, added greatly to his reputation.
'Now, mater dear, you really mustn't! interrupted the irrepressible Jessie; 'Mrs. Hylton is on our side, you know. She likes pretty things about her don't you, Mrs. Hylton?
