It was very strange that it should be so; that he should not openly show himself. There was another way by which perhaps the doubt might be solved as it suddenly occurred to Lionel. And that was through Captain Cannonby. If this gentleman really was with Frederick Massingbird when he died, and saw him buried, it was evident that it could not be Frederick come back to life.
"You look as though you would." Decima turned to them. She had stood buried in a reverie, until the light tone of Lionel aroused her from it. "Which is real, Lionel? This joking, or that you have lost Verner's Pride?" "Both," he answered. "I am disinherited from Verner's Pride; better perhaps that I should joke over it, than cry." "What will mamma do?

George Bertram senior between the hours of eleven and five. He was ten years older than his brother, Sir Lionel, and at the time of which I write might be about seventy. He was still unmarried, and in this respect had always been regarded by Sir Lionel as a fountain from whence his own son might fairly expect such waters as were necessary for his present maintenance and future well-being.

Consols, for the sole use and benefit of his granddaughter, Caroline Harcourt.
The exhilaration of the trio in front, as attested by the wild shout sent back by Lionel Beauchamp as they cleared the first of those bigger fences previously mentioned, put Sylla's blood thoroughly up. Heedless of Jim's "For God's sake, take a pull!" she struck her mare sharply with the whip, and sent her at it as fast as she could lay legs to the ground.
If I give her a hint of your designs, I should think there is nothing she would like better than to do a little bit of cutting-out business, and temporarily capture Lionel Beauchamp under the very guns of the fair Blanche; however, I shall be guided by events.

Then he disappeared again. "Why doesn't he fire?" Lionel asked, presently. "He must be quite close to them." "Not so close as you imagine," was the answer. "Probably he is waiting until they come nearer together."
She found Lionel always ready to accept her advances with open-hearted cordiality, but she had to make the advances. She had not meant to do this. Her idea had been to be a magnet, and magnets keep quite still; needles do all the moving. And Winn wouldn't behave at a disadvantage; he was neither tyrannical nor jealous.
