"Load your muskets, lads!" exclaimed Mildmay, as, with eyes gleaming and nostrils dilated, the old war-horse snuffed the approaching battle; "load your muskets, and then take to your oars again and back her steadily up stream. Sharp's the word and quick's the action; if those rascals `outflank' us as the sodgers call it we may say `good-bye' to old England.
Mathieson, many other donations were in due course forwarded to me. My introduction, however, to the Conference at Mildmay did far more for me than even this; it opened up a series of drawing-room meetings in and around London, where I told the story of our Mission and preached, the Gospel to many in the higher walks of life, and received most liberal support for the Mission Ship.
Miss Mildmay was at home it would have been strange had she not been so, considering that she had known for quite a week the exact day and hour at which her guests were expected.
'I should rather think so, said Jacinth in an authoritative and yet mysterious tone. 'I do wish, mamma, you would make Frances leave off speaking as if we were paupers. It is scarcely necessary to say that this conversation and others of a similar kind did not take place in Lady Myrtle's presence. And towards the end of July, sooner than he had hoped for, Colonel Mildmay arrived.
And then she forgot about the Harpers again. But with her grateful feelings to Lady Myrtle, Miss Mildmay naturally felt that the least she could do was to clear a day for herself by working extra hard, so as to be able to spend part of it at Robin Redbreast, as the old lady much wished her to do.
"Mildmay will lose his bill," said the Earl, sorrowfully. "There does not seem to be a doubt about that." "And what will you all do?" asked Lady Laura. "We must go to the country, I suppose," said the Earl. "What's the use? You can't have a more liberal House than you have now," said Lady Laura. "We may have one less liberal, or rather less radical, with fewer men to support Mr. Turnbull.
Daubeny, interrupting him; "By no means as a god out of a machine," continued Mr. Mildmay, "but as a real help in a very real trouble, and succeeded not only in saving my right honourable friend, the Chancellor of the Duchy, but in arresting the two malefactors who attempted to rob him in the street." Then there was a cry of "name;" and Mr. Mildmay of course named the member for Loughshane.
Believe me, Finn, if you want to be useful, you must submit yourself in such matters to those with whom you act." Phineas had no answer to make, but he was not happy in his mind. And he was the less happy, perhaps, because he was very sure that Mr. Mildmay would be beaten. Mr. Low in these days harassed him sorely. Mr. Low was very keen against such boroughs as Loughton, declaring that Mr.
Wyndham, who was afterwards to be such a splendid Mildmay, played Hawksley, and Alfred Wigan was Mildmay, as he had been in the original production. When the play is revived now, much of it seems very old-fashioned, but the office scene strikes one as freshly and strongly as when it was first acted. I don't think that any drama which is vital and essential can ever be old-fashioned.
"Nothing at all; nothing on earth. How dare you ask such a question? If Captain De Baron is engaged, I can't make him keep his engagements." "You can make him break them." "That is not true. I can make him do nothing of the kind. You have no right to talk to me in this way, Miss Mildmay." "Then I shall do it without a right. You have come between me and all my happiness."
