He believed that Parham himself would not be at all sorry to be rid of him. He and his friends formed a powerful group both in the cabinet and out of it. But they were forcing the pace, and the elements of resistance and reaction were strong. He pictured the dismay of his friends, the possible breakdown of the reforming party.
He thought of Lady Palmerston of Princess Lieven fighting Guizot's battles and sighed. By Jove! the women could do most things, if they chose. He recalled Kitty's triumph in the great party gathered to welcome Lord Parham, contrasting it with her wilful and absurd behavior to the man himself. There was something bewildering in such power combined with such folly.
My letter reaches Lady Parham on the stroke of eight." "Kitty, you would be doing a thing perfectly unheard of most rude most unkind!" The stiff, slight figure, like a strained wand, did not waver for a moment before the grave indignation of the older woman. "I should for once be paying off a score that has run on too long."
"George," he said, "you shall go with me to Parham; there is a young lady there who would just suit you!" Crabbe accepted the invitation, made Mr. Tovell's acquaintance, and promptly fell in love with Mr. Tovell's niece. The poet, at that time, had not yet completed his eighteenth year.
Yes I think it did good it did good. I should now rest and be thankful if it weren't for the Bishops!" "The Bishops!" said the Rector of the parish standing near. "What have the Bishops been doing, my lord?" "Dying," said Kitty, as she fell into an attitude which commanded both William and Lord Parham. "They do it on purpose." "Another this morning!" said Ashe, throwing up his hands.

In October of this year Crabbe was again working hard at his botany for like the Friar in Romeo and Juliet his time was always much divided between the counselling of young couples and the "culling of simples" when his household received the tidings of the death of John Tovell of Parham, after a brief illness.

And of course Mr. Cliffe thinks that the government has been very badly served." Lady Tranmore's wonder broke out. "You don't mean that you hear from him?" She turned and looked full at her companion.
"It was all very well when you were quite a free-lance but now Oh! never mind Mary she's discreet and she knows all about it." "What that they're thinking of giving me Hickson's place? Parham has just written to me I found the letter down-stairs to ask me to go and see him." "Oh! it's come?" said Lady Tranmore, with a start of pleasure. Lord Parham was the Prime Minister.
Just look at me sometimes at dinner, and say to yourself, 'William asks me for his sake to be nice to Lord Parham." He again drew her to him, but she repulsed him almost with violence. "Why is he here? Why have we people dining? We ought to be alone in the dark!" Her face had become a white mask. Her breast rose and fell, as though she fought with sobs. "Kitty what do you mean?"
"He arrives to-morrow. On his way from Scotland to Windsor." Mrs. Alcot enjoyed the effect of her communication on her companion. He sat open-mouthed, evidently startled out of all self-command. "Why, I thought that Lady Kitty " "Had vowed vengeance? So, in a sense, she has. It is understood that she and Lady Parham don't meet, except "
