Mention of Lord Fleetwood set Sir Meeson harping again on his alarms, in consideration of the vagabond object of the young lord had roamed away with. 'You forget that Russett has gypsy in him: Welsh! it's about the same, said Livia. 'He can take excellent care of himself and his purse. 'Countess, he is a good six days overdue. 'He will be in time for the ball at the Schloss.
Ambrose Mallard has once or twice . . . But let me beg you the town is rageing with it. My dear Russett, a bold front now; there 's the chance of your release in view. 'A rascal in view! Name the sum. 'I must reckon. My head is can you intend to submit? 'So it's Brosey Mallard now. You choose your deputy queerly. He's as bad as Abrane, with steam to it. Chummy Potts would have done better.
They are the instruments of Destiny. There he lay, protesting that the ceremony could not possibly be for the fourteenth, because Countess Livia had, he now remembered, written of her engagement to meet Russett on the night of that day at a ball at Mrs.
When Carinthia Jane, after two years of adventures and perils rarely encountered by women, returned to these shores, she was, they say, most anxious for news of her husband; and then, indeed, it has been conjectured, they might have been united to walk henceforward as one for life, but for the sad fact that the Earl of Fleetwood had two months and some days previously abjured his rank, his remaining property, and his title, to become, there is one report, the Brother Russett of the mountain monastery he visited in simple curiosity once with his betraying friend, Lord Feltre.

A woman foot to foot against his will I see him throwing high stakes. Tyrants are brutal; and really she provokes him enough. You needn't be alarmed about the treatment she 'll meet.
Arm in arm among them were Lord Pitscrew and Russett, Earl of Fleetwood, a great friend of Kirby's; for it was a device of the Old Buccaneer's that helped the earl to win the great Welsh heiress who made him, even before he took to hoarding and buying, one of the wealthiest noblemen in England; but she was crazed by her marriage or the wild scenes leading to it; she never presented herself in society.
I suspect his twinges of gout come of the prospect of affairs when he lands in England. Remember our bill with Madame Clemence. There won't be the ghost of a bank-note for me if Russett quits the field; we shall all be stranded. Henrietta inquired: 'Does it depend on my going with you to-day?

'Not less than three, I fear. 'Has he been pressing? 'You are always good to us, Russett. 'You are always considerate for the honour of the family, ma'am. Order for the money with you here to-morrow. And I thank you for your advice. Do me the favour to follow mine. 'Commands should be the word. 'Phrase it as you please. 'You know I hate responsibility.
