He knew what I had done and why, and he was bound to tell me in order that I might have an opportunity of setting myself right with the Duke. Then I wrote and explained everything, how you had told me of the engagement, and how I had then urged Mr. Tregear that he should not keep such a matter secret from your father. In answer to my letter I have received that." "Shall I write and tell papa?"
When she said this she knew that he had been talked into what he had done by Tregear, by Tregear, who had ambition, and intelligence, and capacity for forming an opinion of his own. "If you do not do it for your own sake, you will for the sake of those who, who, who are your friends," she said at last, not feeling quite able to tell him that he must do it for the sake of those who loved him.
"That seems to be the general idea," said the expectant son-in-law. "When two men want to be first and neither will give way, they can't very well get on in the same boat together." Then he expatiated angrily on the treachery of Sir Timothy, and Tregear in a more moderate way joined in the same opinion. "Upon my word, young men, I doubt whether you are right," said Mr. Boncassen.
He is nearly broken-hearted about dear mamma. He could not bring himself to care about anything of that kind at present. And then it is Mr. Tregear that should speak to him first." "Not now, Mary." "How do you mean not now?" "If you had a mother you would talk to her about it." "Mamma knew." "If she were still living she would tell your father." "But she didn't tell him though she did know.
"You need not be afraid. I shall do nothing elsewhere that I would not do here, and nothing anywhere without telling you." "I know I can trust you." "But, papa, I shall always intend to marry Mr. Tregear." "No!" he exclaimed. "Yes; always. I want you to understand exactly how it is. Nothing you can do can separate me from him." "Mary, that is very wicked."
Tregear's character was good, and certainly the girl loved him. But was it not clear to all who knew anything of such matters that Mr. Francis Tregear should not have dared even to think of marrying the daughter of the Duke of Omnium? Who should be the happy man? There were so many who evidently were unfit. Young Lord Percival was heir to a ruined estate and a beggared peerage.
Nor did he know in what way he could serve the man, except by putting his hand into his pocket, which he did. Tifto accepted the gratuity, and ultimately became an annual pensioner on his former noble partner, living on the allowance made him in some obscure corner of South Wales. On Deportment Frank Tregear had come up to town at the end of February.
"Where's the governor?" he asked, turning to his sister. "Dressing, I should think; but what is the matter?" "I want to see him. I must be off to Cornwall to-morrow morning." "To Cornwall!" said Miss Cassewary. "Why to Cornwall?" asked Lady Mabel. But Mary, connecting Cornwall with Frank Tregear, held her peace. "I can't explain it all now, but I must start very early to-morrow."
They have no shooting, and nothing brings people together now except shooting. I suppose there are things here to be shot. And be sure you write to Silverbridge." The Duke's Guests "The Duke of Omnium presents his compliments to Mr. Francis Tregear, and begs to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Tregear's letter of . The Duke has no other communication to make to Mr.
Lord Chiltern, who had found Silverbridge to be a young man after his own heart, was anxious that he should come back to Harrington and bring Tregear with him. But to this Tregear would not assent, alleging that he should feel himself to be a burden both to Lord and Lady Chiltern. On the Friday Tregear did not go out, saying that he would avoid the expense, and on that day there was a good run.
