Myers for this act of kindness. Mr. Myers assured Mrs. Wilbram that it would mean no trouble at all; he would send up the order as soon as his boy came back from delivering a beefsteak to the Mortimer Trevelyans. He filled out a slip and stuck it on the hook. "Now, Mr. Downey," he said briskly. But Jacob Downey gave him one tremendous look and limped out of the shop.
He put the finishing stroke to his various labours; resigned his seat in the Council, and his Presidentships of the Law Commission and the Committee of Public Instruction; and, in company with the Trevelyans, sailed for England in the first fortnight of the year 1838. To Mr Thomas Flower Ellis. Calcutta: December 16, 1834. Dear Ellis, Many thanks for your letter.
She had become aware that Mr. Glascock had already heard of the unfortunate affair in Curzon Street. Indeed, every one who knew the Trevelyans had heard of it, and a great many who did not know them. No harm, therefore, could be done by mentioning the circumstance.
"If I am anywhere near you, I must always attend to you before every one and anything in the wide world," she said, impulsively. "You are making very sure that my wife will not like you," I said. "What if I have no wife?" She shook her head gravely. "You will marry, Sir Edgar. All the Trevelyans of Crown Anstey marry, as becomes the head of a grand old family.
Myers's little girl was better; that they were taking their meals at the Clarendon pending the mobilization of their house-servants; that they expected to dine with the Mortimer Trevelyans this evening; that food for the dog may with propriety be brought home from a hotel, but not from the Mortimer Trevelyans; that there was utterly nothing in the icebox for poor Mudge's supper; that Mudge was a chow dog purchased by a friend of Mr.
"I don't suppose all this will make any difference to Mr. Gibson," said Miss Stanbury to her niece, on the morning after the receipt of Priscilla's note stating that the Trevelyans had left Nuncombe. Dorothy always blushed when Mr. Gibson's name was mentioned, and she blushed now. But she did not at all understand her aunt's allusion. "I don't know what you mean, aunt," she said.
I heard the sound of carriage wheels in the distance, and, looking down the long vista of trees, I saw a hearse slowly driven up, and then I knew that the dead Trevelyans had been brought home. The desolation and sadness of that scene I shall never forget the hearse, the dark, waving plumes, the sight of the two heavy laden coffins, the servants all in mourning.
