'The first report was, that you had gone, but that seemed without foundation; but Coningsby was quite given up. Where are they now? 'They are both at their tutors'. I thought they had better keep quiet. Vere is with Millbank, and we are going back to Coningsby directly; but we thought it best to show, finding on our arrival that there were all sorts of rumours about.
As much as any of them, as the oldest-familied and longest-leisured of them, his manners had "that repose Which marks the caste of Vere de Vere," and is supposed to distinguish them from those of the castes of Smith and Brown.
At the mere thought of such a conversation her whole body tingled. She got up from her chair. "Well, good-night, Vere," she said. And she left the room, leaving her child amazed. Vere did not understand why her mother had come, nor why, having come, she abruptly went away. There was something the matter with her mother. She had felt that for some time. She was more conscious than ever of it now.
Has Mr Dudley read the signs correctly?" I had to confess, making as light of it as possible, but they weren't deceived a bit. "You hardly looked as if you didn't `care," Will remarked drily, and Vere said quite quickly and eagerly "You must go, Babs of course you must go! It is the very thing you need.

She knew intuitively, and starting up, her unclosed eyes flashed eagerly around the room, turning at last toward the door where she felt that he was standing. James De Vere remained motionless, watching intently the fair, troubled face, which had never seemed so fair to him, before. "Brother, have you deceived me? Where is he?" she said at last, as her listening ear caught no new sound.
