Dido had kept faith long enough to the cold ashes of a former lord; she had at last found a comforter, and recognized the vestiges of the old flame. The golden days of Harley would return. The Somersets, the Lees, and the Wyndhams would again surround the throne.
Even Max was somewhat surprised by the boy's fund of high spirits, and Sir Kersley openly expressed his admiration. "You Wyndhams are a very remarkable family," he said to Max that night. Max smiled sardonically in recognition of the compliment. "But the boy has more backbone than I thought," he admitted. "I don't think he will give us much trouble after all, thanks to Olga." "Ah!"
As I have told you before, not one of the Wyndhams is to be trusted. I think you have been too generous in this respect, and have laid yourself open to deception. However now that I have warned you once more, you will perhaps be more careful in the future. I can only hope that my warning has come in time."
It was the very morning we heard of it, three or four hours before the messenger came, that Fanny had expressed her resolution to declare it off, and commissioned me to tell him so. And, therefore, of course, the two things can't have the remotest reference to each other." "I see. There are, or have been, two Fanny Wyndhams separate persons, though both wards of your lordship.

Noel removed his hat and leaned back with a sigh.
He was full of new courage and strength since he had received Z's message, and he was determined that no one should know what he had suffered. The dinner passed pleasantly enough, and by ten o'clock he was at the musical party. There he found the Wyndhams and many other friends, but he looked in vain for Joe; she was not there.
But although the great families of the Wynnes, the Wyndhams, and others had come under an actual obligation to join Prince Charles if he should land, they had done so under the express stipulation that he should be assisted by an auxiliary army of French, without which they foresaw the enterprise would be desperate.
But how you must despise me! It's just the way of the Wyndhams. We all do it. Trevor, why did you make me tell you?" "My dear child," he said, "you must tell me these things. It is your only possibility of happiness, and mine also. Chris, never keep anything from me, for Heaven's sake! Don't you know that I trust you?" "I don't deserve it!" sobbed Chris, clinging faster.
