And indeed it was high time he set up house for himself. There is a restlessness in a man which means marriage; and a mother soon becomes aware of it. Recalling her thoughts to the letters before her, Lady Coryston perceived among them a note from Lady William Newbury asking her and Marcia to spend a week-end at Hoddon Grey. Lady Coryston rather wearily reflected that she must no doubt accept.
And some one at the back of the courtroom said in a deep voice; "Read the lady's letter." It seemed inevitable. Mr. Bromley had separated a letter from the bundle of papers. Involuntarily Marcia started up. But the knocking of the gavel, sounding smartly, insistently, above the confusion, brought unexpected deliverance.
"But now with the sun shining over Lost Mountain, it's all so right safe and still and happy that I'm sorry for the hurt of last night. No, I am not going to suffer. I'm going to be just lil' Cyn again. I thought you would like to know." "Oh, dear," and then Marcia laughed. "You-all make me want to cry so easily! I am glad, dear.
For example, many brains had been puzzled by the Fugato in 6/8 time which comes after the chorus, Froh wie seine Sonnen fliegen, in the movement of the finale marked alia marcia.

Sic semper tyrannus.
He skulked out of the road five minutes ago to avoid Marcia, for he knew she would open upon him for his dereliction of pleasure. "Marcia has been here," he announces. "She has said something to you, the spiteful little cat! See here, I can guess what unmitigated drivel it is.
"I always knew we would hear from those lost tickets, and now my accounts are all perfectly straight. Won't Cousin Marcia be pleased!" "Cousin Marcia!" Tessie could not help repeating, as she all but stumbled from the room in her confusion. To be rid of that nightmare. To have made complete amends for that ticket money! Now she could face the world!
A subprefect, in the nature of his calling, had too many enemies to relish repetition in the palace precincts of a threat from Marcia, however baseless it might be.
