In the evening of his third day at Abertewey, there was a concert at the neighbouring town, huge bills of which had been posted up on the walls and houses of the said town, purporting that the entertainment was under the immediate patronage of Howel Jenkins, Esq. of Plas Abertewey, and his friends.
His racers, hunters, hounds, and good dinners were points of union to all the sporting men of the county; and Captain Dancy, Mr Deep, Sir Samuel Spendall, the Simpsons, Madame Duvet, and many others, again adorned Plas Abertewey.
She showed it at once, and delighted Colonel Vaughan by the perfectly natural manner with which she welcomed him, and the frank heartiness of her expressed wish that he should remain in the country now he had returned to it. 'We have never had any one we cared for at Abertewey, she said.
Howel gave some orders in a very commanding tone to the various lords-in-waiting, and then the door closed upon their majesties, and the admiring crowds saw them no more. It is no wonder that the world without Plas Abertewey was much engaged in talking of, and speculating on, the world within.
'And Gladys has done well ever since she's been at Glanyravon by every one belonging to us, not excepting yourself. 'Very much obliged to her, I am sure, said Netta, suddenly sitting up in bed, and forgetting her headache. 'She needn't trouble herself about me. I fancy we are never likely to cross one another again, unless she chances to come a-begging to Abertewey, and then perhaps
So he fell to the lot of Mr Deep, who took him to see Howel's hunters and dogs, and all the other wonders of Abertewey. 'Deep by name, and deep by nature, was Owen's reflection, after his morning with his new acquaintance. 'He has managed to get all my secrets out of me, one excepted; but he has not confided any to me in return.
I am glad he is going to marry that pretty Gladys. When they arrived at home they found the party from Abertewey ready to receive them, at least, Mrs Gwynne Vaughan and her children. The colonel was to join them at dinner. 'Oh, Freda, dear, I am tho glad you are come home again! lisped Mrs Gwynne Vaughan. 'Tho ith Gwynne. He thaith it will be delightful to have you.
He had managed to enlist a large party at Mr Rice Rice's the previous evening, some of whom were to dine at Abertewey, and to go thence to the concert; others to meet him and his friends there. Owen felt lost in the grandeur of that evening, and would have been quite forgotten but for Mme. Duvet, who was constant in her admiration of him.
'I didn't be going to Abertewey since you was coming there, ma'am, said Mrs Griffey, rising and curtseying, to the unspeakable diversion of Mrs Rice Rice and Mr Deep.
Either Netta took this as a matter of course, or was too much absorbed in other thoughts to give it consideration. 'Mamma, I should like Gladys to have some breakfast with us, said Minette, 'she must be so hungry. I think she is a lady, mamma; I like her, she is so kind. 'Yes, Gladys, do, said Netta, 'you know this is not Abertewey. But where did you get this game?
