If Alexandrina were going to marry the eldest son of a marquis, you would have a longer procession to church than will be necessary when she marries me." "You put it in such an odd way, Adolphus." "It's all right so long as we understand each other. I can assure you I don't want any procession at all.
Would Lily Dale have required the use of a carriage, got up to look as though it were private, at the expense of her husband's beefsteaks and clean shirts? That question and others of that nature were asked by Crosbie within his own mind, not unfrequently. But, nevertheless, he tried to love Alexandrina, or rather to persuade himself that he loved her.
But when a clerk in a public office marries an earl's daughter, he cannot expect to have everything his own way. Lady Amelia had bought the ordinary furniture, the beds, the stair-carpets, the washing-stands, and the kitchen things. Gazebee had got a bargain of the dinner-table and sideboard. But Lady Alexandrina herself was to come up with reference to the appurtenances of the drawing-room.
Captain Barker, therefore, ascended to higher ground, and, at length, obtained a view of the Lake Alexandrina, and the channel of its communication with the sea to the N.E. He now descended to the flat, and frequently expressed his anxious wish to Mr. Kent that I had been one of their number to enjoy the beauty of the scenery around them, and to participate in their labours.
On entering the room she found that Augusta and the Lady Alexandrina were also there, and she hesitated for a moment at the door. "Come in, Mary," said Beatrice, "you know my cousin Alexandrina." Mary came in, and having shaken hands with her two friends, was bowing to the lady, when the lady condescended, put out her noble hand, and touched Miss Thorne's fingers.
A really charming woman, a Miss Alexandrina Ramsay, who has lived for years in Italy, is anxious to give a series of lectures on Dante. I am sure they will be interesting, for she can put so much local colour into them, and I understand she is a fluent Italian scholar.
There are several other varieties, including M. conspicua Soulangeana nigra, with dark purplish flowers; M. conspicua Alexandrina, M. conspicua Soulangeana speciosa, and M. conspicua Norbertii. M. CORDATA, a native of the Southern Alleghanies , is still rare in collections. It is a small-growing, deciduous species, with yellow flowers, that are neither scented nor showy.
Mr Crosbie, you know, only lived with his wife for one month." "So I've been told." "And a terrible month they had of it. I used to hear of it. He doesn't look that sort of man, does he?" "Well; no. I don't think he does. But what sort of man do you mean?" "Why, such a regular Bluebeard! Of course you know how he treated another girl before he married Lady Alexandrina.
But to you, at least, I promise that I will explain it all before I leave Courcy." He at any rate succeeded in mystifying Lady Alexandrina. "I don't believe he is engaged a bit," she said to Lady Amelia Gazebee that night. "Nonsense, my dear. Lady Julia wouldn't speak of it in that certain way if she didn't know. Of course he doesn't wish to have it talked about."
It had been at one time intended that the journey to Folkestone should be made simply as the first stage to Paris, but Paris and all foreign travelling had been given up by degrees. "I don't care a bit about France; we have been there so often," Alexandrina said.
