Chillon had done that; Lady Arpington, to some extent; Henrietta more. A little incident, pointing in no direction, had left a shadow of a cloud, consequent upon Lady Arpington's mention of Henrietta's unprotectedness. Stepping up the hill to meet her sister, on the morning of Henrietta's departure for London under the convoy of Mr.
I will drive down to this address you give me. She is a civil person? 'Her breeding is perfect, said Gower. 'Perfect breeding, you say? Lady Arpington was reduced to a murmur. She considered the speaker: his outlandish garb, his unprotesting self- possession. He spoke good English by habit, her ear told her.
'My lady, adieu until I am over with this Calesford, he gestured, as in fetters. She spared him the my lording as she said adieu, sensitive as she was, and to his perception now. Lady Arpington had a satisfactory two minutes with him before he left the house.
The bow, the welcome, and the introductory remarks passed rapidly as the pull at two sides of a curtain opening on a scene that stiffens courtliness to hard attention. After the names of Admiral Baldwin and 'the Mr. Woodseer, the name of Whitechapel was mentioned by Lady Arpington. It might have been the name of any other place.
Other letters were opened: from the Countess Livia, from Lady Arpington, from Captain Kirby-Levellier. There was one from his lawyers, informing him of their receipt of a communication dated South Wales, December 11th, and signed Owain Wythan; to the effect, that the birth of a son to the Earl of Fleetwood was registered on the day of the date, with a copy of the document forwarded.
The Countess Livia, not an innocent like Henrietta had escaped the poisoned tongues by contracting a third marriage 'in time! Lady Arpington said; and the knotty question was presented to a young mind: Why are the innocents tempted to their ruin, and the darker natures allowed an escape? Any street-boy could have told her of the virtue in quick wits.
She was, alone, and thrown into a torture of perplexity: for she wanted advice as to the advice to be given to Janey, and Livia was an utterly unprofitable person to consult in the case. She thought of Lady Arpington, not many doors distant. Drinking one hasty cup of tea, she sent for her bonnet, and hastened away to the great lady, whom she found rising from breakfast with the marquis.
Nevertheless, Lord Fleetwood mounted the steps to his house door, still listening. His 'Asmodeus, on the tongue of the world, might be doing the part of Mentor really. The house door stood open. Fleetwood said something to Gower; he swung round, beheld the ladies and advanced to them, saluting. 'My dear Lady Arpington! quite so, you arrive opportunely.
Lady Arpington found her there, nursing one of the wounded, and her uncle on his death-bed; obdurate all round against her husband, but pensive when supplicated to consider her country endangered by Rome. She is a fervent patriot. The tales of her Whitechapel origin, and heading mobs wielding bludgeons, are absolutely false, traceable to scandalizing anecdotists like Mr. Rose Mackrell.
Her mask of ingenuousness was flung away for a look of craft, which could be power; and with her changed aspect his tolerance changed to hatred. 'A shop, Lady Arpington explained for his better direction: 'potatoes, vegetable stuff. Honest people, I am to believe. She is indifferent to her food, she says.
