Here took up Knepp into our coach, and all of us with her to her lodgings, and thither comes Bannister with a song of hers, that he hath set in Sir Charles Sidly's play for her, which is, I think, but very meanly set; but this he did, before us, teach her, and it being but a slight, silly, short ayre, she learnt it presently.
I hoped we could settle it amicably. It's merely this: you must release Eugene from his engagement." Kate did not trouble to affect surprise. She knew it would be useless. "Did he send you to tell me this?" "You know he didn't." "Then whose envoy are you? Ah! perhaps you are Claudia Territon's chosen knight?" "Not at all," said Ayre, still unruffled.
"They are very ornamental," remarked Claudia. "In some cases, undoubtedly," said Morewood. "If you mean a titled class," said Ayre, "I quite agree. I object to titles. They only confuse ranks. A sweep is made a lord, and outsiders think he's a gentlemen." "Come, you're a baronet yourself, you know," said Eugene.
The Norther lands haue lesse store of snow, more grasse, and are more plaine Countreys: the cause whereof may be, for that the Souther Ilands receiue all the snow, that the cold winds and piercing ayre bring out of the North. They are men very actiue and nimble. They haue also some garments of feathers, being made of the cases of Foules, finely sowed and compact togither.
Haddington didn't believe she did. "Go away?" he said to himself. "Hardly! The play is just beginning. Little Lady Claudia wasn't far out." It is very possible she was not far out in her estimation of Mr. Haddington's character, as well as in her forecast of his prospects. But the fruits of her shrewdness on this point were happily hid from the gentleman concerned. Sir Roderick Ayre Inspects Mr.
Thence up, and after a turn or two in the 'Change, home to the Old Exchange by coach, where great newes and true, I saw by written letters, of strange fires seen at Amsterdam in the ayre, and not only there, but in other places thereabout. The talke of a Dutch warr is not so hot, but yet I fear it will come to it at last. So home and to the office, where we sat late.
Do you know where she is?" "I shall send a wire to Territon Park. Rick's sure to be there if she isn't, and I'll go down and find out about it." "Wait a minute, will you? Have you heard from your friend Stafford lately?" A shadow fell on Eugene's face. "No. But that's over. Must be, or he'd never have bolted from Millstead." Ayre was silent a moment.
Anne Jones at her mother's door, and so to take the ayre to Hackney, where good neat's tongue, and things to eat and drink, and very merry, the weather being mighty pleasant; and here I was told that at their church they have a fair pair of organs, which play while the people sing, which I am mighty glad of, wishing the like at our church at London, and would give L50 towards it.
"Then you shouldn't have it for ten thousand." "I thought you'd say that. But he mustn't see it." "Why, Lane, you're as bad as a child. It's a man in love, that's all." "If he saw it," said Eugene, "he'd hang himself." "Oh, gently!" said Ayre. "If you ask me, I expect Stafford will pretty soon get beyond any surprise at the revelation. He must walk his path, like all of us.
Thence leaving them I made an excuse and away home, and took my wife by coach and left her at Madam Clerk's, to make a visit there, and I to the Committee of Tangier, where I found, to my great joy, my Lord Sandwich, the first time I have seen him abroad these some months, and by and by he rose and took leave, being, it seems, this night to go to Kensington or Chelsey, where he hath taken a lodging for a while to take the ayre.
