He was created Earl of Kent, February 11, 1227. A. Margaret, daughter and heir of Robert de Arsic or Arsike: dates unknown. B. Beatrice, daughter and sole heir of William de Warenne of Wirmgay, and widow of Dodo Bardolf: apparently married after 1209, and died in or about 1214.
But singing, and beautiful singing in a Catholic chapel by a woman; perhaps a beautiful woman, that is quite a different thing, and I should have been amused, which nobody seems ever to think of here. I do not know how you find it, Lady Bardolf, but the country to me in August is a something;" and not finishing his sentence, Mr Mountchesney gave a look of inexpressible despair.
'I have just returned from Paris; the first time I have been out; and, had it not been for you, she added, 'I should not have been here to-night. I think they would have put me in prison. 'Lady Bardolf ought to be very much obliged to me, and so ought the world. 'I am, said Lady Bertie and Bellair. 'That is worth everything else, said Tancred. 'What a pretty carriage you have!
"Somebody said he was going to be married," said Lady de Mowbray. "His mother wishes him to marry," said Lady Bardolf; "but I have heard nothing." Mr Mountchesney came in and greeted the Bardolfs with some warmth. "How delightful in the country in August to meet somebody that you have seen in London in June!" he exclaimed.
But we have no need of management. Your claim on the barony of Lovel is very good: I could recommend your pursuing it, did not another more inviting still present itself. In a word, if you wish to be Lord Bardolf, I will undertake to make you so, before, in all probability, Sir Robert Peel obtains office; and that I should think would gratify Lady Firebrace."
"Ah! he always had a twist," said Lady St Julians, "and used to breakfast with that horrid Mr Trenchard, and do those sort of things. But still with his immense fortune, I should think he would become rational." "You may well say immense," said Lady Bardolf.
"The best thing we can all do is to be on our estates I believe," said Lord de Mowbray. "My neighbour Marney is in a great state of excitement," said Lord Bardolf; "all his yeomanry out." "But he is quiet at Marney?" "In a way; but these fires puzzle us. Marney will not believe that the condition of the labourer has anything to do with them; and he certainly is a very acute man.
"Well, I am glad it is they; I thought it might be an irruption of barbarians. Lady Bardolf will bring us some news." Lord and Lady Bardolf were not alone; they were accompanied by a gentleman who had been staying on a visit at Firebrace, and who, being acquainted with Lord de Mowbray, had paid his respects to the castle in his way to London.
"Mr Ormsby, and there is no better judge of another man's income, says there are not three peers in the kingdom who have so much a year clear." "They say the Mowbray estate is forty thousand a year," said Lady St Julians. "Poor Lady de Mowbray! I understand that Mr Mountchesney has resolved not to appeal against the verdict." "You know he has not a shadow of a chance," said Lady Bardolf.
Lady Bardolf was always putting herself in the way of it; she never lost an opportunity; she never missed a drawing-room, contrived to be at all the court balls, plotted to be invited to a costume fête, and expended the tactics of a campaign to get asked to some grand château honoured by august presence. Still Her Majesty had not yet sent for Lady Bardolf.
