He was pledged not to give up Grace Crawley, and he would not yield on that point, though he might be tempted by all the fox-covers in Barsetshire. At this moment he did not know how far his father was prepared to yield, or how far it was expected that he should yield himself. He was told that he had to speak to his mother.
But undoubtedly Mr Walker was a bigger man in his way than was Mr Toogood in his, and did habitually consort in the county of Barsetshire with men of higher standing than those with whom Mr Toogood associated in London. It seemed to be understood that Mr Crawley was to be the general subject of conversation, and no one attempted to talk about anything else.
Harold Smith, getting up to greet him, and screening her pretended ignorance under the veil of the darkness. "And have you really driven over four-and-twenty miles of Barsetshire roads on such a day as this to assist us in our little difficulties? Well, we can promise you gratitude at any rate." And then the vicar shook hands with Mrs.
How hard it is for a rich man not to lean upon his riches! harder, indeed, than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. All Barsetshire knew at any rate all West Barsetshire that Miss Dunstable had been brought down in those parts in order that Mr. Sowerby might marry her.
He addressed a letter to the Barsetshire Conservative Standard, in which he attacked Dr Fillgrave with some considerable acerbity. Dr Fillgrave responded in four lines, saying that on mature consideration he had made up his mind not to notice any remarks that might be made on him by Dr Thorne in the public press.
Frank would now certainly be the first commoner in Barsetshire; of course he would represent the county; of course there would be the house in town; it wouldn't be her house, but she was contented that the grandeur should be that of her child. He would have heaven knows what to spend per annum. And that it should come through Mary Thorne!
"Then I suppose it's an heiress," said Mrs Dale. "No; not an heiress; but she will have some money of her own. And she has connexions in Barsetshire, which makes it pleasant." "Connexions in Barsetshire! Who can it be?" said Lily. "Her name is Emily Dunstable," said the squire, "and she is the niece of that Miss Dunstable who married Dr Thorne and who lives at Chaldicotes."
Of his intention in this respect he had never spoken in plain language to either of his sons; but the major had for the last year or two enjoyed the shooting of the Barsetshire covers, giving what orders he pleased about the game; and the father had encouraged him to take something like the management of the property into his hands.
She did, however, know that Lady Cantrip was a countess all over, and would be shocked at the idea of a daughter of a Duke of Omnium marrying the younger son of a country squire. Nothing further was then said on the matter, and when the Duke went to town Lady Mary was left quite alone, with an understanding that if he went into Barsetshire he should come back and take her with him.
That butcher in Silverbridge was playing the mischief with him." "All the butchers in Barsetshire could not make an honest man steal money, and I think that Mr Crawley is an honest man. You'll excuse me for being a little hot about one of my own order." "Why, he's my cousin, or rather, my wife's.
