No one could see as much of her as you've done without knowing she had a love-affair." "That's what I thought." "It's been a great trial," Mrs. Bayford sighed, "and it isn't over yet. In fact, I don't know but what it's only just beginning." "Wasn't he desirable?" "Oh yes; very much so, and is so still. It wasn't that.
His sense of honor alone would have kept him from betraying what might be looked upon as an involuntary confidence, even if it had not better suited his purposes to intrust the matter, in the form of an amusing anecdote, told under the seal of secrecy, to Mrs. Bayford. In her hands it was like invested capital, adding to itself, while he did nothing at all.
Albinia blushed, and took her hand with respect very unlike the patronizing airs of Bayford Bridge towards 'poor old Madame Belmarche, and with downcast eyes, and pretty embarrassment, heard the stately compliments of the ancien regime.

It was possible to get to Hadminster by half-past seven, and on to Bayford by nine o'clock, but Fairmead lay further from the line, and the next train did not stop at the nearest station, so Maurice agreed to sleep at Bayford that night; and this settled, set out with his sister to explore the neighbourhood for eatables and church architecture.

How the dear vicar of Bayford will devour him! and what work I shall have to keep him from being spoilt! 'Then you think they will remain abroad? 'Algernon hates England; and all his habits are foreign. 'Did he make himself tolerably agreeable? 'He really did. One could bear to be patronized by one's host better than by one's guest, and he was in wholesome awe of William.

By some wonderful exertion of Irish faculties, Ulick succeeded in bringing mademoiselle to Bayford in his jaunting car, when she laughed, wept, sobbed, and embraced, in a bewilderment of transport; pronounced the trousseau worthy of an angel of the ancien regime; warned Genevieve against expecting amour to continue instead of amitie, and carried home conversation for the nuns for the rest of their lives.
