And, indeed, Spencer had taken peculiar pains to deceive the Mortons, whose interposition he feared little less than that of the Beauforts. "Then it can be of no use to apply to him," said Philip, carelessly, not having any recollection of the name of Spencer, and therefore attaching little importance to the mention of him. "Certainly, I should think not. Depend on it, Mr. Beaufort must know."
It will be good to have some tea when we arrive I'm sure the aunts have got everything beautifully ready," he rattled on, taking her hand in his; and her mind rushed away instantly to the magnificent tea and coffee service of Baltimore silver which the Beauforts had sent, and which "went" so perfectly with uncle Lovell Mingott's trays and side-dishes.
Morality is only found in the middle classes, young gentleman. It is a lucky family, that of Lilburne; his sister, Mrs. Beaufort " "Beaufort!" exclaimed Morton, and then muttered to himself, "Ah, true true; I have heard the name of Lilburne before." "Do you know the Beauforts?
They strolled along together, and presently Winsett said: "Look here, what I'm really after is the name of the dark lady in that swell box of yours with the Beauforts, wasn't she? The one your friend Lefferts seems so smitten by." Archer, he could not have said why, was slightly annoyed. What the devil did Ned Winsett want with Ellen Olenska's name?
But I told him I did not believe that yes, indeed, I told him so." And Sidney endeavoured caressingly to withdraw the hands that his brother placed before his face. Morton started up, and walked hastily to and fro the room. "This," thought he, "is another emissary of the Beauforts' perhaps the lawyer: they will take him from me the last thing left to love and hope for. I will foil them."

"No, she is beautiful, and seems good; not so handsome as your poor mother, but who ever was?" here Mr. Spencer sighed, and repeated some lines from Shenstone. "Do you think Mr. Beaufort suspects in the least who I am?"
The company indeed was perfectly assorted, since all the members belonged to the little inner group of people who, during the long New York season, disported themselves together daily and nightly with apparently undiminished zest. Forty-eight hours later the unbelievable had happened; every one had refused the Mingotts' invitation except the Beauforts and old Mr. Jackson and his sister.
Leonard Copeland had already been released from restraint, and allowed to resume his usual place among the Earl's pages; when the warder announced that he saw two parties approaching from opposite sides of the down, one as if from Salisbury, the other from the north; and presently he reported that the former wore the family badge, a white rosette, the latter none at all, whence it was perceived that the latter were adherents of the Beauforts of Somerset, for though the "Rose of Snow" had been already adopted by York, Somerset had in point of fact not plucked the Red Rose in the Temple gardens, nor was it as yet the badge of Lancaster.
Beauforts, and another friend of the family, went in search of them both. My search failed." "And theirs?" "I understood from Mr. Beaufort that they had not been more successful. I have had no communication with those gentlemen since. But that's neither here nor there.
In doing so, he turned to the side of the house behind him, and saw the lady of whom he was thinking seated in a box with the Beauforts, Lawrence Lefferts and one or two other men.
