Walking through one of them reminds me of being at the bottom of some crevasse or gorge, the proper surface of the globe being the tops of the houses. 'You will come to take care of us, John? And you, Mr. Neigh, would like to come? We will tell Mr. Ladywell that he may join us if he cares to, said Mrs. Belmaine.
Well, at last we got back again, but couldn't reach the carriage for the crowd; and I don't know what we should have done if a gentleman hadn't come sent by Mrs. Belmaine, who was in a great fright about us; then he was introduced to me, and I wonder how it will end! 'Was there anything so wonderful in the beginning, then? 'Yes.
'Ever since the first edition. 'Yes. Mrs. Belmaine, who really sprang from a good old family, had been going to say, 'for the last seven hundred years, but fancying from Ethelberta's addendum that she might not date back more than a trifling century or so, adopted the suggestion with her usual well-known courtesy, and blushed down to her locket at the thought of the mistake that she might have made.
She stood with her head against the marble slab just below the bust, and began a selected piece, Neigh standing a few yards off on her right looking into his hat in order to listen accurately, Mr. and Mrs. Belmaine and Mrs. Doncastle seating themselves in a pew directly facing the monument.
'Ah so it was: but the example will do to illustrate my meaning. 'Quite so I understand so it will, said Mrs. Belmaine, with clouded faculties. Meanwhile Christopher's music had arrived. An accomplished gentleman who had every musical talent except that of creation, scanned the notes carefully from top to bottom, and sat down to accompany the singer.
We ought to quicken our memories of the great, and of where they lie, by such a visit occasionally. 'We ought, said Mrs. Belmaine. 'And why shouldn't we? continued Ethelberta, with interest. 'To Westminster Abbey? said Mr. Belmaine, a common man of thirty, younger than his wife, who had lately come into the room. 'No; to where he lies comparatively alone Cripplegate Church.
She could not help noticing his fixed gaze, and she said quickly, 'Yes, I have lost my pretty rose: this may as well go now, and she plucked the stem from its fastening in her dress and flung it away. Poor Ladywell turned round to meet Mr. and Mrs. Belmaine, whose voices were beginning to be heard just within the church door, leaving Neigh and Ethelberta together.
Belmaine observing this, and mistaking it for an indication that Neigh had been dragged into the party against his will by his over-hasty wife, arranged that Neigh should go independently and meet them there at the hour named if he chose to do so, to give him an opportunity of staying away. Ethelberta also was by this time doubting if she had not been too eager with her proposal.
'Let us have your favourite, by all means, said another friend of Ethelberta's who was present Mrs. Doncastle. 'I am so sorry that I cannot oblige you, since you wish to hear it, replied the poetess regretfully; 'but the music is at home. I had not received it when I lent the others to Miss Belmaine, and it is only in manuscript like the rest.
Neigh's remark that he believed he should see Ethelberta again the next day referred to a contemplated pilgrimage of an unusual sort which had been arranged for that day by Mrs. Belmaine upon the ground of an incidental suggestion of Ethelberta's.
