One of the few instances I remember of our Jorian stooping to a pun, is upon the contango: ingenious truly, but objectionable, because a pun. I shall not be guilty of repeating it. "The stockmarket is the national snapdragon bowl," he says, and is very amusing upon the Jews; whether quite fairly, Mr. Beltham knows better than I, on my honour.
It's Scripture says we're going from better to worse, and that's Tory doctrine. And stick to the good as long as you can! Why, William, you were a jolly bachelor once. 'Sir, and ma'am, the captain bowed to Dorothy Beltham, 'I have, thanks to you, never known happiness but in marriage, and all I want is my wife. The squire fretted for Janet to depart. 'I 'm going, grandada, she said.
'I have to hit my memory, I am shattered, sir. I say, you would be justified, amply justified 'How long? was reiterated. 'I can at least date it from the period of my marriage. 'From the date when your scoundrelism first touches my family, that's to say! So "Government" agreed to give you a stipend to support your wife! 'Mr. Beltham, I breathe with difficulty.
'But I presume you have done me the honour to invite me to this conference on a point of business, Mr. Beltham? said my father, admonished by the hint. 'I have, sir, the squire replied. 'And I also have a point. And, in fact, it is urgent, and with your permission, Mr. Beltham, I will lead the way. 'No, sir, if you please.
He regretted that Janet was no better than her sex in her preference for rakes, and wished me to the deuce for bringing Heriot into the house, and not knowing when I was lucky. 'German grandchildren, eh! he muttered. No Beltham had ever married a foreigner. What was the time fixed between us for the marriage? He wanted to see his line safe before he died.
Pray believe that I would have been here even sooner but for the delay inevitable on a first performance. But you are cold," he broke off, for Lady Beltham was shivering. "Yes, I am," she said almost inaudibly, mechanically pulling a scarf over her shoulders.
'Just excuse me I must ask for the purpose of my inquiry; there, tell me, how much do you believe you 've got of that money remaining? None o' that Peterborough style of counting in the back of your pate. Say! There was a dreadful silence. My father leaned persuasively forward. 'Mr. Beltham, I crave permission to take up the word. Allow me to remind you of the prize Harry has won.
He flung his cloak and hat theatrically on the arm-chair, and moved towards Lady Beltham, who still sat motionless with her face hidden in her hands. "I have come!" he said in deep tones. Lady Beltham uttered a little exclamation as if of surprise, and seemed even more anxious to hide from him. "Odd!" thought Valgrand. "She seems to be really upset; what can I say to her, I wonder?"
My dear aunt, good woman though she was, seemed to me to be waxing miserly. The squire had given her the name of Parsimony; she had vexed him, Janet told me, by subscribing a miserable sum to a sailors' asylum that he patronized a sum he was ashamed to see standing as the gift of a Beltham; and she had stopped the building of a wing of her village school-house, designed upon his plan.
"Not that!" said Gurn nervously; "don't talk about Fantômas! We did all we could. But the main thing now is that I should escape them. I had better get away, across the Channel, across the Atlantic, anywhere. But would you come too?" Lady Beltham did not hesitate. She flung her arms around the neck of the man who had murdered her own husband, and yielded to a paroxysm of wild passion.
