I half pacified him by delivering Lord Windermear's polite message; but he continued his interrogations, and although I had pointed out to him that a De Benyon would never be guilty of an untruth, I am afraid I told some half dozen on this occasion; but I consoled myself with the reflection, that, in the code of honour of a fashionable man, he is bound, if necessary, to tell falsehoods where a lady is concerned; so I said I had driven through the streets looking at the houses, and had twice stopped and had gone in to examine them.
She flung herself into the fight with unstinted zeal, and was rewarded by Quisanté's conviction that he had at last entirely overcome her dislike of him. "He's really splendid in his own way," she wrote to Jimmy Benyon by now they had come to corresponding occasionally "and I think that you anyhow I don't ask Dick, who's got a fight of his own might come and give him some help.
"Send her to school," Aunt Grace Mary gasped. "She would be expelled in a month," Mrs. Caldwell averred. "Possibly; but it would be worth the trial," Aunt Grace Mary rejoined in her breathless way. "Yes," Lady Benyon agreed. "She has been at home far too long, running wild, and it's the only thing to be done. But let it be a strict school." "How am I to afford it?" Mrs.
There is a property which it is supposed may be claimed by one of the De Benyons, but which we cannot ascertain until we have a little search into the genealogical tree." "Is the property large?" inquired Mr De Benyon. "Not very large," replied I; "but still a very handsome property, I am told." The reader may surmise that the property referred to was my own pretty self.
Though he had not succeeded in getting the British Ambassador, Benyon, the military attaché at Washington, was to come with his wife, and Lord Woolwich, who was aide-de-camp at Ottawa, had promised to act as best man.
Mr Masterton laughed and said, "Let us all go up stairs, and not wait to be sent for." He called one of the waiters, and desired him to announce them to General De Benyon. They then followed the waiter, leaving me alone. I must say, that I was a little agitated; I heard the door open above, and then an angry growl like that of a wild beast; the door closed again and all was quiet.
"If you wrong a stranger, you offer an apology; how much more is it due to a near relation?" "But a parent has claims upon his own son, sir, for which he is bound to tender his duty." "I grant it, in the ordinary course of things in this life; but, General De Benyon, what claims have you as a parent upon me?
She had more color it was very delicately rosy than she had had of old, in spite of her black dress; and the effect of looking at him seemed to him to make her eyes grow still prettier. Though sisterless now, she was not without duties, and Benyon could easily see that life would press hard on her unless some one should interfere. Every one regarded her as just the person to do certain things.
She would not merely have herself to thank for the troubles which would certainly come upon her; her misfortunes must be regarded as in part a proper punishment for the annoyance she was inflicting on her friends. As for Dick Benyon, it was impossible to speak to him without perceiving that if remorse be in truth the sharpest penalty of sin, he was already punished enough.
On one occasion when she had done so, Lady Benyon made her take a seat in the window where she was sitting herself, so that they could both look out. Beth and Bernadine sat in the background with a picture-book, in which they seemed so absorbed that the conversation flowed on before them with very little constraint. Beth's ears were open, however, as usual.
