Caldwell wailed, rocking herself on her chair. "Well, there's the Royal Service School for Officers' Daughters; you can get her in there for next to nothing, and it's strict enough," Lady Benyon suggested. And finally, after the loss of some more precious time, and with much reluctance, Mrs.
He always rose to the occasion, Dick Benyon maintained; and to this great occasion he came marvellously near to rising. This is not to say that he was altogether in the temper of a hero of romance. He loved the lady, but he loved the victory too, the report of it, the éclat, the talk it would make.
I sent in my card requesting the honour of speaking to Mr De Benyon, stating that I had come over to Ireland on business of importance, but that, as I must be back if possible by term time, it would perhaps save much expense and trouble. The waiter took in the message. "Back by term time it must be some legal gentleman. Show him up," said Mr De Benyon. I walked in with a business-like air.
"I say, hang it all!" moaned Jimmy Benyon. But his protest could not soften the old lady's convinced hostility. "You ask his aunt," she ended vindictively, and Jimmy was too timid to suggest that enquiries in such a quarter were not the usual way of forming a judgment on rising statesmen.

"After twenty-two children," Lady Benyon remarked, "one cannot expect to be as active as one was." "No, indeed," Mrs. Caldwell answered cheerfully. "I have only had as good as fourteen, and I'm quite a wreck. I don't know what it is to pass a day free from pain. But, however, it is so ordered, and I don't complain. If only they turn out well when they do come, that's everything."
Caldwell assured Lady Benyon afterwards that she should never forget that moment. Beth used to wonder why. The end of the holidays found Beth in a very different mood. Jim had come with the ideas of his adolescence, and Mildred had brought new music, and these together had helped to take her completely out of herself.
"Do you mean I will support the child?" Georgina broke into a laugh. "I do believe you would, if I were to ask you! But I won't go so far as that; I have something of my own. All I want you to do is to be with me." "At Genoa, yes, you have got it all fixed! You say Mr. Benyon is so fond of the place. That's all very well; but how will he like his infant being deposited there?"
"Good!" Lady Benyon ejaculated; then turned to Mildred. "And are you another naughty little patriot?" she asked. "No, I'm not naughty," Mildred answered piously. "Beth's naughty," said Bernadine. "I'm sure I don't know what Beth is not," the old lady declared, turning to Beth again. "Riley said I was one of the little girls the devil put out when he gave up housekeeping," Beth remarked casually.
She was practising, as she said, for the long carriage-journey to the north, where, in a quiet corner they knew of, on the Lago Maggiore, her summer was to be spent. Eaymond Benyon remarked to her that she had evidently turned the corner and was going to get well, and this gave her a chance to say various things that were on her mind.
