And yet Mrs Pansey considered that Anthony Trollope's celebrated Mrs Proudie was an overdrawn character. As to Miss Norsham, she was in the depths of despair, for, if Mrs Pansey was to be believed, there was no eligible husband for her in Beorminster.
I do not wish to explain myself too minutely to them. 'I am not quite so indiscreet as you think, my lord, replied Graham, with some dryness. 'Your wife shall leave Beorminster for Nauheim thinking that your desire for her departure is entirely on account of her health. 'Thank you again, doctor! and the bishop held out his hand.
To be sure, he was talking of public wars, and not of domestic or social battles; but he should have been more explicit. Women are born fighters with their tongues; and an illustration of this truth was given in Beorminster when Miss Whichello threw down the gage to Mrs Pansey.
For this reason, and not because he felt a call to the work, he entered holy orders. The result of his wisdom was soon apparent, for after a short career as a curate in London, he was appointed chaplain to the Bishop of Beorminster. So far, so good.
'Oh, yes, sir; the Bishop of Beorminster. 'Quite so; but I am here less as the bishop than as Gabriel's father. 'Yes, whispered Bell, and stole a frightened look at the speaker's face. 'There is no need to be alarmed, said Dr Pendle, encouragingly. 'I do not come here to scold you. 'I hope not, my lord! said Miss Mosk, recovering herself a trifle, 'as I have done nothing to be scolded for.
Great as had been the popular excitement over Jentham's death, it was almost mild compared with that which swept through Beorminster when his murderer was discovered and arrested. No one had ever thought of connecting Mosk with the crime; and even on his seizure by warrant many declined to believe in his guilt.
In spite of examination and cross-examination, Mother Jael could give no evidence as to Jentham's real name, or about his past, or why he was lingering at Beorminster. 'He cum'd an' he go'd, said Mother Jael, with the air of an oracle, and that was the extent of her information, delivered in a croaking, shuffling, unconvincing manner.
At that moment the noble verse of the Psalmist was in his mind and upon his lips 'God is our refuge and our strength: a very present help in trouble. Bishop Pendle was proving the truth of that text. So the exiled lover was permitted to return to Beorminster, and very pleased he was to find himself once more in the vicinity of his beloved.
'No, answered the bishop, simply, not suspecting that the doctor hinted at the murder; 'I met him at the Cross-Roads. 'You had the money with you, I suppose? 'I had the money in notes of tens. As I was unwilling to draw so large a sum from the Beorminster Bank, lest my doing so should provoke comment, I made a special journey to London and obtained the money there.
I do not like that man, sir. 'You belong to the majority, then, Baltic. Few people like Cargrim, or trust him. But what is he to you? 'My employer. Yes, sir, you may well look astonished. Mr Cargrim asked me down to Beorminster for a certain purpose. 'Connected with his self-aggrandisement, no doubt.
