Well, the Ariadne is only just paid off, and I can't well go to Steynham yet. I Beauchamp was astonished at the hesitation he found in himself to name it: 'I have business in Bevisham. 'Naval business? she remarked. 'No, said he.
Beauchamp shook Lydiard's hand, saying, 'The widow? 'There's no woman like her! 'Well, now you're free why not? I think I put one man out of the field. 'Too early!

No little cutter was visible. She could not write to Nevil to bid him come and concert with her in what spirit to encounter his uncle Everard at Steynham. And guests would be at Mount Laurels next day; Lord Lockrace, Lord Croyston, and the Lespels; she could not drive down to Bevisham on the chance of seeing him.
Of course, the colonel continued buoyantly, 'Nevil will recover; he's a tough wiry young fellow, but poor Romfrey's fears are natural enough about the countess. Her mind seems to be haunted by the doctor there Shrapnel, I mean; and she's exciteable to a degree that threatens the worst in case of any accident in Bevisham.

You may take that for an instance of the national spirit of Liberal newspapers! 'Ah! sighed the colonel, as at a case clearly demonstrated against them. A drive down to Bevisham to witness the ceremony of the nomination in the town-hall sobered Mr.
Lady Menai inquired of Captain Baskelett whether he knew the nature of his uncle's business in Bevisham, the town he despised. What could Cecil say but no? His uncle had not imparted it to him. She was flattered in being the sole confidante, and said no more.
Culbrett asked him; and several gentlemen fell upon him for an account of the day. Palmet grimaced over a mouthful of his pie. 'Bad! quoth Mr. Lespel; 'I knew it. I know Bevisham. The only chance there is for five thousand pounds in a sack with a hole in it. 'Bad for Beauchamp? Dear me, no'; Palmet corrected the error. 'He is carrying all before him.
