"Your chastisement is not given in half measures, Percy." "Speak on," said he; "there is more to come. You are engaged to marry him?" "I engaged that I would take the name of Blancove." "If he would cease to persecute Rhoda Fleming!" "The stipulation was exactly in those words." "You mean to carry it out?" "To be sincere? I do, Percy! "You mean to marry Algernon Blancove?"
Neighbours' gossip I find pretty well the worst thing a man has to bear, who's unfortunate enough to own children." The farmer bowed his head with that bitter humbleness which characterized his reception of the dealings of Providence toward him. "My neighbours 'll soon be none at all," he said. "Let 'em talk. I'm not abusing you, Mr. Blancove.
Nic Sedgett; she could understand, was the accomplice of one of the Fairly gentlemen; but of which one, she could not discover, and consequently set him down as Mr. Algernon Blancove.
Squire Blancove, who lived there, was an irascible, gouty man, out of humour with his time, and beginning, alas for him! to lose all true faith in his Port, though, to do him justice, he wrestled hard with this great heresy. His friends perceived the decay in his belief sooner than he did himself. He was sour in the evening as in the morning. There was no chirp in him when the bottle went round.
The question is about this poor young fellow who's to marry her to-day. Mr. Blancove talks of giving him a handsome sum a thousand pounds and making him comfortable " "There!" Rhoda exclaimed, with a lightning face. "You don't see what he is, after that? Oh! " She paused, revolted. "Will you let me run off to the young man, wherever he's to be found, and put the case to him that is, from Dahlia?
Flinging himself into a chair, he thought of waiting in that place; but a crowd of undefinable sensations immediately beset him. Seeing Edward Blancove in the street below, he threw up the window compassionately, and Edward, casting a glance to right and left, crossed the road. Robert went down to him. "I am waiting for my cousin." Edward had his watch in his hand. "I think I am fast.
"You are only at the head of another road, and a better one." "Oh, why do I ever give up trusting to my right hand " Robert muttered. But the evening brought a note to him from Algernon Blancove. It contained a dignified condemnation of Robert's previous insane behaviour, and closed by giving Dahlia's address in London. "How on earth was this brought about?" Robert now questioned.
"I am, "Sir, "Yours obediently, "Edward Blancove." Major Waning read the lines with a critical attention. "It seems fair and open," was his remark. "Here," Robert struck his breast, "here's what answers him. What shall I do? Shall I tell him to come?" "Write to say that your friend will meet him at a stated place." Robert saw his prey escaping. "I'm not to see him?" "No.
"Where are the brains I boast of?" he groaned, in the midst of these sensational extravagances. The lull of action was soon to be disturbed. A letter was brought to him. He opened it and read "Mr. Edward Blancove, When you rode by me under Fairly Park, I did not know you. I can give you a medical certificate that since then I have been in the doctor's hands. I know you now.
Squire Blancove, having business in town, called on his brother at the Bank, asking whether Sir William was at home, with sarcastic emphasis on the title, which smelt to him of commerce. Sir William invited him to dine and sleep at his house that night. "You will meet Mrs. Lovell, and a Major Waring, a friend of hers, who knew her and her husband in India," said the baronet.
