Of course I shan't call you Mary if you tell me not. How is it to be?" "Just for the present I'll be Miss Bonner." "For a week or so?" "Say for a couple of years, and then we'll see how it is." "You'll be some lucky's fellow's wife long before that. Do you like living at Fulham?" "Very much. How should I not like it? They are so kind to me.
It would be well for him now to marry a wife, and of all the women he had ever seen Mary Bonner was certainly the most beautiful. With Newton all his own, with such a string of horses as he would soon possess, and with such a wife at the head of his table, whom need he envy, and how many were there who would not envy him?
She warned Bonner, openly and bluntly, in few words; but the complexities of higher existence confused the situation to him, and he laughed at her evident anxiety. To him, Amos was a poor, miserable devil, tottering desperately into the grave. And Bonner, who had suffered much, found it easy to forgive greatly.
I am hardly considered a lady by them. An adventurer! The full meaning of the phrase struck Evan's senses when he was alone. Miss Bonner knew something of his condition, evidently. Perhaps it was generally known, and perhaps it was thought that he had come to win Rose for his worldly advantage! The idea was overwhelmingly new to him. Up started self-love in arms. He would renounce her.
The plums, however, were at present better than the peaches or the apricots. The fault of the house, as a modern residence, consisted in this, that the farm-yard, with all its appurtenances, was very close to the back door. Ralph told himself when he first saw it that Mary Bonner would never consent to live in a house so placed.
The others suffered consecutively on the 26th, 28th, and 29th March, the last of the six on the 10th June. With as little regard for truth did Foxe pen the remarkable distich, which well served his purpose of villifying Bonner in the minds of his confiding and credulous readers:
At length the appeal was read through; and at the close of it Francis entered, and talked to the pope for some time, but in so low a voice that Bonner could not hear what was passing. When he had gone, his Holiness said that he would deliberate upon the appeal with the consistory, and after hearing their judgments would return his answer.
There walked Bishop Bonner under a golden canopy supported on poles by four priests, all richly arrayed. A vast crucifix was carried before him, and other priests bore banners with various devices. There came also a priest, under another canopy, bearing the host, before which numbers fell down, and worshipped as if it were some idol. Those who did not so were frowned at by the priests.
Then the strong squire becomes a baronet and a lord, till he lords it a little too much, and a Manchester warehouseman buys him out. The strength of the country probably lies in the fact that the change is ever being made, but is never made suddenly. To Ralph the great objection to Beamingham Hall lay in that fear, or rather certainty, that it could not be made a fitting home for Mary Bonner.
'You know, I haven't been there for ages, he explained. 'I hear it! she sighed, aware of the credit his escort would bring her in Beckley, and especially with Harry's grandmama Bonner. They went together to the village church. The Countess took care to be late, so that all eyes beheld her stately march up the aisle, with her captive beside her.
