The Senator would be delighted to have an opportunity of saying what he thought about Goarly at Lord Rufford's table. After that, before this weary letter could be written, he was compelled to see his grandmother and explain to her that she had been omitted. "Of course, ma'am, they did not know that you were at Bragton, as you were not in the carriage at the 'meet." "That's nonsense, John.
Runciman, who immediately took a walk round his own paddock with the object of putting two and two together. Mr. Runciman was a discreet man, and did not allow this piece of information to spread itself generally. He told Dr. Nupper, and Mr. Hampton, and Lord Rufford, for the hounds went out on Friday, though the Squire of Bragton was lying dead; but he did not tell Mr.
Gotobed stated that business required his presence at Dillsborough and suggested that he should again become a guest at Bragton for a few days. Morton was so sick of his own company and so tired of thinking of his own affairs that he was almost glad to welcome the Senator. At any rate he had no means of escaping, and the Senator came.

Morton has been almost like his mother, and has lived upon the Bragton property, absolutely lived upon it, and now she is away from him because he chooses to do what he likes with his own.
