"To be sure not!" says Delia. And she dried her eyes and said no more, only got ready and went off the next day with the little child, as smiling and gay as she could appear, waving her hand to Art that saw her off at the Broadstone station, and did all he could to put her in heart. But it's a long, long ways from the Big Smoke to Ardenoo. Hours and hours it took that wet, wild day to get there.
Very pleasant were those summer days reading, walking, music, gardening. Did not they all work like very labourers at the new arbour in the midst of the laurels, where Charles might sit and see the spires of Broadstone? Work they did, indeed!
But now Olive had written that she wanted to tell her a lot of things which could not go into a letter, and so the Broadstone carriage stopped again at the toll-gate. Two great things had Olive to tell, and she was really glad that her uncle was not at home so that she might get at once to the telling. In the first place, old Mr. Port was dead, and Captain Asher was in great trouble about this.
For some minutes the party was silent. If circumstances had permitted they would have gone separately. As long as he could see the mansion of Broadstone, Claude Locker spoke no word. When the time had come to go he had not wanted to go.
This self-restraint very much surprised old Jane, who straightway informed the captain that Miss Port was riding with the butcher to Broadstone she knew it was Broadstone, for he had no other customers that way and she guessed something must be the matter with her, for she kept her mouth shut, and didn't say nothing to nobody. As the wagon moved on Miss Port heaved a sigh.
A triumphant election the Liberals in office himself, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and leader of the Commons with the reversion of the Premiership whenever old Lord Broadstone should die or retire this indeed had been Ferrier's working understanding with his party for years; years of strenuous labor, and on the whole of magnificent generalship.
Philip went on to Broadstone, Guy said he could not go to bed by daylight, called Bustle, and went to the river to bathe, and the rest crept upstairs to their rooms. And so ended Lord Kilcoran's ball. Like Alexander, I will reign, And I will reign alone, My thoughts shall ever more disdain A rival near my throne.
Neither of the young men who were lying so heavily on her mind had written to any one, either at the toll-gate or at Broadstone, since the very public affair in which she had played a conspicuous part; and her consolation was that as each one had read that account he had said to himself: "I am thankful that girl did not accept me! What a fortunate escape!"
Olive was grumpy up-stairs and Claude Locker was in the doleful dumps under a tree, and if these two should grump and dump together, it might be very bad; consequently, Mrs. Easterfield was more anxious than ever that there should be at least two young men at Broadstone.
So she wrote a very strong letter to her husband, representing to him that the danger was very great and imminent, and that he was needed at Broadstone just as soon as he could get there. Business could be set aside; his wife's happiness was at stake; for if this unfortunate match should be made, it would be her doing, and it would cloud her whole life.
