When the house had been taken in Munster Court there had been a certain understanding, hardly quite a fixed assurance, that it was to be occupied up to the end of June, and that then Lord George and his wife should go into Brothershire. There had been a feeling ever since the marriage that while Mary preferred London, Lord George was wedded to the country.
That was the question which all the Brothershire people asked of each other, and which no one could answer. Mr. Price suggested that it was just devilry, to make everybody unhappy. Mrs. Toff thought that it was the woman's doing, because she wanted to steal silver mugs, miniatures, and such like treasures. Mr.
But then he was quite as strongly opposed to that other idea of sending her back to her father, as a man might send a wife who had disgraced herself. Anything would be better than that. If she would only acknowledge that she had been indiscreet, they would go down together into Brothershire, and all might be comfortable.
It seemed to him that for her sake he was bound to remain a few minutes longer. "When do you go down to Brothershire?" he asked. "About the 7th of July," said Mary. "Or probably earlier," said Lord George; at which his wife looked up at him, but without making any remark. "I shall be down at my cousin's place some day in August," De Baron said. Lord George frowned more heavily than ever. "Mr.
It was hinted here and there that there was "a screw loose" about this young Popenjoy, who had just been brought from Italy, and that Lord George would have to look to it. Of course they who were connected with Brothershire were more prone to talk of it than others, and Mr.

"Why shouldn't I read the Herald here, as well as at Manor Cross?" "Oh! yes, if you like it." "Of course I want to know what is being done in the county."
It need not be accounted as quite unnatural that she should have done so without her husband. But now, now it was imperative that Brothershire should know that the mother of the future Lord Popenjoy was on good terms with the family. "Of course her position is very much altered," Lady Susanna had said in private to Lady Amelia.
The matter had been fully discussed at Manor Cross; and the Manor Cross conclave, meaning of course Lady Sarah, had thought that Mary should be brought to the house, if only for a day or two, if only that people in Brothershire might know that there had been no quarrel between her and her husband. That she should have visited her father might be considered as natural.
Houghton's who had been in Brothershire, and were therefore in some degree connected even with the Dean. Guss began at once about the new Marchioness and the baby; and the Dean, though he did not of course speak to Guss Mildmay as he had done to his own daughter, still sneered at the mother and her child. In the meantime Aunt Ju was enlisting poor Mary.
"Captain De Baron," she said, "is an old friend of yours, I suppose." She, however, had known very well that Jack had never seen Lady George till within the last month. "No, indeed; I never saw him till the other day." "I thought you seemed to be intimate. And then the Houghtons and the De Barons and the Germains are all Brothershire people." "I knew Mrs.
