I went from it a fool, with not one grace about me but the love of my good mother, and the punishment I had for my hot and foolish cantrip was many a wae night on foreign fields, vexed to the core for the sore heart I had left at home. My mind, for all my weariness, was full of many things, and shame above all, as I made for my father's house.
Yes, Duke; upon the whole it is better that I should know it all," said Lady Cantrip. "Of course he will not come here." "Oh dear; I hope not." "Nor to The Horns." "I hope he will never see her again anywhere," said the Duke. "Poor girl!" "Have I not been right? Is it not best to put an end to such a thing at once?" "Certainly at once, if it has to be put an end to, and can be put an end to."
It was therefore a matter of course that these should-be lovers would be sent out of the room together. "You'll give your arm to Mary," Lady Cantrip said, dropping the ceremonial prefix. Lady Mary of course went out as she was bidden. Though everybody else knew it, no idea of what was intended had yet come across her mind.
As for marrying him, I would sooner die this minute." After this Lady Cantrip did not insist on the interview.
But Lord Cantrip took the tone of voice as simply suggestive of humility, and suspected nothing of that profound indifference to all ministers and ministerial honours which Phineas had intended to express. "By-the-bye," said Lord Cantrip, putting his arm through that of the Under-Secretary, "I wanted to speak to you about the guarantees.
And then her arguments in her own defence were all so good, if only that which Lady Cantrip had laid down as law was to be held as law. He was aware now that she had had no knowledge of the matter till his daughter had told her of the engagement at Matching. Then it was evident also that she had sent this Tregear to him immediately on her return to London.
"He looks to me as though he never would do anything," said Lady Mary. Then the subject was dropped. It was a week after this, towards the end of July, that the Duke wrote a line to Lady Cantrip, apologising for what he had done, but explaining that he had asked Lord Popplecourt to dine at The Horns on a certain Sunday.
These rewards are fairly given for political support." "I had not, in truth, thought of Lord Cantrip." "He does not expect it any more than my butler." "I only named him as having a claim stronger than any that Lord Drummond can put forward. I have a man in my mind to whom I think such an honour is fairly due. What do you say to Lord Earlybird?"
Lord Popplecourt, though a very young man, had once stammered through half-a-dozen words in the House of Lords, and had been known to dine with the "Benevolent Funds." Lord Silverbridge had declared him to be a fool. No one thought him to be bright. But in the eyes of the Duke, and of Lady Cantrip, he had his good qualities. But the work was very disagreeable.
Silverbridge put his hand up and rubbed his head as though he were vexed. "Your aid would turn everything in his favour." "You do not know my father." "Is he so inexorable?" "It is not that, Mabel. But he is so unhappy. I cannot add to his unhappiness by taking part against him." In another part of the room Lady Cantrip was busy with Lord Popplecourt.
