Lady Mabel had already refused one or two not ineligible offers, and it was necessary that something should be done. There had been at one time a fear in Miss Cassewary's bosom lest her charge should fall too deeply in love with Frank Tregear; but Miss Cassewary knew that whatever danger there might have been in that respect had passed away.
Cassewary could spare you for another fortnight," the Duke said to his neighbour, alluding to a visit which she now intended to make. "If so he would have to spare me altogether," said Mabel, "for I must meet my father in London in the middle of January." "Could you not put it off to another year?" "You would think I had taken root and was growing at Matching."
"I'm so glad to hear you say so! Of course after a little time you will speak. I should so like to hear you make your first speech." "If I thought you were there, I'm sure I should not make it at all." Just at this period Miss Cassewary, saying something as to the necessity of dressing, and cautioning her young friend that there was not much time to be lost, left the room.
Mother will be the proudest of all. Mother very seldom goes out. Till we get a house we are at The Langham. Thank you, Mr. Sprottle. I think we'll go and find father." Lord Silverbridge found himself close to Lady Mabel and Tregear, and also to Miss Cassewary, who had now joined Lady Mabel.
"Bother Miss Boncassen," he said; "you might as well come and take a turn with a fellow." "Come along, Miss Cassewary," said she. "We will go round the haycocks yet once again." So they turned and the two ladies accompanied Lord Silverbridge. But this was not what he wanted.
"Papa says that you promised to return, and thinks this time will perhaps suit you." And then to Lady Mabel: "Do come if you can; and papa particularly says that he hopes Miss Cassewary will come also." To Miss Boncassen she had written a long letter, but that too had been written very easily. "I write to you instead of your mamma, because I know you.
"I, you know, am one of your brother's stern Mentors. There are three or four of us determined to make him a pattern young legislator. Miss Cassewary is another. Only she is not quite so stern as I am." "He ought to be very much obliged." "But he is not, not a bit. Are you, Lord Silverbridge?" "Not so much as I ought to be, perhaps." "Of course there is an opposing force.
"Grex is very old, and very wild, and very uncomfortable. But I love it dearly. Matching is the very reverse of Grex." "Not I hope in your affections." "I did not mean that. I think one likes a contrast. But I must go, say on the first of January, to pick up Miss Cassewary." It was certain, therefore, that she was going on the first of January.
Then he walked down alone. Lord Silverbridge followed with his daughter, and Frank Tregear gave his arm to Miss Cassewary. "If that woman can't clear her soup better than that, she might as well go to the d ," said the Earl; upon which remark no one in the company made any observation. As there were two men-servants in the room when it was made the cook probably had the advantage of it.
Mary might naturally suspect that Lady Mabel had done this in the interest of her friend Tregear, and Silverbridge could not but suspect that it was so. Lady Mabel, who had never before met the other girl, could hardly refrain from thinking that there had been some underhand communication, and Miss Cassewary was clearly of opinion that there had been some understanding.
