Lady Chelford, perhaps, knew more of the capricious and daring character of the ladies of the Brandon line than I, and may have discovered some signs of a coming storm in the oracular questions which had fallen so harmoniously from those beautiful lips. As for me, I was puzzled. But the young lady showed no sign of excitement, and lay back in her chair in her usual deep, cold calm.
He was a good deal surprised, then, when Miss Lake said, and with quite a cheerful countenance, and very quickly, but so that her words stung his ear like the prick of a bodkin. 'Your way of speaking of my cousin, Sir, is in the highest degree discreditable to you and offensive to me, and should you venture to repeat it, I will certainly mention it to Lady Chelford.
I rather think he had no particular wish to take Lord Chelford into council. 'I think before troubling his lordship upon the subject if, indeed, on reflection, you should not think it would be a little odd to trouble him at all in reference to it I had better look a little more carefully into the papers, and see whether anything in that direction is really practicable at all. 'Do you think, Mr.
In a little while in comes Lord Chelford, always natural and pleasant, and quite unconscious of his peerage he was above it, I think and chatted away merrily with that handsome animated blonde who on earth, could she be? and did not seem the least chilled in the stiff and frosted presence of his mother, but was genial and playful even with that Spirit of the Frozen Ocean, who received his affectionate trifling with a sort of smiling, though wintry pride and complacency, reflecting back from her icy aspects something of the rosy tints of that kindly sunshine.
How, on earth, Sir, could I have the slightest suspicion that you had seen my client, Mr. Wylder, considering the tenor of your letters and conversation? And I venture to say, Captain Lake, that Lord Chelford will be just as much surprised as I, when he hears it. Jos. Larkin, Esq., delivered this peroration from a moral elevation, all the loftier that he had a peer of the realm on his side.
They shook hands again it was the third time and then she walked up the little gravel walk, hardly a dozen steps, and disappeared within the door of Redman's Farm, without turning another parting look on Lord Chelford, who remained at the little paling expecting one, I think to lift his hat and say one more parting word.
Buttle did not know Lord Chelford, and thus shooting his 'arrow o'er the house, he 'hurt his brother. Chelford turned away, and bowed and smiled to one or two friends at the other side of the room. 'Yes, the music was very pretty, and some of the songs were quite charmingly sung. I agree with you we are very much obliged to Lady Chelford that is her son, Lord Chelford.
I write to Chelford to say the same. This note was as unceremonious, and still shorter. Lord Chelford would have written at once to remonstrate with Mark on the unseemliness of putting off his marriage so capriciously, or, at all events, so mysteriously Miss Brandon not being considered, nor her friends consulted.
'Dorcas, dear, you must not speak to Lady Chelford, or to Mark Wylder, to-night. It is too serious a step to be taken in haste. 'There has been no haste, Rachel, and there can be no change. 'And what reason can you give? 'None; no reason, said Dorcas, slowly. 'Wylder would have been suitable in point of wealth.
It would not have been safe to trample upon them; and they were not less beautiful for being something more than pictures and statues. This evening, in the drawing-room, there were two very pretty ormolu caskets upon the little marble table. 'A new present from Mark Wylder, thought Lady Chelford, as these objects met her keen glance.
