He had not been so flattered since the Countess of Chell had permitted him to offer her China tea, meringues, and Berlin pancakes at the Sub Rosa tea-rooms in Hanbridge and that was a very long time ago. "You really do think it's a good thing?" Edward Henry ventured, for he had not yet been convinced of the entire goodness of theatrical enterprise near Piccadilly Circus. Mr.
She married the Earl of Chell. She was young and pretty. She had travelled in China and written a book about China. She sang at charity concerts and acted in private theatricals. She sketched from nature. She was one of the great hostesses of London. And she had not the slightest tendency to stoutness. All this did not satisfy her. She was ambitious! She wanted to be taken seriously.
The Countess of Chell, who was standing in the road, raised her lorgnon, which was attached to the end of a tortoiseshell pole about a foot long, and regarded Denry. This lorgnon was a new device of hers, and it was already having the happy effect of increasing the sale of long-handled lorgnons throughout the Five Towns. "Oh! it's you, is it?" said the Countess. "I see you've grown a beard."
It would have been amusing to see anyone even the Countess of Chell, who patronized the entire district attempt to patronize Dan. In his time he had been the greatest pigeon-fancier in the country. 'So you're paying a visit to Bursley, uncle? said Maud. 'Aye! Dan replied. 'I'm back i' owd Bosley. Sarah my housekeeper, thou know'st 'Not dead? 'No. Rat Edge'll see nowt o' me this side Easter.
The principal breeders of this colour in England to-day are Miss Hamilton of Rozelle, Miss Chell, Miss Lee-Roberts, Mrs. Pope, and Mrs. Goodall-Copestake. The first two whites to become full champions under Kennel Club rules were Rob of Rozelle and Konig of Rozelle, both belonging to Miss Hamilton of Rozelle.
It was the idea of herself being deputy to the lovely, meddlesome, and arrogant Countess of Chell that had appealed to Clara. The deputy of a Countess at length spoke. 'Will Harry be late at the works again to-night? she asked in her colder, small-talk manner, which committed her to nothing, as Josiah well knew. Her way of saying that word 'Harry' was inimitably significant. She gave it an air.
Marrier, now back at the table after a successful expedition, beamed over his ice: "It was your 'Constance' that led to your friendship with the Countess of Chell, wasn't it, Ra-ose? You know," he turned to Edward Henry, "Miss Euclid and the Countess are virry intimate." "Yes, I know," said Edward Henry. Rose Euclid continued to blush. Her agitated hand scratched the back of the chair behind her.
"How did you get all those details about the state rooms at Sneyd?" she asked. Upon which opening the conversation became lively. The same evening Denry called at the Signal office and gave an order for a half-page advertisement of the Five Towns Universal Thrift Club "Patroness, the Countess of Chell."
As an experience it was worth having. She could not speak, and we did not. I heard the commercial traveller reading: "The motion was therefore carried by twenty-five votes to nineteen, and the Countess of Chell promised that the whole question of the employment of barmaids should be raised at the next meeting of the B.W.T.S." There! what do you think of that?
And to be on the safe side the Countess of Chell had resigned her official patronage of the club and given her shares to the Pirehill Infirmary, which had accepted the high dividends on them without the least protest.
