Old Fowler looked very sour. "You might as well look for a fox under my wife's bed, my Lord." "I dare say we should find one there," said one of the wags of the hunt. Fowler shook his head, feeling that this was no time for joking. "It ought to be drawn," said Chiltern. "Of course you know best, my Lord. I wouldn't touch it, never no more. Let 'em all know what the Duke's Wood is."
Lady Laura could not induce her father to see his son, but so far prevailed that no sentence of banishment was pronounced against Lord Chiltern. There was nothing to prevent the son sitting at his father's table if he so pleased.
Herstan and all his family, who had returned in peace to their dwelling, have come to us homeless and destitute. The Danes, as in 1006, suddenly issued from their ships. They took their way upwards through Chiltern, and so to Oxford, burning the city. Then they returned all down the river, the infantry in boats, the cavalry on horseback, burning on every side.
Chiltern sat down facing her. He looked at Honora over the roses, and she looked at him. A sense of unreality that was, paradoxically, stronger than reality itself came over her, a sense of fitness, of harmony. And for the moment an imagination, ever straining at its leash, was allowed to soar. It was Chiltern who broke the silence. "What a wonderful bowl!" he said.
Let that be as it might. One thing was clear to him. He would not abandon Violet Effingham till he should be desired to do so in the plainest language by Violet Effingham herself. Looking at his watch he saw that it was one o'clock, and at that moment Lord Chiltern was announced. Phineas went forward immediately with his hand out to meet his visitor.
The old Chiltern did not belong to her: hers was the new man sprung undefiled from the sacred fire of their love; and in that fire she, too, had been born again. Peter even Peter had no power to share such a faith, though what he had said of Chiltern had wounded her wounded her because Peter, of all others, should misjudge and condemn him.
"That's right; 7.30 sharp, only I can tell you you won't meet any other members." Then the servant announced more visitors, and Lord Chiltern escaped out of the room before he was seen by the new comers. These were Mrs. Bonteen and Laurence Fitzgibbon, and then Mr. Bonteen, and after them Mr.
But on this occasion, by the time that he reached Brooks's, he had been enabled to convince his Under-Secretary, and though he had always thought well of his Under-Secretary, he thought better of him now than ever he had done. Phineas during the whole time had been meditating what he could do to Lord Chiltern when they two should meet. Could he take him by the throat and smite him?
It was pleasant to him to know that he and Lord Chiltern were again friends. It was a delight to him to feel that this half-savage but high-spirited young nobleman, who had been so anxious to fight with him and to shoot him, was nevertheless ready to own that he had behaved well.
You can live with Lord Chiltern, and see what he is made of, and know his thoughts, and learn what is good in him, and also what is bad. After all, how is any girl really to know anything of a man's life?" "If I can do anything, Miss Effingham, I will," said Phineas. "And then we shall all of us be so grateful to you," said Violet, with her sweetest smile.
