"I read Bell's Life regular, old boy," Mr Foker answered: at which Pen laughed again, and the three gentlemen proceeded in great good-humour to Lady Clavering's house. The subject of the novel was resumed after luncheon by Miss Amory, who indeed loved poets and men of letters if she loved anything, and was sincerely an artist in feeling.
"Why," said I, after complying, "that the girl, worn out with constant apprehension, has made up her mind to do away with herself, and that Henry Clavering " "Henry Clavering?" The interrogation was put with so much meaning, I looked up. "Yes," said I. "Ah, I didn't know that Mr. Clavering's name was mentioned there; excuse me."
Before the end of the day's amusements, many more gentlemen of Lady Clavering's acquaintance came up to her carriage, and chatted with the party which it contained.
"What a beautiful creature!" Fanny said. "What a lovely dress! Did you remark, Mr. Sam, such little, little hands?" "It was Capting Strong," said Mrs. Bolton: "and who was the young woman, I wonder?" "A neighbor of mine in the country Miss Amory," Arthur said "Lady Clavering's daughter. You've seen Sir Francis often in Shepherd's Inn, Mrs. Bolton."
Would you write for me, and let me see how it looks?" This Lady Clavering did; and had she refused to do it, I think that poor Harry Clavering's check would have been used. As it was, Lady Clavering wrote the letter to "My dear Lord Ongar," and it was copied and signed by "Yours most affectionately, Julia Brabazon."
On a certain afternoon about a week before the Cherry Feast, Mabel and Alice Cunningham, with Florence Aylmer and Edith King, were once more assembled under one of the cherry trees in the cherry orchard. "I am sure of it," said Alice. "Of course, it is nothing that I have heard, but it is a sort of look in Mrs. Clavering's face, and she is so eager to give Kitty all sorts of help.
Bonner, a part of the family, and as necessary to her mistress as the chevalier was to Sir Francis, was of course on Lady Clavering's side in the dispute between her and her husband, and as by duty bound even more angry than her ladyship herself. "She won't pay if she takes my advice," Mrs. Bonner said.
He will come in about a fortnight from now, just a week before the Cherry Feast. Oh, I am miserable, I am miserable!" All of a sudden the poor child's composure gave way, she covered her face with her trembling hands, and burst into a great flood of weeping. A look of relief crossed Mrs. Clavering's face.
At this table it was Miss Clavering's obvious duty to preside; but that was a complaisance to which she rarely condescended.
