By the time they were down to the inner edge of the exosphere, the ball had started to unwind, ship after ship dropping out of it and going into orbit, some badly damaged and some going to attack damaged enemies. Some of them were completely around the planet, hidden by it. He saw three ships approaching Corisande, Sun Goddess, and the Gilgamesher. He got Harkaman on the screen.
Monsignore Chidioch, however, who would once unnecessarily rush to the aid of his chief, was tumbled over by the bishop with relentless gayety, to the infinite delight of Lady Corisande, who only wished it had been that dreadful Monsignore Catesby. But, though less demonstrative, apparently not the least devout, of his lordship's votaries, were the Lady Flora and the Lady Grizell.
But the great event of the season was the presentation of Lady Corisande. Truly our bright maiden of Brenthani woke and found herself famous. There are families whom everybody praises, and families who are treated in a different way.
There is a vacancy for our county Mr. Sandstone is dead, and they insist upon returning Bertram. I hope he will be of age before the nomination. The duke is much opposed to it; he wishes him to wait; but in these days it is not so easy for young men to get into Parliament. It is not as it used to be; we cannot choose." "This is an important event," said Lothair to Lady Corisande.
It might-be sometimes apparently a very slight cause, but yet for the time sufficient; a phrase of Lady Corisande for example, who, though she never directly addressed him on the subject, was nevertheless deeply interested in his spiritual condition.
There was the slip of paper which Theodora, at the time, had placed upon the pearls, and on which she had written some unseen words. "Let me place them on you now," said Lothair. "I will wear them as your chains," said Corisande. The sun began to tell them that some hours had elapsed since they quitted Brentham House.
They were always kind and natural; but they are so polished so exactly what they ought to be; and he always says the right thing. I never knew any one who had so matured." "Yes; it is very little more than a year since he came to us at Brentham," said Lady Corisande, thoughtfully. "Certainly he has greatly changed. I remember he could hardly open his lips; and now I think him very agreeable."
Bertram must kneel by his friend at such a time. I think Lord Carisbrooke may: Duke of Brecon, I can say nothing about at present." "Lord St. Aldegonde?" said the bishop. Lady Corisande shook her head. There had been a conclave in the bishop's room before dinner, in which the interview of the morning was discussed. "It was successful; scarcely satisfactory," said the bishop.
Lady Corisande had been before him. All the energies of that young lady were put forth in order that Lothair should be countenanced on this solemn occasion. She conveyed to the bishop before dinner the results of her exertions. "You may count on Alberta St. Aldegonde and Victoria Montairy, and, I think, Lord Montairy also, if she presses him, which she has promised to do.
The married sisters were highly excited in favor of their brother, but Lady Corisande said nothing. At last Bertram missed a bird, or rather his bird, which he had hit, escaped, and fell beyond the enclosure. Lothair was more successful, and it seemed that it might be a tie between him and the duke.
