"That I know not, father. Sir Ralph will go up with us to London next week. He says that it will be well we should present ourselves at Court, but after that we shall do nothing until affairs change in Flanders, or till a force goes from here to their aid." Edgar rode over to the De Courcys' place the next morning, and received a warm welcome. Four days later they rode to town with Sir Ralph.
"I'm sure he didn't get it from the de Courcys:" and then, again, they talked it over in all its bearings. "But what are they to live upon?" said Lady Arabella, appealing, as it were, to some impersonation of reason. "That's what I want him to tell me. What are they to live upon?" "I wonder whether de Courcy could get him into some embassy?" said the father. "He does talk of a profession."
It was from her especially that this message had been sent to our friend Crosbie; for, during the last spring in London, she and Crosbie had known each other well. Yes, my gentle readers; it is true, as your heart suggests to you. Under such circumstances Mr Crosbie should not have gone to Courcy Castle. Such was the family circle of the de Courcys.
For a long time nothing was heard of him at Hollywell, and she began to fear that he might have been less fit to take care of himself than he had persuaded her to believe. When at length tidings reached them, it was through the De Courcys. 'Poor Morville, wrote Maurice, 'had been carried ashore at Corfu, in the stupor of a second attack of fever.
But all this good advice, however, would not win the money for Mr Moffat without some more decided step; and that step he soon decided on taking, feeling assured that what he had said would have its due weight with the heiress. The party at Courcy Castle was now soon about to be broken up. The male de Courcys were going down to a Scotch mountain.
I have lived a good deal out of the world, and am, therefore, perhaps; more astonished than I ought to be." "Mr Dale, I feel for you " "Feel for me! What is to become of my girl? And do you suppose that I will let this other marriage go on; that I will not tell the de Courcys, and all the world at large, what sort of a man this is, that I will not get at him to punish him?
She again remembered how Mary had once sworn to be at her wedding, to be near her, and to touch her even though all the blood of the de Courcys should be crowded before the altar railings. "I should be so happy that she should be there; but what am I to do, Frank, if she refuses? I have asked her, and she has refused." "Go to her again; you need not have any scruples with her.
Yes! though all the de Courcys in Barsetshire should tread upon me and obliterate me.
I don't want any secrets, and you may tell my mother if you like it and all the de Courcys too, for anything I care." Frank had ever been used to command his sisters: and they, especially Beatrice, had ever been used to obey. On this occasion, she was well inclined to do so, if she only knew how.
Thus by degrees all the guests went, and the family of the de Courcys was left to the bliss of their own domestic circle. This, we may presume, was not without its charms, seeing that there were so many feelings in common between the mother and her children. There were drawbacks to it, no doubt, arising perhaps chiefly from the earl's bodily infirmities.
