Coxon, tall-hatted, frock-coated, and new-gloved, in obedience to cordial invitations, take tea in the verandah of Government House. He was naturally gratified by these attentions, and, being not devoid of ambition, soon began to look upon his position as the starting-point for a greater prize. Lady Eynesford was, here again, with him up to a point. Lady Eynesford took the next step.
Coxon, but he doesn't quite know his place," and nothing that anybody could say made her see any absurdity in this remark. All the world was driving, riding, or walking in the great avenue of the Park. The Governor had just gone by on horseback, accompanied by his sister and his A.D.C.'s, and Lady Eynesford's carriage was drawn up by the pathway.
Lord Eynesford always doubted if they really knew a gentleman from one who was well, very nearly a gentleman. Alicia saw his puzzled look and forced a smile. "Don't tease me. Who is it?" "No less a man than a Minister." "A Willie, who is it?" she asked, and she stretched out a hand in entreaty. "My dear girl, whatever ? Well, then, it's Coxon." "Mr. Coxon!
"I think the man's mad," said the Chief Justice. "He won't budge an inch. So Coxon goes and he says a dozen will go with him." Then Mr. Kilshaw's feelings overcame him. "Hurrah!" he cried. "By heaven, we've got him now! We shall beat him on the Clause! Perry, you'll be back in a week!" "It looks like it," said Sir Robert, "but one never knows." "Puttock's solid, and now Coxon!
She doesn't show signs of relenting about your friend Coxon, does she? If so, she shall go by the next boat, if I have to exert the prerogative." "Mr. Coxon? Oh, dear, no! Poor man! There's no danger from him." "What's in the wind then?" "She's too intimate with these Medlands." "My dear Mary! Forgive me, but you're in danger of becoming a monomaniac. The Medlands are not lepers."
It must have been politics." "They wouldn't talk politics here and, if they did, Medland would not quarrel about them." "Did you hear what he said, Chief Justice?" asked Coxon. "Yes, I heard." "Curious, isn't it?" "It's most tantalisingly curious," said Sir John. "But, all the same, we mustn't forget the flowers," remarked Alicia, with affected gaiety.
"I must do what I think right." "My dear Coxon! Of course!" Mr. Kilshaw returned to his office well pleased.
"Depend upon it, he's the coming man of New Lindsey," he said. "He thinks the world will get better sooner than it will, you may say. Well, perhaps I share that illusion. Anyhow he has enthusiasm and grit, and I love his utter disinterestedness." Coxon acquiesced coldly in his rival's praises. "That," continued Medland, "is where we have the pull. Who is there to follow Perry?
"I hope you have not remembered all I said then as well as all you said? I was so surprised and and upset. Was I very rude?" The implied apology disarmed Coxon of his last resentment. "I was afraid," he said, "it meant an end to our acquain " "Our friendship," interposed the lady with swift graciousness. "Oh, then, I was much more disagreeable than I meant to be." "It didn't mean that?"
This vanguard "had a red flag, with a bunch of white and green ribbons." The second company, or main battle, was led by the admiral, Richard Sawkins, who "had a red flag striped with yellow." The fifth and sixth companies, under Captain John Coxon, "had each of them a red flag." A few of Alleston's and Macket's men carried arms under Coxon in these companies.
