This was probably rather late in the day, and the exact order doesn't signify. What had already occurred was some accident determining a more patient wait. George Gravener, whom I met again, in fact told me as much, but without signs of perturbation. Lady Coxon had to be constantly attended to, and there were other good reasons as well.
The hate the crew had for their captain and chief mate was quite strong enough to guarantee me against any foul play on the part of Coxon; otherwise I might have prepared myself to see the ship fill and stand away, and leave us alone on the sea with the wreck.
I happened to remember the wonderful accounts she had given me of the kindness Lady Coxon had shown her. Gravener declared this to be false; Lady Coxon, who didn't care for her, hadn't seen her three times. But even Miss Anvoy was now quite tired of her.
"Tomes," said Eleanor on one occasion, looking up from the first volume of that author and perhaps she chose her passage with malice "clearly intimates his opinion that the Empire can't hold together unless the social bonds between England and the colonies are strengthened." "Does he, dear?" said Alicia, playing with the pug. "Do look at his tongue, Mr. Coxon. Isn't it charming?" "Yes.
A few days after this I heard that Gravener's marriage was near at hand was settled for Whitsuntide; but as no invitation had reached me I had my doubts, and there presently came to me in fact the report of a postponement. Something was the matter; what was the matter was supposed to be that Lady Coxon was now critically ill.
Coxon, with touching fidelity. "I feel bound to state," said Mr. We cannot agree to give way on either point." "And you, Norburn?" asked Medland, turning to his devoted follower, and smiling a kindly smile. Norburn was about to speak, when Puttock broke in,
Really, he knew no more than that waiter and so forth; very likely his ignorance was real, but he diffused an atmosphere of suppressed knowledge which whetted the curiosity of his audience to the sharpest edge. A messenger entered and delivered a note to Puttock and another to Coxon. The two compared their notes for a moment, and went out together.
Eleanor and Coxon would suit one another to perfection. Hence the invitations to tea, and Lady Eynesford's considerate withdrawals into the house, or out of sight in the garden. Of course it was impossible to gauge Eleanor's views at this early stage, but Lady Eynesford was assured of Mr.
For the present, moreover, this experience was stayed, Lady Coxon having in fact gone abroad accompanied by her niece. The niece, besides being immensely clever, was an heiress, Mrs. Saltram said; the only daughter and the light of the eyes of some great American merchant, a man, over there, of endless indulgences and dollars.
I must say I heartily agree, and of course it could easily be managed, if Medland liked. Perry would do it in a minute. I really don't see why the best berth in the colony is to be handed over to some hungry failure from London. But no doubt you'll agree with Medland." "Oh, I don't know," said Coxon. "It seems to me rather a point where the Bar here ought to assert itself."
