Her ladyship ran off, and met Mrs. Crabstock on the stairs, with whom we leave her to make her peace as she pleases. "My dear Temple, I believe you are out of your senses," said Alfred: "I never saw any man so importunate about a drawing that is not worth a straw trembling with eagerness, and kneeling! Caroline, what do you think Rosamond would have thought of all this?"
The worst and most twisted crabstock, if alive, possesses an active principle, which allows of successful grafting; not so with a dead branch.
Crabstock came up, and Lady Jane, with wit at will, kept the pattern-lady in play by an opportunely-recollected tale of scandal; with ears delighted, eyes riveted, stood Mrs.
I hope your man, Mrs. Percy, won't tell Mrs. Crabstock he saw this gentleman kneeling." "Mrs. Crabstock's getting out, my lady," said the footman, returning. "Mr. Temple, for mercy's sake, get up." "Never, till your ladyship gives the drawing." "There! there! let me go audacious!" "Good morning to you, Mrs. Percy Good bye, Caroline Be at Lady Jane's to-night, for I'm to be there."
Crabstock, who was now at liberty to ask questions; for even scandal will not hold curiosity in check for ever. "Are you to be at Lady Arrowsmith's, my lord, to-morrow night?" repeated she, for her first attack was unheard. "I do not know, indeed," said he, starting from his fit of absence. Mrs. Crabstock persisted. "Were you at the opera last night, my lord?" "I really, ma'am, do not recollect."
But don't think I'll give it to you I would not give it to my mother: but I'll lend it to you, if you'll tell me honestly why you want it." "Honestly I want to show it to a particular friend, who will be delighted with it." "Tell me who, this minute, or you shall not have it." "Mrs. Crabstock, my lady, bids me say, the duchess " "The duchess the deuce! if she's come to the duchess, I must go.
As they went down the staircase, Lady Jane laughing said, "I am afraid I shall be as impertinently curious as Mrs. Crabstock I was going to ask your lordship whether you are engaged to-morrow, or whether you can come to us to me?" "Unhappily," the accent on the word showed it was no expression of course. "Unhappily I cannot I am engaged I thank your ladyship."
With great and painful emotion, in the most calm voice she could command, but in the kindest tone, she added, "For the sentiments of regard and esteem your lordship has expressed for me, believe me, I am truly grateful." Mrs. Crabstock moved towards them, and Caroline paused. "Are you to be at Lady Arrowsmith's concert to-morrow, my lord?" said Mrs.
Temple was at this instant most impatient to get possession of the paper, for on the back of that cover of the letter, on which the caricature was drawn, the hand-writing of the direction appeared to him He dared scarcely believe his eyes his hopes. "Mrs. Crabstock, my lady," said the footman, "is waiting." "I know, sir," said Lady Frances: "so, Caroline, you won't see the likeness.
"Bless me!" cried Mrs. Crabstock. And "Bless me!" cried Lady Jane Granville. "We are to be at the Duchess of Greenwich's ball: Caroline, my dear time for us to move. My lord, might I trouble your lordship to ask if our carriage is to be had?" Lord William, before she had completed the request, obeyed.
