Mountstuart, adding: "You may expect to see Mr. Dale here. He knows." Vernon and Clara exchanged one look, hard on his part, in contrast with her softness, and he proceeded to the house. De Craye waited for a word or a promising look. He was patient, being self-assured, and passed on. Clara linked her arm with her father's once more, and said, on a sudden brightness: "Sirius, papa!"
So likewise did Willoughby, in the blow that deprived him of hope, exult in the toppling over of Horace De Craye. They perished together, but which one sublimely relished the headlong descent? And Vernon taken by Clara would be Vernon simply tolerated. And Clara taken by Vernon would be Clara previously touched, smirched. Altogether he could enjoy his fall.
I know exactly how he feels. He thought he could carry me off, but he finds he overestimated his powers. He has remembered that he is a Craye. I imagine that the fact has been pointed out to him." "If you ask my opinion," I said I was feeling pretty sore about it "that woman Florence is an absolute cat." "My dear Mr.
We're very poor at home, and lots of us, and all hungry. My father says he isn't paid very well for his services to the Government. He's only a marine." "He's a hero!" said De Craye. "He came home very tired, with a cold, and had a doctor. But Sir Willoughby did send him money, and mother wished to send it back, and my father said she was not like a woman with our big family.
Temple admired her very much, that he liked her very much, that he did not think her untidy and countrified and ill-dressed, and all the things she had felt herself to be that night when Lady St. Craye and her furs had rustled up the staircase at Thirion's. And she had dined with Mr. Temple and lunched with Mr. Temple, and there had been an afternoon at St. Cloud, and a day at Versailles.
'Colonel Dreighton did not speak harshly, at our last meeting. 'He spoke of me? 'He spoke in the tone of a brother. 'Victor promises I won't repeat it. Yes, I see the house! There appears to be a prospect, a hope I cannot allude to it. Craye and Creckholt may have been some lesson to him. Selwyn spoke of me kindly?
Craye, pale as the laces of her sea-green cambric gown, came slowly up the cobble-paved way and halted at the window. "Good morning, Madame," she said. "I bring you the little present." The concierge was genuinely annoyed. Why had she not waited a little longer? Still, all was not yet lost. "Come in, Madame," she said. "Madame has the air very fatigued." "I have been very ill," said Lady St.
Well, the difference was, that De Craye had not the smarting sense of honour with women which our meditator had: an impartial judiciary, it will be seen: and he discriminated between himself and the other justly: but sensation surging to his brain at the same instant, he reproached Miss Middleton for not perceiving that difference as clearly, before she betrayed her position to De Craye, which Vernon assumed that she had done.
"The tone of the house seems changed changed for the worse," said Prout to Harrison and Craye. "Have you noticed it? I don't for an instant impute " He never imputed anything; but, on the other hand, he never did anything else, and, with the best intentions in the world, he had reduced the house-prefects to a state as nearly bordering on nervous irritation as healthy boys can know.
And I made him scenes always a most stupid thing to do with a man, you know; and at last I said he must give her up, or give me up. And he gave me up. And I was too proud to let him think I cared and just to show him how little I cared I married Sir Harry St. Craye. I might just as well have let it alone. He never even heard I had been married till last October! And then it was I who told him.
