Mention has been omitted or forgotten by the worthy Dame, in her vagrant fowl's treatment of a story she cannot incubate, will not relinquish, and may ultimately addle, that the bridegroom, after walking with a disengaged arm from the little village church at Croridge to his coach and four at the cross of the roads to Lekkatts and the lowland, abruptly, and as one pursuing a deferential line of conduct he had prescribed to himself, asked his bride, what seat she would prefer.
Or at Croridge or Esslemont; and alone together, as now, I beg. That was what he said. Having said it, his escape from high tragics in the comfortable worldly tone rejoiced him; to some extent also the courteous audience she gave him. And her hand was not refused.
She was expected to pardon the husband, who had not abstained from his revenge on her for keeping him to the pledge of his word. And what a revenge! he had flung the world at her. She is consequently to be the young bride she was on the memorable morning of the drive off these heights of Croridge down to thirty-acre meadow!
She has flown for refuge to her uncle, Lord Levellier's house at a place named Croridge not in the gazetteer hard of access and a home of poachers, where shooting goes on hourly; but most picturesque and romantic, as she herself is!
If he is your friend, he is my friend. I have missed the sight of our boy. You heard I was at Esslemont? 'I heard from Madge! 'It is positive you must return to Croridge? 'I must be with my brother, yes. 'Your ladyship will permit me to conduct you. Her head assented. There was nothing to complain of, but he had not gained a step.
Put aside her artful pother to rouse excitement at stages of a narrative, London's general eye upon little Croridge was but another instance of the extraordinary and not so wonderful. Lady Arpington, equal to a Parliament in herself, spoke of the place and the countess courted by her repentant lord.
Fleetwood's hand was out for a good-bye, and the hand was grasped by one who looked happy in doing it. He understood and trusted the man after that, warmed in thinking how politic his impulses could be. His intention of riding up to Croridge at noon to request his interview with Mr. Kirby-Levellier was then stated. 'The key of the position, as you said, Mr.
A messenger to Queeney from Croridge then announced the Countess's return 'for a couple of hours. Queeney said it was the day when her ladyship examined the weekly bills of the household. That was in the early morning. The post brought my lord a letter from Countess Livia, a most infrequent writer. She had his word to pay her debts; what next was she for asking?
Cantering back to that home of the loves of Gower Woodseer and Madge Winch, the thought of his first act of penance done, without his feeling the poorer for it, reconciled Fleetwood to the aspect of the hollow place. He could not stay beneath the roof. His task of breakfasting done, he was off before the morning's delivery of letters, riding round the country under Croridge, soon up there again.
'My heart is my brother's until one of us drops. 'There is not another on earth beside your brother Chillon? 'There is my child. The dwarf square tower of Croridge village church fronted them against the sky, seen of both. 'You remember it, he said; and she answered: 'I was married there. 'You have not forgotten that injury, Carinthia? 'I am a mother. 'By all the saints! you hit hard.
