These last words were spoken in answer to Crosbie's greeting. Crosbie had held out his hand to the earl, and had carried his point so far that the earl had been forced to take one of his own out of his pocket, and give it to his proposed son-in-law. "If your lordship has no objection. I have, at any rate, her permission to ask for yours." "I believe you have not any fortune, have you?
Mrs Dale, as she walked back to her own house, acknowledged to herself that her brother-in-law's manner was different to her from anything that she had hitherto known of him. During the whole of that day Crosbie's name was not mentioned at the Small House.
"Well; we shall be sitting at two, you know, and of course you'll come to us. If you're at leisure before that I'll make over what papers I have to you. I've not been a Lord Eldon in my office, and they won't break your back." Immediately after that Fowler Pratt had been shown into Crosbie's room, and Crosbie had written the letter to the squire under Pratt's eye.
Crosbie of London's servants; and that he has brought you a letter with his master's compliments, and also a haunch of venison." "Mr. Crosbie's servant!" said Mr. Fairchild, taking the letter and reading it aloud as follows: "DEAR MR. FAIRCHILD, "I and my wife, and my sister Miss Crosbie, and my daughter Betsy, have been taking a journey for our health this summer.
Margaretta and Alexandrina particularly want you to come, as they say you are so clever at making a houseful of people go off well. If you can give us a week before you go back to manage the affairs of the nation, pray do. Yours very sincerely, The Countess de Courcy was a very old friend of Mr Crosbie's; that is to say, as old friends go in the world in which he had been living.
They were genuine tears which filled Crosbie's eyes, as he seized hold of the senior's hands. "Butterwell," he said, "what am I to say to you?" "Nothing at all, nothing at all." "Your kindness makes me feel that I ought not to have come to you." "Oh, nonsense. By-the-by, would you mind telling Thompson to bring those papers to me which I gave him yesterday?
Mrs Dale felt that she had begun wrong, and that she would have been able to make better progress had she omitted all mention of Crosbie's name. She knew exactly what it was that she wished to say, what were the arguments which she desired to expound before her daughter; but she did not know what language to use, or how she might best put her thoughts into words.
"I suppose not, as he asked about the inn." Then, Johnny reflected that the man might possibly be a friend of Crosbie's, and became melancholy in consequence. Crosbie might have thought it expedient to send an ambassador down to prepare the ground for him before he should venture again upon the scene himself.
It seemed to her as though she had neglected some duty in allowing Crosbie's conduct to have passed away without hardly a word of comment on it between herself and Lily. Should she not have forced upon her daughter's conviction the fact that Crosbie had been a villain, and as such should be discarded from her heart?
At this moment Bernard Dale and Emily came close upon him, and Bernard saw him at once. It was through Bernard that Lily and Crosbie had come to know each other. He and Bernard Dale had been fast friends in old times, and had, of course, been bitter enemies since the day of Crosbie's treachery.
