Culbrett without admiring his wit. 'No, and I see no good in this kind of Steynham talk, Colonel Halkett said, rising. 'We're none of us perfect. Heaven save us from political parsons! Beauchamp was heard to utter, 'Humanity. The colonel left the room with Cecilia, muttering the Steynham tail to that word: 'tomtity, for the solace of an aside repartee. She was on her way to dress for church.
I do so much wish to respect men, and all my experience tells me the Turks know best how to preserve it for us. Two men in this house would give their wives for pipes, if it came to the choice. We might all go for a cellar of old wine. After forty, men have married their habits, and wives are only an item in the list, and not the most important. With the assistance of Mr. Stukely Culbrett, Mrs.
'And as to Bevisham, said Mr. Culbrett, 'it's the identical borough for a Radical candidate, for every voter there demands a division of his property, and he should be the last to complain of an adoption of his principles. 'Clever, rejoined Beauchamp; 'but I am under government'; and he swept a bow to Mrs. Lespel. As they were breaking up the group, Captain Baskelett appeared. 'Ah!
Romfrey, with a whimsical shrewd cast of the eye at Beauchamp, who stood alert not to be foiled, arrow-like in look and readiness to repeat his home-shot. Mr. Romfrey wanted to hear more of that unintelligible 'You! of Beauchamp's. But Stukely Culbrett intended that the latter should be foiled, and he continued his diversion from the angry subject. 'We'll drop the sacerdotals, he said.
Late in the afternoon a report reached the ladies of a furious contest going on over Dollikins. Mr. Algy Borolick was the first to give them intelligence of it, and he declared that Beauchamp had wrested Dollikins from Grancey Lespel. This was contradicted subsequently by Mr. Stukely Culbrett. 'But there's heavy pulling between them, he said.
He has never been known to listen to a member under L20, and is respected enormously like the lady of the Mythology, who was an intolerable Tartar of virtue, because her price was nothing less than a god, and money down. Nevil will have to come down on Bevisham in the Jupiter style. Bevisham is downright the dearest of boroughs "vaulting-boards," as Stukely Culbrett calls them in the kingdom.
The poor old colonel fell to a more frequent repetition of the 'Well! with which he had been unconsciously expressing his perplexed mind in the kennels and through the covers during the day. None of the gentlemen went to dress. Mr. Culbrett was indoors conversing with Rosamund Culling. 'What's come to them? the colonel asked of Mr.
'You! cried Beauchamp. At this juncture Stukely Culbrett closed the manuscript in his hands, and holding it out to Beauchamp, said: 'Here's your letter, Nevil. It's tolerably hard to decipher. It's mild enough; it's middling good pulpit. I like it. 'What have you got there? Colonel Halkett asked him. 'A letter of his friend Dr. Shrapnel on the Country. Read a bit, colonel. 'I? That letter!
She spoke to Stukely Culbrett, her dead husband's friend, to whose recommendation she was indebted for her place in Everard Romfrey's household. 'Nevil behaved like a knight, I hear. 'Your beauty was disputed, said he, 'and Nevil knocked the blind man down for not being able to see. She thought, 'Not my beauty! Nevil struck his cousin on behalf of the only fair thing I have left to me!
Stukely Culbrett succeeded to these visitors. He heard of the case of Dr. Shrapnel from Colonel Halkett, and of Beauchamp's missing of his chance with the heiress from Mr. Romfrey. Rosamund Culling was in great perplexity about Beauchamp's prolonged absence; for he had engaged to come, he had written to her to say he would be sure to come; and she feared he was ill. She would have persuaded Mr.
