Lady Jane could not tell. Lady Jane was in the midst of her meditations, and a more confused, distracted poor woman it would be difficult to find in the length and breadth of the land, when suddenly she heard a step in the hall, a frank young voice not Irene's, but bright and young and full of courage and the next instant Rosamund Cunliffe entered the room. "May I speak to you, Lady Jane?"
'How very fortunate, she began, seating herself with elaborate caution with her back to the light. 'We hardly hoped to find you at home, Miss Garston. My cousin Giles informed us how much engaged you were. We have been so interested in what Mr. Cunliffe told us about it. It is such a romantic scheme, and, as I am a very romantic person, you may be sure of my sympathy.
Bright was then in the Cabinet, and no longer the most radical member even there, but he was still a rare figure in society. He came to dinner, along with Sir Francis Doyle and Sir Robert Cunliffe, and as usual did most of the talking. As usual also, he talked of the things most on his mind.
Then, when at length Burton and his companion whose name, it transpired, was Samuel Cunliffe sullenly acknowledged that they had eaten and drunk all that they desired, their hands were once more lashed securely behind them, their feet released, and they were bidden to follow Leslie, who went ahead while Nicholls, as rear-guard, walked close behind.
Bank rate whenever such a breach was permitted or contemplated, it will be seen that the Cunliffe Committee proposed some considerable modifications in our system and hardly justified Sir Edward's assertion that it "proposed that the Bank should continue to work under the Act of 1844 as heretofore."
Cunliffe, who was Miss Crewe, very agreeable and, though not regularly handsome, very pleasing in countenance and person. Tuesday, spent a happy hour at the Museum. We dined at Mrs. Marcet's, with only herself and children. Then to an "at home," at Mrs. Ricardo's, merely for ten minutes to see the famous Mr. Hume. Don't like him much; attacks all things and persons, never listens, has no judgment.
Towards mid-day I noticed that she grew a little abstracted, and when Uncle Max's bell rang, she looked at me, and a tinge of colour came to her face. 'Should you not like to go down and speak to Mr. Cunliffe? she said timidly.
"Well, I should like to speak to her, and I will certainly not harm her," said Rosamund. Maud left her for a little while, and in a few minutes Miss Carter was seen coming down the path with Maud hanging on her arm. "Now, Cartery dear," she said, "you talk to Rosamund Cunliffe, who is a friend of mine, and I will go and have a good, romping game of tennis.
That is one thing I particularly admire about Cunliffe! however worried he is, one never sees him out of humour; his ups and downs are never perceptible. I do believe he is less selfish than other people. 'There is no one like Uncle Max, I rejoined fervently. 'Is it not odd that we should suit each other so well? he asked presently, 'for we are complete contrasts.
'In my opinion she is very beautiful, I replied quickly, 'I told Uncle Max the other day that I thought her face almost perfect. 'And what did he say? she asked, rather eagerly. 'Did he agree with you? But I was obliged to confess that I had forgotten his answer. 'I know Mr. Cunliffe thinks Gladys cold, she went on.
