Clarke wins and is completely exonerated, I think she would like very much to make your acquaintance." Rosamund looked surprised. "What makes you think so?" "Well, she said something to that effect the other day." "She's a very interesting, clever woman," interposed Daventry, with sudden warmth. "I'm sure she is. We must see. It's very kind of her. Poor woman!
He had been determined in refusal, and had advised her to get Sir John Addington, with Daventry as junior. This she had done. Now Bruce Evelin was carefully "putting up" Daventry to every move in the great game which was soon to be played out, a game in which a woman's honor and future were at stake. The custody of a much-loved child might also come into question.
"You mustn't think I'm going to turn into an idler, Rose. This is a very special occasion." "I know. Mr. Daventry's first case." "Haven't you followed it at all?" Daventry asked. She shook her head. "No, but I've been wished you well all the same." When the two men got up to go, Dion said: "Rosamund!" "What is it?" "If Mrs.
Expatiating upon this learned and remarkable theory, and citing many curious statistical and other facts in its support, Sam Weller beguiled the time until they reached Dunchurch, where a dry postboy and fresh horses were procured; the next stage was Daventry, and the next Towcester; and at the end of each stage it rained harder than it had done at the beginning.

"My dear boy, now how can I know?"
Dion had a feeling that Daventry had been vexed by Rosamund's defection. He knew his friend very well. It was not quite natural that Daventry had not mentioned Rosamund. But why should Daventry strongly wish Mrs. Clarke and Rosamund to meet if Mrs. Clarke had not indicated a desire to know Rosamund? Daventry was an enthusiastic adherent of Mrs. Clarke's.
Rosamund looked up from the little garment. "I didn't say that." "But if Beattie but Beattie's the soul of sincerity." "Yes, I know; but I think she might consent to marry Guy Daventry." "But why?" "I don't know exactly. She never told me. I just feel it." "Oh, if you feel it, I'm sure it is so. But how awfully odd. Isn't it?" "Yes, it really is rather odd in Beattie.

She was very intelligent, thoroughbred, beautiful in a peculiar way, even Rosamund thought that, ready to make herself pleasant, quite free from feminine malice, absolutely natural, interested in all the really interesting things. Beattie liked her; Daventry rejoiced in her; Mrs.
They passed through the compound, looked with a smile at the native servant sleeping on a mat at the door, and laughed to see him jump when awakened by Smith's vigorous rapping.
