It was here that Disraeli wrote the greater part of Coningsby. A dene or glade opening near the house gives the place its name, the grounds being extensive and displaying gardens and fine woods. The scenery of this glade is beautiful, while from the terrace at the summit of the hill, where there is a Doric temple, a magnificent view can be had far away over the lowlands.
Dysart had always led in everything; taken what he chose without considering Grandcourt sometimes out of sheer perversity, he had taken what Grandcourt wanted not really wanting it himself as in the case of Rosalie Dene. "What are you talking about resenting? my monopolising your dinner partner?" asked Dysart, smiling. "Take her; amuse yourself. I don't want her."
Bloxford stared at him. "Here, don't startle me; I've got a weak heart," he observed, with a grin. "You say it as if you meant it. Here, what's your name?" "Sydney Green," replied Dene, with a promptitude acquired by his recent experience. "Right!" said the manager. "Have a drink?"
"He is so brilliant. He always gets right there. You have never met him, I suppose?" Juliet shook her head. "Not under that name, anyway. They say he is a barrister. But I haven't much sympathy with a man who hides behind a pseudonym, have you? It looks as if he hasn't the courage of his opinions." "I shouldn't think anyone ever accused Dene Strange of lack of courage," said Mrs. Fielding.
Richard Dene and William Stapolyn were first sent over to England to exhibit the evils of the Irish administration; the proposed general assembly of representatives seems to have dropped. The King ordered the two delegates just mentioned to be paid ten pounds out of the Exchequer for their expenses.
"I'd call on the hills to cover me if they would do so," sobbed Cora. "But as they will not, I'll call on the river, and I'll go and drown myself to-night, for I can't face Little Silver no more after this downfall." And Mrs. Dene, who had always thought a lot of James White and been proud of the match, weren't particular helpful, nor yet comforting.
They rose promptly and were moving away; Mrs Dene begged them to remain, and they sat down again, diffidently, but with dignity. "Herr Sepp," said Ruth, smiling a little mischievously, "how is this? Herr Federl shot a stag of eight this morning, and I hear that yesterday you missed a Reh-bock!" Sepp reddened, and laughed. "Only wait, gracious Fraulein, next week it is my turn on the Red Peak."
In answer to further questions he said that, apparently by the bridegroom's own wish, and with his full consent, on a certain date at Granada, he had married the marquis to the lady who stood before them, and whom he knew to be named Betty Dene; also, that at her request, since she was anxious that proper record should be kept of her marriage, he had written the certificates which the court had seen, which certificates the marquis and others had signed immediately after the ceremony in his private chapel at Granada.
Without receiving an order, a one-eyed waiter slammed a cup of thick coffee and two hunks of bread and butter before Dene; and Dene, eating and drinking the rough fare with an enjoyment which amused him, looked round him with the keenness of a man who is watching for an opportunity to seize upon the extended hand of Chance.
"I've been lending a hand generally." The man looked at him with an increased interest, as if struck by the tone of Dene's voice. "Oh!" he said, thoughtfully. "Engaged at the last moment? Well, you'd better go and see the guv'nor." "Gentleman in the fur coat?" asked Dene. "The same," said the man, with a grin. "You haven't met him yet? Engaged through an agent, I suppose?
