Gilbert did not seem inclined to hurry his sister as they came near Madame Belmarche's. He lingered, and presently said, 'Should you be too tired to come in here for a moment? it was an intolerable shame that none of them were asked. 'Mamma did beg for Genevieve, but there was so little room, and the Drurys did not like it. Mrs.
'Anything not to have all the Drurys at luncheon, said Gilbert, confidentially, 'I had begun to wish myself at Tremblam. 'By the bye, said Mr. Kendal, waking as he sat down at the bottom of the table, 'how was it that the Drurys did not stay to luncheon? 'Was that what they were waiting for? exclaimed Albinia. 'Poor people, I had no notion of that.
Taxes were high, food was scarce, and many of the men had joined the King's army; but none of the Drurys had thought of these things except Harry, and it was the little scraps of news he heard in the village that first led him to doubt whether the royal cause were the just one.
In February, the Drurys' Newfoundland watch-dog, Pluto, had arrived from New York, and he told Jim and me that he had a miserable journey. A gentleman friend of Mr. Drury's had brought him from New York. He saw him chained up in his car, and he went into his Pullman, first tipping the baggage-master handsomely to look after him.
Drury how he is acting, and that I will be very much obliged if she will let him stay all night with Laura." Jack sprang up, seized his cap, and raced down the front steps, across the street, through the gate, and up the gravelled walk, where the little stones were all hard and fast in the frost. The Drurys lived in a large, white house, with trees all around it, and a garden at the back.
Mr. Kendal turned round, looked at the time-piece, and marched off. 'But mamma! continued Sophy, driving straight at her point, 'what do you think of consistency? 'Oh, mamma! cried Lucy, coming into the room in a flutter of white; 'there you are in your beautiful blue! Have you really put it on for the Drurys? Sophy bit her lip, neither pleased at the interruption, nor at the taste.
She bethought herself of sending to the Drurys, and showed rather gratification than her ordinary impatience at the manifold reports of the general sympathy, and of Bayford's grief for its hero. The poison was gone from her mind. The Family Office had been asked to receive the whole party on their return. Mr.
Would the Drurys make her comfortable? Or could she not live alone with her maid? 'She might live here. 'Albinia! Think a little. 'I can think of nothing else. Let her have the morning room, and Sophy's little room, and Lucy and I would do our best for her. 'No, that is out of the question. I would not impose such charge upon you on any consideration!
In the universal good-will of her triumph, Albinia having read her precious letter to every one, resolved to let the Drurys hear it, before forwarding it to Fairmead. Lucy's neglect of that family was becoming flagrant, and Albinia was resolved to take her to make the call.
Kendal had set the whole family against their old friends, and Sophy had found all her own besetting sins charged upon her step-mother. 'My dear! said Albinia, 'don't you know that if a royal tiger were to eat up your cousin John in India, the Drurys would say Mrs. Kendal always let the tigers run about loose! Nor am I sure that your faults are not my fault.
