'But there are still Ronald and the Major! she persisted. 'They are not card-room fixtures! Ronald will be coming and going. And as for Mr. Chevenix, he 'Always sits with Miss Flora? I interrupted. 'And they talk of poor St. Ives? I had gathered as much, my dear; and Mr. Ducie has come to prevent it! But pray dismiss these fears! I mind no one but your aunt. 'Why my aunt?
The Honourable Captain Ducie and all the others, the editor of the Active Inquirer excepted, smiled slightly, though they respectively bowed and curtseyed; but Mr. Dodge, who conceived himself entitled to be formally introduced to every one he met, and to know all he saw, whether introduced or not, stepped forward promptly, and shook Mr. Ducie very cordially by the hand.
Your father was in an open boat for many days, and died of exhaustion." "Who told you so, mother?" "The captain lived to reach his home again, and he brought me his watch and ring and last message.

Are we, Theobald?" He rang the bell. "I'll give you some tea, and then you go straight to Ducie Street. I can't have my girl looking as old as her husband."
Donna Henrietta, jogged to death over dull vegas, and picking her way across rocky sierras, will be a very different person from Miss Temple, of Ducie Bower. I hope you will not be very irritable, my child; and pray vent your spleen upon your muleteer, and not upon your husband. 'Now, Ferdinand, how can you be so ridiculous? 'Oh! I have no doubt I shall have to bear all the blame.
If it makes my aunt happy to be called Lady Dunluce, I am sure she is welcome to the privilege; and when Ducie succeeds her, as will one day be the case, an excellent fellow will be a peer of England. Voila tout! You are the only countryman, sir, to whom I have ever spoken of the circumstance, and with you I trust it will remain a secret"
Father was troubled about the railway coming to Ambleside, and I do think a factory in Sandal-Side would make him heart-sick." "Then Steve shall never build one while Sandal lives. Do you think I would have the squire made heart-sick if I could make him heart-whole? Not for all the woollen yarn in England. Tell him Ducie said so. The squire and I are old, old friends.
