"I couldn't possibly recall them," said May, who had seated herself, and was becoming all but calm. "Lord Dymchurch has a very vague way of talking. He rambles from one subject to another." "But didn't he say anything at all about marriage?" cried Lady Ogram, in exasperation. "He spoke of his position and his prospects. Perhaps he hoped I should understand but it was all so vague."
"I have told you that I did, aunt. I saw Lord Dymchurch in the garden." "I remember," said her aunt, with a lowering, suspicious look. "And you saw Mr. Lashmar as he was coming to the house?" "No. I didn't see him at all." "How was that? If you were in the garden?" May glibly explained that her encounter with Lord Dymchurch took place not before, but behind, the house.
It was foolish, as he now saw plainly enough; in ambition, one must discern the probable, and steady one's course thereby. All at once, he felt a strong dislike of Lord Dymchurch, and even a certain contempt. The man was not what he had thought him.
I'm quite sure that a large number of people are worrying over that article, and asking how they can oxidise if not their own cerebellum, at all events that of their offspring." "Man and nature," said Lord Dymchurch presently, "have such different views about the good of the world." "That," exclaimed the baronet, "is a very striking remark. Let me give you an illustration of its truth.
Good-night!" For her, there was again no sleep. The weather had changed; through the open window breathed a cool, sweet air, very refreshing after the high temperature of the last few days; but Lady Ogram in vain closed her eyes and tried to lull her thoughts to rest. It disappointed her that Dymchurch, in reply to her confidences, had spoken no decisive word.
I am very glad indeed to have been able to see you at once. It puts an end to a natural uneasiness on both sides." "I am obliged to you," said Dymchurch. With a bow and a look past his interlocutor, he turned to enter the house. As soon as he had disappeared, Lashmar followed, and rang the door bell. Of the servant who came, he asked whether Miss Bride was down yet. The domestic went to inquire.
"Because I am so surprised and disappointed about Dymchurch. I thought better of him. I took him for a philosopher." "But Mrs. Toplady says the girl is charming, and very clever." "That's a matter of opinion. Doesn't Mrs. Toplady strike you as something of a busybody a glorified busybody, of course?" "Oh, I like her! And she speaks very nicely of you." "I'm much obliged.
Of course he is very busy at Hollingford." "I shall be glad to see him," replied the other, cordially. "I wish I could help him in any way." Lady Ogram resumed her seat. She was looking at the marble bust, and Dymchurch, following the direction of her eyes, also regarded it. "Until this morning," she said, "I hadn't seen that for more than fifty years.
"Suppose you give a quiet little dinner to a few of your friends, say at one of the restaurants. Don't you think Lord Dymchurch might be willing to come? If I may propose myself " The roguish smile was lost in a radiant archness. "Half a dozen of us just to talk over the political situation." Lashmar looked delighted.
"If I liked, I could be really, really in love!" This was delightful experience; this was living! Dangerous, yes; for how did she mean to comport herself in the all but certain event of her receiving an offer of marriage from Lord Dymchurch? Mrs. Toplady was right; Lady Ogram had resolved upon this marriage, and would it be safe to thwart that strong-willed old woman?
