Ponsonby's select party. But I really wanted you. You are more au fait as to the society here than the Ponsonbys and Dynevors. Ah! when does that come off? 'What is to come off? 'Miss Ponsonby and Mr. Dynevor. What a good creature he is! 'I cannot see much likelihood of it, but you are more on the scene of action.
Also I had told McDermott that Dynevors, the Birmingham people, had heard my contract was up in March, and wanted to buy me. So they got frightened, and offered me a new contract that they thought would keep me." He had finished his meal, and he pushed away his plate and stretched himself, looking up at her and smiling sleepily. "Have you taken it?" "Rather. It couldn't have been better."
'Literally or metaphorically? asked Louis, softly. 'Pshaw! 'You Dynevors don't resemble my sea-pink. See how she stretches her elegant fringes for this very unpleasant bit of meat! There! I won't torment you any more; read, and stop my mouth! 'You are in earnest? 'You seem to think that if a man cannot be a clergyman, he is not to be a Christian.
Her father was the last male of the Dynevors of Cheveleigh a family mounting up to the days of the Pendragons and she had been made to take the place of an eldest son, inheriting the extensive landed property on condition that her name and arms should be assumed in case of her marriage.
'It is a great pity, said Mary, smiling, but grieved; 'I should not have been able to do her much good but if I could only try!

For one moment James moved nearer to his uncle. Could he have spoken then, what might not have followed? but it was impossible, and the impulse passed away.
'I think too highly of them to call it folly, said the heiress of the Dynevors. 'Why, in one way, to be sure, hesitated Lady Conway, 'we cannot call it folly to be sensible of each other's merits; and if if Mr. Dynevor have any expectations I think your son is unmarried?
I'll not go home and show my nephew, heir of the Dynevors, keeping a third-rate grammar-school, said Oliver, with his one remaining Eton quality of contempt for provincial schools. The Northwold scholar and master were both roused to arms in James.
