Lady Earlscourt had views, well-defined, clearly outlined, on both religion and politics, and she greatly regretted that there still remained some people in the world who held other views on both subjects; it was very sad for them; and she felt that it was clearly her duty to endeavor by all the legitimate means in her power say, dinner parties for eight to reduce the number of these persons.
"Talking of woman's soul, how is Lady Earlscourt?" he added, to his daughter. "I was so sorry that I was at that stupid dinner," said Phyllis. "I might have enjoyed the music of 'Romeo and Juliet. But I had engaged myself to Lady Earlscourt a fortnight ago." "You did not see Lord Earlscourt, at any rate," said her father. "No; he left us in the evening for Southampton," said Phyllis.
Her maid found her still seated on the sofa, and ventured to remind her that time was fugitive, and that if mademoiselle still retained her intention of going to Lady Earlscourt's dinner party, Lady Earlscourt was giving a dinner party apparently for the purpose of celebrating her husband's departure for a cruise in Norwegian fjords in his yacht, it would be absolutely necessary for mademoiselle to permit herself to be dressed without delay.
Now, considering that Lord Earlscourt had told me the previous day that he was compelled to take to the sea solely on account of the way people were worrying him about me, I think that I did the right thing when I told her that I should be compelled to stay at home until the appearance of a certain paper of mine in the Zeit Geist Review."
"But it seems hard, doesn't it, to deprive a man of his profession simply because he holds certain views on what is, after all, an abstract subject the patriarchs, or the prophets and things of that sort?" said Ella. "Lady Earlscourt said that he should be forgiven, because he really didn't hold the views which he had preached," laughed Phyllis.
And so suddenly you seemed to make up your mind, too. You never hinted to me that afternoon that you were anxious to see Norway under the personal conductorship of Lord Earlscourt." "It would have been impossible for me to give you such a hint," said he. "I had no idea myself that I wanted greatly to go to Norway, until I met Earlscourt."
"Now you know that everyone holds you accountable for what he has done!" said Ella. "Then that's just where everyone makes a mistake," said he. "Great Lord! is it your idea of British justice to persecute the wrong man? Why doesn't the bishop do his duty? What do we pay him for?" "We won't abandon our charity at the call of theology," said Ella. "Theology represented by Lord Earlscourt," said Mr.
When Lord Earlscourt was at home the only two topics that were debarred from the dinner table were religion and politics; but when Lord Earlscourt was absent these were the only two topics admitted at the dinner table.
In 1772 he moved into his residence at Earlscourt, Brompton, where he gathered about him a great menagerie of animals, birds, reptiles, insects, and fishes, which he used in his physiological and surgical experiments. Here he performed a countless number of experiments more, probably, than "any man engaged in professional practice has ever conducted."
He was dressed something like those splendid cowboys they took me to see at Earlscourt when I was a little girl, and the face was Mr. Brett's. It was so handsome and dashing I could hardly stop staring at it while I washed off the dust of motoring. Evidently the photograph in its frame has been on the wall a long time.
