"It could do us no harm, and would have kept things quiet." "So did every fellow on our side," said Mr Egerton, "who was not in office or about to be. Well, Heaven knows what may come next. The Charter may some day be as popular in this club as the Reform Act." "The oddest thing in that debate," said Mr Berners, "was Egremont's move."
'You are surprised to see us, he said, as he gave his hand, 'but we could not leave the country without coming to thank Lady Kirkaldy for her kindness in assisting in following up the clue to Mrs. Egremont's residence. 'I am very happy, said Lady Kirkaldy, while all were being seated. 'I think it was here that my nephew Mark first met one whom, child as he was, he could not but remember.
From the communication which I received in 1822 from the late Dr Robertson, of Oxford, it appeared that Thomas Harriot had observed the solar spots on the 8th of December 1610; but his manuscripts, in Lord Egremont's possession, incontestably prove that his regular observations on the spots did not commence till December 1, 1611, although he had seen the spots at the date above mentioned, and that they were continued till the 18th of January 1613.
It would frighten Lyddy, if the letter came to her written in a strange hand. Mrs. Ormonde made up her mind not to let it be known that she was in communication with Thyrza. Much was still dubious, but clearly it would be the wise course to avoid the possibility of Egremont's discovering Thyrza's place of abode. For the sake of the long future, a little more must be borne in the present.
"Lady Mina Blake has an idea that far from looking to office, Egremont's heart is faintly with his party; and that if it were not for the Marchioness " "We might gain him, eh?" "Hem; I hardly know that: he has got crotchets about the people I am told." "What, the ballot and household suffrage?" "Gad, I believe it is quite a different sort of a thing.
Alice decided that her husband would probably wish her to comply, and she rejoiced to turn her daughter in among the cousins, so hats, gloves, and parasols were fetched, and the two mothers drove away with the two sleek little toy ponies. By which it may be perceived that Mrs. William Egremont's first impressions were favourable. 'It is the shortest way through the gardens, said Blanche.
He said he only wished to know if you were in town or not. He wouldn't leave a name. Egremont's face changed to annoyance. He did not care to pursue the subject. 'Let me have something to eat, please, he said. The landlady having withdrawn, he at once sat down to his desk and wrote a note. It was to Grail, and ran in substance: 'I am just back from the Continent.
'Do you know when I could be sure to find him here? 'Yes, replied Totty, who was able to guess at Egremont's identity, and examined him with some interest. 'He'll be here to-morrow after eight. He's on a job in Hammersmith, working late. But to-morrow's the last day, and he's sure to be back by eight o'clock. 'He leaves early in the morning, I suppose? 'At half-past five. 'Thank you.
There is a difference between hearing and hearkening, and Alice Egremont's loving and unsuspecting heart was so entirely closed against evil thoughts of her husband, and so fully occupied with her old friend's condition, that she never took in the signification of all this, while Nuttie, being essentially of a far more shrewd and less confiding nature, and already imbued with extreme distrust of her father, was taking in all these revelations with an open-eyed, silent horror of conviction that her old impressions of the likeness to Marmion or Theseus had been perfectly correct.
At the door she was told of Egremont's arrival, and with a look of pleased expectancy she went at once to the library. Egremont rose from the fireside, and advanced with the quiet confidence with which one greets only the dearest friends. 'So the sunshine has brought you, she said, holding his hand for a moment. 'We had a terrible storm in the night, and the morning is very sweet after it.
