'But we did write back to say where we could be heard of. 'That was of no use. Mark found no traces of us when he went thither. 'Did he send Mark? 'No. My dear Alice, I must not conceal from you that this is all Mr. Mark Egremont's doing.
'A proper provision must be insisted on for her, said Miss Headworth. 'It is no use, however, to speculate on the future. We cannot guess how Mr. Mark Egremont's communication will be received, or whether any wish will be expressed for your mother's rejoining your father. In such a case the terms must be distinctly understood, and I have full trust both in Mr.
Egremont's style of society, and dreading that Mark might be dragged into it, added her word, feeling on her side that it was desirable and just to hinder the family from sacrificing Mark's occupation and worldly interest to a capricious old roue, who might very possibly throw him over when it would be almost impossible to find anything else to do.
She shrank from reopening the subject, because it was so disagreeable to her to pronounce Egremont's name; because, too, she could not betray doubt without offending Thyrza. It was hard to distrust Thyrza, yet how account for the girl's most strange apparent happiness? Even now, though under troubled health, her sister's spirits were good. Far more easily Lydia could have suspected Mrs.
She was grieved exceedingly that she had not known of Mr. Egremont's coming, but everything should be made comfortable in less than no time. He would have a fire? To be sure; it was a little chilly, though really 'summer has come upon us all at a jump, whilst you've been away, sir. 'I got your telegram, sir, that I wasn't to send any letters on. Gentlemen have called and I 'Indeed?
That made her, too, feel that something grand and glorious had happened. 'What are we going to do? she asked, as the vehemence of Mrs. Egremont's emotion began to work itself off. 'Home! He takes us to his home! His home! repeated her mother, in a trance of joy, as the yearnings of her widowed heart now were fulfilled. 'Oh, but Aunt Ursel! 'Poor Aunt Ursel!
'It's easy enough to see what it means, Ackroyd continued after a moment, referring to Egremont's invitation. 'We shall be having an election before long, and he's going to stand for Vauxhall. This is one way of making himself known. 'If I thought that, said the other, musingly, 'I shouldn't go near the place. 'What else can it be?
It was devised and carried simply for the reason indicated by Egremont's friend Dalmaine; a more intelligent type of workmen is demanded that our manufacturers may keep pace with those of other countries.

This winter the Newthorpes spent abroad. Mr. Newthorpe was in very doubtful health when he went to Ullswater, just before Egremont's return to England, and by the end of the autumn his condition was such as to cause a renewal of Annabel's former fears. On a quick decision, they departed for Cannes, and remained there till early in the following April. 'There's a sort of absurdity, Mr.
