Brooding over these questions, he observed two men hard by in the old cloister garden, one of lofty stature, nearer forty than fifty years of age, the other younger and shorter, with a pale face redeemed from ugliness by its intellectual brow. Egremont joined the strangers, and talked.
On the one hand was a black mass of wharfs, a few barges moored in front; on the other, at a little distance, the gloomy shape of Millbank prison. The jangle of the bells was softened. 'They certainly might be more musical, Egremont said, with a forced laugh. 'I should not care to live in one of the houses just under the church. She was speaking. 'I waited this morning.
His laugh choked whatever she might have said, which perhaps was well, and her mother's cheeks glowed as much as hers did. 'Did the Canoness Jane, I mean come up? Mr. Egremont went on. 'Mrs. Egremont? No; she sent word that she is coming after luncheon. 'Hm! Then I shall ride out and leave you to her majesty. Now look you, Alice, you are to be very careful with William's wife.
'Naughty little wretch! was all it said, but thence she gathered hope. The spring was advancing, and Mr. Egremont was in haste to be gone, but Alice obtained one more run to Mentone, and once more climbed up the dark and dirty stairs to the room, where the well-known voice answered her tap, 'Come in! Ah, there she is, the wicked little angel!
Egremont after he knows this, Thyrza? Thyrza was mute for a little. Then she said, under her breath: 'He needn't know the reason. He must think it's something else. 'That's impossible. What a cruel thing it'll be to him! You know how he's looked forward. And then he loves you; he loves you more than you think. It will be dreadful!
Dutton observed, it was not a matter in which a man was very likely to submit to a nephew's dictation. There was certainly no need for Mrs. Egremont to force her presence on him. But Mr. Dutton did think that for her own sake and her child's there ought to be full recognition of their rights, and that this should be proved by their maintenance.
"That speech of Egremont was the most really democratic speech that I ever read," said the grey-headed gentleman. "How was it listened to?" "Oh capitally," said Mr Egerton. "He has very seldom spoken before and always slightly though well. He was listened to with mute attention; never was a better house. I should say made a great impression, though no one knew exactly what he was after."
The appointment was made, Egremont leaving one of his cards to insure recollection of the address. Then he spoke a word or two to the children, and Bunce led him down to the door. They shook hands. 'I shall see you at the library soon, I hope, Egremont said. 'You must give me your best help in making it known.
"It will hardly pay for the chairing," said Egremont; "the restoration of the family influence was celebrated on so great a scale." "The family influence must be supported," said Lord Marney, "and my mother will give you a thousand pounds; as I said, that will not do much for you, but I like her spirit.
Lord Mowbray's two daughters he had no sons were great heiresses. Lady Joan was doctrinal; Lady Maud inquisitive. Egremont fell in love with neither, and the visit was a failure. Lord Marney declined to pay the election expenses. The brothers parted in anger; and Egremont took up his abode in a cottage in Mowedale, a few miles outside the town of Mowbray.
