The Reform Bill could never have passed if the baronets had been organized." "I have no doubt you could bring us in now," said Egremont. "That is exactly what I told Sir Robert. I want him to be brought in by his own order. It would be a grand thing." "There is nothing like esprit de corps," said Egremont. "And such a body!" exclaimed Sir Vavasour, with animation.
'Tell me, the other resumed, quickly, 'how many of the serious people whom you know in Lambeth ever go to a place of worship? Gilbert turned his eyes inquiringly, suspiciously. Was Egremont about to preach a pietistic revival? 'I have very few acquaintances, he answered, 'but I know that religion has no hold upon intelligent working men in London. 'That is the admission I wanted.
God keep you from that and deafness! Other complaints are the common, and almost the inevitable lot of human nature, but admit of some mitigation. God bless you! BLACKHEATH, August 22, 1763 MY DEAR FRIEND: You will, by this post, hear from others that Lord Egremont died two days ago of an apoplexy; which, from his figure, and the constant plethora he lived in, was reasonably to be expected.
And Gregorio seemed a good-natured young fellow then, and made things easy for me, though no doubt he meant to have me in his hands, in case I tried to shake him off. Another discovery affected him far more. It was of a letter in Alice's handwriting, addressed to Captain Egremont, in the yacht Ninon poste restante, Madeira.
The suspense and watching were over. She saw that he had not deserted her, and believed that he had loved her to the last. She cried a great deal, but it was in a peaceful, natural way. I wrote then, as I had already written, to Lady Adelaide and to Mr. Egremont, but was not answered. 'I can account for that, said Lady Kirkaldy.
Egremont became impatient, and declared that the valet had no business to keep the child out so long; indeed, he would sooner have taken alarm but for Nuttie's manifest agony of anxiety, starting and rushing to listen at every ring at the bell or sound of wheels near at hand.
However in the excitement attendant on a first contest, and influenced by the person whose judgment always swayed, and, in the present case, was peculiarly entitled to sway him, he stifled his scruples, and persuaded himself that he was a candidate not only with the sanction, but at the instance, of his brother. "You were speaking of the election, George," said Egremont.
The two men came in very shortly. Egremont entered the drawing-room alone, and began to turn over books on the table. Then Annabel rose. 'It promises for another fine day to-morrow, she said. 'I must get father away for a ramble. Do you think he looks well? 'Better than he did last autumn, I think. 'I must go and say good-night to him. Will you come to the study?
They had rather I was a teacher at the High School. 'They don't want to trust their Little Bear out in the world. 'I think it is more than that, said the girl. 'I can't help thinking that he my father must have been some one rather grand, with such a beautiful name as Alwyn Piercefield Egremont.
The trial of Gerard had taken place at the assizes of that year: he had been found guilty and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment in York Castle; the interference of Egremont both in the House of Commons and with the government saved him from the felon confinement with which he was at first threatened, and from which assuredly state prisoners should be exempt.
