"Such a view, Sir Roger!" cried Dora, in almost breathless enthusiasm. "You certainly," assented Deane, "do see some wonderful sights on this Promenade. I'm glad I came up. The air's given you quite a color, Miss Dora." "It's tea-time," declared Dora suddenly. "Take me down with you, Sir Roger. Mr. Ellerton, go and tell the others we're going home to tea."
Lord Ellerton resigned his fair companion to her rightful owner, and returned to Rose, who was looking over a book of beauty; and Doctor Danton went over to Eeny, who was singing to herself at the piano, and listened, with an odd little smile, to her song: "Smile again, my dearest love, Weep not that I leave you; I have chosen now to rove Bear it, though it grieve you.
Ellerton, will you be serious for a minute? I want to say something important. When we meet the Ashforths there mustn't be a word said about about you know." "Why not?" "Oh, I couldn't! So soon! Surely you see that. Why, it would be hardly civil to them, would it, apart from anything else?" "Well, it might look rather casual." "And I positively couldn't face John Ashforth. You promise, don't you?"
It was too dark to distinguish the miserable victim...On going out to walk with Martyn to the pagoda, the noise so unnatural, and so little calculated to excite joy, raised in my mind an awful sense of the presence and influence of evil spirits." Corrie married the daughter of Mrs. Ellerton, who knew Serampore and Carey well. It was Mr.
This was true and I enjoyed it greatly. I sent the man out to rub Sultan down while she prepared for him under my eyes a warm drench of ale and meal. "Be y'r honour going far?" she asked. "That depends how far it is to Ellerton Grange. Do you know it?" "Oh aye, y'r honour. Sir James Blount lives there. It's three miles out'n Tutcheter on the Burton road." "Is it a straight road to Uttoxeter?"
Sir Ronald Keith had departed some time previously, for a tour through the country with Lord Ellerton, and his memory was a thing of the past already. The Captain, an hour after their departure, sought out Grace in the dining-room, where she sat at work. He looked grave and anxious, and, sitting down beside her, said what he had to say with many misgivings. "I am double her age," he thought.
Dora started and straightened herself in her seat; it looked as if the rash remark were to be met with a burst of indignation, but, a second later, she leant back again and smiled scornfully. "How can you be so silly, Mr. Ellerton?" she asked.
I have allayed the anxiety of my sisters, whispered mysterious encouragement to Maisie Ellerton, held out hopes of her son's emancipation to Lady Kynnersley, played fairy godmother to various poor and deserving persons, and brought myself into an enviable condition of glowing philanthropy. To my great relief the Wymington committee have adopted Dale as their candidate at the by-election.
"Thank God!" I breathed freely again. What matter what happened to all the world beside? "Ay, thank God, indeed; but poor Lord Ellerton was thrown from his horse last night and brought home dead. A messenger came here by six this morning, and they're all gone off to . Her ladyship's raving mad. And no wonder." And she burst out crying afresh, and shut the door in my face.
"I should make for the door," said Laing. "Yes, but in this case the bomb was at the door!" "Then," said Laing, "I should exit by the window." "But this poor man." remarked Mary Travers, "stayed to rescue the woman he loved," and her eyes rested for an instant in confident affection on Charlie Ellerton. "We should all do as much, I trust," said John, glancing at Dora Bellairs.
