I didn't, I confess, say I didn't at that time quite know all I felt. Deep down, as Miss Erme would have said, I was uneasy, I was expectant. At the core of my personal confusion for my curiosity lived in its ashes was the sharpness of a sense that Corvick would at last probably come out somewhere.
Erme had a little compass hung to his watch, which he used to carry in his wanderings abroad; this decided the direction, and he set them to work, and encouraged them to persevere most manfully.
The great incident of the time however was that I told George Corvick all about the matter and that my information had an immense effect upon him. He had at last come back, but so, unfortunately, had Mrs. Erme, and there was as yet, I could see, no question of his nuptials.
Violet doubted not of his contentment when she had looked into his adult school, and seen how happily he was teaching a class of great boys to write; nor when she heard him discussing prices, rents, and wages with Mr. Hunt. Lord St. Erme and Lady Lucy had come to an early dinner at Lassonthwayte, thus causing great jealousy on the part of Mrs.
'You will soon be able to have her with you in the country. 'There are certainly some considerations that might make me resolve on an English winter, said Lord St. Erme. 'Every consideration, I should think. 'Fogs and frosts, and clouds, that hang like a weight on the whole frame, said Lord St. Erme, shivering.
Theodora turned to leave the room. 'What are you going to do? asked her father. 'I am going to write to Lord St. Erme. 'Come back, Theodora. I must know that you are not going to carry further this ill-usage of a most excellent man, more sincerely attached to you than you deserve. I insist on knowing what you intend to say to him. To insist was not the way to succeed with Theodora.
Then at this Bryanstone soiree, the next night, Fitzhugh was in the ascendant poor St. Erme could not so much as gain a look. 'So he is in London! said Violet. 'Do tell me what he is like. 'Like a German music-master, said Arthur. 'As queer a figure as ever I saw.
Lord Martindale came in with a look of expectation on his face which grieved Theodora, for she knew her refusal would be a disappointment to him. He sent the children away, paused for her to begin, and at last asked: 'Well, my dear, has Lord St. Erme been here? 'Yes papa; and it was plain enough how it had been. Lord Martindale sighed.
He came to Wrangerton with another guardsman for the sake of the fishing, and has been drawn into an engagement with one of the daughters of old Moss, who manages the St. Erme property. I know nothing against the young ladies, indeed Fanshawe speaks highly of them; but the father is a disreputable sort of attorney, who has taken advantage of Lord St.
Theodora did not come near the group, nor seem to perceive Violet's entreating glances; and when the Eastern prince departed, Percy had also disappeared. Violet was gratified by the ladies around her descanting on his book and his Syriac, and wished Theodora could hear them. At that moment she found Theodora close to her, presenting Lord St. Erme to Mrs. Arthur Martindale!
