One and another had been tried, when, at the end of the third, a lady spoke to Ethelberta. 'Now, Mrs. Petherwin, she said, gracefully throwing back her face, 'your opinion is by far the most valuable. In which of the cases do you consider the marriage of verse and tune to have been most successful?
'We are all contriving how to live most comfortably, and it is by far the best thing for you to stay at the school. You used to be happy enough there. Picotee sighed, and said no more. It was the second week in February, Parliament had just met, and Ethelberta appeared for the first time before an audience in London.
How languid his interest might ultimately have become there is no knowing; but there soon arose upon his ear the accents of Ethelberta in low distinctness from somewhere outside the room. 'Yes; the scene is pleasant to-day, she said. 'I like a view over a river. 'I should think the steamboats are objectionable when they stop here, said another person.
Picotee was called from the observation of these phenomena by a remark from her sister: 'Picotee, the marriage is to be very early indeed. It is to be the day after to-morrow if it can. Nevertheless I don't believe in the fact I cannot. 'Did you arrange it so? Nobody can make you marry so soon. 'I agreed to the day, murmured Ethelberta languidly. 'How can it be?
In the high- road they came on a local man, resting from wheeling a wheelbarrow, and Ethelberta asked him, with the air of a countrywoman, who owned the estate across the road. 'The man owning that is one of the name of Neigh, said the native, wiping his face.
'You judge me very wrongly, said Ethelberta, in answer to Christopher's hasty look of resentment. 'In supposing Mr. Ladywell to be a great friend of yours? said Christopher, who had in some indescribable way suddenly assumed a right to Ethelberta as his old property. 'Yes: for I hardly know him, and certainly do not value him.
Just beyond lay a turnpike-house, where was dimly visible a woman in the act of putting up a shutter to the front window. Compelled by this time to come to special questions, Ethelberta instructed Picotee to ask of this person if the place they had just passed was the entrance to Farnfield Park. The woman replied that it was.
It must be he, or else why is he not come? It is a pity, too, that Mr. Julian was hindered by this, so that there was no opportunity for him to bide a bit in Knollsea. Ethelberta was not disposed to believe that Christopher would have called, had time favoured him to the utmost.
'Well, I did say it: I own that I said it, he replied at last. Probably he knew enough of her nature not to feel long disconcerted by her disclosure, however she might have become possessed of the information. The explanation was certainly a great excuse to her curiosity; but if Ethelberta had tried she could not have given him a better ground for making light of her objections to his suit.
