Lady Everingham thoroughly understood the art of conversation, which, indeed, consists of the exercise of two fine qualities. You must originate, and you must sympathise; you must possess at the same time the habit of communicating and the habit of listening. The union is rather rare, but irresistible.
'But if it were bad, Lord Fitz-booby, to move where we are, as you and your friends have always maintained, how can you reconcile it to principle to remain there? said Lord Vere. 'I would make the best of a bad bargain, said Lord Fitz-booby. 'With a Conservative government, a reformed Constitution would be less dangerous. 'Why? said Lady Everingham.
The Duke, as usual, had affairs that would occupy him. The rest were to ride. It was a happy suggestion, all anticipated pleasure; and the evening terminated with the prospect of what Lady Everingham called an adventure.
"It was bad, very bad in me against such a creature; but I did not know her then; and she shall have no reason to lament the hour that first put it into my head. I will make her very happy, Mary; happier than she has ever yet been herself, or ever seen anybody else. I will not take her from Northamptonshire. I shall let Everingham, and rent a place in this neighbourhood; perhaps Stanwix Lodge.
'I had heard much of the forest, said Coningsby. 'Which I am sure did not disappoint you, said the Duke. 'But forests without adventures! said Lady Everingham, a little shrugging her pretty shoulders. 'But I had an adventure, said Coningsby. 'Oh! tell it us by all means! said the Lady, with great animation. 'Adventures are my weakness. I have had more adventures than any one.
Mother, what a pity Beaumanoir was not besieged! 'It may be, said Coningsby. 'I always fancy a siege must be so interesting, said Lady Everingham. 'It must be so exciting. 'I hope the next siege may be at Beaumanoir, instead of St. Genevieve, said Lyle, laughing; 'as Henry Sydney has such a military predisposition. Duchess, you said the other day that you liked Malvoisie, and here is some.
I must make him know that I will not be tricked on the south side of Everingham, any more than on the north: that I will be master of my own property. I was not explicit enough with him before. The mischief such a man does on an estate, both as to the credit of his employer and the welfare of the poor, is inconceivable.
He felt less confidence in his increased power of conversation. Why, Theresa Sydney was scarcely a year older than Miss Millbank, and though she did not certainly originate like Lady Everingham, he got on with her perfectly well. Mr. Millbank did not seem to be conscious of his daughter's silence: at any rate, he attempted to compensate for it.
Coningsby can remember me! said a clear voice; and he looked round, and was greeted by a pair of sparkling eyes and the gayest smile in the world. It was Lady Everingham, the Duke's married daughter. 'And you walked here! said Lady Everingham to Coningsby, when the stir of arranging themselves at dinner had subsided. 'Only think, papa, Mr. Coningsby walked here! I also am a great walker.
Lyle, looking a little embarrassed, and for the first time blushing. 'The people of the parishes with which I am connected come to St. Genevieve twice a-week at this hour. 'And what is your system? inquired Lord Everingham, who had stopped, interested by the scene. 'What check have you?
