"I vow I'd rather be a jolly old bachelor like Mr. Bertram, with plenty of money, than husband to the Queen of Sheba, were she not defunct," exclaimed Mrs. Wingfield. "What a boon to men and society is a woman without marriageable daughters," laughed Vaura. "Yes," said Everly; "she can air her private opinions on the marriage question."
Haughton, that if time hangs heavy, he may return; amusing fellow, though the Colonel doesn't seem to take to him." "Not the same stamp of man," said Bertram. "But Haughton is right about the field, Everly," said Trevalyon; "one requires other experience than the Row." "Better not curb her, though," answered Everly sagely.
With one accord they stamped the degrading name of coward upon the colours of the Everly troop of Yeomanry, and I immediately handed over my sword and pistols, or rather indignantly threw them upon the ground, declaring that from that hour I no longer belonged to them, and adding that I would, the next morning, enroll my name in any corps which had extended its services to the military district, unless there was one that had volunteered for unlimited service, in which case I would enroll my name in that corps.
Everly was blind and deaf to the Colonel's wish, taking his cue from his neighbour's, who had said in an undertone: "Don't stir, we are afraid of him, and you are so agreeable and nice." And the guard locked the door, saying respectfully: "No help for it, sir, I'll find you a seat." "This just too lovely; you are not going to weep over the exit of the Colonel?" said Mrs. Tompkins rapturously.
Oblivious was she of even the small baronet, on whose arm she leaned, and who trembled with nervousness and mortification at the manner blanche had chosen to offer them up to Mrs. Grundy. The wedding cards the lady of Everly had presented, ere making her little speech, were dropped to the floor, while madame said haughtily.
"Shall it be London, Guildford, or chic little Epsom, fair Madame?" "Give me London." "Our gilded Babylon, versus ethereal skies, with lights and shadows that would send an artist wild," said Trevalyon, gaily readjusting the telescope. "Why, Trevalyon, such sentiments from you," exclaimed the Colonel, while the others gathered around. "'Tis a practical age, I like his view," said Everly.
Vernon, Everly, in our search for your fair person, peered into passages where the darkness might be felt, it was in this way.
"And something worth mounting for, and not to be sneezed at either," cried Lady Everly, as her husband rolled a small table from a recess. "If this is the picnic you promised us, Blanche, commend me to your choice of dishes," said Vaura, inwardly hoping nothing unpleasant would transpire relative to Mrs. Haughton.
"One thinks of an angel and lo! she appears," exclaimed Eau Clair, coming up, "and there's no doubt as to whose colours Everly wears, but by the lilies of France had he detained La Belle Vernon from her rightful sovereignty of the ball-room five minutes longer, I should have hunted the Everlie-in-wait-robber, and have taken from him our belle.
I had returned and taken my breakfast by ten o'clock, and had just got the old constable, Davis, and was about to proceed with him to apprehend the said persons, when four of the gentlemen of the yeomanry cavalry of the Everly troop, rode boldly into the yard, and up to the door, like brave troopers, saying that they had heard of my having a warrant for apprehending some of the rioters, and that they were sent by Capt.
