He remembered Hunter saying at the end of last term that it was ticklish work being captain of the House. Was it? To Gordon it seemed no more than the inevitable entrance into a kingdom which was his by right of conquest. The Eversham road swept in its broad curve up to the Abbey, black with moving figures. Gordon slowly walked up to the House.
"You dropped this?" he inquired. Miss Eversham looked surprisedly at Billy and uncertainly at the shawl, which she mechanically accepted. "Why I I didn't remember having it with me," she hesitated. "I noticed you were wearing one other evenings," said Billy, the Artful, "so I thought " "You know whether this is yours or not, don't you, Clara?" interposed the mother.
I was hailed with a most hearty welcome by a large party as I turned out of Grafton-street, among whom I perceived several friends of Miss Eversham, and some young dragoon officers, not of my acquaintance, but who appeared to know Fanny intimately, and were laughing heartily with her as I rode up.
He was married three times, had children in his old age, and only a few months before his death, Moscheles records in his diary, he was able to arouse the greatest enthusiasm by the vigor and brilliancy of his playing, in spite of his enfeebled physical powers. He died March 9, 1832, at Eversham, and his funeral gathered a great convocation of musical celebrities.
Eversham reported that she had a headache, and Falconer had very promptly dropped out of the party, leaving Billy with Lady Claire upon his hands, and so he went, and he and Lady Claire and the Evershams and about sixty other passengers had a brisk and busy day of it.
