"I did find him at last," continued Lord Fancourt, "and gave him your message. He said that he would give orders at once for the horses to be put to." "Ah!" she said, still very absently, "you found my husband, and gave him my message?" "Yes; he was in the dining-room fast asleep. I could not manage to wake him up at first."
I hope he will have got over his foolish fancy for that pretty girl at our cousins. He must be kept out of her way, and we must take care that he does not come to Texford. You and Julia must do your best to amuse him in London as soon as he arrives. I have written to Fancourt, and he will arrange about his coming home at the Admiralty."
This was said sufficiently loud; and after that, Meyerbeer could not ask Fancourt, so he departed with Gaston, who courteously dismissed him, to his astonishment and regret, for he had determined to visit the menagerie with his quarry. Gaston went to his apartments, and cheerily summoned Jacques. "Now, little man, for a holiday!
Having known me from my early days, and being convinced of the truth of the account I gave him, he accompanied me here that he might satisfy my uncle's mind, and assist in arranging matters." As Headland, or rather Captain Castleton, ceased speaking, the door opened, and Admiral Fancourt entered the room.
The cases were, however, very different. Headland, though of unknown birth, had gained a position for himself, and Captain Fancourt had written in the highest terms of him, and would, he thought, support his suite if he proposed. Still he was too well acquainted with his father's proud unyielding temper not to fear that in either case there would be difficulties to contend with.
Before his poor wife " General Fancourt paused a moment, smiling a little less. "I dare say you know." "About Mrs. St. George's death? Certainly I heard at the time." "Oh no, I mean I mean he's to be married." "Ah I've not heard that!" But just as Paul was about to add "To whom?" the General crossed his intention. "When did you come back? I know you've been away by my daughter. She was very sorry.
The group of men had finished their cigars and taken up their bedroom candlesticks; but before they all passed out Lord Watermouth invited the pair of guests who had been so absorbed together to "have" something. It happened that they both declined; upon which General Fancourt said: "Is that the hygiene? You don't water the flowers?" "Oh I should drown them!" St.
They reached Plymouth in safety, and when the Triton was paid off, Captain Fancourt being soon afterwards appointed to a ship in commission in which there were no vacancies, Harry and his friend were separated.
But at the end of a moment the thing had turned into smoke, and out of the smoke the last puff of a big cigar proceeded the voice of General Fancourt, who had left the others and come and planted himself before the gentlemen on the sofa. "I suppose that when you fellows get talking you sit up half the night." "Half the night? jamais de la vie! I follow a hygiene" and St. George rose to his feet.
The promised marriage was a matter for the man's mirth a week later. They came across three young artists from Paris Bagshot, Fancourt, and another who camped one night beside them. It was then she fully realised the deep shame of her position. The next night she ran away and joined a travelling menagerie. The rest he knew.
