"It won't hurt the carpet," said Tinman. "Won't it?" Fellingham gazed at the carpet, as if expecting a flame to arise. He then related the tale of the magnanimous Alexander drinking off the potion, in scorn of the slanderer, to show faith in his friend. "Alexander Who was that?" said Tinman, foiled in his historical recollections by the absence of the surname.
"A happy resolution," said Fellingham; "and a saving one." He heard further that Mr. Smith would take possession of the Crouch next month, and that Mrs. Cavely hung over Miss Smith like a kite. "And that old Tinman, old enough to be her father!" said Mrs. Crickledon. She dealt in the flashes which connect ideas.
Fellingham, though a man, and an Englishman, was nervously wakeful enough to see the connection. "They'll have to consult the young lady first, ma'am." "If it's her father's nod she'll bow to it; now mark me," Mrs. Crickledon said, with emphasis. "She's a young lady who thinks for herself, but she takes her start from her father where it's feeling. And he's gone stone-blind over that Tinman."
"Bring Annette to dine with us," he said, on Martha's proposing a visit to the dear young creature. Martha drank a glass of her brother's wine at lunch, and departed on the mission. Annette declined to be brought. Her excuse was her guest, Miss Fellingham. "Bring her too, by all means if you'll condescend, I am sure," Mrs. Cavely said to Mary.
"A happy resolution," said Fellingham; "and a saving one." He heard further that Mr. Smith would take possession of the Crouch next month, and that Mrs. Cavely hung over Miss Smith like a kite.

You might be advised to leave England for a few months. As for the society here " "If I leave, I leave for good. My heart's broken. I'm disappointed. I'm deceived in my friend. He and I in the old days! What's come to him? What on earth is it changes men who stop in England so? It can't be the climate. And did you mention my name to General Fellingham?" "Certainly not," said Herbert.
Fellingham rejoined. "Who could help it?" He thought himself warranted in giving the rein to his wicked satirical spirit, and talked lightly of the accidental character of the letter H in Tinman's pronunciation; of how, like somebody else's hat in a high wind, it descended on somebody else's head, and of how his words walked about asking one another who they were and what they were doing, danced together madly, snapping their fingers at signification; and so forth.
Crickledon, on the edge of the crowd, reported what was doing to Annette and Miss Fellingham. A boat had been launched from the town. "Praise the Lord, there's none but coastguard in it!" she exclaimed, and excused herself for having her heart on her husband. Annette was as deeply thankful that her father was not in the boat. They looked round and saw Herbert beside them.
Young Fellingham was treated rudely by Van Diemen Smith, and with some cold reserve by Annette: in consequence of which he thought her more than ever commonplace. He wrote her a letter of playful remonstrance, followed by one that appealed to her sentiments. But she replied to neither of them. So his visits to Crikswich came to an end. Shall a girl who has no appreciation of fun affect us?
We move into the Hall after Christmas. We are at the Crouch at present. Papa will be sure to make you welcome. Do you not know that he never forgets a friend or breaks a friendship?" "I do, and I love him for it," said Fellingham. If he was not greatly mistaken a gentle pressure on the fingers of his left hand rewarded him. This determined him.
