"Where's Jerrold?" she said. And they laughed again. "There's no doubt," said Uncle Robert, "about it being the same Anne." ii A day passed. John Severn had come. He was to stay with the Fieldings for the last weeks of his leave. He had followed Adeline from the hot terrace to the cool library. When she wanted the sun again he would follow her out. Robert and Colin were down at the Manor Farm.
"In our street," says the Diarist, writing in 1667, "at the Three Tuns Tavern I find a great hubbub; and what was it but two brothers had fallen out and one killed the other. And who s'd. they be but the two Fieldings; one whereof, Bazill, was page to my Lady Sandwich; and he hath killed the other, himself being very drunk, and so is sent to Newgate."
Half the sensitiveness belonging to her husband's eyes and mouth would have made her beautiful. "It is a pity the Barkers have such a bad night for their party," Cowart said. "The reception is at the Fieldings';" and again he felt himself rebuked. "I'm afraid I didn't think much about the matter after you told me the Dillinghams were coming by for you in their carriage.
You will find him, replied the head of the French police, at No. 93 of such a street in Vienna on the second-floor room looking upon such a church; and there he was. In England a criminal could hide himself in a herd of his like, occasionally disturbed by the inroad of a 'Bow Street runner, the emissary of the 'trading justices, formerly represented by the two Fieldings.
It was at the end of this visit that Harriet as usual imparted to Miss Anna the freshest information regarding affairs at home: that Isabel had gone to spend the summer with friends at the seashore, and was to linger with other friends in the mountains during autumn; that her mother had changed her own plans, and was to keep the house open, and had written for the Fieldings Victor's mother and brothers and sisters to come and help fill the house; that everything was to be very gay.
Bert even mixed a cocktail when he and she dined alone now, and she knew that when he had had two or three, he would want something more, would eagerly ask her if she would like to "stir up something" for the evening how about a run over to the Ocean House, with the Fieldings? And wherever they went, there was more drinking. "Let's make a rule," she proposed one day.
You have been feeding me with hopes till I can't live without them. I never longed for a thing yet but what I got it, and I'll have this though I trample a hundred George Fieldings dead on my way to it. Now let me think." He pondered deeply, his great brows knitted and lowered.
A shrug of the shoulders from Meadows had caused the landlord to distrain. A hint from Meadows had caused Merton to affront George about Susan. A tone of Meadows had closed the bank cash-box to the Fieldings' bill of exchange, and so on.
The long afternoon was before them, with its restless emptiness, as if the bride and groom had taken all the reason for life with them. There were bridesmaids and ushers staying at the Fieldings'. The graceful girl who poured out the Bishop's tea on the piazza, some hours later, and brought it to him with her own hands, stared a little at his face for a moment. "You look tired, Bishop.
He replaced them with reverent touch, turning away even in thought from what he had never meant to see. By and by he heard in the distance the roll of carriages returning from the Fieldings' reception. He replenished the fire generously, found a long cloak in the closet at the end of the hall, and waited the sound of wheels before his own door.
