Girl!" "You needn't go on saying girl in that voice," said Grizzel. "It isn't the girl who is tumbling about with loverishness; it's Mr. Smith." "What happened to the diamond-mine?" Mollie interrupted, feeling that another squabble was in the air. "Did you make a fortune, and is this house it?" "Oh no this house belongs to the Bertram Fitzherberts; they are fruit-farmers.
It would be, indeed, a blow to the Catholic gentry of the county, if any of the FitzHerberts should fall! She stood up presently, grave with her thoughts. Mistress Alice glanced up. "I am going out for a little," said Marjorie. "But " "May two of your men follow me at a little distance? But I shall be safe enough. I am going to a friend's house."
"Yes; he would be very hot; but for all that, there is his son Robin you know and his memories. And Robin has not written to him for six months. That would be about the time when he told him he was to be a magistrate." Then Marjorie told her of the whole that had passed, and of his mention of the FitzHerberts. "And what he meant by that," she said, "I do not know; but I will tell them."
It was an inspiriting sight to him then and one which well rewarded him for his labours, since there was not a class from gentlemen to labourers who was not represented there. The FitzHerberts, the Babingtons, the Fentons these, with their servants and guests, accounted for perhaps half of the folk.
