Morning came; and when the ladies descended to breakfast, it was found that Lord Fitzjocelyn had gone out with the sportsmen. The children lamented, and their elders pronounced a young gentleman's passion for shooting to be quite incalculable. When, late in the day, the party returned, it was reported that he did not appear to care much for the sport; but had walked beside Mr.
Mary clasped her hands together as if in bewilderment. 'Xavier should not I will speak, whispered her companion to her, and beginning, 'Address yourself to me, sir! But Mary sprang forward, signing him back with her hand. 'It is my cousin, Lord Fitzjocelyn! she said, as if breath and effort would serve no more, and she laid her hand in that of Louis. 'Mr.
Lord Ormersfield smiled: he smiled better than he used to do, and took leave. 'Fitzjocelyn will be a popular man, he said. Mary could not help being diverted at this moral deduced from the pig-story. 'Every one is fond of him, was all she said. 'Talent and popularity, continued the Earl. 'He will have great influence.
Sydney was absent; but the rest of the family and their friends were less forbearing than the person chiefly concerned. They talked furiously, and made a strong exertion of forgiveness in order not to cut Fitzjocelyn. Sir Gilbert Brewster vowed that it would serve him right to be turned out of the troop, and that he must keep a sharp look out lest he should sow disaffection among the Yeomanry.
And Tom came at last. He did not come by moonlight he did not come at all romantically; but as she was washing vegetables, he stood by the scullery door, and made no elegant circumlocutions. Would she be his wife, some time or other? and he would try to be worthy of her. Fitzjocelyn had judged her rightly! Sound true love had force enough to dispel every illusion of sentimental flattery.
'Ah! well! one comfort is, that girls never care for boys of the same age, replied Aunt Catharine, as she turned the key, and admitted them into No. 7; when Fitzjocelyn confused Mary's judgment with his recommendations, till Aunt Catharine pointing out the broken shutter, and asking if he would not have been better employed in fetching the carpenter, than in hectoring the magistrates, he promised to make up for it, fetched a piece of wood and James's tools, and was quickly at work, his Aunt only warning him, that if he lost Jem's tools she would not say it was her fault.
Fitzjocelyn had appointed that Robson should call on him early in the morning, and, if he failed to detect him, intended to confront him with Madison before the Consul, when there could be little doubt that his guilt would be brought home to him. He found that the Consul and Mr.
'His hopes, at least, were destroyed! thought the butler; and he proceeded to regale Marianne with the romance of the Barricades, how he had himself offered to be Miss Conway's escort, but Lord Fitzjocelyn had declared that not a living soul but himself should be the young lady's champion; and, seeing the young nobleman so bent on it, Mr.
Louis asked one or two necessary questions on the custody of the office for the night and ensuing day, and Ford made repeated assurances that nothing would be found missing that had been left in his charge. 'I believe you, Mr. Delaford, said Fitzjocelyn, quietly. 'I do not think the lower species of fraud was ever in your style. Delaford tried to open his lips, but visibly shook.
'Why did not Fitzjocelyn, come too? was murmured by the young group in the recess opposite the door; and when at last he became visible, leaning against the wall, listening to the Squire, Virginia declared he was going to serve them just as he used at Beauchastel.
