No meal, with Frampton behind his chair, had ever equalled Fitzjocelyn's cookery or attendance; and Louis's reminiscences of the penalties he had suffered from his seniors for burnt toast, awoke like recollections of schoolboy days, hitherto in utter oblivion, and instead of the intended delicate conversation, father and son found themselves laughing over a 'tirocinium or review of schools.
I shall manage that when my affairs are in my own hands; but I may as well write to the mountains as to Ponsonby. Aye, aye! Clara might go to you. She'll have enough any way to be quite worth young Fitzjocelyn's while, you may tell him. That mine in the San Benito would retrieve all, and I'll not forget. Pray, how many children have you by this time?
'Fitzjocelyn's motives deserve no such name as folly, James cried, with stammering eagerness. 'I know you did not encourage him, said Lord Ormersfield. 'I did, said a young, clear voice, raised in alarm at her own boldness; 'Jem knew nothing of it, but I thought it right. Lord Ormersfield made a little courteous inclination with his head, which annihilated Clara upon the spot.
Ramsbotham himself, and secured his promise that, in case he failed in carrying his own man, he and the butcher would support Mr. Frost. The fact was, that Lord Fitzjocelyn's advocacy of the poacher, his free address, his sympathy for 'the masses, and his careless words, had inspired expectations of his liberal views; Mr.
Ponsonby was sorry to be obliged to contradict him in haste, and explain that she did not believe Fitzjocelyn's heart to be yet developed; whereupon he was again greatly vexed.

The gentlemen had their conversation in the dining-room, and Mary and Clara sat on the steps together in the warm twilight, and talked of granny; and Clara poured out all that Mary did not yet know of Louis. 'I hear you have been in hysterics again, had been Lord Fitzjocelyn's greeting to Charlotte. 'You are prepared for the consequences. Charlotte was prepared.
I like Northwold better than any place I have been in since I left Thornton Conway. There is so much more heartiness and friendliness here than in ordinary society. 'I think Fitzjocelyn's open sympathies have conduced Isabel laughed, and he checked himself, disconcerted. 'I beg your pardon, she said; 'I was amused at the force of habit.
She feared the walk had made Isabel more adverse to all connected with Ormersfield than even previously; for the Ormersfield road was avoided, and the question as to Fitzjocelyn's merits was never renewed. Mary thought his cause would be safest in the hands of his great champion, who was coming home from Oxford with him, and was to occupy his vacation in acting tutor to little Sir Walter Conway.
Jane's felicity was complete when, a few days after, she received, addressed in Lord Fitzjocelyn's handwriting, an Illustrated News, with a whole page containing 'the reception of Mrs.
She saw that he watched each word and gesture, and studied her looks to judge of the opinion they might create in her. Now the process was much like weighing and balancing the down of Fitzjocelyn's own favourite thistle; the profusion, the unsubstantiality, and the volatility being far too similar; and there was something positively sad in the solicitous heed taken of such utter heedlessness.
