'Poor man! it was a great pity he did not come last year! said Louis. 'I am glad I have no temptation to bend to his will, returned James. 'Ha! I like the true core of the quarrel to display itself. 'Fitzjocelyn, you do not mean that you do not fully approve of the course I have taken! 'Extremely magnanimous, but not quite unprecedented. Witness St.
It was no small thing to ask of the Earl, necessary as his son had become to him; and the project at first appeared to him senseless. He thought Mary had not shown herself sufficiently sensible of his son's merits to deserve so much trouble; and if she were engaged to Mr. Ward, Fitzjocelyn would find himself in an unpleasant and undignified position.
Louis looked with wistful doubt at James, who, he knew, could not brook going to fine places in the character of tutor; but, to his surprise and pleasure, James was willing and eager, and made no demur, except that Fitzjocelyn could not walk so far, and the boat was gone out. Mrs. Mansell then proposed the ensuing Monday, when, she said, she and Mr.
He welcomed Clara with his tone of courteous respect, and smiled at his son's exultation, saying, Fitzjocelyn deserved all the credit, for he himself had never thought to be so patched up again, and poor Oliver was evidently deriving as much encouragement as if rheumatism had been paralysis.

Many thanks, he would trouble him no further; and affecting a laugh, he said that Fitzjocelyn seemed never to have heard of a bad headache.
His father, as much awestruck by his hopes as distressed by his penitence, still gave himself credit for having soothed him, and went to meet and forewarn the Vicar that poor Fitzjocelyn was inclined to despond, and was attaching such importance to the merest, foibles in a most innocent life, that he required the most tender and careful encouragement.
It was a commission given to Mary, when with Fitzjocelyn, she went to London for one day, to put the final stroke to the dissolution of the unfortunate firm, and to rejoice Aunt Melicent with the sight of her happiness. Good old Miss Ponsonby's heart was some degrees softer and less narrow than formerly.
'I am perverse enough never to like what is the fashion, she said. 'I tried to disgust Fitzjocelyn with his pets on that very ground, said James; 'but their charms were too strong for him. 'Fashion is the very testimony to them, said Louis. 'I think I could convince you. He would perhaps have produced his lovely serpula blossoms, but he was forced to pass on to his aunt and Mrs.
Lady Conway rejoiced in being spared the fabrication by which she had intended to dismiss her paragon without hurting his feelings, thanked Fitzjocelyn more than ever, and was sure that dear Walter would do very well. But no sooner had Delaford departed than a series of discoveries began to be made.
