If I could hope that you wouldn't think it tiresome I have a special reason for appealing to you. He would gladly, said Harvey, be of any use he could. 'I want to speak to you about painful things, pursued his hostess, with an animation and emphasis which made her more like the lady of Fitzjohn Avenue. 'You know everything except my own position, and that is what I wish to explain to you.
Of late the young lady had abandoned singing, rarely used the pianoforte, and seemed satisfied to achieve distinction as a violinist. She had founded an Amateur Quartet Society, whose performances were frequently to be heard at the house in Fitzjohn Avenue. Last winter Harvey had chanced to meet Alma and her stepmother at Leipzig, at a Gewandhaus concert.
But McClellan's farther right, commanded by that excellent officer, FitzJohn Porter, lay north of the Chickahominy, with its own right open for junction with McDowell.
"Who waits?" demanded the king, as his pen ceased in its task. "Sir Stephen Fitzjohn, my liege, sent by the Earl of Berwick with the warrant, for which he waits." "He need wait no longer then, for it is there.
At the same time that McClellan was superseded, General FitzJohn Porter, the gallant soldier of Gaines' Mill and Malvern Hill, probably the best officer in the Army of the Potomac, was ordered to resign command of the Fifth Army Corps, and to appear before a court-martial on charges of incompetency and neglect of duty at the Second Manassas.
There was no monastery, not even a plan of one. William FitzJohn and his clayey serfs scowled upon the shivering interlopers, uncertain what injustice might be done to them and to their fathers' homes, in sacrifices to the ghost of St. Thomas. Witham is a sort of glorified soup-plate, still bearing traces of its old Selwood Forest origin, for the woodlands ring round it.
'Oh, said Harvey Munden, 'he's afraid of being taken for one of us. He buys pictures. Not a bad sort, I believe, if it weren't for his snobbishness. 'His name? 'Ireton. Has a house in Fitzjohn Avenue, and a high-trotting wife. Six months later I recalled this description of Mrs. Ireton. She was the talk of the town, the heroine of the newest divorce case.
The first attempt was little more than a sketch. 5,497 acres were marked off for the new house, in a wet corner of Selwood forest. But the land was not transferred from William FitzJohn and the villeins were not evicted or otherwise disposed of. The place was worse than a desert, for it contained possessors not dispossessed.
Uncertain to the last moment, Harvey did at length hurry into his dress clothes, and start for Fitzjohn Avenue. He had little mind for the semi-fashionable crowd and the amateur music, but he could not answer Mrs. Bennet Frothingham with any valid excuse, and, after all, she meant kindly towards him.
