Adrian took a chair by Brandon Forey, a barrister of standing. "I want to ask you," he said, "whether an infant in law can legally bind himself." "If he's old enough to affix his signature to an instrument, I suppose he can," yawned Brandon. "Is he responsible for his acts?" "I've no doubt we could hang him." "Then what he could do for himself, you could do for him?"
Doria Forey, his widowed sister, said that Austin might have retired from his Parliamentary career for a time, and given up gaieties and that kind of thing; her opinion, founded on observation of him in public and private, was, that the light thing who had taken flight was but a feather on her brother's Feverel-heart, and his ordinary course of life would be resumed.
"Dear me!" said Adrian, "does the Law recognize that? Why, that's almost human!" Another message was brought to Adrian that Mrs. Doria Forey very particularly wished to speak with him. "What can be the matter?" he exclaimed, pleased to have his faith in woman strengthened. The cake had exploded, no doubt. So it proved, when the gentlemen joined the fair society.
Forey advised his punning grandson Clarence to give that house a wide berth, where he might be disposed of and dished-up at a moment's notice, and the scent ran off at a jest.
Matilda Forey and her cousin Mary Branksburne wedded their voices, and songfully incited all young people to Haste to the bower that love has built, and defy the wise ones of the world; but the wise ones of the world were in a majority there, and very few places of assembly will be found where they are not; so the glowing appeal of the British ballad-monger passed into the bosom of the emptiness he addressed.
George Meredith's heroines and heroes and oddities at their finger ends, and yet forget that musical name, like the close of a rich hexameter, Clare Doria Forey. But this is a digression; it is perhaps admitted that George Sand, so great a novelist, gave the world few characters who live in and are dear to memory.
A discussion, peculiar to men of the world, succeeded the laugh at Mr. Clarence. Then coffee was handed round and the footman informed Adrian, in a low voice, that Mrs. Doria Forey particularly wished to speak with him. Adrian preferred not to go in alone. "Very well," he said, and sipped his coffee.
Clare Doria Forey. Richard's is Richard Doria Feverel." His breast rose convulsively. Clare Doria Forey! He knew the music of that name. He had heard it somewhere. It sounded faint and mellow now behind the hills of death. He could not read for tears. It was midnight. The hour seemed to belong to her. The awful stillness and the darkness were Clare's.
Accordingly, shortly after General Forey assumed command, he issued an order dissolving the ministry of Almonte, depriving him of his title and limiting him thereafter "in the most exact manner to the instructions of the emperor, which are to proceed as far as possible, with other Mexican generals placed under the protection of our flag, to the organization of the Mexican army."
By Jove, fellows! what luck!" cried that officer, joyously. "What is it?" demanded the others in chorus. "Listen to this!" And he read aloud: "'General Order: An expedition corps, composed of two divisions of infantry, under the command of General Forey, is in process of forming, in order to be sent to Mexico on urgent business.
