Lady Fox-Wilton whom I have just seen she overtook me driving on the Markborough road half an hour ago, and we had some conversation talks of taking a house at Tours for a year an excellent thing for them all.
Hester might easily have been sent away during these descents. But the fact was she had grown up so rapidly yesterday a mischievous child, to-day a woman in her first bloom that they had all been taken by surprise. Besides, who could have imagined any communication whatever between the Fox-Wilton household and the riotous party at Sandford Abbey?
We don't want her on the spot any longer we don't want any of them!" said the Rector, dismissing the Fox-Wilton family with an emphatic gesture which probably represented what he had gone through in the interview with Edith. ... "In that way the thing will soon die down.
"I shall not take action" Meynell resumed "and I shall not dream of retreating from my position here. Judith Sabin's story is untrue. She did not see me at Grenoble and I am not the father of Hester Fox-Wilton. As to anything else, I am not at liberty to discuss other people's affairs, and I shall not answer any questions whatever on the subject." The two men surveyed each other.
But the Rector and Lady Fox-Wilton have quite forbidden any engagement between Stephen and Hester. Stephen did propose and they said not for two years at least." "You mean to say that Stephen actually was such a fool?" said her father violently, staring at her. Theresa nodded. "A girl of the most headstrong and frivolous character! a trouble to everybody about her.
The Fox-Wilton family passed for rich; and the notion that they must and would be ready to come forward with money, when once the thing was irrevocable, counted for much in the muddy plans of which his mind was full. His own idea was to go to South America to Buenos Ayres, where money was to be made, and where he had some acquaintance.
Sabin declared to me that having herself independently become aware of certain facts, while she was a servant in Lady Fox-Wilton's employment, that lady no doubt in order to ensure her silence took her abroad with herself and her young sister, Miss Alice, to a place in France she had some difficulty in pronouncing it sounded to me like Grenoble; that there Miss Puttenham became the mother of a child, which passed thenceforward as the child of Sir Ralph and Lady Fox-Wilton, and received the name of Hester.
There's to be an inquest this evening, they say." "Don't spend all your time chattering in the village, Sarah," said Lady Fox-Wilton severely, as, still with her back toward the girls, she moved away in the direction of the drive. "You'll never get your dress done if you do." "I say what's wrong with mamma?" said Hester coolly, looking after her.
"I shall get some more by that man." "Well, you'd better be careful!" He laughed. "I've got some others, but I didn't want to recommend them to you. Lady Fox-Wilton wouldn't exactly approve." "I don't tell mamma what I read." The girl's young voice sounded sharply beside him in the warm autumnal dusk. "But if you lent me anything you oughtn't to lend me I would never speak to you again!"
Alice fixed her eyes on the old man, as though she would thereby shut out all his surroundings. "You are inquiring, sir into the death of my daughter." The Coroner made a sudden movement. "Your daughter, madam? I understood that, this poor young lady was the daughter of the late Sir Ralph and Lady Fox-Wilton?" "She was their adopted daughter. Her father was Mr. Neville Flood, and I am her mother.
