As usual, Arabella had all the practical labour a fact that was noticed from the observant heights. "One sees mere de famille written on that young woman," was the eulogy she won from Lady Gosstre. How much would the great dame have marvelled to behold the ambition beneath the bustling surface! Arabella was feverish, and Freshfield Sumner reported brilliant things uttered by her.
The idea that the Tinleys strove to catch at her skirts made Arabella spiteful. Up to the threshold of Besworth, Freshfield, Mr. Powys, Tracy, and Arabella kept the wheel of a dazzling run of small-talk, throwing intermittent sparks. "You are anxious to know?" said Arabella, hesitatingly. "To know, dear?" echoed Laura. "There was, I presumed, something you did not hear."
C. K. Freshfield, member for Dover, asked the Home Secretary whether the Government intended to prosecute the Freethinker. I believe they are better left to the reprobation which they will meet in this country from all decent members of society. This highly disingenuous answer was characteristic of the member for Derby.
The "Does he think of me?" and "What am I to him?" such timorous little feather-play of feminine emotion she knew nothing of: in her heart was the strong flood of a passion. She met Edward Buxley and Freshfield Sumner at a cross-path, on their way to Brookfield; and then Adela joined the party, which soon embraced Mr. Barrett, and subsequently Cornelia.
"Curiosity!" sighed some one, relieving Freshfield from a sense of the guilt of heaviness. "I am a Pandora," Laura smilingly said. "To whom?" Tracy Runningbrook's shout was heard. "With champagne in the heads of the men, and classics in the heads of the women, we shall come; to something," remarked Lady Gosstre half to herself and Georgiana near her. An observer of Mr.
Nevertheless, she exhibited good pretensions to social queendom, both personal and practical; and if Freshfield Sumner, instead of his crisp waspish comments on people and things, had seconded her by keeping up a two-minutes' flow of talk from time to time, she might have thought that Lady Gosstre was only luckier than herself not better endowed. Below, the Tinleys and their set surrounded Mr.
Edward Buxley was simply caught in a trap: He had the folly to imagine that by laughing he released himself. "Is not that the laugh of an engaged?" said Adela to Freshfield. He replied: "That would have been my idea under other conditions," and looked meaningly. She met the look with: "There are harsh conditions in life, are there not?" and left him sufficiently occupied by his own sensations.
Bedford was described as "a person of such great hospitality that Queen Elizabeth was wont to say of him that he made all the beggars." Clark, Shirburn Ballads, 256. J.C. Cox, Three Centuries of Derbyshire Annals, i, 136. E. Freshfield, St. Bartholomew, Exchange, Acc'ts, s.a. 1598, et passim. Freshfield, St.
"See! she must be a born actress. They always exaggerate in that style, so that you would really think she had a mighty passion for Brookfield." "Or in it," suggested Freshfield. "Or in it!" she laughed assentingly. Mr. Pole was perceived entering the garden, rubbing his hands a little too obsequiously to some remark of the baronet's, as the critical ladies imagined.
"Ah, you want to surprise us with cards on a sudden from Besworth!" "That is not the surprise I have in store," returned Arabella sedately. "Then you have a surprise? Do tell me." "How true to her sex is the lady who seeks to turn 'what it is' into 'what it isn't!" said Freshfield, trusty lieutenant.
