This was done in a manner that astonished even herself by the absence of all publicity or outward scandal. The matter was arranged between Mr. Matthew Round and Mr. Solomon Aram, and was so arranged in accordance with Mr. Furnival's wishes. Mr. Furnival wrote to say that at such a time he would call at The Cleeve with a post-chaise.
So the girls went out, not without proffered assistance from the gentlemen, and after a painfully long interval of some fifteen or twenty minutes, for Miss Furnival's back hair would not come down and adjust itself into ghostlike lengths with as much readiness as that of her friend, they returned bearing the dishes before them on large trays.
The Man in the Monument, himself, was sitting outside the door his own door: the Monument-door: what a grand idea! and was actually yawning, as if there were no Monument to stop his mouth, and give him a perpetual interest in his own existence. Tom was advancing towards this remarkable creature, to inquire the way to Furnival's Inn, when two people came to see the Monument.
Orme and Lady Mason again found themselves in the Hamworth carriage. They had sat in court from ten in the morning till past seven, with a short interval of a few minutes in the middle of the day, and were weary to the very soul when they left it. Lucius again led out his mother, and as he did so he expressed to her in strong language his approval of Mr. Furnival's speech.
"He never allowed her a farthing," said the conversational jeweller. "And she never asked him for one. Mr. Wiggins, his lawyer firm of Wiggins & Whizzer, Furnival's Inn, told me all about his affairs. Oh yes he was a regular "masher" tip-top! Not worth much, I should say. He must have spent over a thousand a year in keeping up that little place at St. John's Wood for Violet Vere.
"She must have told him everything." "No doubt, no doubt. At any rate he knew it all." "And what did you say to him?" "I promised to hold my tongue; and I kept my promise. Mat knows nothing about it to this day." The whole history thus became gradually clear to Mr. Furnival's mind, and he could understand in what manner that marriage had been avoided. Mr.
William Lord Furnival died 12th April 1383, in his house in Holborn, where now stands Furnival's Inn, leaving an only daughter, who married Sir Thomas Nevil, and he in 1406 died, leaving an only daughter, Maud, who married John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury.
Furnival had been so fluent, she felt something of that spirit which had actuated Sir Peregrine, and had almost thought that justice demanded a verdict against her friend. "Do not let her be over-confident," Mr. Aram had said. But in truth Mrs. Orme, as she had listened to Mr. Furnival's speech, had become almost confident that Lady Mason would be acquitted.
"It rather surprises me, because I should have thought he was just the sort of person to attract and fascinate the other sex a bachelor too, without ties, able to take advantage of any success in that line that came his way. I mean, of course, by offering marriage to the party who fancied him." Norah said again that she thought nothing of Mr. Furnival's alleged handsomeness.
I am sure that I shall be as safe with you, dear Mrs. Furnival, as I am with your husband." And she stepped up to the angry matron, looking earnestly into her face. To a true tale of woman's sorrow Mrs. Furnival's heart could be as snow under the noonday sun.
