Justice Garrow and Mr. Justice Burrough were my counsel; and the former made an eloquent appeal to the court, declaring that he would much rather be placed in my situation than that of the noble lord; and winding up his speech with a high eulogium upon my character, he said, that if he lived in my neighbourhood, I should be the first man that he would seek for as a friend, &c. &c.
Of course she has means, and he likes to do everything well." "Speaking for myself," said Harding, "I have always held that a man's career rests rather on his genius than his marriage." "But you, my dear fellow," put in Lord Garrow, testily, "you retired from political life because your theories could find no illustration there." "Pardon me," said Sir Piers, with a grim laugh.
And I must content myself with recording my recollections of those among them in whom the world may be supposed to take an interest. Theodosia Garrow, when living with her parents at "The Braddons," at Torquay, had known Elizabeth Barrett.
Garrow it may suffice to say that she always deserved such sunshine. For years past it had been the practice of the family to have some sort of gathering at Thwaite Hall during Christmas. Godfrey Holmes had been left under the guardianship of Major Garrow, and, as he had always spent his Christmas holidays with his guardian, this, perhaps, had given rise to the practice.
Lord Garrow looked the grief appropriate to the news, and disguised, as well as he could, his dismay at its probable development. He murmured, "Tut! tut!" a number of times, held up his hands, and nodded his head from side to side. "I wish nothing said against poor Agnes," observed Reckage; "her mistakes are those of a generous, impetuous girl. Don't judge her hastily.
"Have you seen him?" "No," he replied; "but, in any case, I think he would have avoided me to-day." "Why?" "From motives of delicacy. Henry Marshire is a man of the nicest feeling. He is never guilty of the least mistake." Sara smiled, and so disguised a blush. "I did not mean Marshire," she said. "I was thinking then of Robert Orange." "Robert Orange," exclaimed Lord Garrow in astonishment.
"Forcing a change is a very ticklish business," said Aumerle, studying the menu, and regretting that his digestion was not all it had been. Lord Garrow deplored the fact that Mr. Gladstone had embarked on a very vulgar and very false policy. "But its vulgarity," he sighed, "gives it a very easy reception."
Garrow, "you will find Bessy in the dining-room," she whispered; but in so whispering she was quite unconscious of the mistletoe bough. And so also was Bessy, nor do I think that she was much more conscious when that introduction was over.
As Garrow watched his daughter's face, he may have been touched to a deeper chord than usual at the sight of her strange and growing resemblance to his dead Tatiana. Did she too possess as her mother had possessed the sweet but calamitous gift of loving? He himself had not been the object of his wife's supreme devotion.
The preposterousness of this no human being would have felt more strongly than Theodosia Garrow, except Theodosia Trollope, when such an estimate had become yet more preposterous. But Landor, whose unstinted admiration of Mrs. Browning's poetry is vigorously enough expressed in his own strong language, as may be seen in Mr.
