The Hartletop people had pressed him very much, the pressure having come with peculiar force from Lord Dumbello. Therefore it is reasonable to suppose that the Hartletop people had at any rate not heard of the rumour. Mr Plantagenet Palliser spent his Christmas with his uncle, the Duke of Omnium, at Gatherum Castle.
Mark bowed, and said that he was delighted to have the honour of making Mr. Fothergill's acquaintance. "I am commissioned by the Duke of Omnium," continued Mr. Fothergill, "to say how glad he will be if you will join his grace's party at Gatherum Castle next week. The bishop will be there, and indeed nearly the whole set who are here now.
"I don't know when he has done such a thing before," said Sowerby; "and you may be quite sure of this, he would not have done it now, had you not gone to Gatherum Castle when he asked you: indeed, Fothergill would have known that it was vain to attempt it.
"Let's have everybody down at Gatherum, just as we had before," said the Duchess. The proposition almost took away the Duke's breath. "Why do you want a crowd, like that?" "Just to show them that we are not beaten because we are turned out." "But, inasmuch as we were turned out, we were beaten. And what has a gathering of people at my private house to do with a political manoeuvre?
A typical product with just as much right to a place in English religion as Meynell and no more." "Hugh! you must behave very nicely to the Bishop to-night." "I should think I must! considering the ominum gatherum you have asked to meet him. I really do not think you ought to have asked Meynell." "There we must agree to differ," said Rose firmly.
Supplehouse and Harold Smith, with one or two others, were at Gatherum for this express purpose. Mr. Fothergill, too, was a noted politician, and was supposed to know the duke's mind well; and Mr. Green Walker, the nephew of the marchioness, was a young man whom the duke desired to have brought forward.

To cover this and some other little outstanding trifles, I have filled in the new bill for £500, making it due 23rd of May next. Before that time, a certain accident will, I trust, have occurred to your impoverished friend. By the by, I never told you how she went off from Gatherum Castle, the morning after you left us, with the Greshams.
The Honourable George drove either well or luckily, for he reached the duke's house in safety; but he drove very fast. Poor Miss Dunstable! what would have been her lot had anything but good happened to that vehicle, so richly freighted with her three lovers! They did not quarrel as to the prize, and all reached Gatherum Castle in good humour with each other.
Down at Gatherum Castle the matter had been known, or partly known, but the telling of it had always been to the great honour and glory of the hero. Major Pountney had almost broken his heart over it, and Captain Gunner, writing to his friend from the Curragh, had asserted his knowledge that it was all a "got-up thing" between the two men.
At the farther end of Green Street, near to Park Lane, lived Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith. Dr. Thorne When Miss Dunstable met her friends the Greshams young Frank Gresham and his wife at Gatherum Castle, she immediately asked after one Dr. Thorne, who was Mrs. Gresham's uncle. Dr. Thorne was an old bachelor, in whom both as a man and a doctor Miss Dunstable was inclined to place much confidence.
