If I were in the Cabinet myself I should not admit so much. There are reticences, of course. And there is an official discretion." "But you don't mean to say, Lady Glencora, that you would really advocate equality?" said Mrs. Bonteen. "I do mean to say so, Mrs. Bonteen.
But he was not able to do this without interference from the judgment of others. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hittaway interfered; and he could not prevent himself from listening to them and believing them, though he would contradict all they said, and snub all their theories. Frank Greystock also continued to interfere, and Lady Glencora Palliser.
"Then keep the other sixpence for your breakfast," said he. "But you must promise me that you will buy no gin to-night." She promised him, and then he gave her his hand as he wished her good night; his hand, which it had been the dearest wish of Lady Glencora to call her own. She took it and pressed it to her lips.
"I have not asked her, if you mean that, Glencora. Had I done so, I should have said so. I told her that I did not know what your engagements were." "I will write to her, if you please," said the wife, who felt that she could hardly refuse any longer. "Do, my dear!" said the husband. So Lady Glencora did write to Mrs Marsham, who promised to come, as did also Alice Vavasor.
"Whatever happens, and at whatever cost, that must be stopped," she had ventured to say to Lady Glencora Palliser, who, however, could hardly be called one of her very intimate friends. "I don't see it at all," said Lady Glencora. "I think Lady Eustace is very nice. And why shouldn't she marry Lord Fawn if she's engaged to him?" "But you have heard of the necklace, Lady Glencora?"
"Nothing from me, aunt; from yourself, whatever you please, of course." Then there was silence between them for a few minutes. "And I have had another letter, from Lady Glencora, who married Mr Palliser, and whom I knew in London last spring." "And has that offended you, too?" "No, there is no offence in that.
Palliser did not press on the other man, but followed him, and did not accost Burgo till he had thrown himself on the grass beneath a tree. "You are in trouble, I fear, Mr Fitzgerald," said Mr Palliser, as soon as he was close at Burgo's feet. "We will go home. Mr Palliser has something to do," said Lady Glencora to Mr Grey, as soon as the two men had disappeared from her sight.
"Oh, Lady Glencora, if it's " "I won't have you call me Lady Glencora. Don't I call you Alice? Why are you so unkind to me? I have not come to you now asking you to do for me anything that you ought not to do." "But you are going to tell me something."
Lady Glencora knew by what means her absence from Monkshade had been brought about. Miss Palliser had told her all that had passed in Alice's bedroom on the last night of Alice's stay at Matching, and had, by so doing, contrived to prevent the visit.
Mr Palliser did not answer at once, and the Duke thought that he saw some sign of hesitation. "I suppose it would not be possible that I should speak to Lady Glencora?" "It could be of no avail, Duke. She would only declare, at the first word, that she would remain in London; but it would not be the less my duty on that account to take her abroad." "Well; I can't say. Of course, I can't say.
