"Nay, it is unwomanly; but one may be driven. One may be so driven that all gentleness of womanhood is driven out of one." "Oh, Glencora!" "I did not propose that you should do it as a sudden thing." "Glencora!" "I did do it suddenly. I know it. I did it like a beast that is driven as its owner chooses. I know it. I was a beast. Oh, Alice, if you know how I hate myself!"
I don't like her, and I won't pretend to like her. My belief is that she follows me about to tell you if she thinks that I do wrong." "Glencora!" "And that odious baboon with the red bristles does the same thing, only he goes to her because he doesn't dare to go to you." Plantagenet Palliser was struck wild with dismay.
"And what will you gain by changing all this simply for a title?" "But for such a title, Lady Glencora! It may be little to you to be Duchess of Omnium, but think what it must be to me!" "And for this you will not hesitate to rob him of all his friends, to embitter his future life, to degrade him among his peers, " "Degrade him! Who dares say that I shall degrade him?
"I don't know anything at all about it," said Phineas, who was not very fond of the lady who was giving him the information. "It is so, I can assure you; but since the boy was born Lady Glencora can do anything with the Duke. She made him go to Ascot last spring, and he presented her with the favourite for one of the races on the very morning the horse ran.
But on the next morning there came a letter from Barrington Erle to Lady Glencora, which told so much, and hinted so much more, that it will be well to give it to the reader. Travellers', 29 Jan., 186 I hope you got my telegram yesterday. I had just seen Mackintosh, on whose behalf, however, I must say that he told me as little as he possibly could.
Lady Glencora felt that Mrs Marsham was her Cerberus, and she was heartily resolved that if she was to be kept in the proper line at all, she would not be so kept by Mrs Marsham. Alice rose and accepted Mrs Marsham's salutation quite as coldly as it had been given, and from that time forward those two ladies were enemies.
I've a lot of letters I want to write to-night, as I must be at work all to-morrow. By-the-by, Mr Bott is coming to dine here. There will be no one else." The next day was a Wednesday, and the House would not sit in the evening. "Mr Bott!" said Lady Glencora, showing by her voice that she anticipated no pleasure from that gentleman's company. "Yes, Mr Bott. Have you any objection?" "Oh, no.
"He's very much bound up with Lord George," said Mrs. Rutter, "and is afraid that he may be implicated." "In my opinion he's quite right," said Lord Fawn. All these matters were told to the duke by Lady Glencora and Madame Goesler in the recesses of his grace's private room; for the duke was now infirm, and did not dine in company unless the day was very auspicious to him.
On another occasion she returned from an evening walk, showing on her face some sign of the exercise she had taken. "Good G ! Glencora," said he, "do you mean to kill yourself?" He wanted her to eat six or seven times a day; and always told her that she was eating too much, remembering some ancient proverb about little and often.
There was a terribly handsome man about town, who had spent every shilling that anybody would give him, who was very fond of brandy, who was known, but not trusted, at Newmarket, who was said to be deep in every vice, whose father would not speak to him; and with him the Lady Glencora was never tired of dancing.
