From Norfolk he repaired to Belvoir Castle, on a visit to the Duke of Rutland, and was present at a banquet given by the agriculturists of Leicestershire to his friend and supporter the Marquis of Granby. After this he returned to Welbeck, where he seems to have enjoyed a little repose.
Provoked to speak more plainly, the lady exclaimed, "Unfeeling, cruel, barbarous man! Have not you this whole day been trying your utmost skill to torment me to death? and, proud of your success, now you come to enjoy your triumph." "Success! triumph!" "Yes, triumph! I see it in your eyes it is in vain to deny it. All this I owe to your friend Mr. Granby. Why he should be my enemy!
As the curtain fell at the end of the act, and the applause gave way to an excited buzz in the audience, Patty hugged Georgie gleefully. "It's fifty times better than last year!" "Heaven send Theo Granby is out there!" piously ejaculated Georgie. THE curtain had risen on the fourth act, and Patty squeezed herself into the somewhat close quarters behind the balcony.
The Marquis of Granby having returned from the army in Germany, travelled with all possible expedition from the English port at which he landed to London, and finding on his arrival that the king was at Windsor, he proceeded there in his travelling-dress; where desiring to be instantly introduced to his majesty, a certain lord came forward, who said he hoped the noble marquis did not mean to go into the presence of his majesty in so improper a habit, adding, "'Pon my honour, my lord, you look more like a groom than a gentleman."
He continued his march to Monk's Corner, where he covered Charleston and the surrounding country. The partisan chiefs rapidly seized this opportunity of attacking the interior posts and reduced successively Orangeburg and Granby on the Congaree, and early in June, Augusta, the key of upper Georgia, surrendered to Lee and Pickens. In these five forts they made 1,100 prisoners.
Ambrose Lace, for example, master of the Liverpool ship Marquis of Granby bound in 1762 for Old Calabar, was ordered to combine with any other ships on the river to keep down rates, to buy 550 young and healthy slaves and such ivory as his surplus cargo would purchase, and to guard against fire, fever and attack.
Three weeks, it seems, were passed by him in this most doubtfully judicious form of bodily and mental relaxation weeks which he spent, he afterwards writes, in "drinking the waters, and receiving from them marvellous strength, had I not debilitated it as fast as I got it by playing the good fellow with Lord Granby and Co. too much."
"I shall not enter into any discussion upon the subject," replied our heroine; for this was one of the cases where she made it a rule never to reason. "I can only say that I have my own opinion, and that I beg to be excused from keeping up any acquaintance whatever with Mrs. Granby." "And I beg to be excused from keeping up any acquaintance whatever with Mr. Nettleby," replied her husband.
The disputants eagerly approached her at the same instant, and looked as if their fortunes or lives depended upon the decision. "I think I have heard the word pronounced both ways, by well-bred and well-informed people," said Mrs. Granby. "That is saying nothing, my dear," said Mrs. Bolingbroke, pettishly. "This is saying all I want," said Mr. Bolingbroke, satisfied.
The ladies had time to discuss who and what she was: as she had lived in the country, few of them had seen, or could tell any thing about her; but our heroine circulated her opinion in whispers, and every one was prepared to laugh at the pattern wife, the original Griselda revived, as Mrs. Nettleby sarcastically called her. Mrs. Granby was announced.
