With the exception of a few baronets and knights, and nine lords by courtesy Hartington, Windsor, Woodstock, Mordaunt, Granby, Scudamore, Fitzharding, Hyde, and Berkeley sons of peers and heirs to peerages all were of the people, a sort of gloomy and silent crowd. When the noise made by the trampling of feet had ceased, the Crier of the Black Rod, standing by the door, exclaimed: "Oyez!"
We hope you'll let us off as easy as you can, and we promise not to meddle in your business again and you can bet your life we'll keep our promise." "I think you will," said I. "I am a man of my word," said he. "And so is Roebuck." "Oh, I don't mean that," was my answer. "I mean, when the Granby object-lesson in the stupidity of premature ingratitude is complete, you shan't be able to forget it."
It was after an uneasy silence that Granby, the uncouth one of the three, said: "Senator, we brought you here to tell you this Burbank nonsense has gone far enough." It was all I could do not to show my astonishment and sudden fury. "I don't understand," said I, in a tone which I somehow managed to keep down to tranquil inquiry. But I did understand.
Bolingbroke, with an unchanged countenance, give it to the servant, who came to ask for "letters for the post." She had now three days of grace, before Mrs. Nettleby's answer could arrive; but of these she disdained to take advantage: she never mentioned what had passed to Mrs. Granby, but persisted in the same haughty conduct towards her husband, persuaded that she should conquer at last.
There was much-envied STRATH With the lady who hath Taught us all what may life be at twenty; Of pleasure a taste, Of duty no waste, Of gentle philosophy plenty. KITTY DRUMMOND was there Where was LAWRENCE, oh! where? And my Lord and my Lady GRANBY; Is there one of the Gang Has not wept at the pang That he never can VIOLET'S man be?
What if the town-clock had struck four? what if at this hour Miss Ayres usually rounded the corner of Granby street on her way home? But, poor fellow! he had tried to think his way through the difficulty.
He had his revolver in his right hand, while he called back over his shoulder to the owner of the store: "Granby, telephone the station for my reserves. The Indians and cowboys of the Wild West Show are on a rampage, and shooting up Gridley. Tell Sergeant Cluny, from me, to bring the reserves on the run!" Bang! bang! bang! Up the street came a picturesque, dangerous looking group.
Granby; but I hope you and I will be good friends yet;" then drawing another chair up to the fire he began to talk to his cousin. Presently the high voice spoke again "Why mustn't I, guvner?" "Why mustn't you what?" "Talk like that of him?" pointing to Reginald. "Because it's not civil. Mr. Trevor is my friend, and I am very fond of him." "Must I like everythink as you like?"
Granby, one of the best connected and most estimable residents in S-, grandson and heir to Sir Frederic Granby: I had the intelligence from her father yesterday." His sisters looked at each other and at me; we all three looked at him: he was serene as glass. "The match must have been got up hastily," said Diana: "they cannot have known each other long."
I looked at Jonadab, and he looked at me. I thought of Marm Granby, and her being "dying to know us," and I thought of the lies about the "hod of change" and all the rest, and I give you my word I didn't grin, not enough to show my wisdom teeth, anyhow. A crack in the ice an inch wide would have held me, with room to spare; I know that.
