The London winter was now over, and, taking advantage of the continuance of his wife's perverse fit of duty and unqualified submission, he one day requested her to accompany him into the country, to spend a few weeks with his friend Mr. Granby, at his charming place in Devonshire. The part of a wife was to obey, and Griselda was bound to support her character.
As for Elmira, she was much troubled in mind lest she ought to rebuke the young man for his boldness, but could not bring herself so to do, not being certain that she had not kissed him back and been as guilty as he. The young couple went so all the way to Granby, striving now and then, with casual talk, each to blind the other as to perturbation of spirit.
Granby "such fun." To have Mrs. Fleming come in, as she presently did, was bliss indeed to Lily, who delighted in pitting the cheery, lively little Mrs. Granby against the melancholy, depressing Mrs. Fleming. Nor was the entertainment long in beginning. Jane was to carry home some work which Mrs. Granby had finished, and as the latter was putting it up Mrs.
His mud-bespattered sulky and his smart mare, advancing always with desperate flings of forward hoofs which caused the children to scatter were familiar objects, not only in the cluster of Uphams, but also in Dale and Granby, and the little outlying hamlet of Ford's Hill, which was nothing but a scattering group of farm-houses, with a spire in their midst, and which came under the jurisdiction of Upham.
I'll go and see her directly; see her I must." "I am heartily glad of it, my dear; for I am sure a visit to his wife will give my friend Granby real pleasure." "I promise you, my dear, I do not go to give him pleasure, or you either; but to satisfy my own curiosity."
"Loves me yes; but that won't do, you know." "It will do a great deal; a soul that loves something better than itself is not far off loving the Best. Good night, old fellow." Lawrence went back to Wikkey, and leant his back against the mantelpiece, looking thoughtfully down at the boy. "What did the other chap call you?" inquired Wikkey. "Granby, do you mean?" Wikkey nodded.
This, though the belief was long cherished, recent discoveries have shewn to be questionable. No doubt her integrity would have survived to the present moment, if an extraordinary fate had not befallen her. Major Stuart had been engaged, while in Germany, in a contest of honor with an Aid de Camp of the Marquis of Granby. His adversary had propagated a rumour injurious to his character.
Bolingbroke, instead of opposing his will to that of his wife, which, in fact, was only conquering force by force, would speak reasonably to her, probably she might be induced to yield, or to command her temper. Mrs. Granby suggested, that a compromise, founded on an offer of mutual sacrifice and mutual compliance, might be obtained. That Mr.
Fort Motte, Fort Granby, Fort Watson, the fort at Orangeburg, and every other post in South Carolina, except Charleston and Ninety-Six, had yielded successively to the American arms, under the command of Greene, Sumter, Marion, and Lee; and now General Greene turned all his energies to the reduction of Ninety-Six, giving orders at the same time, for General Sumter to remain in the country south and west of the Congaree, so as to cut off all communication between Lord Rawdon, who was at Charleston awaiting reinforcements from England, and Colonel Cruger, who was in command at Ninety-Six.
I know I am but your plaything after all: you cannot consider me for a moment as your equal or your friend I see that! You talk of these things to your friend Mr. Granby I am not worthy to hear them. Well, I am sure I have no ambition, except to possess the confidence of the man I love."
