When she came to explain how the rumour had arisen and why she had thought it necessary to tell him this, she was obliged to say that it had all arisen from the wrath of the attorney. "He has been to Groby Park," she said, "and now that he has returned he is spreading this report." "I shall go to him to-morrow," said Lucius, very sternly. "No, no; you must not do that.
Next day, when the commons were to meet, Colonel Pride formerly a drayman, had environed the house with two regiments; and, directed by Lord Grey of Groby, he seized in the passage forty-one members of the Presbyterian party, and sent them to a low room, which passed by the appellation of "hell;" whence they were afterwards carried to several inns.
The wife of his bosom was not a pleasant woman, but nevertheless he did his duty by her; that is, he neither deserted her, nor beat her, nor locked her up. I am not sure that he would not have been justified in doing one of these three things, or even all the three; for Mrs. Mason of Groby Park was not a pleasant woman. But yet he was a bad man in that he could never forget and never forgive.
The offer made to surrender the property was no evidence for a jury whatever it might be in the mind of the world at large. "And what am I to do?" asked Mason.

He had caught the name, and thought at the moment that it was the owner of Groby Park. "Lucius Mason," said Peregrine, getting up. "I wonder what he can want me for?" "Oh, Lucius Mason," said the grandfather.
"They are the very people we were talking of at Leeds," said Moulder, turning to Kantwise. "Mason and Martock; don't you remember how you went out to Groby Park to sell some of them iron gimcracks? That was old Mason's son. They are the same people." "Ah, I shouldn't wonder," said Kantwise, who was listening all the while. He never allowed intelligence of this kind to pass by him idly.
