"What things?" asked Miss Macmanus, in a peculiarly strong-minded tone. Miss Grogram seemed to be for a moment silenced. I had been ignored, as I have said, and my existence forgotten; but now I observed that the eyes of the culprits were turned towards me, the eyes, that is, of four of them. Mrs.
"Why, from the castle, to be sure; from General Chasse's own rooms." "Did anybody sell them to you?" "No." "Or give them to you?" "Why, no; at least not exactly give." "There they were, and she took 'em," said the broad-back. Oh, what a look Miss Grogram gave her! "Took them! of course I took them. That is, you took them as much as I did. They were things that we found lying about."
These merchants export to Turkey chiefly broadcloth, long-ells, tins, lead, and some iron; and the English merchants frequently buy up French and Lisbon sugars and transport thither, as well as bullion from Cadiz. The commodities received from thence are chiefly raw silk, grogram yarn, dyeing stuffs of sundry kinds, drugs, soap; leather, cotton, and some fruit, oil, &c.
"Why, General Chasse of course," said Miss Grogram. "They were the general's," repeated the two young ladies; blushing, however, as they alluded to the subject. "Well, we thought they were the general's, certainly; and a very excellent article they were," said Mrs. Jones. "Perhaps they were the butler's?" said Aunt Sally. I certainly had not given her credit for so much sarcasm.
I soon died away into utter unrecognised insignificance, and the conversation, as I have before said, became feminine. And indeed that horrid Miss Grogram, who was, as it were, the princess of the ghouls, nearly monopolised the whole of it. Mamma Jones we will call her Jones for the occasion put in a word now and then, as did also the elder and more energetic Miss Macmanus.
An' here, they'n gi'en you lots o' good grogram and flannel, as should ha' been gi'en by good rights to them as had the sense to keep away from such foolery. Ye might spare me a bit o' this grogram to make clothes for the lad ye war ne'er ill-natured, Bess; I ne'er said that on ye."
Lambert had naturally obeyed, without murmur, but with vague trepidations at thought of this, his first journey into the great town. Sir Marmaduke had been very kind, had given him a new suit of grogram, lined with flowered silk, which Lambert thought the richest garment he had ever seen.
"There has been no mistake at all, sir!" said Miss Grogram. "Perhaps not," I answered, very mildly; "very likely not. But some affair of a similar nature was very much talked about in Antwerp yesterday." "Oh laws!" again ejaculated Mrs. Jones. "The affair I allude to has been talked about a good deal, certainly," I continued. "But perhaps it may be altogether a different circumstance."
Sir Gregory Grogram, who was a rich, energetic man, determined to have a peerage, and convinced that, should the Coalition fall to pieces, the Liberal element would be in the ascendant, so that the woolsack would then be opened to him, declined to occupy the place.
There must be the church, and all that; and for the rest, Amy, I don't think I shall find out whether you wear lace or grogram. 'There's encouragement for me! said Amy, laughing. 'However, what I mean is, that I don't care about it, if I am not obliged to attend, and give my mind, to those kind of things just then, and that mamma will take care of. 'Is it not a great trouble for her?
