And in this way, saying hard things of the poor old spinster whom they had left, they made their way into Guestwick, and again dismounted at Mrs Eames's door. A Visit to Guestwick
We were going to leave because we thought mamma would be more comfortable in Guestwick; and now we're not going to leave, because we've all 'changed our mindses, as Mrs Crump calls it." "And is it true the house is going to be painted?" asked Mrs Boyce. "I believe it is true," said Lily. "Inside and out?" "It must be done some day," said Bell.
He had supposed himself to be richer than other Dales of Allington when coming in upon his property, and had consequently entertained an idea of sitting in Parliament for his county. In order that he might attain this honour he had allowed himself to be talked by the men of Hamersham and Guestwick out of his old family politics, and had declared himself a Liberal.
She would not consent to operate on so base a subject. So you really are going down to Guestwick?" "Yes; I start to-morrow. Good-by, old fellow. I'll come and sit for Sisera if you'll let me; only Miss Van Jael shall have a blunted nail, if you please." Then Johnny left the artist's room and walked across from Kensington to Lady Demolines' house.
I suppose in strict morality I ought to leave the lodgings. But, by George, I don't see why a man's to be turned out in that way. And then I couldn't make a clean score with old mother Roper. But I say, old fellow, who gave you the gold chain?" "Well; it was an old family friend at Guestwick; or rather, I should say, a man who said he knew my father."
"I know how good you are, and I know the great value of what I refuse; but in this matter it must be my duty to tell you the simple truth." It had been decided between the squire and Mrs Dale that the removal from the Small House to Guestwick was not to take place till the first of May.
He had a full view of the doctor's felicity, as the happy pair sat opposite to him, and conceived himself to be hardly treated by Lily's absence. The party was certainly very dull, as were all such dinners at Guestwick Manor.
If you'll let me have him to-morrow, I'll ride to Allington." So he walked off to Guestwick by himself. He knew well every yard of the ground over which he went, remembering every gate and stile and greensward from the time of his early boyhood. And now as he went along through his old haunts, he could not but look back and think of the thoughts which had filled his mind in his earlier wanderings.
There was, therefore, a question of buying new furniture for a house in Guestwick, a question not devoid of importance to the possessor of so moderate an income as that owned by Mrs Dale. In the first month or two they were to live in lodgings, and their goods were to be stored in some friendly warehouse.
Then as he walked back alone, he swore to himself, binding himself to the oath with all his heart, that he would be true to those women, both to the daughter and to the mother; for the solemnity of the morning was still upon him. He was to start the next morning before eight, Bernard having undertaken to drive him over to the railway at Guestwick.
