There had been a moment in which the same idea had suggested itself to her; but now since her friendship with Jack had been strengthened by his conduct in the deanery garden she thought that he might do better with himself than be made by Mrs. Jones to marry Guss Mildmay.
Poor Mary blushed as she thought of it. But there was a paragraph in the letter which interested her as much as the tidings respecting Lord Brotherton. Could it be right that Jack De Baron should be made to marry Guss Mildmay? She thought not, for she knew that he did not love Guss Mildmay. That he should have wanted an impossible brick, whether the highest or lowest brick, was very sad.
I am very bad, but I'm just not bad enough to make love to her. Or rather I am very foolish, but just not foolish enough to think that I could win her." "I suppose she's just the same as others, Jack." "She's not just the same to me. But I'd rather not talk about her, Guss. I'm going to Killancodlem in a day or two, and I shall leave this to-morrow!" "To-morrow!" "Well; yes; to-morrow.
"We didn't mean to tell you," said Guss; "but I and Sophy are going to work two sofas for the drawing-room in Berlin wool, you know: they'll be very handsome everybody has them now, you know; they have a splendid pair at Ballyhaunis which Nora and her cousin worked." "But we want to know what pattern would suit Fanny's taste," said Sophy.
The three ladies were all smiles to meet their guests; Mrs O'Kelly, dressed in a piece of satin turk, came forward to shake hands with the General, but Sophy and Guss kept their positions, beneath the coffee-pot and tea-urn, at each end of the long table, being very properly of opinion that it was the duty of the younger part of the community to come forward, and make their overtures to them.
Guss herself must know that such a marriage was impossible. She had on an occasion said a word or two to Guss upon the subject. She had thought that a little flirtation between Jack and her other friend Lady George might put things right; and she had thought, too, or perhaps felt rather than thought, that Lord George had emancipated himself from the thraldom of his late love rather too quickly.
Houghton's who had been in Brothershire, and were therefore in some degree connected even with the Dean. Guss began at once about the new Marchioness and the baby; and the Dean, though he did not of course speak to Guss Mildmay as he had done to his own daughter, still sneered at the mother and her child. In the meantime Aunt Ju was enlisting poor Mary.
"Are you two friends?" he asked. "Not particularly." "I wish you were. But, of course, I have no right to wish in such a matter as that." Lady George felt that she wished that Guss Mildmay had not seen her riding in the park on that day with Jack De Baron.
Houghton had been very intimate as girls, knew each other's secrets, and understood each other's characters. "Why did you have him to such a party as this?" said Guss. "I told you he was coming." "But you didn't tell me about that young woman. You put him next to her on purpose to annoy me." "That's nonsense. You know as well as I do that nothing can come of it.
He also introduced me to his son, Captain George Guss, who had been in the army with him during the Civil War. It was not until we had talked of old family connections for an hour or more that they discovered that I was Buffalo Bill; then they simply flooded me with questions. To make sure that I would return for a second visit, the young people of the family accompanied me back to New York.
