Roger Hamley did not say much about that unfortunate little Osborne Hamley, I suppose. 'On the contrary. He says his father dotes on the child; and he seemed very proud of him, himself. 'I thought the squire must be getting very much infatuated with something. I daresay the French mother takes care of that.
Somehow, he rather disliked asking for Molly to prolong her visit; so he determined to swallow his bitter first, and then take the pleasure of the delicious day, the sweet repose, the murmurous, scented air. Molly stood by him, her hand on his shoulder. He sate opposite to Mrs. Hamley. 'I have come here to-day to ask for a favour, he began. 'Granted before you name it. Am not I a bold woman?
For an instant he had doubted whether young red-headed Mr Coxe's love might not have called out a response in his daughter's breast; but he was quite clear now. 'Molly, you're rude to begin with. I don't know how you're to make your peace with Mrs. Hamley, I'm sure. And in the next place, do you think you're wiser than I am; or that I don't want you at home, if all other things were conformable?
'I think papa wouldn't like it. And, besides, you have helped me so much you and Mr. Roger Hamley. I often, often think of the things he said; they come in so usefully, and are such a strength to me. 'Ah, Roger! yes. He is to be trusted. Oh, Molly! I've a great deal to say to you myself, only not now. I must have my medicine and try to go to sleep. Good girl!
Hamley is the centre of the world, the axle of the universe you shall see. You doubt it?" he added, with a whimsical smile. "I shall dispute most of what you say, and all that you think, if you do not continue to use the Quaker 'thee' and 'thou' ungrammatical as you are so often."
He thinks he is going to be very successful in the choice of his man and he belongs to this county, too, young Hamley of Hamley, if he can only get his college to let him go, for he's a Fellow of Trinity, Senior Wrangler or something; and they're not so foolish as to send their crack man to be eaten up by lions and tigers!
"Thee is now the only person in London, or in England, with whom I use 'thee' and 'thou. I am no longer my own master, I am a public servant, and so I must follow custom." "It is destructive of personality. The 'thee' and 'thou' belong to you. I wonder if the people of Hamley will say 'thee' and 'thou' to me. I hope, I do hope they will." "Thee may be sure they will.
"What is your name, and where do you come from?" she asked, not without anxiety, for there was something ominous and suggestive in the old man's face. "I come from Hamley, in England, and my name is Soolsby, your grace. I come to see my Lady Eglington." Now she remembered him. She had seen him in Hamley more than once. "You have come far; have you important news for her ladyship?
Of course you must be prepared with some kind of proof; for Judge Corbet will have to test your evidence." "It seems strange to think of him as the judge," said Ellinor, almost to herself. "Why, yes. He's but a young judge. You knew him at Hamley, I suppose? I remember his reading there with Mr. Ness." "Yes, but do not let us talk more about that time. Tell me when can I see Dixon?
When the old servant opened the door, a lady with a child in her arms stood there. She gasped out her ready-prepared English sentence, 'Can I see Mr. Osborne Hamley? He is ill, I know; but I am his wife.
