The scheme was only partially successful. The water ghost appeared at the specified time, and found the heir of Harrowby prepared; but hot as the room was, it shortened her visit by no more than five minutes in the hour, during which time the nervous system of the young master was well-nigh shattered, and the room itself was cracked and warped to an extent which required the outlay of a large sum of money to remedy.
"She has the flight of a skylark let out of a cage. Her moving is flight not ordinary walking. I hope her work has kept her away from well, from young gods and things." "The streets are full of them," said Harrowby, "marching to defy death and springing to meet glory marching not walking. Young Mars and Ajax and young Paris with Helen in his eyes. She might be some youngster's Helen!
No, if Edgar married any one but herself, let him at least marry some one as well fitted for him as herself, not one like Leam Dundas. For the sake of the neighborhood at large the mistress of the Hill ought to be a certain kind of person they all knew of what kind and a queer, unconformable creature like Leam set up there as the Mrs. Harrowby of the period would throw all things into confusion.
The next year the master of Harrowby Hall decided not to have the best spare bedroom opened at all, thinking that perhaps the ghost's thirst for making herself disagreeable would be satisfied by haunting the furniture, but the plan was as unavailing as the many that had preceded it.
She was a human being if you will, a Christian in creed and name assuredly; but beyond and above all things she was a well-mannered, well-conducted English lady, a person of spotless morals and exquisite propriety, in the presence of whom humanity must not be human, truth truthful, nor Nature natural. This was the wife for Edgar Harrowby as a country gentleman the woman whom Mrs.
The landlord very civilly told me of your having engaged a carriage from his house a day or two before, to carry you to one of his lordship's seats within a few miles of Somerset Castle. Hence, from what I heard you say of the situation of Harrowby, I concluded it must be the Abbey, and so I sought you at a venture." "And I hope a happy issue," replied she, "will arise from your wanderings!
Of course they all confessed that it was a bold thing for Miss Josephine to be the third wife of a man some of the more prudish pursed their lips and said they wondered how she could, and they wondered yet more how Mrs. Harrowby ever allowed it, and why, if Mr.
George and his Dragon!" ejaculated the master of Harrowby, wringing his hands. "It is guineas to hot-cross buns that next Christmas there's an occupant of the spare room, or I spend the night in a bath-tub."
Doctor Cavendish having been detained beyond his expected time with his invalid friend at Stanford, was happily still there, and set off for Harrowby the instant Mr. Constanine's messenger arrived, and before midnight alighted at the Abbey. When he entered Lady Tinemouth's chamber he found her supported in the arms of Thaddeus, and struggling with a second rupture of her lungs.
STAFFORD TO CREWE. On leaving Stafford for Crewe we pass on the right Ingestrie Park, the seat of the Earl of Talbot; the ruins of Chartley Castle, the property of Earl Ferrers, the defendant in the action brought by Miss Smith for breach of promise of marriage; and Sandon Park, the seat of the Earl of Harrowby, who for many years, before succeeding his father, represented Liverpool in the House of Commons as Lord Sandon.
