'You must take care what you say to Lizzie about the Hazlebys, said Lady Merton; 'a very little might make it appear that we wished to set her against her step-mother's relations. 'Oh! that would never do, said Anne, 'but I am afraid it will be very difficult to keep from shewing what we think, if Mrs. Hazleby is all that Lizzie says.
Hazleby, that he charmed her with his attention, gave her no time to say anything about Fido, and left Anne much surprised that she had never found out that he was laughing at her. At dinner, the grouse he had brought came to their aid; Mrs.
There has been a natural antipathy, an instinctive dislike, between Mrs. Major Hazleby and me, ever since she paid her first visit here, and, seeing me listening to something she was saying to Mamma, she turned round upon me with that odious proverb, "Little pitchers have long ears."
Hazleby, who were broken-hearted about it; yet would you believe it? the very day that Papa was gone to Hastings, to the funeral, and Mamma was at home, too ill and too wretched to go, even to her mother, I was out in the garden with Horace and Dora, forgot all about her distress, and began a noisy game with them close under her window.
However, I do not think I have been shamefully slovenly in my own person since that explosion, and I have scarcely been spoken to about it. Who could disregard such an appeal? But, Anne, are you not enchanted with sweet Mrs. Hazleby? 'I wish you would not ask me, Lizzie, said Anne, feeling very prudent, 'you know that I know nothing of her.
'It is certainly rather a strong word, said Lady Merton, 'but you will allow me to say that she has a great dread of her; I think Mrs. Hazleby scolds and frightens her. 'What a fury she must be, said Anne, laughing, 'to be able to scold and frighten such a gentle Desdomona as Mrs. Woodbourne.
'Oh! let me see, cried Harriet, advancing cautiously over the morass. 'Are you curious in such matters. Miss Hazleby? said Rupert, laughing, as Harriet came splashing towards him through the wet, holding up her frock with one hand, and stretching out the other to him, to be helped upon the island.
Hazleby was delighted to taste a blackcock once more, and was full of reminiscences of Inchlitherock; and by means of these recollections, and Rupert's newly imported histories, Sir Edward and Mr. Woodbourne contrived to make the conversation more entertaining than Elizabeth thought it ever could be in any party in which Mrs. Hazleby was present.
'Oh! half the rooms can be made Knight's Templar's horses and carry double, said Elizabeth; 'Mrs. Hazleby and both the girls may very well be in the blue room. 'And there is the best room for the Mertons, and Horace's for Rupert, said Katherine. 'Poor Horace! it is a shame that he, who laid the first stone, should not be at the Consecration, said Elizabeth.
'And now that you have fitted the moral to my story, I must go down and help Mrs. Woodbourne to entertain Mrs. Hazleby. 'I pity you, said Anne. 'If everyone, or indeed if half the world were like her, I should be more violent in my opinions than Lizzie is. 'And what are you going to do? asked Lady Merton.
