Seldom breaking silence himself, he lent the most flattering attention to anyone who spoke, his brows knitted in the resolve to grasp and assimilate whatever wisdom was uttered: "Did you walk out from Hollingford?" asked Lady Ogram, who again had her eyes fixed on the visitor. "No, I drove, as I didn't know the way." "You'd have done much better to walk. Couldn't you ask the way?
She interrupted him. "Could you come down in a fortnight?" "Easily, and gladly." "Then do so. Don't go to Hollingford; your room will be ready for you here. Just write and let me know when you will arrive." In a few minutes, both men took their leave, and went back to Hollingford together, driving in a fly which Breakspeare had ordered.
Many thanks for taking so much trouble to bring me the news." She held out her hand. Dyce took and detained it. "I am going to stay on at Hollingford," he said, "at the hotel. I shall run up to town this evening, but be back to-morrow.
She had found out their effect at Ashcombe; and it was not less at Hollingford. But she was rather perplexed at kindly messages to Molly, and at inquiries as to how the Miss Brownings liked the tea she had sent; and Molly had first to explain, and then to narrate at full length, all the occurrences of the afternoon at Ashcombe Manor House, and Lady Harriet's call upon her at Miss Brownings'.
Don't you see, little one, I talked after my kind, just as you talk after your kind. It's only on the surface with both of us. Why, I daresay some of your good Hollingford ladies talk of the poor people in a manner which they would consider as impertinent in their turn, if they could hear it.

But not even guinea-fowls for supper could tempt Mr. Sheepshanks. He remembered the made-wines he had tasted in former days at Hollingford parties, and shuddered. So the ex-agent had been seldom, if ever, seen at the Hollingford tea-parties.
She's a good, simple, intelligent little girl, which you'll think a great deal more of, I suppose, than of the frivolous fact of her being very pretty, Clare! will you allow me to introduce my brother to Miss Gibson? he hopes to engage her for this dance. Lord Hollingford, Miss Gibson!

For as soon as Mr Henderson had made his appearance in Hollingford, she had written a second letter, entreating them not to allude to anything she might have said in her first; which she said was written in such excitement on discovering the real state of her daughter's affections, that she had hardly known what she had said, and had exaggerated some things, and misunderstood others; all that she did know now was, that Mr.
Gibson returned to Hollingford, he found an accumulation of business waiting for him, and he was much inclined to complain of the consequences of the two days' comparative holiday, which had resulted in over-work for the week to come.
