Lord and Lady Holmhurst made much of her, and all the rest of the first-class passengers followed suit, and soon she found herself the most popular character on board. The two copies of her book that there were on the ship were passed on from hand to hand till they would hardly hang together, and, really, at last she got quite tired of hearing of her own creations.
Lady Holmhurst began to laugh; and as for the learned Doctor, anything more absurd than he looked, intrenched as he was behind his office chair, with perplexity written on his face, it would be impossible to imagine. "Well," he said at length, "I suppose that I must come to a decision. It is a painful matter, very, to a person of modest temperament.
For the first time since her husband's unfortunate death, Lady Holmhurst seemed to have entirely recovered her spirits and was her old self, and a very charming self it was, so charming, indeed, that even James forgot his learning and the responsibilities of his noble profession and talked, like an ordinary Christian.
"Suppose, my dear," answered the great lady, laying her little hand upon Augusta's beautiful hair, "that you were to drop the 'Lady Holmhurst' and call me 'Bessie? it sounds so much more sociable, you know, and, besides; it is shorter, and does not waste so much breath."
By-the-way, it is understood that you come to stay with us for a few months at Government House, before you hunt up your cousin." "You are very good to me, Lady Holmhurst," said Augusta, with something like a sob.
Indeed, as to one point, that of the approximate date of the execution of the tattooing, it is to my mind final.

"Oh, I looked it out, and then I walked here last night and saw you both sitting at the window." "Indeed!" said Lady Holmhurst. "And why did you not come in? You might have helped to protect Miss Smithers from the reporters." "I don't know," he answered confusedly. "I did not like to; and, besides, a policeman thought I was a suspicious character and told me to move on." "Dear me, Mr.
"Well, upon my word!" said Lady Holmhurst, when she had listened with tears in her eyes to the history of poor little Jeannie's death, "upon my word, of all the brutes I ever heard of, I think that this publisher of yours is the worst! I will cut him, and get my husband to cut him too. But no, I have a better plan than that.
The remaining boats, with the exception of the one in which Lady Holmhurst was, and which had been got away before the rush began, were never lowered at all, or sank as soon as lowered. It was impossible to lower them owing to the mad behaviour of the panic-stricken crowds, who fought like wild beasts for a place in them.
"Let me introduce you to Lady Holmhurst. Mr. Meeson, Lady Holmhurst." Eustace bowed, and put his hat down on the butter-dish, for he was very much overcome. "I hope that I have not come too early," he said in great confusion, as he perceived his mistake. "I thought that you would have done breakfast." "Oh, not at all Mr. Meeson," said Lady Holmhurst.
