Arnold narrates the following anecdote: "A distinguished South Carolina lady one of the Howards the widow of a Northern scholar, called upon him out of curiosity. She was very proud and aristocratic, and was curious to see a man who had been represented to her as a monster, a mixture of the ape and the tiger. She was shown into the room where were Mr.
He showed what, indeed, the Whigs themselves knew uncommonly well that from John, Earl Gower, who died in 1754, descend all the Gowers, Levesons, Howards, Cavendishes, Grosvenors, Harcourts, and Russells, who walk on the face of the earth. Truly a noble and a highly favoured progeny. "They are our superiors," said Thackeray; "and that's the fact.
He showed what, indeed, the Whigs themselves knew uncommonly well that from a certain Earl Gower, who flourished in the eighteenth century, and was great-great-great-grandfather of the present Duke of Sutherland, are descended all the Levesons, Gowers, Howards, Cavendishes, Grosvenors, Russells, and Harcourts, who walk on the face of the earth. Truly a noble and a highly favoured progeny.
Here were Stanleys, Howards, Percys, Villierses, Butlers, Osbornes soft slips of girls bearing the names of England's rough and turbulent youth, bearing themselves to-night with a shy or laughing dignity, as though the touch of history and romance were on them.
Once more, and for the last time, I now ask you, will you comply with Lord Hertford's wish? Will you marry Lady Margaret, and accompany me with Thomas Seymour to the altar?"

In theory there should be no more damage done at Howards End; in practice there will be. Things may be done for which no money can compensate. For instance, I shouldn't want that fine wych-elm spoilt. It hangs Margaret, we must go and see the old place some time. It's pretty in its way. We'll motor down and have lunch with Charles." "I should enjoy that," said Margaret bravely.
When they were out of the chauffeur's sight he put his arm round her waist and pressed her against him. All his affection and half his attention it was what he granted her throughout their happy married life. "But you haven't listened, Charles." "What's wrong?" "I keep on telling you Howards End. Miss Schlegel's got it." "Got what?" said Charles, unclasping her.
If you have the courage, publicly and in spite of the disgrace with which King Henry threatens the Howards, to be nevertheless just to them, and to recognize their merits as well as that of others believe me, if you do that, the whole of this powerful party, which is now hostile to you, will fall at your feet overcome and conquered.
Can human nature be constructed on lines so insignificant? The blundering little encounter at Howards End was vital. It propagated itself where graver intercourse lay barren; it was stronger than sisterly intimacy, stronger than reason or books. In one of her moods Helen had confessed that she still "enjoyed" it in a certain sense. Paul had faded, but the magic of his caress endured.
They're going to be lifelong friends." "Starting at the ages of six and one?" "Of course. It will be a great thing for Tom." "It may be a greater thing for baby." Fourteen months had passed, but Margaret still stopped at Howards End. No better plan had occurred to her. The meadow was being recut, the great red poppies were reopening in the garden.
