'How far, I forget, he said, carelessly laying his newspaper on the table, 'did you yesterday guess Dudley to be? 'Eleven hundred miles I thought it was. 'Oh yes, so it was; and then there was an abstracted pause. 'I have been writing to Lord Ilbury, your trustee, he resumed. I assented. What could I say? 'I said you had enjoyed our poor way of living here our rough ways and liberty.
He lost his brother only about five months since, and is only beginning to recover his spirits a little. They were very much attached, and people thought that he would have succeeded to the title, had he lived, because Ilbury is difficile or a philosopher or a Saint Kevin; and, in fact, has begun to be treated as a premature old bachelor. 'What a charming person his sister, Lady Mary, is.
"Lady Mary and Ilbury will be leaving me on Tuesday morning. I can come to you in the afternoon, if you think Tuesday a good day." "Thank you, dear Monica. I shall be, I trust, enlightened by that day as to my enemies' plans. It is a humiliating confession, Monica, but I am past feeling that.
Of course, a young lady of a well-regulated mind cannot possibly care a pin about any one of the opposite sex until she is well assured that he is beginning, at least, to like her better than all the world beside; but I could not deny to myself that I was rather anxious to know more about Lord Ilbury than I actually did know.
'I, Austin Alymer Ruthyn Ruthyn, being, I thank God, of sound mind and perfect recollection, &c, &c.; and then came a bequest of all his estates real, chattels real, copyrights, leases, chattels, money, rights, interests, reversions, powers, plate, pictures, and estates and possessions whatsoever, to four persons Lord Ilbury, Mr.
I've the greatest respect for nonsense, I owe it so much; and I really think if nonsense were banished, the earth would grow insupportable. 'Thank you, Lord Ilbury, said Milly, who had grown quite easy in his company during our long visit at Elverston; 'and I tell you, Miss Maud, if you grow saucy, I'll accept your present, and what will you say then?
I could have boxed my odious ears. I could almost have jumped from the window. I felt that Lord Ilbury saw it. I saw Lady Mary's eyes for a moment resting gravely on my tell-tale my lying cheeks for I really had begun to think much less celestially of Captain Oakley.
'Well, I heard her once or twice call him "dear," and she called him his Christian name, just like Lady Knollys did Ilbury, I think and I saw him gi' her a sly kiss as she was going up-stairs. I laughed. 'Well, Milly, I said, 'I remarked something myself, I thought, like confidential relations; but if you really saw them kiss on the staircase, the question is pretty well settled. 'Ay, lass.
The night before our departure she sat with us in our room, chatting a little farewell gossip. 'And what do you think of Ilbury? she asked. 'I think him clever and accomplished, and amusing; but he sometimes appears to me very melancholy that is, for a few minutes together and then, I fancy, with an effort, re-engages in our conversation. 'Yes, poor Ilbury!
But these slips don't occur with clever men in other things; and some persons have a way of always making them in their own favour. And, to talk of other things, I suspect that you and Milly will probably see Ilbury at Bartram; for I think he likes you very much. You; did she mean both, or only me? So our pleasant visit was over.
