I to my Lord Treasurer's by appointment of Sir Thomas Ingram's, to meet the Goldsmiths; where I met with the great news at last newly come, brought by Bab. Coventry are all well: which did put me into such joy, that I forgot almost all other thoughts.
James Ingram's father had erred in judgment, and a large estate, partially inherited, had been swept away as by a flood. He died, leaving James the eldest son to aid in supporting his mother and several children. James Ingram was now over fifty years of age. Could he, or his children, retrieve their family prestige was a question he often asked himself.
But as matters really stood, to watch Miss Ingram's efforts at fascinating Mr.
"He is always out of the way when he's wanted." To this Fanny said nothing. Why should she? She was not Mr. Ingram's keeper. And then they all descended, each again with his proper number of Arabs to hurry and embarrass him; and they found Mr. Damer at the bottom, like a piece of sugar covered with flies.
Or perhaps a retired gentleman, ah, I see Catherine and Mabel coming back. Which was Mr. Meadowsweet's regiment?" Poor Mr. Ingram's face grew absolutely pink.

I am sure she was not, or he would have heard of it in plain terms, have seen her eyes grow hard, and her mouth stretch to bleakness. She was capable of royal, cold rage when she was offended. But that he hated Ingram must have been plain to her.
Consequently she lived through these exciting days in comparative calm. Soon the great tension would be over. Soon her gravest alarms would be lulled to rest, Now and then she wondered that Beatrice was not oftener at the Manor. Now and then she exclaimed with some vexation at Mr. Ingram's extraordinary absence from home at such a time.
She admitted the facts without comment, and accepted the consequences without a falter. They might have whelmed a greater heart than hers; turned on to the town as she was to all intent, at two-and-twenty, a girl with the face and figure of a goddess, with fifty pounds between her and the devil. They might have sent her, at the least, weeping and trembling into Ingram's arms. But they did not.
