Ivinghoe stood among the circle at the piano, and enjoyed. He and his sister were not particularly musical, but enough to enjoy those remarkable Underwood voices. After that Maura never promoted musical evenings.
"I have drank," he says, "such Pippin Cyder, as I never met with anywhere, but at Ivinghoe, just under our Chiltern Hills, where their Soil is partly a chalky Loam: It was made by its Owner, a Farmer, and on my Recommendation our Minister went with me to prove it, and gave it his Approbation.
Lord Ivinghoe was there somewhere!" "I thought he was gone." "No, he said the yacht got in too late for the train. Never mind, Sophy, depend upon it she is all right." None of the ladies present felt equally pleased, but in a minute or two more in came a creature, bright, lovely, and flushed, with two starry eyes, gleaming like the blue lights on the ships.
'My dear, I am afraid neither you nor Fly showed your good manners. 'It was only Ivinghoe, mamma, and I'm sure I don't care what he thinks, if he could talk of his father in that way. Isn't it what you call metallical no ironical? 'Indeed, Mysie, I don't wonder it made you very angry, and I can't be sorry you showed your indignation.
Such a springtide wood was joy to all, especially as the first cuckoo of the season came to add to their delights and set them counting for the augury of happy years, which proved so many that Mysie said they would not know what to do with them. 'I should, said Ivinghoe. 'I should like to live to be a great old statesman, as Lord Palmerston did, and have it all my own way.
The party set off, with each little boy hugging a ship in full sail, and the two young sisters were disposed of by a walk to Clipstone to talk over their adventures. Mrs. Grinstead felt certain of the good manners and reticence prevailing there to prevent any banter about Lord Ivinghoe, and she secured the matter further by a hint to Anna.
Her little sister Joan, she added, had asked whether eating the eggs would make her hair curl. "Or stand on end," said Phyllis. "As I am afraid Miss Prescott's is doing till your telegram reaches her. Did you say it was to go from St. Malo?" "Yes. I thought that the safest place to have a comprehensible message copied." "To whom did you say?" asked Lady Ivinghoe.
Poor little Maura, making an excuse to wander about the gardens in the moonlight, saw the golden locks shining through the open windows, and Lord Ivinghoe standing over them, went home, and cried herself to sleep over the fickleness of the nobility, when she had better have cried over her own unjustified romance, excited by a few kindly speeches and a cup of tea. And Emilia!
He would skip like a real grasshopper, he made faces that set all laughing, he tripped Ivinghoe up, he uttered saucy speeches that Mysie considered too shocking to repeat, but which convulsed every one with laughter, Fly most especially, and her governess had punished her for it.
Penbeacon's destiny was one of the affairs that could not be settled, and therewith her own, though her mother could not succeed in penetrating any of the family with the horror of giving Lord Ivinghoe such a brother-in-law. In the midst of the preparations came a letter from Gerald.
