The folly of her past is doing its work, as all our follies past and present are pretty sure to do. Late in the afternoon of a September day Sir Victor Catheron, of Catheron Royals, brought home his wife and son. His wife and son! The county stood astounded. And it had been a dead secret. Dreadful! And Inez Catheron was jilted? Shocking! And she was a soap-boiler's daughter? Horrible!
To be sure, she never said why she broke it, but all Old Chester knew she hated meanness, and felt sure that she had given her William the choice of being generous or being jilted and he chose the latter.
Sir John was to have married her, and then something dreadful came out, and he threw her over." "Oh, I thought she jilted him." "I daresay it was one or the other; at all events, there was some fracas or other. I believe her mother was hum, hum you understand she couldn't be swallowed by the Kynastons at any price; they must have been thankful to get out of it."
He was fresh from the wonderful country in which there may between the ingenuous young be so little question of "intentions." He was but dimly conscious of his own and could by no means have told me whether he had been challenged or been jilted.
"Because then he would think it his duty to run," said Esther, "and I don't want to be run away from. Would you like to have the world think you were jilted?" "How you do torture your poor brain!" said Catherine pityingly. "There! Go to bed now! It is long past midnight. To-morrow I will run you off, and you never shall go to church any more." Esther was really in a way to alarm her friends.
Charles I., now on the throne of England, and angry at having been jilted by Spain, also entered into a treaty, and sent British auxiliaries, who, though soon reduced in numbers by sickness, always formed a substantial part of the armies of Gustavus, and in battle and storm earned their full share of the honour of his campaigns.
"I have found sufficient food of all descriptions, sir, to last for a month, at least," said Saunders, in a strained, unnatural voice. "Good! Has Miss Pelham jilted you, Saunders?" He put the question in a jocular way. Its effect on Saunders was startling. His face turned almost purple with confusion. "No, sir, she has not, sir," he stammered. "Beg pardon, Saunders. I didn't mean to offend.
I know I was an awful prig a little while ago, but... but... it's not the same since Doris jilted me, and since Basil died. I see many things differently now. Tell me Lorraine's trouble." "She is so ill, because if she lives until next December she will have a little one. Oh, do you understand, Dudley? She is there all alone, because she made a mess of her life and is obliged to hide.
It is pleasant sometimes to tell the husbands of girls you have loved exactly what you think of them; and I had loved Lucy Latimer. She came, an English rose, to console me for the loss of my French fleur-de-lis, Clothilde. Or was it the other way about? One does get so mixed in these things. At any rate, she did not marry me, her first love, but jilted me most abominably for Latimer.
Didn't I hear a rumour that some woman had jilted Rose thrown him over for a richer man, or something of the sort?" "Well" Barry bit his lip "since you know so much yes." "And possibly this marriage was in the nature of a reprisal? Intended to show the jilting lady that to put it plainly there were still good fish in the sea?" "Yes in a way it was." "Ah!
