"I did it all for Justinia, and she never had reason to regret a single thing that I bought. If you'll ask her, she'll tell you so." Lucy did not ask her future sister-in-law, seeing that she had no doubt whatever as to her future mother-in-law's judgement on the articles in question. Only the money! And what could she want with six dozen pocket-handkerchiefs all at once?
Robarts, showing by her countenance how eager she was for true tidings on the subject. "Well, Fanny, you know her ladyship as well as I do. She thinks so very highly of the vicar of Framley, that she does begrudge him to those politicians at Chaldicotes." "But, Justinia, the bishop is to be there, you know."
"And, Fanny," said Lady Lufton, in her kindest manner, "you are not going anywhere on Saturday, are you?" "No, I think not." "Then you must come to us. Justinia is to be here, you know" Lady Meredith was named Justinia "and you and Mr. Robarts had better stay with us till Monday. He can have the little book-room all to himself on Sunday.
And it must be remembered that all these evil things were fully believed by Mrs. Robarts. Could it really be that her husband was going to dwell in the halls of Apollyon, to shelter himself beneath the wings of this very Lucifer? A cloud of sorrow settled upon her face, and then she read the letter again very slowly, not omitting the tell-tale postscript. "Oh, Justinia!" at last she said.
You may go to the Duke of Omnium if that suits you better." "Fanny, come away," said Lady Meredith. "Why should you try to anger my mother?" "I don't want to anger her; but I won't hear him abused in that way without speaking up for him. If I don't defend him, who will? Lady Lufton has said terrible things about him; and they are not true." "Oh, Fanny!" said Justinia.
But we both know how good she is at heart, and Justinia thinks that she had other things to trouble her; and I hope it will all be made up before you come home; only, dearest Mark, pray do not be longer than you said in your last letter." And then there were three or four paragraphs about the babies, and two about the schools, which I may as well omit.
"But she was very angry when she first heard it; was she not?" "Well, Mark, to tell the truth, she was; and we had quite a scene there up in her own room upstairs Justinia and I. She had heard something else that she did not like at the same time; and then but you know her way. She blazed up quite hot." "And said all manner of horrid things about me." "About the duke she did.
Goodness gracious, how provoking!" "Why? I thought you wouldn't mind it. And Justinia would think it unkind if I were not there." "You can go, my dear, and of course will go. But as for me, it is impossible." "But why, love?" "Why? Just now, at the school-house, I answered a letter that was brought to me from Chaldicotes.
And in going to such a house as the Duke of Omnium's it does make a difference that he goes there in company with the bishop. I can't explain why, but I know that it does." "Especially when the bishop is coupled up with the devil, as Mr. Robarts has done," said Lady Lufton; "he can join the duke with them and then they'll stand for the three Graces, won't they, Justinia?"
"I was not angry when I went up to her; not in the least." "It is no good looking back. What are we to do now, Fanny?" "I suppose I had better go home," said Mrs. Robarts. "I will go and put my things up, and then I will send James for them." "Wait till after lunch, and then you will be able to kiss my mother before you leave us." "No, Justinia; I cannot wait. I must answer Mr.
