If I am the man to retire, as I always proposed, and had got Leonard to agree to, before this confounded speech of L'Estrange's, come into parliament you will, for the Low Yellows I can twist round my finger, provided the High Yellows will not interfere; in short, I could transfer to you votes promised to me, but I can't answer for those promised to Leonard.
Fairfield had been so hurt by Lord L'Estrange's severe allusions. Pity that political differences should interfere with private friendships; but I hear that you have been to Mr. Fairfield, and, doubtless, as the peacemaker. Perhaps you met Lord L'Estrange by the way? He promised me that he would apologize and retract." "Good young man!" said the unsuspecting parson, "he has done so." "And Mr.
Then, gazing more intently on the writing, a low cry broke from his lips. He reseated himself, and began to read. Randal with many misgivings at Lord L'Estrange's tone, in which he was at no loss to detect a latent irony proceeded to Norwood.
It is noticeable that, now Peschiera was no longer an object of dread to the nervous father, he became but an object of pity to the philosopher, and of contempt to the grandee. "True," said Randal, "you told me Frank had a share in Lord L'Estrange's very clever and dramatic device. My Lord must be by nature a fine actor, comic, with a touch of melodrame!
Besides, there stood the parish pump, right in face of the booth, and some huge truculent-looking Yellows loitered round it, as if ready to pounce on him the instant he quitted his present sanctuary.
