But it is very provoking, after supposing matters to be going on smoothly, to find out that you are quite mistaken. 'I told you you were quite mistaken in supposing she cared for you. 'That is just the point I was not mistaken in, said Ladywell warmly. 'She did care for me, and I stood as well with her as any man could stand until this fellow came, whoever he is.
'I would rather you had Mr. Ladywell. 'O, don't name him! 'I wouldn't have Mr. Neigh at any price, nevertheless.
What could Ladywell have to say, as an acquaintance calling upon her for a few minutes, that he was not to hear? Indeed, if it came to that, what right had Ladywell to call upon her at all, even though she were a widow, and to some extent chartered to live in a way which might be considered a trifle free if indulged in by other young women.
Ladywell was unaffectedly glad to meet her; so glad, that Ethelberta wished heartily, for his sake, there could be warm friendship between herself and him, as well as all her lovers, without that insistent courtship-and-marriage question, which sent them all scattering like leaves in a pestilent blast, at enmity with one another.
'No, indeed; we would not. 'No, no; it is not that at all this is really too bad! you must listen just for a moment 'Ladywell, don't betray anybody on our account. 'Whoever the illustrious young lady may be she has seen a great deal of the world, said Mr. Doncastle blandly, 'and puts her experience of the comedy of its emotions, and of its method of showing them, in a very vivid light.
She merely hoped that Ladywell would not hear them talking through the partition. Neigh scarcely said anything as a beginning: she knew his errand perfectly; and unaccountable as it was to her, the strange and unceremonious relationship between them, that had originated in the peculiar conditions of their first close meeting, was continued now as usual.
I met her at Wyndway, you know, where she was visiting with Lady Petherwin. It was some time ago, and I cannot say that I have ever met her since. 'Or before? said Neigh. 'Well no; I never did. 'Ladywell, if I had half your power of going to your imagination for facts, I would be the greatest painter in England.
Nevertheless, I do say and I cannot say more that I am sincerely sorry to have offended you by exceeding my privileges. I will never do so again. 'Don't say privileges. You have none. 'I am sorry that I thought otherwise, and that others will think so too. Ladywell is, at any rate, bent on thinking so. . . . It might have been made known to him in a gentle way but God disposes.
He lingered for a reply, and then impulsively quoted several lines from the periodical he had named, without aid or hesitation. 'Good, is it not? added Ladywell. They assented, but in such an unqualified manner that half as much readiness would have meant more.
'Yes, yes; I remember now. You have parted. The subject is too large for me to know all at once what I think of it, and you must give me time, Kit. Speaking of Ethelberta reminds me of what I have done. I just looked into the Academy this morning I thought I would surprise you by telling you about it. And what do you think I saw?
