The latter expressed regret that Laxley should have fallen under a false charge, and, at the same time, indicated that if Laxley considered himself personally aggrieved, the writer was at his disposal. A messenger had now to be found to convey it to the village-inn.
Harry made his way to join his friend Ferdinand, and furnished him with the latest London news not likely to appear in the papers. Laxley was distant and unamused. From the fact, too, that Harry was known to be the Countess's slave, his presence produced the same effect in the different circles about the grounds, as did that of John Raikes.
Whatsoever the reason that prompted him, he did not respond to Laxley's advances; and Laxley, disregarding him, dealt with Raikes alone. In a tone plainly directed at him, he said: 'Well, Harry, tired of this? The agriculturals are good fun, but I can't stand much of the small cockney. A blackguard who tries to make jokes out of the Scriptures ought to be kicked!
We don't want teachers to be gentlemen, observed Rose. 'This fellow is the reverse, Laxley pronounced, and desired Harry to confirm it; but Harry took a gulp of coffee. 'Oblige me by recollecting that I have called him a friend of mine, said Evan. Rose murmured to him: 'Pray forgive me! I forgot. Laxley hummed something about 'taste. Aunt Bel led from the theme by a lively anecdote.
Jack dallied with the imputation, but denied his guilt. 'No; it wasn't your voice, continued the landlady. 'A parcel of young puppies calling themselves gentlemen! I know him. It's that young Mr. Laxley: and he the nephew of a Bishop, and one of the Honourables! and then the poor gals get the blame. I call it a shame, I do.
You must know, Mr. Harrington, she's very fond of managing; I can see that, though I haven't known her long before she gave up short frocks; and she said to Mr. Laxley, who's going to marry her some day, "She didn't like my lady, the Countess, taking Mr. Harry to herself like that." I can't a-bear to speak his name, but I suppose he's not a bit more selfish than the rest of men. So Mr.
To show how concisely women can narrate when they feel warmer, Polly started off: 'So, you know, Mr. Harrington, Mr. Laxley said he said to Miss Rose, "You have taken her brother, and she has taken yours." And Miss Rose said, "That was her own business, and nobody else's." And Mr. Laxley said, "He was glad she thought it a fair exchange." I heard it all!
'I 'll tell you what, said Laxley, 'I never soil my hands with a blackguard; and a fellow who tries to make fun of Scripture, in my opinion is one. A blackguard do you hear? But, if you'll give me satisfactory proofs that you really are what I have some difficulty in believing the son of a gentleman I 'll meet you when and where you please. 'Fight him, anyhow, said Harry.
Rose had wedded her noble nature to him, and it was as much her spirit as his own that urged him thus to forfeit her, to be worthy of her by assuming unworthiness. There he sat neither conning over his determination nor the cause for it, revolving Rose's words about Laxley, and nothing else.
At any rate the Countess was offensive now. She was positively vulgar, in consequence, to the mind of Miss Carrington, and Miss Carrington was drawn to think of a certain thing Ferdinand Laxley had said he had heard from the mouth of this lady's brother when ale was in him.
