The situation was becoming very strained. I felt bound to interfere by some banal remarks about the scenery, and finally we arrived back at Ledstone and I got rid of them by conducting them to their rooms. It poured rain again before the sportsmen returned, and they were more or less wet and cross. Antony went straight to his room to change, and so did the two other decent men.
I don't like sweets much, but the boxes are charming. These visits happen twice a year, in June and December, wherever we happen to be. The only young men in this part of the world are the curate and two hobbledehoys, the sons of a person who lives in the place beyond Ledstone, and they are common and uninteresting and parvenu.
Then, in a passion: "I wish to God they would, and take you off, so I could get some one of more use to me!" He was surprised that I did not wish him to kiss me ten minutes after this. And now he has gone, and for six months, at any rate, I shall be free from his companionship. When he returns things shall be started on a different footing. I came down to Ledstone by myself yesterday.
"And you were so good about it! Augustus said he would have shot back if Mr. Dodd had hit him." "Mrs. Dodd would have made a nice target. One does not often come across a person like that. Are all your guests at Ledstone of the same sort as those I met?" "No. Some of them are worse," I replied, gravely, smiling at him. "Next time you shall come to an earlier party. You would enjoy that."
We saw carts and a carriage going to meet them at the station. Their liveries are prune and scarlet, and look so inharmonious, and they seem to have crests and coats of arms on every possible thing. Young Mr. Gurrage is our landlord but I think I said that before. On Sunday in church the party entered the Ledstone family pew.
"What made her come to Ledstone at all, I wonder?" I felt my cheeks getting pink, and bent down to look into the fire. "She wanted to live in England, so that I might become English by growing up there, and and it was cheap. We had been in London before that, and back in Paris, and down at Brighton, and a lot of dull places.
I had no intention of doing more than to make a bow, but he thrust his hand out so that I could not help it. "You'll find your way up to Ledstone, anyway, won't you?" he said, with a sort of affectionate look. Grandmamma found him insupportable, she told me when he was gone. She even preferred the mother.
We came first over to England, and, after long wanderings backward and forward, took this little furnished place at the corner of Ledstone Park. It is just a cottage once a keeper's, I believe and we have only Hephzibah and a wretched servant-girl to wait on us.
She has a vast knowledge of books, and has even read all the French classics that grandmamma loved. We talked of many things, and, among them, gardens. She told me that I must make a new garden at Ledstone, and I would find it an immense interest; and she spoke so kindly of Mrs.
While on a visit at Ledstone Hall, in Yorkshire, they received great blessing under the preaching of Benjamin Ingham, a well-known member of the Holy Club, whom in 1741 Lady Margaret married. They both received the truth as it is in Jesus, and were led by the influence of the Holy Spirit to labour and pray for the salvation of their relatives and friends.
