Late in the afternoon a report reached the ladies of a furious contest going on over Dollikins. Mr. Algy Borolick was the first to give them intelligence of it, and he declared that Beauchamp had wrested Dollikins from Grancey Lespel. This was contradicted subsequently by Mr. Stukely Culbrett. 'But there's heavy pulling between them, he said.
The man's name might be Dollikins and not Tomlinson, and if so, it was Dollikins who would not see Beauchamp. To preserve his political importance, Palmet said, 'Dollikins! to be sure, that was the man. 'Treats him as he does you, Mr. Lespel turned to Ferbrass. 'I've sent to Dollikins to come to me this morning, if he's not driving into the town. I'll have him before Beauchamp sees him.
'A fluid borough, I'm afraid. Colonel Halkettt interposed: 'But Ferbrass is quite sure of his district. Cecilia wished to know who the man was, of the mediaevally sounding name. 'Ferbrass is an old lawyer, my dear. He comes of five generations of lawyers, and he 's as old in the county as Grancey Lespel.
Lespel winced a little, and told him not to put his trust in that. 'Turned Tory? said Palmet. Mr. Lespel declined to answer. Palmet said to Mrs. Devereux, 'He thinks I'm not worth speaking to upon politics. Now I'll give him some Beauchamp; I learned lots yesterday. 'Then let it be in Captain Beauchamp's manner, said she softly.
Grancey Lespel on account of the Itchincope encroachments, he left a sting that spread the rumour of his having become not only a black torch of Radicalism our modern provincial estateholders and their wives bestow that reputation lightly but a gentleman with the polish scratched off him in parts.
She dwelt fondly on an image of the 'gallant and handsome Colonel Richard Beauchamp, conjured up in her mind from the fervour of Mrs. Lespel when speaking of Nevil's father, whose chivalry threw a light on the son's, and whose errors, condoned by time, and with a certain brilliancy playing above them, interceded strangely on behalf of Nevil.
Lespel; and, resuming her worldly sagacity, 'I should not like to be in opposition to that young man. She seemed to have a fancy unexpressed regarding Mr. Tuckham.
'But do you tell me, said Mr. Lespel, when the shouts of the gentlemen were subsiding, 'do you tell me that young Beauchamp is going ahead? 'That he is. They flock to him in the street. 'He stands there, then, and jingles a money-bag. Palmet resumed his mimicry of Beauchamp: 'Not a stiver; purity of election is the first condition of instruction to the people! Principles!
As for Nevil Beauchamp, in particular, his case, this penetrating lady said, was clear: he ought to be married. 'Could you make a sacrifice? she asked Cecilia playfully. 'Nevil Beauchamp and I are old friends, but we have agreed that we are deadly political enemies, Miss Halkett replied. 'It is not so bad for a beginning, said Mrs. Lespel. 'If one were disposed to martyrdom.
At any rate, he insulted Captain Beauchamp, or thought your hero had insulted him, and the duel was with one or the other. It matters exceedingly little with whom, if a duel was fought, and you see we have quite established that. 'I hope it is not true, said Cecilia. 'My dear, that is the Christian thing to do, said Mrs. Lespel.
