Then, taking a key from his pocket, he opened the vestry door and entered the building, closing the door behind him. I went to meet Mrs. Panel. "Seen Jaspar?" "I haven't." "What's that feller," she always spoke of Leveson as a 'feller, "doin' in a church?" "It's his church. He built it." "Good Land o' Peter! What's he doin' in it anyway?" "Not praying, I think." "Shush-h-h-h." Mrs.
And now assistance seemed near, for the Reverend Putwood Leveson, having had to lead his bicycle up a hill, and being overcome with a melting tallow of perspiration in the effort, hove in sight like an unwieldy porpoise bobbing up on dry land. Approaching the broken gap in the hedge, he quickly spied the mare, and realised the whole situation.
The Reverend Putwood Leveson, vengefully brooding over the wrongs which he considered he had sustained at the hands of Walden, as well as Julian Adderley, rode to and fro on his bicycle from morn till dewy eye, perspiring profusely, and shedding poisonous slanders almost as freely as he exuded melted tallow from his mountainous flesh, aware that by so doing he was not only ingratiating himself with the Pippitts, but also with Lord Roxmouth, through whose influence he presently hoped to 'get a thing or two. Mordaunt Appleby, the Riversford brewer, and his insignificant spouse, irritated at never having had the chance to 'receive' Lord Roxmouth, were readily pressed into the same service and did their part of scandal-mongering with right good-will and malignant satisfaction.
An hour and a half later Granville entered, pale and sad: 'It's all over. In an instant the thread of that precious life was snapped, We were all in deep and silent grief." And now, for the sake of those who never knew Freddy Leveson, a word of personal description must be added.
The belief of Peel and Goulburn, and, I believe, of the Duke, is that one example would settle all. Lord F. Leveson says that the Brunswickers are encouraged from St. James's to expect that the Relief Bill will be repealed. Many wish for an explosion, the Catholics less than the Protestants. July 19. Hardinge and Wood dined with me.
Leveson drew a long breath of relief, and sneaked backward on his heels. "You you're a nice kind of 'ordained Christian minister' aren't you?" he spluttered "With all your humbug and cant you're no better than a vulgar bully! A vulgar bully! that's what you are! I'll report you to the Bishop see if I don't! brow-beating me, and putting me in bodily fear, all about a woman too!
Sir Morton Pippitt took out a voluminous red handkerchief covered with yellow spots and blew his nose violently therein while the Reverend Mr. Leveson nodded his large head blandly, as one who receives doubtful information with kindly tolerance. Mr. Marius Longford looked faintly amused. "I understand!" said the light of the 'Savile and Savage, slowly; "You seek perfection!"
These were John Granville, created baron Granville of Potheridge, in the county of Devon; Heneage Finch, baron of Guernsey, in the county of Southampton; sir John Leveson Gower, baron Gower of Sittenham, in Yorkshire; and Francis Seymour Conway, youngest son of sir Edward Seymour, made baron Conway of Bagley, in the county of Warwick.
I have advised several, who are going to keep their next earthquake in the country, to take the bark for it, as it is so periodic. Dick Leveson and Mr. Rigby, who had supped and stayed late at Bedford House the other night, knocked at several doors, and in a watchman's voice cried, "Past four o'clock, and a dreadful earthquake!"...
The Irish accounts are very bad. Lord F. Leveson seems now to think very seriously of the state of things. Doherty is come back much alarmed from Barris, where he has been with Blackie on a special commission. July 28. I recommended to the attention of the Chairs the establishment of steam communication with India by the Red Sea. July 29. Read précis relative to Kotah.
