Vaudemont had scarcely, however, spoken ten words, when some other guests were announced, and Lord Lilburne was wheeled in upon his sofa shortly afterwards. Vaudemont continued, however, seated next to Camilla, and the embarrassment he had at first felt disappeared.
I have plenty to do in town, and Mrs. Beaufort and Camilla can come back without waiting for me." "Why, as your cook is ill, and they can't dine at a club, you may as well leave them here till I am a little better; not that I care, for I can hire a better nurse than either of them." "My dear Lilburne, don't talk of hiring nurses; certainly, I am too happy if they can be of comfort to you."
Among these are Bradshaw, Cromwell, Ireton, Marten, General Hammond, Ludlow, Lord Grey of Groby, Sir John Danvers, Pride, Purefoy, Hewson, Hutchinson, Robert Lilburne, Okey, Sir Hardress Waller, Whalley, Harrison, Sir M. Livesy, and Thomas Scott.
"Where are you going?" "I shall consult Mr. Blackwell, and I'll let you know." And Beaufort walked tremulously back to his carriage. "Go to his lawyer!" growled Lilburne. "Yes, if his lawyer can help him to defraud men lawfully, he'll defraud them fast enough. That will be the respectable way of doing it! Um!
"You may see, if you like; but you take aim, Lord Lilburne; that would be of no use in English duelling. Permit me." He walked to the glove, and tore from it one of the fingers, which he fastened separately to the tree, took the pistol from Dykeman as he walked past him, gained the spot whence to fire, turned at once round, without apparent aim, and the finger fell to the ground.
With this idea he sallied out, meaning to consult Liancourt, who, having a large acquaintance among the English, seemed the best person to advise him as to the choice of a lawyer at once active and honest, when he suddenly chanced upon that gentleman himself. "This is lucky, my dear Liancourt. I was just going to your lodgings." "And I was coming to yours to know if you dine with Lord Lilburne.
The grasp of Lilburne on Fanny's arm relaxed, and the girl, with one bound, sprung to Philip's breast. "Here, here!" she cried, "take it take it!" and she thrust the paper into his hand. "Don't let them have it read it see it never mind me!" But Philip, though his hand unconsciously closed on the precious document, did mind Fanny; and in that moment her cause was the only one in the world to him.
He had outlived Lord Lilburne's short liking; for since he had resolved no longer to keep watch on that noble gamester's method of play, he played but little himself; and Lord Lilburne saw that he had no chance of ruining him there was, therefore, no longer any reason to like him.
Sharp had only just ensconced himself in the porter's chair when the stranger knocked at the door in another moment he was shown in to Lord Lilburne. "Sir," said his lordship, without rising, "be so good as to take a chair. Mr. Beaufort is obliged to leave town he has asked me to see you I am one of his family his wife is my sister you may be as frank with me as with him, more so, perhaps."
He never wrestled against a law, though he slipped through all laws! And he knew no remorse, for he knew no fear. Lord Lilburne had married early, and long survived, a lady of fortune, the daughter of the then Premier the best match, in fact, of his day.
