Germain, do not forget to remember me to her, also to Madame Erskine. This will be the proper place to mention the compositions of the years 1842-47, about the publication of many of which we have read so much in the above letters. There is no new publication to be recorded in 1842. J. de Caraman. C. Maberly. R. de Konneritz. A. Franchomme.
They told him, and then it became necessary to tell Frank Maberly what he had not known before, that the Vicar had a daughter who had "gone off." "One of the prettiest, sweetest creatures, Mr. Maberly," said the Major, "that you ever saw in your life. None of us, I believe, knew how well we loved her till she was gone." "And a very remarkable character, besides," said the Doctor.
It seemed afterwards, as Frank Maberly told me, that she had an indefinable horror of Charles meeting his father, and of their coming to know one another. She half feared that her husband would appear and carry away her son with him, and even if he did not, the lad was reckless enough as it was, without being known and pointed at through the country as the son of Hawker the bushranger.
It was when he was in this state, being led up and down the garden by the Doctor and Frank Maberly, the former of whom was trying to attract his attention to some of their old favourites, the flowers, that Miss Thornton came to him with the letter which Mary had written from Brighton, immediately after their marriage. It was, on the whole, a great relief for the Vicar.
Acting on the resolution which he had thus formed, M'Intyre sought out Colonel Maberly. When he found him "Colonel," he said, touching his bonnet with a military salute, "you have ordered me to be of the party who are to shoot" here his voice faltered, and it was some seconds before he could add "my comrade, M'Leod."
"I am not quite certain that I know her name," said Maberly; "but I suppose it is the same as her uncle's, Mr. St. Quentin, with whom she lives there, at the Grange, by Old Windsor." I said but little more, and withdrew, by no means dissatisfied with the information I had gained.
Sir Francis Freeling was followed at the Post Office by Colonel Maberly, who certainly was not my friend. I do not know that I deserved to find a friend in my new master, but I think that a man with better judgment would not have formed so low an opinion of me as he did.
My old friend Colonel Maberly had been, some time since, squeezed into, and his place was filled by Mr. Rowland Hill, the originator of the penny post. With him I never had any sympathy, nor he with me. In figures and facts he was most accurate, but I never came across any one who so little understood the ways of men, unless it was his brother Frederic.
The moment Troubridge saw him he set him down in his own mind as a "goer," by which he meant a man who had go, or energy, in him. A man, he thought, who is thrown away as a parson. The Bishop, ringing the bell, began again, "This is my nephew, Mr. Frank Maberly." The sleek servant entered. "My dear Frank, pray give that rat to Sanders, and let him take it away.
Maberly," said he, as he showed him to his room. "I should like to put in my name for a pup." They stood face to face in the bed-room as he said this, and Frank, not answering him, said abruptly: "By Jove! what a splendid man you are! What do you weigh, now?" "Close upon eighteen stone, just now, I should think;" said Tom. "Ah, but you are carrying a little flesh," said Frank.
