"There's a great deal in it, particular when you're young. There's a great deal in it." When the engagement of the Marquis of Walderhurst had been announced, to the consternation of many, Lady Maria had been in her element. She was really fine at times in her attitude towards the indiscreetly or tactlessly inquiring. Her management of Lady Malfry in particular had been a delightful thing.
On hearing of her niece's engagement, Lady Malfry had naturally awakened to a proper and well-behaved if belated interest in her. She did not fling herself upon her breast after the manner of worldly aunts in ancient comedies in which Cinderella attains fortune.
As I considered this local habitation of an "airy nothing," I called to mind the fine description of an echo in Webster's Duchess of Malfry: "Yond side o' th' river lies a wall, Piece of a cloister, which, in my opinion, Gives the best echo that you ever heard: So plain in the distinction of our words, That many have supposed it a spirit That answers."
Jane Cupp took "Modern Society," and now and then had the pleasure of reading aloud to her young man little incidents concerning some castle or manor in which Miss Fox-Seton's aunt, Lady Malfry, was staying with earls and special favorites of the Prince's.
Its expression was chiefly, perhaps, a matter of inclusion and exclusion, and may also have been largely telepathic; but after it was over, Lady Maria chuckled several times softly to herself, like an elderly bird of much humour, and Lady Malfry went home feeling exceedingly cross.
It would not be possible for her to be otherwise. Lady Maria Bayne has taken her up." "She is Walderhurst's cousin. Well, well! It will be an immense position for the girl." "Immense," granted Lady Malfry, with a little flush. A certain tone in her voice conveyed that discussion was terminated.
