It is not to be thought, however, that the behaviour of the School House was exemplary. Mansell usually kicked up an almighty row, but he left "Nellie" alone. He was not going to lower himself to the Hazlitt level. It is an amazing thing that the half-blood very rarely gets into a row; and yet he always talks as if expulsion hung over his head. Probably he thinks it draws attention to himself.
And, at a safe interval, she mentioned the probability that Beauchastel might be settled on Isabel, if she should marry so as to please Mr. Mansell: he cared for connexion more than for wealth; if he had a weakness, it was for rank. Mrs. Ponsonby thought it fair that the Earl should be aware of these facts. He smiled ironically.
I am sure you and I shall understand each other. 'That we shall, replied Isabel, warmly. 'I have given her no promise. Dear Mr. Mansell, I have wished all along that you should know that I am engaged, with her full consent, to Mr. Frost Dynevor. 'To the little black tutor! cried Mr. Mansell, recoiling, but recollecting himself.
You had better go and find Mr Douglas, and ask him if he knows anything about it." Mr Douglas was the mathematical master, to whom all marks were sent. He added them up, and made out the orders. After an unnecessarily long interval Mansell returned. "I am sorry, sir; Mr Douglas has not seen them." "Well, I suppose it must be all my fault.
Gordon was confirmed this term. He was rather young; but it was obviously the thing to do, and, as Mansell said: "It's best to take the oath when you are more or less 'pi, and there is still some chance of remaining so. You can't tell what you will be like in a year or so." As is the case with most boys, Confirmation had very little effect on Gordon.
The county was so new a one that but three men had occupied the sheriff's office before Charley Mansell was elected.
And so Gordon and Mansell were able to discuss football the whole of evening hall, never do a stroke of work, and yet get quite a respectable half-term report. The interest in the Thirds was now becoming intense. As was expected, Buller's easily beat all the outhouses, with Claremont's house as runners-up.
"The Bull" would not give him a chance. And he had learnt from Mansell and Tester that "the Bull" could only see one point of view at a time. And yet he was filled with an immense admiration for this man who thought only of Fernhurst, who had worked for Fernhurst all his life, who made Fernhurst's interests the standard for every judgment and action.
He had also read it rather badly, having a cold in his head. "You seem to have rather a large class, Meredith," he said sarcastically. "Yes; like our good Lord, I have beaten the by-ways and the hedges, and I am almost afraid I shall also have to beat Mansell. He has singularly failed to appreciate the full meaning of that passage about 'humility." Clarke saw he was beaten, and turned away.
Mansell wrote to offer to be godfather, and I thought I could not do otherwise than ask him to stay here. I am glad I did so, for he told me that now he has seen for himself the noble way they are going on in, he has made up his mind. He has no relation nearer than Isabel, and he means to make his will in favour of her son.
