Mr. Barron echoed the laugh, stiffly. "I doubt whether your husband will wish to bring him here. He gathers some strange company at the Abbey. He is there now for the fishing." Manvers inquired who this gentleman might be; and Mrs. Flaxman gave him a lightly touched account.
I am an admirer of Newton's paintings." "Oh! so am I. He is certainly a cleverish fellow, but rather too much among the blues; a set, of whom, I would venture to say, Miss Manvers knoweth little about." "Oh, not the least! Mamma does not visit that way. What are they?"
