Lady Margaretta was very wintry, and apparently very cross. Miss Gresham was dull, tame, and insipid; and the Honourable Miss O'Flaherty, who filled the fourth place, was sulky at finding that she had been invited to take a share in so very lame a performance. But the marriage was made good, and Crosbie bore up against his misfortunes like a man.
Lady Margaretta had found it rather dull work, making a third in Miss Oriel's flirtation with her cousin; the more so as she was quite accustomed to take a principal part herself in all such transactions. She therefore not unwillingly walked on with Mr Oriel.
That man's motives in coming to see you, believe me, are not the purest in the world." "You are far too suspicious, aunt; I am sure you are." "Perhaps I have had cause. At any rate, Margaretta, I have lived longer in, and seen much more of the world than you have, and I ought to have a clearer perception of character. For your own sake, then, try and confide in my judgment."
It took Dick and his party about half an hour to explore thoroughly the interior of the galleon which they discovered was named the Santa Margaretta and satisfy themselves that none of the Spanish crew were lurking below in hiding; and when at length they returned to the upper deck to report, they found that Bascomb and Winter had mustered the surviving Spaniards forward on the fore deck, under a strong guard, while the English had lowered one of the galleon's boats and in her had boarded and captured a small coasting felucca, which they were at that moment towing alongside their bigger prize.
Pray tell the dear bishop and dear Margaretta all this, with my love. You will be happy, I know, to hear that my little Flo is quite well. Believe me to be always your most affectionate niece, There were two other letters, one to her uncle, the dean, and the other to her cousin Frank.
O'Dowd, with a tap of her whip, told the Major to be quiet; and then requested to be presented in form to Mrs. Captain Osborne. "This, my dear," said George with great gravity, "is my very good, kind, and excellent friend, Auralia Margaretta, otherwise called Peggy." "Faith, you're right," interposed the Major.
I mean no sort of offence when I say it, sir, but you really do not know anything whatever about speed. Bless your heart, if you could only have seen my mare Margaretta; there was a beast! there was lightning for you! Trot! Trot is no name for it she flew! How she could whirl a buggy along!
But I have stronger testimony than my own observations." "What is that?" "Why, I heard this morning that he is to be married in a few weeks to Harriet Pomeroy." "Indeed, you must be mistaken, aunt," said Margaretta, suddenly rising to her feet. "I presume not," was the quiet reply. "My information came almost direct." The entrance of visitors now interrupted the conversation.
Margaretta and Alexandrina particularly want you to come, as they say you are so clever at making a houseful of people go off well. If you can give us a week before you go back to manage the affairs of the nation, pray do. Yours very sincerely, The Countess de Courcy was a very old friend of Mr Crosbie's; that is to say, as old friends go in the world in which he had been living.
Near the source of the river Thur, in Wildhaus, a mountain-village of the Toggenburg, lived the bailiff Ulric Zwingli, with his wife Margaretta Meili, in moderate circumstances and universal esteem. Eight sons and two daughters were the fruit of their marriage. The third of these sons, born on the first of January 1484, seven weeks after Luther's birth-day, received the name of his father.
