Pray' turning to Lord Martindale 'can you tell me which is the best shop to go to for agricultural implements? Speed the plough! Farming is a happy sedative for English noblemen of the nineteenth century, thought Theodora, as she heard them discussing subsoil and rocks, and thought of the poet turned high farmer, and forgetting even love and embarrassment!
Not one of them has, except my father. 'I thought she would have liked to have heard of baby, said Violet, in a tone of disappointment; 'but if there is anything on her spirits, perhaps she cannot think about him. I wonder what it can be. It cannot be any any 'Any love affair! No! no! Miss Martindale may break hearts enough, but she will take care of her own, if she has one.
But Scottie seemed utterly oblivious of the fact that he sat in the same room with the murderer. "Well, he got it," said Scottie. "And he didn't get it from behind. Seems there was a young gent in Martindale all you boys know old Jasper Lanning?" There was an answering chorus. "Well, he's got a nephew, Andrew Lanning. This kid was sort of a bashful kind, they say.
My father wrote that he regretted Theodora's having been left to one so little capable of controlling her. 'Lord Martindale is a very good man, but he has no more discrimination of character than my old cat! cried Percy. 'I beg your pardon, John, but the fact was patent. Mrs. Martindale is the only person who has ever been a match for Theodora.
Here's sister Jane for a duenna, and I always find squires wherever I go. Lord Martindale sat at home much annoyed, and preparing a lecture for his wilful daughter on her return. Sooth to say, Theodora did not find any great reward in her expedition. The sight was a painful one; and her high principles had doubts whether it was a legitimate subject for encouragement.
"Nay, nay," said Lance, "I trust to be back to bonny Martindale before it is long, and to keep the greenwood, as I have been wont to do; for, as to Dame Debbitch, when they have not me for their common butt, Naunt and she will soon bend bows on each other. So here comes old Dame Ellesmere with your breakfast.
Martindale sprang to the door, where a strip of red petticoat showed that his wife was indeed caught, and went out into the passage, speaking in a soothing tone, and leading her away. "I fink I'll go," whispered The Seraph. "Don't be silly," I assured him, "the cobbler will take care she don't hurt us." "She's a character, isn't she?" said Angel, borrowing a phrase from Mary Ellen.
'This girl has simplicity and gentleness at least, poor thing, continued Lord Martindale; 'and I am quite of your opinion, John, that marriage has improved him greatly. I never saw him so free from nonsense. Strangely as it has come about, this may be the making of him. I only wish I could see her and the poor child looking stronger. I will send your sister, by all means.
Are you intimate with him? Violet explained the extent of their acquaintance. 'I do not see my way through it, said Lord Martindale. 'I wish I could be clear that it is not all coquetry. I wish John was at home. 'I do not think, said Violet, gathering courage 'I do not think you know how much Theodora wishes to be good.
In all his haste, Lord Martindale paused till he could lay his little shivering ice-cold charge in the bed, and see him hide his head in his mother's bosom. 'Good boy! he said, 'I told him not to cry for you, and he has not made a sound, though I have felt him trembling the whole way. Take care of him.
