Rachel was growing into daughterhood, and though Lois Henry would have denied the slightest suggestion of matchmaking, she saw with no disfavor that Rachel was much drawn toward Andrew. When spring opened grandmother failed rapidly and took to her bed a great part of the time, so that it was necessary to bring her downstairs for convenience' sake.
"He's gone to Ostend, I suppose." Lady Mary nodded. "So foolish!" she declared. "He hasn't a shilling in the world, and he never wins anything. He might just as well have come down here and made himself agreeable to Lois." "Matchmaking again?" Rochester asked. She shook her head. "What nonsense! Charlie is one of my favorite young men. I am not at all sure that I could spare him, even to Lois.
"Oh, I'll come, I'll come," returned the Major, hurrying up the steps, and adding as he entered the dining room, "My child, if you'd only take a fancy to Champe, I'd be the happiest man on earth." "Now I shan't allow any matchmaking on Sunday," said Betty, warningly, as she prepared Mrs. Lightfoot's breakfast. "Sit down and carve the chicken while I run upstairs with this."
"I charge myself with all that," interrupted the Marquise. "What a mania you have for marrying people!" "Women who do not make love, cousin, always have a mania for matchmaking."

I pressed her hand again. "Besides, Monsieur Delaroche was not there. He was not even invited; so you see how far they were from laying matchmaking plots, and how groundless were all your fears and reproaches!" Monsieur Delaroche! Could this be the Delaroche of my special aversion? I pressed her hand again, more closely, more tenderly, and listened for what might come next.
For my part, I am quite upset by the news, but shall not commit myself till I've seen Jessie and the boy. Jane, clear away, and bring me the hot water." That ended the morning conference. And, leaving the old lady to soothe her mind by polishing spoons and washing cups, Rose went away to find Phebe while the doctor retired to laugh over the downfall of brother Mac's matchmaking schemes.
"They say old maids have a mania for matchmaking, and though I don't feel that weakness in myself as yet, I know a little person who is very unhappy with her father. She is a relation of yours, Princess Mary Bolkonskaya."
Treherne will drive over from Morwen vicarage, for Mary's matchmaking in that direction panned out exactly as she wished. All is well with us, pleasant and peaceful, and homelike, and yet I look at a miniature that lies on the table before me, and my mind drifts back to the unforgettable past.
Now he felt that she cared for him, and in his honest fashion offered to make her his beloved wife; but she refused his suit, at first kindly, then angrily. As he still persisted she begged the housekeeper, though she saw that matchmaking was her delight, to keep him away. Even in March Frau Sophia thanked Lienhard for the new inmate of her household, who far exceeded her expectations.
