It was already July. 'Vy not, my dear? Ve would have our little holiday in Germany at Vienna. I have business there, and know many friends. Then he pressed her hard to fix some day in the next month. It would be expedient that they should be married from the Melmottes' house, and the Melmottes would leave town some time in August. There was truth in this.
'Everybody says that he'll be in gaol before a week is over. That was the information which had reached Lady Carbury about the Melmottes only on the previous evening. 'I want to see him, said Marie. Lady Carbury, hardly knowing what answer to make, was silent for a while. 'I suppose he told you everything; didn't he? You know that we were to have been married?
Miss Melmotte's little attempt had also been communicated in the papers; and Sir Felix, though he was not recognized as being 'real Suffolk' himself, was so far connected with Suffolk by name as to add something to this feeling of reality respecting the Melmottes generally. Suffolk is very old-fashioned. Suffolk, taken as a whole, did not like the Melmotte fashion.
I've no doubt they'll ask us on Tuesday or Wednesday, and if you like we will go. 'I know they are to have guests, said Lady Carbury. 'What guests? 'The Melmottes are coming to them. Lady Carbury, as she made the announcement, felt that her voice and countenance and self-possession were failing her, and that she could not mention the thing as she would any matter that was indifferent to her.
Would it not be better for her to say to them at once that there must be a division among them, an absolute breaking off of all old ties, so that it should be tacitly acknowledged that she, Georgiana, had gone out from among the Longestaffes altogether, and had become one with the Melmottes, Brehgerts, and Goldsheiners?
Sir Felix had already fallen so low that his mother on his behalf would not be justified in declining a connection with the Melmottes because the Melmottes had fallen. To get any niche in the world for him in which he might live with comparative safety would now be to her a heaven-sent comfort. 'My son is upstairs, she said. 'I will go up and speak to him.
'Your father will not hear of it. He dislikes them especially. 'And I dislike the Melmottes. I dislike the Primeros of course, but they are not so bad as the Melmottes. That would be dreadful. 'You must judge for yourself; Georgiana. 'It is that, or staying here? 'I think so, my dear. 'If papa chooses I don't know why I am to mind. It will be awfully disagreeable, absolutely disgusting!
It would have been a matter of course. 'What difference does a house make? 'But the people in a house make a great deal of difference, my dear. I don't want to quarrel with you, my dear; but I can't know the Melmottes. 'Who asks you? 'You are with them. 'Do you mean to say that you can't ask anybody to your house without asking everybody that lives with that person? It's done every day.
'That was before I went to the Melmottes. I am sure you have altered your opinion now. Indeed you have told me so. I am afraid, Mr Carbury, you must go your way, and we must go ours. He looked into her face as she spoke, and gradually began to perceive the working of her mind.
And yet he did not know how to recall them. 'If I have hurt you, I regret it much. 'Of course you have hurt me. I think I will go in now. How very hard the world is! I came here thinking to find peace and sunshine, and there has come a storm at once. 'You asked me about the Melmottes, and I was obliged to speak.
