"I know that when WE were in London," some pleasant, interested voice would interpose, modestly, "our friends Lord and Lady Merridew, they were, you know, and Sir Henry Phillpots they were in mourning, and THEY didn't. But of course I don't know what other people, not nobility, that is, might do!" And of course this crushing conclusion admitted of no answer.
Bruff's house? and where was she living now? She was living under the care of a widowed sister of the late Sir John Verinder one Mrs. Merridew whom her mother's executors had requested to act as guardian, and who had accepted the proposal. They were reported to me as getting on together admirably well, and as being now established, for the season, in Mrs. Merridew's house in Portland Place.
His forceful stroke never wavered. The head of his club struck the ball, despatching it a good two hundred yards down the middle of the fairway. As we left the tee I saw Amelia Merridew being led away with bowed head by two members of the Greens Committee. Poor girl! My heart bled for her.
Merridew, his sense of humor immensely tickled at the sound of this fine word, that rolled off with such an assumption of dignity from those rosy young lips, burst into a great laugh. Yet then and there he said to himself, "That Jackanapes of a boy, to fill her head with this treasonable stuff!
Is it not a profitable commentary on the mistakes people make in the handling of their own lives? Sir Coupland Merridew was not actuated by the contemptible motive Aunt Constance had ascribed to him. Moreover, the straw Mr. Pellew caught at was an actual straw, though it may have had no buoyancy to save a swimmer.
Miss Verinder followed me out into the corridor. "They seem to be in a conspiracy to persecute you," she said. "What does it mean?" "Only the protest of the world, Miss Verinder on a very small scale against anything that is new." "What are we to do with Mrs. Merridew?" "Tell her the explosion will take place at nine to-morrow morning." "So as to send her to bed?" "Yes so as to send her to bed."
Forthwith there passed around mysterious whisperings as to the cause of Sir Charles' sudden departure. It must have been a whim on Barber Sam's part. At any rate, he issued just then from Casey's restaurant across the way, jaunty and chipper as ever. He saw Sir Charles in the stage and Bill Merridew on the box. He gave a low, significant whistle. Then he crossed the road.
Blake has also written to Sergeant Cuff; and I have sent a line to Miss Verinder. Merridew, if Mrs. Merridew persists in sacrificing herself to the opinion of the world. June 23rd. The vengeance of the opium overtook me again last night. No matter; I must go on with it now till Monday is past and gone. Mr. Blake is not so well again to-day.
I must really apologise to your medical friend. It is only due to him to say that he has managed it beautifully!" So, after vanquishing Betteredge and Mr. Bruff, Ezra Jennings vanquished Mrs. Merridew herself. There is a great deal of undeveloped liberal feeling in the world, after all! At breakfast, Mr.
"So I should judge, madam," retorted the youth, wrathfully; "but perhaps," he went on, "if Miss Merridew will deign to bestow a glance upon this" and the young fellow pulled from his pocket a gold-mounted card and letter case, out of which he took a tablet upon which was written: "Met Miss Sibyl Merridew this morning on the mall.
