It was true that till the appeal was decided Meynell remained formally Rector of Upcote Minor. The church and the parish were still in his hands; and the Bishop pointedly made no reference to either. But a very few weeks now would see Meynell's successor installed, and the parish reduced to order.
That will in a special paragraph committed Hester Fox-Wilton to Richard Meynell's guardianship in remarkable terms; no provision whatever was made for the girl under Sir Ralph's will, and it is notorious that he treated her quite differently from his other children. From the moment also of the French journey, Sir Ralph's character and temper appeared to change.
Finally I decided you might blame me if I did not. You may not be aware of the letter to my sister-in-law?" Meynell's start was evident. "To Mrs. Elsmere?" "She brought it to us on Friday, before the party. It was, I think, identical with this letter" he pointed to the Dawes envelope "except for a few references to the part Mrs.
Mary had put into his hands a letter addressed to the Rev. Richard Meynell, Hotel Richelieu, Paris. And beside her on the table lay a couple of sheets of foreign notepaper, covered closely with Meynell's not very legible handwriting. Catharine also had some open letters on her lap. Presently she turned to Mary. "The Bishop thinks the trial will certainly end tomorrow."
"A little persecution!" he said, rubbing his hands, as he looked up "and how it would go!" "Well the persecution begins this week in the Court of Arches." "Persecution nonsense! You mean 'propaganda.

A puzzled look passed again over Meynell's face. But he said nothing. His attitude, coldly expectant, demanded the story. Barron told it once more. He repeated Judith Sabin's narrative in the straightened, rearranged form he had now given to it, postponing, however, any further mention of Meynell's relation to it till a last dramatic moment. He did not find his task so easy on this occasion.
Lady Waring was astonished, indeed alarmed at the calmness with which Kate appeared to receive the news of the consummation of Henry Meynell's treacherous desertion. For an hour or two she seemed depressed and absent, but afterwards set about the usual pursuits of the day without any apparent change of manner.
The business is still carried on and a very old business it is, for it was an old business in Meynell's time; but Meynell died before I married, and his name is pretty well forgotten in Aldersgate-street by this time." "Had he no sons?" I asked. "Well, yes; he had one son, Samuel, a kind of companion of mine.
Certain singers who seem not to have been affected by the philosophical argument for reminiscence have concurred in Alice Meynell's last statement, and have felt that the mysterious power which is impressing itself in their verse is the genius of dead poets, mysteriously finding expression in their disciple's song.
It was the first time in Meynell's strenuous life, filled to the brim with intellectual and speculative effort on the one hand, and with the care of his parish on the other, that he had been conscious of any such feeling as now possessed him. In his first manhood it had been impossible for him to marry, because he had his brothers to educate.
