Rhadamanthus shut the book with a bang. "It's not the least use," he said decisively. "It wouldn't be kind to pretend that it was, Lady Mickleham." "Dear, dear," said Dolly. "What's the matter?" "Half the women in London have petitioned against you." "Have they, really?" cried Dolly, to all appearance rather delighted. "What do they say, Mr. Rhadamanthus? Is it in that book? Let me look."
Archie Mickleham may not be a genius, but he's a good fellow and a swell and rich; and he's not a pauper, like Phil Meadows, or a snob like Charlie Dawson, or shall I go on, Mr. Carter? No, I won't. I didn't see what it was." "Yes, you shall go on." "O, no, I can't," and she folded up the letter. "Then I will," and I'm ashamed to say I snatched the letter. Miss Dolly jumped to her feet.
Isn't it nice to get rid of one's husband sometimes, Mrs. Wiggins?" "I have the misfortune to be a widow, Lady Mickleham," said Mrs. Wiggins. Dolly's eyes rested upon her with an interesting expression. I knew that she was about to ask Mrs. Wiggins whether she liked the condition of life, and I interposed hastily, with a sigh: "But you can look back on a happy marriage, Mrs. Wiggins?"
Nor, I suppose, about Sylvia Fenton, or that little Delancy girl, or handsome Miss what was her name?" "Hold your tongue and tell me what you mean." "Lady Mickleham," said I gravely, "if your husband has not thought fit to mention these ladies and others whom I could name to you, how could I presume ?" "Do you mean to tell me that Archie ?" "He'd only known you three years, you see."
At or near Mickleham, by the way, the writer might have commanded a distant view of the burning City. On a fine, clear day we have often discerned the dome of St. Paul's from one of the hills rising from Mickleham to Norbury Park. Evelyn, speaking of this night, says, that it was "light as day for about ten miles round about, after a dreadful manner." Memoirs, vol. i. p. 391. second edit 4to.
"You've had none there for ten years," cried Lady Mickleham. "I did not mean my forehead," said I. Sighing once again, I held out my hand to Dolly. "Are you doing anything this evening?" she asked. "That depends on what I'm asked to do," said I cautiously. "Well, Archie's going to be at the House, and I thought you might take me to the Phaetons' party.
When she was standing close by him, she put her hand lightly on his arm and said: "Please do, Mr. Rhadamanthus." "It's as much as my place is worth," he grumbled. Dolly's eyes shone still, but the faintest little smile began to play about her mouth. When you're old because you are not really old now you will say, 'I'm glad I didn't send poor Dolly Mickleham away crying."
'My dearest Dorothea " "Who?" "Dorothea's my name, Mr. Carter. It means the gift of heaven, you know." "'My dearest Dorothea, I have heard the news of your engagement to Lord Mickleham with deep thankfulness. To obtain the love of an honest man is a great prize. I hope you will prove worthy of it. Marriage is a trial and an opportunity " "Hear, hear!" said I. "A trial for the husband and "
The Reform Bill of 1832 was passed, and the Utilitarians hoped that the millennium would at least begin to dawn. Mill in 1830 removed from Queen's Square to Vicarage Place, Kensington. He kept his house at Mickleham, and there took long Sunday walks with a few of his disciples. His strength was more and more absorbed in his official duties.
I felt very nervous. A pause followed. Then the Countess observed and it seemed at first rather irrelevant "I've been reading an unpleasant story." "Contained in a friend's letter," she continued, focusing the "starers" full on my face. I did not know what to do, so I bowed again. "It must have been as painful for her to write as for me to read," Lady Mickleham went on. "And that is saying much.
