"It won't be long for me, Lady Milborough; but I cannot but know how terribly I am putting you out." "I am never put out, Miss Rowley," said the old lady, "as long as I am made to think that what I do is taken in good part." "Indeed, indeed it shall be taken in good part," said Nora, "indeed it shall." And she swore a solemn silent vow of friendship for the dear old woman.
And as Lady Milborough took care that Mr. Glascock should take Nora down to dinner, the interest was very great. Mr. Glascock was a good-looking man, just under forty, in Parliament, heir to a peerage, and known to be well off in respect to income. Lady Milborough and Mrs.
Lady Rowley and her eldest daughter were away, closeted at the moment with Lady Milborough, with whom they were endeavouring to arrange some plan by which the boy might at any rate be given back.
"The best for you, my dear, will be to consider well what should be the duty of a wife." "I have considered, Lady Milborough. It cannot be a wife's duty to acknowledge that she has been wrong in such a matter as this." Then Lady Milborough made her curtsey and got herself away in some manner that was sufficiently awkward, and Mrs.
Emily Trevelyan felt acutely that she had been ill-used, not only by her husband's suspicion, but by the manner in which he had talked of his suspicion to others, to Lady Milborough and the cook, and she was quite convinced that she was right herself, because he had been so vacillating in his conduct about Colonel Osborne. But Trevelyan was equally sure that justice was on his side.
Now, a mutton-chop means something definite, and must be economical." "Then we will have the mutton-chops at home," said Nora, "and you shall go to your club for the beef-steak." When they reached Eccleston Square, Nora insisted on taking Hugh Stanbury up to Lady Milborough.
Now, in her difficulty, Lady Rowley went to Lady Milborough, and returned with an invitation that Nora should come to Eccleston Square, either till such time as she might think fit to go to Monkhams, or till Mrs. Trevelyan should have returned, and should be desirous of having her sister with her.
Even Lady Milborough, who objected to Colonel Osborne quite as strongly as did Trevelyan himself, even she blamed him now, telling him that he had done wrong to separate himself from his wife. Mr. Bideawhile, the old family lawyer, was of the same opinion. Trevelyan had spoken to Mr.
Lady Milborough spoke of the former subject with none of Lady Rowley's enthusiasm, but still with an evident partiality for her own rank, which almost aroused Nora to indignant eloquence. Lady Milborough was contented to acknowledge that Nora might be right, seeing that her heart was so firmly fixed; but she was clearly of opinion that Mr. Glascock, being Mr.
Trevelyan, Lady Milborough had received her with open arms, had received even the sister-in-law with arms partly open. Had either of them shown any tendency to regard her as a mother, she would have showered motherly cares upon them. For Lady Milborough was like an old hen, in her capacity for taking many under her wings.
