"You shall take them down in the carriage, and their luggage can follow in a cab; but the carriage can bring you back. You will see how things are then." "Dear Lady Milborough, you would go out of town at once if I left you." "And I shall not go out of town if you don't leave me. What difference does it make to an old woman like me?
Lady Milborough did mention it, explaining that the only person really in fault was that odious destroyer of the peace of families, Colonel Osborne, of whom Lady Milborough, on that occasion, said some very severe things indeed. Poor dear Mrs. Trevelyan was foolish, obstinate, and self-reliant; but as innocent as the babe unborn.
She felt that she needed the poor consolation of discussing her wretchedness. She first declared that she would not see Lady Milborough. "I hate her, and she knows that I hate her, and she ought not to have thought of coming," said Mrs. Trevelyan.
Goodness, gracious, me; two young people like you and Louis, who thoroughly love each other, and who have got a baby, to think of being separated! Of course it is out of the question." "You cannot suppose, Lady Milborough, that I want to be separated from my husband?" "Of course not. How should it be possible? The very idea is too shocking to be thought of.
Thus it was that Nora found herself established in Eccleston Square. As she took her place in Lady Milborough's drawing-rooms, she remembered well a certain day, now two years ago, when she had first heard of the glories of Monkhams in that very house.

Now in a matter of that kind of course the husband " "Lady Milborough, I must ask you to listen to me. You have listened to Mr. Trevelyan, and I must ask you to listen to me.
Stanbury has behaved so exceedingly well in regard to poor Louis," when Lady Milborough heard this, and heard also that Nora was talking of going to live by herself in lodgings she swore to herself, like a goodly Christian woman, as she was, that such a thing must not be.
Lady Milborough had implored and called to witness all testimonies, profane and sacred, against such a step, had almost gone down on her knees. Go to Naples, why not Naples? Or to the quiet town in the west of France, which was so dull that a wicked roaring lion, fond of cities and gambling, and eating and drinking, could not live in such a place!
She had no other counsellor, at any rate, till Lady Milborough came, and the weight of the battle was too great for her own unaided spirit. The letter had been written late at night, as was shown by the precision of the date, and had been brought to her early in the morning. At first she had determined to say nothing about it to Nora, but she was not strong enough to maintain such a purpose.
Upon this, of course, they spoke to each other. In London they had been well acquainted, each having been an intimate guest at the house of old Lady Milborough.
