Moncreiff had so much business to do and people to see. I don't know what it all was. She's very mysterious." As a fact, Audrey had had an interview with Mr. Foulger, who, with laudable obedience, had come up to town from Chelmsford in response to a telegram. Miss Ingate was aware of this, but she was not aware of other and more recondite interviews which Audrey had accomplished.
"But surely you believe in the cause?" "Yes." "It's the greatest of all causes." "I'm rather inclined to think it is." "Why not give yourself, then? You are free. I have given myself, my child." "Yes," said Audrey, who resented the appellation of "child." "But, you see, it's your hobby." "My hobby, Mrs. Moncreiff!" exclaimed Rosamund. "Certainly, your hobby," Audrey persisted.
The supporters of the Union movement included almost all the trusted leaders of the Church men like Drs. Candlish, Buchanan, Duff, Fairbairn, Rainy, and Guthrie, Sir Henry Moncreiff, Lord Dalhousie, and Mr.
I didn't want the police coming poking round my house. It would never do, in a little place like Moze. I should never hear the last of it. So I I thought of Flank Hall.

Among the list were two English lords, an Honourable Mrs., a baroness with a Hungarian name, several Teutonic names, and Mrs. Moncreiff.

Now, I'll go upstairs and Aguilar shall lock me in the tank-room and push the key under the door. We are causing you a lot of trouble, Mrs. Moncreiff, but you won't mind. It might have been so much worse." She laughed as she went. "And suppose I meet those police on the way out, what am I to say to them?" asked Miss Ingate when Jane Foley and Aguilar had departed.

In the doorway she turned round: "Mrs. Moncreiff, would you and Miss Ingate like to have my studio while I'm away? I should just love you to. There's a very nice bed over there behind the screen, and a fair sort of couch over here. Do say you will! Do!" "Oh! We will!"

There were always a few of the friends of Sir Henry and Lady Moncreiff present, and we were invited occasionally. There was a substantial hot supper of roasted fowls, game, or lamb, and afterwards a lively, animated conversation on a variety of subjects, without a shade of austerity, though Sir Henry was esteemed an orthodox preacher.
