Peter pulled the bell, and coming back, tendered the check rather awkwardly to Miss De Voe. She, however, was looking towards a doorway, which the next moment was darkened by the butler. "Morden," she said, "you may serve luncheon at once." "Luncheon is served, madam," said Morden. Miss De Voe rose. "Mr.
Your quitting your father's house, and throwing yourself into the protection of a family, however honourable, that has a man in it, whose person, parts, declarations, and pretensions, will be thought to have engaged your warmest esteem; methinks I am rather for advising that you should get privately to London; and not to let either him, or any body else but me, know where you are, till your cousin Morden comes.
Brown, looking with surprise at the gift, which he held with no unwilling hand, "I am sure, sir, that you are very generous, and strongly remind me of your relation, Lady Morden; and if you would like the lovely little ape as a present I mean really a present you shall have it, Mr. Mordaunt." But Mr.
Morden was engaged to act as governess to the young heiress during her mother's absence. She was the widow of one of his brother-officers a highly accomplished woman, and a woman of conscientious feelings and high principle. "Never had any creature more need of your protection than my child has," said Honoria.
Brown contained only one sentence, "and so you brought this note, and will take back my answer?" "Yes, sir; anything to keep up family connections; I knew a Lady Morden very well, very well indeed, sir, a relation of yours, I presume, by the similarity of the name; made her very valuable presents; shall be most happy to do the same to you, when you are married, sir.
Howe against me, in the first place, as a person I might have thought to fly to, if pushed to desperation my brother continually buzzing in my father's ears, that my cousin Morden would soon arrive, and then would insist upon giving me possession of my grandfather's estate, in pursuance of the will; which would render me independent of my father their disgraceful confinement of me their dismissing so suddenly my servant, and setting my sister's over me their engaging my mother, contrary to her own judgment, against me: these, he said, were all so many flagrant proofs that they would stick at nothing to carry their point; and were what made him inexpressibly uneasy.
You will order a gig from Morden, and leave here about three o'clock. I should say you had better get up as two countrymen who have been up to market. However, Mr. Thorndyke will explain the whole matter to you fully." Mark then went off with the two officers to a private room, and went into the whole matter with them.
"This," announced the other deliberately, "is the missing key of the billiard-room at Morden Place!" The two girls looked at each other, and Gertie nodded. "I've been blaming her brother all along for that trick." "My dear girl," demanded Miss Loriner, "aren't you fearfully excited and indignant about it?" "Doesn't seem to matter much now. But," smiling, "she is a character, isn't she?
In tearless silence he contemplated the wreck of his life. THE narrative returns to South Morden, and follows the events which attended Isabel's marriage engagement.
And in my last case, I, your Anna Howe, would exert myself, and either find you a private refuge, or resolve to share fortunes with you. What a wretch! to be so easily answered by your reference to the arrival of your cousin Morden! But I am afraid that you was too scrupulous: for did he not resent that reference?
