For accidents we must all be prepared. She was a heroine in an accident. The earl recalled one and more: her calm face, brightened eyes, easy laughter. Hysterics were not in her family. She did wrong to let that fellow Morsfield accompany her. Possibly he had come across her on the road, and she could not shake him off.
And who could wonder? A wife denied the admittance to her husband's house by her husband! The most beautiful woman of her time relentlessly humiliated, ordered to journey back the way she had come. They had reached the gate of the park, and had turned. 'A scandal! Mr. Morsfield renewed his interjection vehemently, for an apology to his politeness in breaking from Mrs. Pagnell.
Honour and blest adventure might travel together two days or three, he thought. If the chariot did not pass: Lord Ormont had willed it. A man could not be said to swerve in his duty when acting to fulfil the master's orders, and Mrs. Pagnell was proved a hoodwinked duenna, and Morsfield was in the air. The breathing Aminta had now a common purse with her first lover.
Captain Cumnock was particularly sensitive regarding it, inasmuch as he knew himself not the natural performer he strove to be, and a mimicry affected him as a haunting check. He burst out: 'Damned if I don't understand why you're hated by men and women both! Morsfield took a shock. 'Infernal hornet! he muttered; for his conquests had their secret history.
Pagnell, so she capped it and partook of the infusion ruefully. 'But the bread is really good, she said, 'and we are unlikely to be seen leaving the place by any person of importance. 'Unless Mr. Morsfield should be advised to return this way, said Aminta. Her aunt proposed for a second cup.
It'll blow over. Button off sheer accident. I wasn't lucky enough to see the encounter: came in just when Chiallo was lashing his poll over Morsfield flat on the ground. He had it up to the hilt. We put a buttoned foil by the side of Morsfield, and all swore to secrecy. As it is, it 'll go badly against poor Chiallo. Taste for fencing won't be much improved by the affair.
And, by the way, one might prick the affair with Morsfield by telling him publicly that his visit to inspect Steignton was waste of pains, for he would not be accepted as a tenant in the kennels, et caetera. Well, poor girl, she satisfied her curiosity, not aware that a few weeks farther on would have done it to the full.
Lady Charlotte dilated on it for a length of time, merely to show she declined to believe it; pouring Morsfield over him and the talk of the town, the gypsy caught in Spain now to be foisted on her as her sister-in-law! She could fancy she produced an effect.
One thing, Cumnock: the fellow's clever at the foils. 'Foils to the devil! If I tackle the fellow, it won't be with the buttons. But how has he pushed in? Morsfield reported 'the scandal! in sharp headings. 'Turned her away. Won't have her enter his house grandest woman in all England! Sent his dog to guard. Think of it for an insult! It's insult upon insult.
She allowed her brother to be correct in repudiating the name of the dead Morsfield chivalrous as he was on this Aminta's behalf to the last! and struck along several heads, Adderwood's, Weyburn's, Randeller's, for the response to her suspicion. A man there certainly was. He would be probably a young man. He would not necessarily be a handsome man. . . . or a titled or a wealthy man.
