Of course it will be understood that since we last saw John Morton the position of Minister Plenipotentiary at Patagonia had been offered to him and that he had accepted the place in spite of Bragton and of Arabella Trefoil. At that moment a card was handed to Mounser Green by a messenger who was desired to show the gentleman up. "It's the Paragon himself," said Green.
Then the Paragon was shown into the room and Mounser Green and the young men were delighted to see him. Colonial governors at their seats of government, and Ministers Plenipotentiary in their ambassadorial residences are very great persons indeed; and when met in society at home, with the stars and ribbons which are common among them now, they are, less indeed, but still something.
She gets a pot of money, and no end of family jewels; but he didn't leave her the estate as he might have done." At that moment Mounser Green came into the room. It was rather later than usual, being past one o'clock; and he looked as though he were flurried. He didn't speak for a few minutes, but stood before the fire smoking a cigar.
Come into my room," Then Mounser Green led the way into a small inner sanctum in which it may be presumed that he really did his work. It was here at any rate that he wrote the notes on official note paper.
In these days, still winter days, and not open to much feminine gaiety in London, even if, in the present constitution of her circumstances, gaiety would have come in her way, in these days the hours in her life which interested her most, were those in which Mr. Mounser Green was dutifully respectful to his aunt. Patagonia had not yet presented itself to him.
"It was before he thought of going to Patagonia that she was at Bragton," said Currie. "That's all you know about it, old fellow," said the indignant young one. "She was there a second time, just before his death. I had it from Lady Penwether who was in the neighbourhood." "My dear little boy," said Mounser Green, "that was exactly what was likely to happen, and he yet may have broken his heart.
"And now he has gone and died!" said Hoffmann. "And now he has gone and died," continued Mounser Green. "'I never nursed a dear gazelle, and all the rest of it. Poor Paragon! I fear he was a little cut about Miss Trefoil." "She was down with him the day before he died," said young Glossop. "I happen to know that"
Mounser Green was engaged to Miss Trefoil, and for a day or two the Foreign Office could talk of nothing else. "A very handsome girl," said Lord Drummond to one of his subordinates. "I met her at Mistletoe. As to that affair with Lord Rufford, he treated her abominably."
"So after all the Paragon left her whatever he could leave," said Currie in the same room at the Foreign Office. A week had passed since the last conversation, and at this moment Mounser Green was not in the room. "Oh, dear no," said young Glossy. "She doesn't have Bragton. That goes to his cousin." "That was entailed, Glossy, my boy." "Not a bit of it.
At this moment he had a cigar in his mouth, and when he entered the room he stood with his back to the fire ready for conversation and looking very unlike a clerk who intended to do any work. But there was a general idea that Mounser Green was invaluable to the Foreign Office.
