"I have no scheme for rendering marriages universally happy. On the contrary, I believe that marriages in general will always serve as a test of human patience." It is possible to put them on something like an equality in knowledge of life with the young men of corresponding social station." Mumbray.
Mr. Mumbray bade farewell to his greatness. The new Mayor was a Liberal. As returning-officer, he would preside over the coming political contest. The Tories gloomed at each other, and whispered of evil omens. For many years Mr. Mumbray had looked to the Mayoralty as the limit of his ambition.
For some years he had been a widower, a fact which perhaps accounted for his insinuating manner when he approached Miss Mumbray. The dinner was portentously dull. Ivy Glazzard scarcely uttered a syllable. Her uncle exerted himself to shape phrases of perfect inoffensiveness, addressing now his hostess, now Serena. The burden of conversation fell upon Mr.
I came to you because I feel so alone and so helpless. You know that I am engaged to Mr. Glazzard?" Her voice faltered. Relieved from anxiety, Lilian looked and spoke in her kindest way. "Do speak freely to me, Miss Mumbray. I shall be so glad to to help you in any way I can so very glad." "I am sure you mean that. My mother is very much against our marriage against Mr. Glazzard.
Tenterden gave a start. "You really think so? That has occurred to me. Mrs. Wade's fainting when she gave her evidence oh dear, oh dear! I'm afraid there can be only one explanation." "That is our honourable member, my dear!" threw out Mrs. Mumbray. "These are Radical principles in man and woman. Why, I am told that scarcely a day passed without Mrs. Wade calling at the house."
The whispering, the nodding, the screwing up of lips, the portentous frowning and the shaking of heads no such excitement was on record! "To me," remarked Mrs. Mumbray, with an air of great responsibility, "the mystery is too plain. I don't hint at the worst it would be uncharitable but the poor creature had undoubtedly made some discovery in that woman's house which drove her to despair." Mrs.
"I should have been heartily sick of the business by now." "There's no knowing. So you marry Miss Mumbray? An excellent choice, I have no doubt. Hearty congratulations! Oh, by-the-bye, Jacobs & Burrows have a capital Greuze do look in if you are passing."
