Ventnor, known as the "metropolis of the Undercliff," is beyond Bonchurch, and is also a thriving wateringplace, above which rises the attractive spire of Holy Trinity Church, built by the munificence of three sisters. From Ventnor the most beautiful part of the island coast stretches westward to Niton.
You understand me? 'Perfectly, I said. 'I understand perfectly. To mar is human, and to make divine? Thank you. Have some more jelly? No? Shall I ask for your carriage? Good-night. But Lady Niton won't believe a word of it! She thinks I've only to ask and have. She'll be rude to Ettie, and I shall have to punch her head metaphorically.
I thought Alicia looked uncommonly cheerful!" This last remark was delivered as a parting shot as Lady Niton hobbled to the door. She could not, however, resist pausing to see its effect. Lady Lucy turned indignantly. "I don't know what you mean by that remark. Alicia has behaved with great kindness and tact!" "I dare say! We're all darlings when we get our way. What does Ferrier say?"
Such ill-feeling and violence such unfair placards! some of them, I am sure, were libellous. But I am told one can do nothing." "Well, my dear, this is what Democracy comes to," said Lady Niton, taking up her knitting again with vehemence. "'Tu l'as voulu, Georges Dandin. You Liberals have opened the gates and now you grumble at the deluge."
Diana had already become as a sister to her and Bobbie, trusted in their secrets and advising in their affairs. Lady Niton, standing by Sir James, looked after her. "Well, there's only one thing in the world that girl wants; and I suppose nobody in their senses ought to help her to it." "What do you mean?" She murmured a few words in his ear. "Not a bit of it!" said Sir James, violently.
Ferrier was to be there ex-Home Secretary, and now leader of the Opposition and old Lady Niton. Diana retailed what gossip she knew of this rather famous personage, whom three-fourths of the world found insolent and the rest witty. "They say, anyway, that she can snub Mrs. Fotheringham," said Diana, laughing. "You met them abroad?" "Only Mr. Marsham and Lady Lucy.
Where is it?" said Sir James Chide, contemptuously. "I suppose Lady Palmerston knew." The famous lawyer sat a little apart from the rest. Diana, who had only caught his name, and knew nothing else of him, looked with sudden interest at the man's great brow and haughty look. Lady Niton shook her head emphatically. "We know quite as well as she did.
Everybody of his acquaintance was now engaged in retrying the Wing murder, since that statement of Chide's in the Times. No one talked of anything else, and the new story that was now tacked on to the old had given yet another spin to the ball of gossip. How had the story got out? Bobbie believed that it had been mainly the doing of Lady Niton.
"If he is turning his thoughts in that quarter," persisted Lady Niton, "I give him my blessing. Well bred, handsome, and well off what's your objection?" Mrs. Fotheringham laughed impatiently. "Really, Lady Niton, I made no objection." "You don't like her!" "I have only known her twenty-four hours. How can I have formed any opinion about her?" "No you don't like her!
Diana made a quick movement. Her eyes were on the speaker. "How is Mr. Marsham?" Lady Niton shook her head. She opened a hand-bag on her wrist, took out a letter, and put on her eye-glasses. "This is Lucy arrived this morning. It don't sound well. 'Come when you can, my dear Elizabeth you will be very welcome. But I do not know how I have the courage to ask you.
