"I am Captain Clavering. I had the honor of meeting you at Lady Ongar's." "And now you wish to consult me on an affair of great importance. Very well. You may consult me. Will you sit down there." And Madam Gordeloup indicated to him a chair just opposite to herself, and far removed from that convenient spot which Archie had prepared for the smoothing of the bank-notes.
The mare must get a gallop before she would be in a condition to be brought out. So Archie knocked at the door, intending merely to give the mare a gallop if he should find her in to-day. He gave his name, and was shown at once up into Lady Ongar's drawing-room. Lady Ongar was not there, but she soon came down, and entered the room with a smile on her face and with an outstretched hand.
Then Lord Ongar's widow returned; and dear Mrs. Burton, though I fear you think ill of her, you must remember that as far as you know, or I, she has done nothing wrong, has been in no respect false, since her marriage. As to her early conduct to me, she did what many women have done, but what no woman should do. But how can I blame her, knowing how terrible has been my own weakness!
"Lord Ongar's uncles would buy your interest in it, I have no doubt." "Exactly. They have sent to me, offering to do so. My brother-in-law, Sir Hugh Clavering, called on me with a message from them saying so. I thought that he was very foolish to come, and so I told him. Such things should be done by one's lawyers.

Hermione likes it." To this last assertion Lady Clavering expressed no assent; nor did she venture to contradict him. Lady Ongar's Return But Sir Hugh did not get away from Clavering Park on the next morning, as he had intended. There came to him that same afternoon a message by telegraph, to say that Lord Ongar was dead.
In this way he travelled through Wilts, Somerset and Devon, and in due time arrived at Earl Ongar's castle on the Exe. Athelwold, who thought highly of himself, had undertaken his mission with a light heart, but now when his progress in the West had brought him to the great earldoman's castle it was borne in on him that he had put himself in a very responsible position.
"Love is very pretty at seventeen, when the imagination is telling a parcel of lies, and when life is one dream. To like people oh, yes; to be very fond of your friend; oh, yes; to be most attached as I am to my Julie" here she got hold of Lady Ongar's hand "it is the salt of life!
"You shall not be asked to give up any of your independence," said Julia, with a smile a melancholy smile, that gave but little sign of pleasantness within. Then, on a sudden, her face became stern and hard. "The fact is," she said, "I do not intend to keep Lord Ongar's money." "Not to keep your income!" said Hermione.
