"But she refused you." "Yes, she refused me. I think she wanted me to understand that I had come to her too soon after Ongar's decease." "Then she must be an infernal hypocrite, that's all." But of any hypocrisy in this matter the reader will acquit Lady Ongar, and will understand that Archie had merely lessened the severity of his own fall by a clever excuse.
He little dreamed at that moment how openly she would soon speak to him of Lord Ongar and of Lord Ongar's faults? "Oh, how I have wished that I had taken your money! But never mind about that now, Harry. Wretched as such taunts were, they soon became a small thing. But it has been cowardly in your cousin, Hugh; has it not?
She would ascertain, too, on what smallest sum she could live respectably and without penury, and would keep only so much out of Lord Ongar's wealth. But hitherto her life at Tenby had not been successful. Solitary days were longer there even than they had been in London. People stared at her more; and, though she did not own it to herself, she missed greatly the comforts of her London house.
She had many doubts. Ah! why had not Harry Clavering remained true to her? But her punishment had come upon her with all its severity, and she acknowledged to herself now that it was not to be avoided. Lady Ongar's Revenge At last came the night which Harry had fixed for his visit to Bolton Street.
Florence, having remained a fortnight in town after Harry's return to the sheepfold, and having accepted Lady Ongar's present not without a long and anxious consultation with her sister-in-law on the subject had returned in fully restored happiness to Stratton. Mrs. Burton was at Ramsgate with the children, and Mr.
"If you are thinking of society, she could be nowhere safer from any such necessity than with me. I never go out anywhere. I have never dined out, or even spent an evening in company, since Lord Ongar's death. And no one would come here to disturb her." "I didn't mean that." "I don't quite know what you did mean. From different causes, she and I are left pretty nearly equally without friends."
He knew that it behooved him now at once to tell her all his tale as to Stratton and Florence Burton that if he could tell it now, the pang would be over and the danger gone. But he did not tell it. Instead of telling it he thought of Lady Ongar's beauty, of his own early love, of what might have been his had he not gone to Stratton.
So she got out on the little hill, and walked up in front of the prime minister's house as it was then and of the yellow palace built by one of our merchant princes, and turned into the street that was all but interdicted to her by her own conscience. She turned up Bolton Street, and with a trembling hand knocked at Lady Ongar's door. Florence in the meanwhile was sitting alone in Onslow Terrace.
I still hope that you will admit me P." Having read these words while standing, she made an effort to think what might be the best course for her to follow. As for Lord Ongar's papers, she did not believe in the plea. Lord Ongar could have had no papers interesting to her in such a manner as to make her desirous of seeing this man or of hearing of them in private.
He was still thinking of the seventy pounds which he had invested, and which he could now recover only out of Lady Ongar's pocket. "And you mean to say that you won't come to Norway?" "Well; if she accepts me " "If she accepts you," said Hugh, "of course you can't come; but supposing she don't?" "In that case, I might as well do that as anything else," said Archie.
