THE next morning, while it was yet dark, Lord Vargrave's carriage picked up Mr. Onslow at the door of a large old-fashioned house, at the entrance of the manufacturing town of . The party were silent and sleepy till they arrived at Lisle Court.
"She's his godmother, sir. D'you think Mrs. Carey will get over it, sir?" The doctor shook his head. It was a week later. Philip was sitting on the floor in the drawing-room at Miss Watkin's house in Onslow gardens. He was an only child and used to amusing himself. The room was filled with massive furniture, and on each of the sofas were three big cushions.
Talk of the noble qualities of savages, I've seen a good deal of human nature, and to my mind, left to itself without anything to improve or correct it, there is nothing too bad or abominably cruel which it will not do." "There, I have told you enough of the old fellow's story for the present," exclaimed Dick Onslow, throwing himself back in his chair and stretching out his legs.
Harding took a small book and a pencil from his pocket and noted down the address. "Good-by," he said. "I live in Onslow Gardens Number 89." "Thank you. Good-by." The two men shook hands. Then Mr. Harding went on his way toward South Kensington, while Malling inserted his latch-key into the door of Number 7b, Cadogan Square.
Littleton took out a small memorandum book and carefully noted the address. "Mrs. Babcock, 25 Onslow Avenue. I shall make a point of calling to-morrow afternoon if I stay and probably I shall." He bowed and left Selma pleasantly stirred by the interview. His voice was low and his enunciation sympathetically fluent.
So have Luke Fildes, Alma Tadema, H. T. Wells, G. D. Leslie, John Collier, Val Prinsep, Solomon J. Solomon, Frank Bramley, Phil Morris, Calderon, Leader, Nettleship, Seymour Lucas, Waterlow, William Strutt, Albert Moore, W. W. Ouless, C. W. Wyllie, Sir John Gilbert, Louise Jopling, Onslow Ford, and even W. C. Horsley.
Still there are traceries and capitals of exquisite design to be found everywhere, and of statuary there is at least Onslow Ford's pathetic figure of the poet Shelley to be seen at University College, beneath a dome which does its best to mar the whole effect.
The two houses assembled on the fourteenth day of January, and Mr. Onslow was re-elected speaker. The leaders of both parties in all debates, were the self-same persons who had conducted those of the former parliament; and the same measure were pursued in the same manner.
The concertinists played an arrangement of a quartet by Onslow. The working men and women of Wandsworth gaped, and those who sat near the door began to slip out. Even Miss McQuinch pitied them. "The idea of expecting them to be grateful for an infliction like that!" she said. "What do people of their class care about Onslow's quartets?"
I went to the gangway to receive them so that we might be out of ear-shot of Miss Onslow, who was sitting in the after-end of her sleeping-tent, reading and, even before the boat got alongside, I could see, by the sober faces of those in her, that something serious was the matter. O'Gorman boarded the brig alone, leaving his two companions in the boat alongside.
