Ponsonby, as she recollected Wheal Salamanca and Wheal Catharine, and Wheal Dynevor, and all the other wheals that had wheeled away all Cheveleigh and half Ormersfield, till the last unfortunate wheal failed when the rope broke, and there were no funds to buy a new one.
In short, you must not be disappointed' and she put her hands before her face, trying to laugh, but almost overcome. 'Nay, I did not mean to press you, said Lord Ormersfield, gently; 'but I thought, since James has had the fellowship and Clara has been at school, that you wished to give up your pupils. 'So I do, said the lady, but still not yielding absolutely.
'Well, said Lord Ormersfield, considering, 'you have every right to have a voice in the management of the property. I should like to hear your views with regard to these cottages.
Louis's lip curled somewhat; but he said no more, and made no objections to the arrangements which his father proceeded to detail. Doubtful of the accommodations of Ebbscreek, Lord Ormersfield had prudently retained his fly, and though Louis, intending to sleep on the floor, protested that there was plenty of room, he chose to return to the inn at Bickleypool.
Did I tell you how some ten of the boys continue to touch their hats to me? and Smith, the butcher's son, often comes to borrow a book, and consult me on some of the difficulties that his father throws in his way. He is a fine fellow, and at least I hope that my two years at the school did him no harm. I was much impressed with the orderliness at Ormersfield Sunday-school.

Lord Ormersfield welcomed her in an almost fatherly manner, and made her sit down, telling her that she had come at a good moment, since Louis had just received a letter; but he feared that it was not a very good account of Isabel. 'Isabel! Is anything the matter? 'You are behindhand.
So I wouldn't listen a moment, and I ran down, with him after me, saying, 'Hear reason, Mysie. And I ran full butt up against some-body Lord Ormersfield it was, I found but I didn't know then. I only said something about begging pardon, and dashed on, and opened the door.
Indeed, Louis's fascinations and Mary's bright face had almost persuaded her into coming home with them; but the confirmed Londoner prevailed, and she had a tyrant maid-servant, who would not let her go, even to the festival at Ormersfield in honour of her niece.
It always happens when a girl with expectations goes among needy nobility. 'You would not say that, if you knew the circumstances, said Mary, looking down. 'I won't distress you, my dear; I know you are too wise a girl to be dazzled with worldly splendours, and that is enough for me. The poor old furniture at Ormersfield!
Born late of this unhappy marriage, little Mary was his only substantial link to his wife, and he had never been wanting in tenderness to her: but many a storm had raged over the poor child's head; and, though she did not know why the kind old Countess had come to remove her and her mother, and 'papa' was still a loved and honoured title, she was fully sensible of the calm security at Ormersfield.
