The Colonel had given so very highly colored a description of the young lady who was with the little boy so nearly run over on the previous morning that the pretty widow's jealousy was aroused. In spite of her flightiness and love of pleasure she had a very keen sense of her own interest, and perceiving Colonel Ormonde's decided appreciation, she had made up her mind to marry him.
"I think I had the pleasure of seeing you at Lady Carton's garden party last July?" she said, courteously. "Oh, dear me, yes! I thought I knew your face. Lady Carton introduced you to me. Lady Carton is a cousin of Colonel Ormonde's." "Oh, indeed! Miss Liddell was not there?" "No; she chose to bury herself by the sea-side for the whole season." Here Katherine returned with the card.
Do you not know that the worst pang my bitterest enemy had I one could inflict is to feel I must give up the boys? Matters are still unsettled, but if my cousin can be induced to deal mercifully with me, and not absorb my little all to liquidate what is legally due to him, I will gladly keep Cis and Charlie, and give them what I have, rather than throw them on Colonel Ormonde's charity.
Only one little shadow there was that fell upon her at times when she thought of Egremont. What was that question of Mrs. Ormonde's a question asked in the overheard conversation? 'Have you altogether forgotten Annabel? And Walter's reply had shown that he did once love someone named Annabel. He had asked her to marry him, and she strange beyond thought! had refused him.
There was a "preparatory school for young gentlemen," which was an additional attraction to Sandbourne, both children being extremely ignorant even for their tender years; and Katherine was greatly opposed to Colonel Ormonde's intention of sending Cecil away to a boarding-school.
"Oh yes; immediately after breakfast. There is really nothing to do here." "Immediately after breakfast I am going out with the boys Mrs. Ormonde's boys. Have you seen them? But we shall have plenty of time before luncheon." "Are you fond of children?" slowly, while her busy needle paused and she undid a stitch or two. "I am fond of these children; I do not know much about any other."
Swift. Vile Scot, dare to touch Ormonde's honour, and so falsely. Swift. Wrongly told. Burnet says of the Earl of Godolphin: After having been thirty years in the Treasury, and during nine of those Lord Treasurer, as he was never once suspected of corruption, or of suffering his servants to grow rich under him, so in all that time his estate was not increased by him to the value of £4,000. Swift.
I had no idea Lord de Burgh was so straightforward and well-disposed a man. A little abrupt, and would not stand any nonsense, I fancy, but a sterling character. He has tact too. He always spoke of the boys as his cousin Colonel Ormonde's step-sons. He might be a good friend to them, Katherine." "No doubt," she replied, thoughtfully.
Ormonde had had constructed for the use of children who had to be sheltered from too much either of sun or breeze when they were brought out of doors. Thyrza had not been resting for more than a minute or two, when a voice spoke from the other side of the wall, so plainly that she started, thinking she was observed and addressed. The voice was Mrs. Ormonde's.
Ormonde's; many women could conduct them, if the means were supplied. And so on. 'Yes, that is all very reasonable. It lies with yourself to decide whether you might not have a breezier existence in America. 'True. But not with myself to decide whether I remain here or go back again. I ask you to help me in determining that. Annabel stood as one who reflects gravely yet collectedly.
