Her niece doesn't stoop to any of those tricks, I 'm told. I like her for that. Weyburn was roused: 'I think you would like Lady Ormont, if you knew her, my lady. 'The chances of my liking the young woman are not in the dice-box. You call her Lady Ormont: you are not one of the servants. Don't call her Lady Ormont to me. 'It is her title, Lady Charlotte. She let fly a broadside at him.
Her heart, however, complained of the cruelty of having in the end, perhaps, if the wrangle should be protracted, to yield, for sheer weakness, without ceasing to beat. At half-past twelve of the noon next day Lord Ormont was at Lady Charlotte's house door.
He would speak the "g" in Nargett, and he, declined after a remonstrance he declined to pass Pagnell under the cedilla. Lord Ormont spoke the name like a man hating it, or an English rustic: "Nargett Pagnell," instead, of the soft and elegant "Naryett Pagnell," the only true way of speaking it; and she had always taken that pronunciation of her name for a test of people's breeding.
In relation to weight, they were with the burgess and the presbyter; they preponderated heavily in the direction of England's burgess view of all cases disputed between civilian and soldier. But that was when the peril was over. Admirers of Lord Ormont enjoyed a perusal of a letter addressed by him to the burgess's journal; and so did his detractors.
"Lord Ormont and his Aminta" might well be added because of its teaching; but the others will serve, with the understanding that so many-sided a writer has in other works given further noble proof of his powers.
The expression of his lordship's countenance under correction was memorable. Naturally, in those honeymoony days, the young Countess of Ormont sided with her husband the earl; she declared that her aunt had never dreamed of the cedilla before the expedition to Spain.
Matey said he should be happy to reach it with half the honours Lord Ormont had won. "Excepting the duels," Shalders had the impudence to say. "If the cause is a good one!" cried Matey. "The cause, or Lord Ormont has been maligned, was reprehensible in the extremest degree." Shalders cockhorsed on his heels to his toes and back with a bang.
Yes, only Rowsley would not have dismissed her without surety that she would be protected. So it was the right thing prompted on the impulse of the moment. And young Weyburn would meet some difficulty in protecting his 'Lady Ormont, if she had no inclination for it.
'That man Morsfield, is it? I wonder what he's doing on the road here. He goes over London boasting hum, nothing to me. But he 'll find Lord Ormont's arm can protect a poor woman, whatever she is. He'd have had it before, only Lord Ormont shuns a scandal.
Lord Ormont submitted to the infliction of that horrid female in his household! It was no wonder he stopped short of allying himself with the family. Or put it the other way for it is just as confounding right side or left she and her friends take advantage of his absence to make the clever push for an establishment, and socially force him to legalize their union on his return.
