The Ormonts are the only explanation if it 's an apology she can offer for the behaviour of the husband of the Countess of Ormont. You know I like him. I can't help liking a man who likes me. Is that the way with a boy, Mr. Secretary? I must have another talk with the gentleman, my dear. You are Aminta to me. 'Always Aminta to you, was the reply, tenderly given.
Men, too, if their despot is an Ormont. Colonel of his regiment, he proved that: his men would follow him anywhere, do anything.
But it 's not my brother Rowsley's title she has got except for footmen and tradesmen. When there's a true Countess of Ormont!..... Unless my brother has cut himself from his family. Not he. He's not mad. They passed through Olmer park-gates. Lady Charlotte preceded him, and she turned, waiting for him to rejoin her.
Adding: 'Of course I stand for my class; and if we can't have a manlier people and it 's not likely in a country treating my brother so badly well, then, let things go on as they are. But it was the pretension to a part in the name of Ormont which so violently offended the democratic aristocrat, and caused her to resent it as an assault on the family honour, by 'a woman springing up out of nothing' a woman of no distinctive birth.
We are instruments to the touch of certain women, and made to play strange tunes. "Mr. Cuper flourishes?" "The school exists. I have not been down there. I met Mr. Shalders yesterday. He has left the school." "You come up from Olmer?" "I was at Olmer last week, Lady Ormont." An involuntary beam from her eyes thanked him for her title at that juncture of the dialogue.

Proceeding to an argument, that the earl did not regard her as the Countess of Ormont, or the ceremony at the British Embassy as one serious and binding, she pushed her reason too far: sweet delusion waned.
'I propose running down to take my leave of Lady Ormont to-morrow, replied Weyburn. 'She is handsome? She is very handsome. 'Beautiful, do you mean? 'Oh, my lady, it would only be a man's notion! 'Now, that 's as good an answer as could be made! You 're sure to succeed. I 'm not the woman's enemy. But let her keep her place. Why, Rowsley can't be coming to-day! Did Lord Ormont look ill?
Now he did it for the purpose of casting eclipse upon Major-General Lord Ormont, the son and grandson of English earls; for he was an earl by his title, and Murat was the son of an innkeeper. Shalders had to admit that Murat might have served in the stables when a boy. Honour to Murat, of course, for climbing the peaks!
Only he insists that they be regulated and used aright by the master, brain. The mishaps of his women come usually from the haphazard abeyance of feeling or from an unthinking bowing down to the arbitrary dictations of society. In both "Lord Ormont and his Aminta" and "One of our Conquerors" he advocates a greater freedom in this relation, to anticipate what time may bring to pass.
May was rolled along in the tide, with a hint of her good reason for liking Lord Ormont; also the change of opinion shown by the Press as to Lord Ormont's grand exploit.
