I thought him in Paris. I supposed the place empty. I wished to see it once. I travelled as the niece of Mrs. Pagnell. She is a little infatuated.... Mr. Morsfield heard of our expedition through her. I changed the route. I was not in want of a defender. I could have defended myself in case of need. We slept at Ashead, two hours from Steignton. He and a friend accompanied us, not with my consent.
He had his breakfast alone, as Lady Charlotte had it at Olmer; a dislike of a common table in the morning was a family trait with both. At ten o'clock the secretary arrived, and they were shut up together. At the luncheon table Aminta usually presided. If my lord dined at home, he had by that time established an equanimity rendering, his constant civility to Mrs. Pagnell less arduous.
"You are very good, ma'am," said the ghost of the determined young gentleman. "A slight cold, have you?" Mrs. Pagnell asked solicitously. "Dear me, no!" he gave answer with a cleared throat.
It looked like the beginning of a run to enter the house. Mrs. Pagnell ran after her. She ran cow-like. The earl's gorge rose at the spectacle Charlotte was observing. With Morsfield he could have settled accounts at any moment, despatching Aminta to her chamber for an hour.
A fair bridge here, with many arches: vexed at my people's making me lose so much time; reckoning, 13s. 4d. Mighty pleased with the pleasure of the ground all the day. At night to Newport Pagnell; and there a good pleasant country-town, but few people in it.

She sprang before Aminta to stop her retreat, and stamped and gibbed, for sign that she would not be driven. She fell away to Mr. Morsfield, for simple hearing of her plaint. He appeared emphatic. There was a passage between him and Weyburn.
'I suspect we 're going to get a drubbing. This fellow here has had his French maitre d'armes. Show me your hand, sir. Weyburn smiled, and extended his right hand, saying: 'The wrist wants exercise. 'Ha! square thumb, flesh full at the nails' ends; you were a bowler at cricket. 'Now examine the palms, my lord; I judge by the lines on the palms, Mrs. Pagnell remarked.
Her fault was, that instead of flinging down her glove and fighting it out openly, she listened to Pagnell, and began the game of Pull. If he had a zest for the game, it was to stump the woman Pagnell. So the veteran fancied in his amended mind. This intrusive sunlight chased him from the breakfast-table and out of the house.
'If anybody is the dragon to the treasure he covets he is a spadassin who won't hesitate at provocations. Adieu. Lord Ormont's eye had been on Mr. Morsfield. He had seen what Mrs. Pagnell counselled her niece to let him see. He thanked Mr.
