'Do, and I'll tell them what I think of you. I'm going now. Miss Whichello rose briskly. 'I've had my say out, and you know what I intend to do if you meddle with my affairs. Good-day, Mrs Pansey, and good-bye, for it's a long time before I'll ever cross words with you again, ma'am, and the little old lady marched out of the room with all the honours of war. Mrs Pansey was completely crushed.
The late archdeacon never left his fireside while I was there. I knew better than to let him go to Paris or Pekin, or some of those sinks of iniquity. Cook and Gaze indeed! snorted Mrs Pansey, indignantly; 'I would abolish them by Act of Parliament. They turn men into so many Satans walking to and fro upon the earth. Oh, the immorality of these latter days!
'I think, Mrs Pansey, we may regard this man as a dangerous character. 'I shouldn't be surprised to hear he was an Anarchist, said Mrs Pansey, who knew nothing about the man. 'Well, Mrs Mosk, I hope we've cheered you up. I'll go now. Read this tract, bestowing a grimy little pamphlet, 'and don't see too much of Mr Pendle. 'But he comforts me, said poor Mrs Mosk; 'he reads beautiful.
'Altogether, I may regard it as a distinct success, said Mrs Pansey, as, attired in her most Hamlet-like weeds, she received her guests under the shade of a many-coloured Japanese umbrella. 'And the gardens really look nice. 'The gardens of Paradise! observed the complimentary Cargrim, who was smirking at the elbow of his hostess.
'Thank you, ma'am, I'm sure it's very kind of you, replied Mosk, who had a husky voice suggestive of beer. 'She'll be honoured to see you, I'm sure. This way, ma'am. 'Is she very ill? demanded the chaplain, as they followed Mosk to the back of the hotel and up a narrow staircase. 'She ain't well, sir, but I can't say as she's dying. We do all we can to make her easy. 'Ho! from Mrs Pansey.
"Yours sincerely, "PANSEY COTTRELL." On receipt of that note Miss Bloxam's determination not to attend the Beauchamp party vanished. It would be hard to say now whether mother or daughter were more impatient for that afternoon, or more curious as to what it might bring forth. Lady Mary's speculations were vague in the extreme. Mr.
She moved from group to group, and everywhere received smiles and congratulations, for she was a general favourite, and, with the exception of Mrs Pansey, everyone approved of her engagement.
Hoity-toity! here's brazen assurance, and Mrs Pansey, with her Roman beak in the air, marched off, wondering in her own curious mind what could be the reason of Gabriel's sudden return.
Her curiosity would have been gratified had she been present in Dr Graham's consulting-room an hour later; for after Gabriel had bathed and brushed up at his lodgings, he paid an immediate visit to the little doctor. Graham happened to be at home, as he had not yet set out on his round of professional visits, and he was as much astonished as Mrs Pansey when the curate made his appearance.
'It it is impossible, whispered George, almost inaudibly, 'Gabriel can explain. 'Gabriel must explain, said Brace, firmly; 'it is a matter of life and death! It was Miss Whichello, who, on the statement of Mrs Pansey as reported by Mr Cargrim, had told George of his brother's presence on Southberry Heath at the time of Jentham's murder.
