A smile wreathed Mr. Paramor's mouth, but died instantly. "Ecclesiastical principles, and according to these a person desiring a divorce 'ipso facto' loses caste. That they should have to make spies or beasts of themselves is not of grave importance." Gregory came back to the table, and again buried his head in his hands. "Don't joke, please, Paramor," he said; "it's all so painful to me." Mr.
"How can I tell you, when there's nothing to tell? I went to his club. He's not living there now. He's got rooms, nobody knows where. I waited all the afternoon. Left a message at last for him to come down here to-morrow. I've sent for Paramor, and told him to come down too. I won't put up with this sort of thing." Mrs.
Yet there was nothing in the expression of the Squire's face with its thin grey whiskers and moustache, its twist to the left, its swan-like eyes, decided jaw, and sloping brow, different from what this idea might bring on the face of any country gentleman. Mrs. Pendyce said eagerly "Oh, Mr. Paramor, if I could only see George!"
"It's a first-rate magnum," he said. Mr. Pendyce filled his Rector's glass. "I forget if you knew Paramor. He was before your time. He was at Harrow with me." The Rector took a prolonged sip. "I shall be in the way," he said. "I'll take myself off'." The Squire put out his hand affectionately. "No, no, Barter, don't you go. It's all safe with you. I mean to act. I can't stand this uncertainty.
And without waiting for permission he opened the door. Mrs. Pendyce and the spaniel John came in. The Squire looked up and frowned. The spaniel John, panting with delight, rubbed against him. 'I have been through torment, master, he seemed to say. 'A second separation at present is not possible for me! Mrs. Pendyce stood waiting silently, and Mr. Paramor addressed himself to her.
She suddenly felt sorry for him and all those other young men behind the lumps of paper, and the thought went flashing through her mind, 'I suppose it's all because people can't agree. She was shown in to Mr. Paramor at last. In his large empty room, with its air of past grandeur, she sat gazing at three La France roses in a tumbler of water with the feeling that she would never be able to begin.
She determined, however, first to visit Mr. Paramor, and, having but a hazy notion of the hour when men begin to work, she did not dare to start till past eleven, and told her cabman to drive her slowly. He drove her, therefore, faster than his wont.
And I believe that we have made the country, and shall keep the country what it is. And I believe in the Public Schools, and especially the Public School that I was at. And I believe in my social equals and the country house, and in things as they are, for ever and ever. Amen. Mr. Pendyce went on: "I'm not a Puritan, Paramor; I dare say there are allowances to be made for George.
The Will had been drawn by James in his palmy days. He had foreseen almost every contingency. Old Jolyon sat a long time reading this Will; at last he took half a sheet of paper from the rack, and made a prolonged pencil note; then buttoning up the Will, he caused a cab to be called and drove to the offices of Paramor and Herring, in Lincoln's Inn Fields.
After that man's conduct last night, I am more than ever set on it." "Then," said Mr. Paramor, "we must keep a sharp eye on Bellew, and hope for the best." Gregory held out his hand. "You spoke of morality," he said. "I can't tell you how inexpressibly mean the whole thing seems to me. Goodnight." And, turning rather quickly, he went out. His mind was confused and his heart torn.
