When the proposition had been made and accepted, and when the hero of it had gone off on his drag, Miss Penge communicated the tidings to her friend. "I think he has behaved very wisely," said Lady Penwether. "Well; feeling as I do of course I think he has. I hope he thinks the same of me. I had many doubts about it, but I do believe that I can make him a good wife."
"She is a gem of inestimable price, and most warmly attached to you. And if this property is to be bought, of course the money will be a great thing." "Money is always comfortable." "Of course it is, and then there is nothing to be desired. If I had named the girl that I would have wished you to love, it would been Caroline Penge."
"That girl is very clever, Rufford," his sister whispered to him before dinner. "She is very much excited rather than clever just at present," he answered; upon which Lady Penwether shook her head. Miss Penge whispered to Miss Godolphin that Miss Trefoil was making the most of it; and Mr.
"She may be clever," said Lady Penwether, "but I do not think I should ever like her." "She is one of those girls whom only gentlemen like," said Miss Penge. "And whom they don't like very long," said Lady Penwether. "How well I understand all this," said Lord Rufford turning to the younger Miss Godolphin.
There is nothing else to be said; all other considerations are idle and irrelevant. A judgeship was, however, a second time offered by Lord Cairns in 1876. This, after due consideration, I accepted, and received my appointment as a Judge of the Exchequer Court on November 2 of that year. The first and most sensational case that I was called upon to preside over was known as the Penge case.
"Certainly; and not a bad specimen of a British farmer." "Not a bad specimen of a Briton generally; but still, perhaps, a little unreasonable." After that Sir George said as little as he could, till he had brought the Senator back to the hall. "I think it's all over now," said Lady Penwether to Miss Penge, when the gentlemen had left them alone in the afternoon. "I'm sure I hope so, for his sake.
Marriage altogether was a bore; but having a name and a large fortune, it was incumbent on him to transmit them to an immediate descendant. And perhaps it was a worse bore to grow old without having specially bound any other human being to his interests. "How well I recollect that spot," said Miss Penge. "It was there that Major Caneback took the fence." "That was not where he fell"
Lady Penwether had shrugged her shoulders when consulted as to these special guests and had expressed a hope that Rufford "wasn't going to make a goose of himself." But she was fond of her brother and as both Lady Purefoy and Miss Penge were special friends of hers, and as she had also been allowed to invite a couple of Godolphin's girls to whom she wished to be civil, she did as she was asked.
These are, as nearly as I can give them, the words of one of our most distinguished advocates, and one of the most brilliant who was in the Penge case: "We felt, and the Bar felt, that a great power had come upon the Bench; he summed up that case as no living man could have done. Every word told; every point was touched upon and made so clear that it was impossible not to see it."
Close friendship with her future sister-in-law would be very necessary to her comfort, and Miss Penge, since the law-suit was settled, had never been given to yielding. "My dear Rufford," said the sister affectionately, "I congratulate you with all my heart; I do indeed. I am quite sure that you could not have done better." "I don't know that I could."
