Anthony would have had to kiss this young woman if she had made her attack upon him as she did on me; and after all a kiss doesn't go for everything. These are things, Penwether, that must not be inquired into too curiously. But I won't marry her though it were a score of kisses. And now what must I do?"
The Duke himself suggested that the Duchess should see Lady Penwether, a scheme to which her Grace objected strongly, knowing something of Lady Penwether and being sure that her strawberry leaves would have no effect whatever on the baronet's wife. At last it was decided that a family meeting should be held, and Lord Augustus was absolutely summoned to meet Lord Mistletoe at the paternal mansion.
If I have said a word which has, unintentionally on my part, given rise to such an idea I can only beg your pardon heartily. If I were to add more after what I have now said perhaps you would take it as impertinence. Yours most sincerely, Rufford. He had desired to make various additions and suggestions which however had all been disallowed by Sir George Penwether.
It was as though a rose in emitting its perfume could confine itself to the nostrils of its one favoured friend. And now she smiled on Morton as she asked another question. "I did hear," she said, "from one of your Foreign Office young men that you and Miss Trefoil were very intimate." "Who was that, Lady Penwether?" "Of course I shall mention no name.
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.
He was seated at table with Lady Penwether and Miss Penge when Lord Rufford and his brother-in-law came into the room, after parting with Miss Trefoil in the manner described in the last chapter. Lady Penwether had watched their unwelcome visitor as she took her way across the park and had whispered something to Miss Penge.
We'll make him tell us whether he's going out single or double," said Archibald Currie. "After what the Rufford people said to me I'm sure he's going to marry her," said young Glossop. No doubt Lady Penwether had been anxious to make it understood by every one connected with the family that if any gossip should be heard about Rufford and Arabella Trefoil there was nothing in it.
"The Trefoils knew them." "If Lady Penwether knew them why could not Lady Penwether ask them independently of us? I don't believe they ever spoke to Lady Penwether in their lives. Lord Rufford and Miss Trefoil may very likely be London acquaintances. He may admire her and therefore choose to have her at his ball. I know nothing about that. As far as I am concerned he's quite welcome to keep her."
"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.
"Imagine the man coming to me and telling me that he was a friend of Goarly's. I rather liked him for it. There was a thorough pluck about it. They say he's going to find all the money." "I thought Mr. Scrobby was to do that?" said Lady Penwether. "Mr. Scrobby will not have the slightest objection to have that part of the work done for him.
