That furnished additional evidence for the dentist, for generally you could not get a nougat chocolate at all if Godiva Plaistow had been in the room for more than a minute or two.... As she crossed the narrow cobbled roadway, with the grass growing luxuriantly between the rounded pebbles, she stumbled and recovered herself with a swift little forward run, and the circular feet twinkled with the rapidity of those of a thrush scudding over the lawn.
'I very often think of the future fate of Belton Castle when papa shall have gone. My cousin has got his house at Plaistow, and I don't suppose he'd live there. 'And where will you go? he asked. As soon as she had spoken, Clara regretted her own imprudence in having ventured to speak upon her own affairs.
He was Belton of Belton, and it would not be becoming that he should live elsewhere. Of course she would go with him to Plaistow Hall as often as he might wish it; but Belton Castle should be his permanent resting-place. It would be her duty to be proud for him, and therefore, for his sake, she would beg that their home might be in Somersetshire.
The explanation of this extreme susceptibleness must be left to psychologists; but I am convinced that we have here a case of transferred aesthetic sensibility. We can walk unmoved down the streets of Plaistow, but we cannot bear to see a horse beaten.
"So there's nothing more to be said," added Joyce complacently. I looked from one to the other. Then I laughed and shrugged my shoulders. "No," I said, "I suppose there isn't." Through the interminable slums of Plaistow and East Ham we drew out in the squalid region of Barking Creek, and I looked down on the mud and the dirty brown water with a curious feeling of satisfaction.
Our under-gardener, who lives in Greenwich, and the other under-gardener, who lives in Lewisham, and the servants on their evenings out, which they spend in distant spots like Plaistow and Grove Park each had a letter to post. The piano-tuner was a great catch he lived in Highgate; and the electric-bell man was Lambeth. So we got rid of all the letters, and watched the post for a reply.
Plaistow Manor-house or Hall was a fine brick mansion, built in the latter days of Tudor house architecture, with many gables and countless high chimneys very picturesque to the eye, but not in all respects comfortable as are the modern houses of the well-to-do squirearchy of England.
I proposed a sail, but there seemed to be a confirmed and general scepticism as to my yachting capacities, and Lady Plaistow says she doesn't want to be drowned before the end of the season. What would you like to do?" "Sit somewhere in the shade with a book," she replied, promptly but slowly. There was a shout of laughter. "That is just what Mr. Howard replied," said Bertie, complainingly.
The Annual Meeting of the British Ladies Society, an excellent organisation for visiting and caring for female convicts, although usually held at Westminster, was this year held in the Friends' meeting-house at Plaistow.
'I have not a word to say against what you are doing, he said at last; 'not a word. But you will understand what I mean when I tell you that it is not likely that you will come to Plaistow. 'Some day, Will, when you have a wife of your own 'Very well; but we won't talk about that at present, if you please. When I have, things will be different.
