When Silverbridge undertook to return with Tregear to London instead of going off direct to Matching, it is to be feared that he was simply actuated by a desire to postpone his further visit to his father's house. He had thought that Lady Mabel would surely be gone before his task at Polpenno was completed.
By the same post another letter went from Polpenno to Matching which also gave rise to some mental memoranda. It was as follows: MY DEAR MABEL, I am a Member of the British House of Commons!
At dinner Lady Mabel sat next to his father, and he could watch the special courtesy with which the Duke treated the girl whom he was so desirous of introducing to his house. Silverbridge could not talk about the election at Polpenno because all conversation about Tregear was interdicted in the presence of his sister.
Tregear has got in at Polpenno," she said on the day on which she and the Duke had received their letters. "So I hear from Silverbridge." "It will be a good thing for him, I suppose." "I do not know," said the Duke coldly. "He is my cousin, and I have always been interested in his welfare." "That is natural." "And a seat in Parliament will give him something to do."
His voice was much pleasanter to their ears than that of old Mr. Williams. The women waved their handkerchiefs and the men stamped their feet. Here was an orator come among them! "You all know all about it just as well as I do," continued the orator, "and I am sure you feel that he ought to be member for Polpenno." There could be no doubt about that as far as the opinion of the audience went.
On the following morning the Duke proposed to Lady Mabel that she should stay at Matching for yet another fortnight, or even for a month if it might be possible. Lady Mabel, whose father was still abroad, was not sorry to accept the invitation. Polpenno Polwenning, the seat of Mr.
Tregear, Frank's father, was close to the borough of Polpenno, so close that the gates of the grounds opened into the town. As Silverbridge had told his father, many of the Tregear family had sat for the borough. Then there had come changes, and strangers had made themselves welcome by their money. When the vacancy now occurred a deputation waited upon Squire Tregear and asked him to stand.
Then he changed the subject. Lady Mabel of course understood that after that she could not say a word to Mary about the election at Polpenno. The Meeting at "The Bobtailed Fox" It was now the middle of December, and matters were not comfortable in the Runnymede country. The Major with much pluck had carried on his operations in opposition to the wishes of the resident members of the hunt.
