They lighted the inevitable cigars, and the following observations struggled feebly out along with the smoke. "Mr. Oldfield, I'm going to be married." "Glad to hear it, Sir Charles." "Want your advice and assistance first." "Certainly." "Must put down my pony-carriage now, you know." "A very proper retrenchment; but you can do that without my assistance."
Things were at once arranged, an answer of ready obedience committed to the groom, and Helen's pony-carriage ordered out. The curate called every thing Helen's. He had a great contempt for the spirit of men who marry rich wives and then lord it over their money, as if they had done a fine thing in getting hold of it, and the wife had been but keeping it from its rightful owner.
Crawley frowning at her bitterly the while. It had come to this with him, that food had been brought into his house, as an act of charity, in his very presence, and in his heart of hearts he disliked Lucy Robarts in that she had brought it.

Rob said to-day that unless I had another set-back I might go down-stairs in a day or two." "That is good news indeed," said Philippa warmly. "And soon you will be able to go out and see all the beauty of Bessmoor for yourself. We will have the pony-carriage and I will drive you as soon as ever he thinks you are fit for it."

'I have caused all this, she murmured between her quivering lips.
Bellairs, she carried it to her friend, who, by this time had reached the pony-carriage, and was just taking her seat. Lucia gave her the rose, and then remained standing by the little gate until Bob's head was turned towards home, when his mistress suddenly checked him. "Oh! Lucia," she called out, "I had nearly forgotten; will you give Maurice a message for me?"
Ethel Newcome, the Baronet's sister, was the only person in his house to whom Sir Barnes did not utter oaths or proffer rude speeches. He was afraid of offending her or encountering that resolute spirit, and lapsed into a surly silence in her presence.
