Tuvo, además, misión confidencial de la administración de Bustamante para arreglar el reconocimiento de nuestra independencia por España, de que se desistió en virtud de sus informes; había estado asimismo con carácter diplomático en Berlín, y para apreciar el resultado general de sus gestiones, bastará recordar que él negoció casi todos nuestros primeros tratados con potencias extranjeras.
To others the rumour was incredible, but Mr Longestaffe believed it, and to Mr Longestaffe that belief was an agony. A Baron Bundlesham just at his door, and such a Baron Bundlesham, would be more than Mr Longestaffe could endure. It was quite impossible that his daughter should be entertained in London by the Primeros. But another suggestion had been made.
'Somebody must have brought you. 'I would have come with the Primeros, Julia. 'I couldn't do it. I asked Damask and he wouldn't have it. When that great affair was going on in February, we didn't know much about the people. I was told that everybody was going and therefore I got Sir Damask to let me go.
'Your father will not hear of it. He dislikes them especially. 'And I dislike the Melmottes. I dislike the Primeros of course, but they are not so bad as the Melmottes. That would be dreadful. 'You must judge for yourself; Georgiana. 'It is that, or staying here? 'I think so, my dear. 'If papa chooses I don't know why I am to mind. It will be awfully disagreeable, absolutely disgusting!
I can't think what made you dream of going to Caversham just now, knowing as you do how hard papa is to manage. 'Everybody has taken to going out of town at Whitsuntide, my dear. 'No, mamma; everybody has not. People understand too well the trouble of getting up and down for that. The Primeros aren't going down. I never heard of such a thing in all my life.
The houses of the gentry around him were superior to his in material comfort and general accommodation, but to none of them belonged that thoroughly established look of old county position which belonged to Carbury. Bundlesham, where the Primeros lived, was the finest house in that part of the county, but it looked as if it had been built within the last twenty years.
Roger Carbury, Esq., was Carbury of Carbury, a distinction of itself which, from its nature, could not belong to the Longestaffes and Primeros, which did not even belong to the Hepworths of Eardly. The very parish in which Carbury Hall stood, or Carbury Manor House, as it was more properly called, was Carbury parish.
The Primeros were undoubtedly beneath him in the social scale, although the young Primeros had three horses apiece, and killed legions of pheasants annually at about 10s. a head.
But the grandeur of the Longestaffes and the too apparent wealth of the Primeros did oppress him, though he was a man who would never breathe a word of such oppression into the ear even of his dearest friend.
