So was passed the first evening after our Griselda had left the Cedars. The next day she sat at home doing nothing, still talking to Hannah Protheroe, and thinking that perhaps John Ball might come. But he did not come. She dined downstairs, at one o'clock, in the same room behind the kitchen, and then she had tea at six.
'You must not talk to me like that, Mr. Protheroe, Bertha said, with great coldness. 'Like what, my dear? asked the ingenious Lane. 'Like that, Mr. Protheroe, replied Bertha. 'I think it so often, that I'm afraid I'm bound to say it sometimes; but, if it offends, I hope you'll forgive me. You know you are my darling, don't you?
In height and reach they were nearly equal, and, if Thistlewood's weight and muscle were in his favour, Protheroe was as active as a cat. And here might have been recorded a bit of history to warm the blood of such as love and remember the old-fashioned manhood of England.
Davis, Protheroe, Romilly, and Hunt, were duly and regularly proposed and seconded by their respective friends, and each having addressed the electors, the show of hands was taken by the Sheriffs, and declared by them "to have fallen upon Mr.
"A most respectable man, in the Admiralty branch, Miss Margaret, and will have a pension of twenty-seven shillings and sixpence a week in a year or two. And it is so lonely by oneself, you know." Then Miss Mackenzie knew that Hannah Protheroe intended to become Hannah Buggins, and she understood the whole mystery of the tobacco smoke.
The expenses of Sir Samuel Romilly's election could not have been less than twenty thousand pounds, it might have been more, for it will be recollected that eight thousand were subscribed in one day at the meeting held at the Crown and Anchor in London; so that for every vote given to Sir S. Romilly it cost at least ten pounds a man; and for every vote given to Davis and Protheroe, supposing the number to have been 3,000 and the expenses of each 30,000l. every vote must have cost twenty pounds a man; while any whole expenses, thither and back, and while I retrained there, did not exceed twenty-five pounds, about a shilling for each vote.
'Maybe he didn't set such store by what you told him as to tek it in earnest? 'Oh, said the girl, languidly and indifferently, 'he knew I meant it. 'And didn't seem to care? My dear, you're talkin' of Lane Protheroe! 'He cared for a minute, perhaps, Bertha said, her assumed indifference and languor tinctured with bitterness by this time.
But I will repeat now what I unequivocally stated at the time, that, had the Committee and the friends of the Knight possessed half the liberality and honesty that he did, and practised one-tenth of the fairness that was shewn upon all occasions by Sir Samuel, I have no doubt but he would have been elected with myself, instead of Mr. Davis and Mr. Protheroe.
Neither of them perceived it. Senator Josephus Battle passed on, but when Alonzo Rawson emerged, a few moments later, he was pledged to utter a few simple, straightforward and vigorous words in favour of the bill. And let the shame fall upon the head of the scribe who tells it he had kissed Mrs. Protheroe!
"Yes ma'am," he answered confusedly, too much occupied with shaking her hand to know what he said. She spoke one word in an undertone to the driver and the machine took the very shortest way back to the city. After this excursion, several days passed, before Mrs. Protheroe came to the State house again.
