Indeed Mrs Proudie had been so engaged at the very time that Mr Slope had been doing the same with her husband at Puddingdale Vicarage, and had thus in a measure committed herself. Such incense as this was not unpleasing to Mrs Proudie, and she made the most of it.
'Twas in vain that their cautious mother tried to instil into their breasts the very feeling she had striven to banish from that of their father; 'twas in vain that she repeated to the girls that 'there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip'; 'twas in vain she attempted to make the children believe that they were to live at Puddingdale all their lives.
With the object of carrying this point he rode over to Puddingdale, and had a further interview with the worthy expectant of clerical good things. Mr Quiverful was on the whole a worthy man.
And his lordship is not the man to forget anyone whom he has once marked with approval. If you would allow me to advise you as a friend " "Indeed, I shall be most grateful to you," said the poor vicar of Puddingdale.

"It's Mr. Slope," she said.
