That statesman seemed never better than when the gale ran high. Affairs in France began to assume the complexion that the Count of Ferroll had prophetically announced. If a crash occurred in that quarter, Lord Roehampton felt that all Europe might be in a blaze. Affairs were never more serious than at the turn of the year. Lord Roehampton told his wife that their holidays must be spent in St.
"Well, I must say," said Lord Roehampton, "if I were a clergyman I should be a Roman Catholic." "Then you could not marry. What a compliment to Lady Roehampton!" "Nay; it is because I could not marry that I am not a clergyman." Endymion had taken Adriana down to dinner. She looked very well, and was more talkative than usual.
"Mike spoke to me of a pessimistic poem he has in mind; did he ever speak to you about it, Escott?" "I think he said something once, but he did not tell me what it was about. He can speak of nothing now but a nun whom he has persuaded to leave her convent. I had thought of having some articles written about convents, and we went to Roehampton.
During his latter days, he became rather inaccessible; but an East Englishman always had a better chance of successfully approaching him than any one not so fortunate as to have been born within the compass of East Anglia. Mr. Theodore Watts discovered this when Borrow and he were the guests of Dr. Hake at Roehampton. “When I went on to tell him,” writes Mr.
If the minister of your country has such an intimation to make to ours, he should address himself to the proper quarter, to Lord Roehampton." "I understand," said Prince Florestan; "but governments, like individuals, sometimes shrink from formality.

He tried to speak calmly, but his face was white. "There is one chance. You said there was an aeropile ?" "On the Roehampton stage, Sire." "Smashed?" "No. It is lying crossways to the carrier. It might be got upon the guides easily. But there is no aeronaut ." Graham glanced at the two men and then at Helen. He spoke after a long pause. "We have no aeronauts?" "None."
Then what was to be done after luncheon? Would he ride, or would he drive? And where should they drive and ride to? But Lord Roehampton did not much care to drive, and was tired of riding. He would rather walk and ramble about Hainault. He wanted to see the place, and the forest and the fern, and perhaps hear one of those nightingales that they had talked of in Portland Place. But Mrs.
He complimented him and confuted his opponent, and, not satisfied with demolishing his arguments, Lord Roehampton indulged in a little raillery which the House enjoyed, but which was never pleasing to the more solemn organisation of his rival. No language can describe the fury of Waldershare as to the events of this evening.
That will give him position, and be no mean addition to his income, you know, if we last but that depends, I suppose, on Mr. Jorrocks." Lady Roehampton communicated all this to her brother on her return to London. "It is exactly what I wished," she said. "I wanted you to be private secretary to a cabinet minister, and if I were to choose any one, except, of course, my lord, it would be Mr. Wilton.
"So, dearest Adriana," said Lady Roehampton, "we will drive out together at three o'clock. I will call on you." And Adriana disappeared. "You know it?" said Lady Montfort when they were alone. "Of course you know it. Besides, I know you know it. What I have come about is this; your brother must be in the new parliament."
