'And you have got a fine topic for mouthing, Mr. Romfrey rejoined. 'You mean to sit still under Dr. Shrapnel's forgiveness? 'He's taken to copy the Christian religion, has he? 'You know you were deluded when you struck him. 'Not a whit. 'Yes, you know it now: Mrs. Culling 'Drag in no woman, Nevil Beauchamp! 'She has confessed to you that Dr.
The revulsion of her feelings enlightened her so far as to suggest, without enabling her to fathom him, that instead of having cleverly swayed Lord Romfrey, she had been his dupe, or a blind accomplice; and though she was too humane a woman to think of punishing him, she had so much to forgive that the trifles daily and at any instant added to the load, flushed her resentment, like fresh lights showing new features and gigantic outlines.
Rosamund saw tears leap out of the stern face of her dearest now in wrath with her. 'Is he ill? she faltered. 'He is. You own to a strong dislike of him, do you not? 'But not to desire any harm to him. 'Not a whipping, Mr. Culbrett murmured. Everard Romfrey overheard it. He had allowed Mrs.
Lord Romfrey pronounced these words with a sober emphasis that struck the humour of it sharply into Rosamund's heart, through some contrast it presented between Nevil's aim at the world and hit of a man: the immense deal thought of it by the earl, and the very little that Nevil would think of it the great domestic achievement to be boasted of by an enthusiastic devotee of politics!
It required Louise Wardour-Devereux's apologies and interpretations to account for what appeared to Cecilia strangely ill-conditioned, if not insane, in Lady Romfrey's behaviour.

A family passion for land, that survives a generation, is as effective as genius in producing the object it conceives; and through marriages and conflicts, the seizure of lands, and brides bearing land, these sharp-feeding eagle- eyed earls of Romfrey spied few spots within their top tower's wide circle of the heavens not their own.
The brother was got over for a curtain, before the husband arrived in pursuit. They say the trick Captain Beauchamp played his cousin Cecil, to get him out of the house when he had made a discovery, was monstrous fiendishly cunning. However, Lady Romfrey, as that woman appears to be at last, covered it all.
The mounting of the sun behind threw an obscurer gloom, and gradually a black mask overcame them, until the rays shot among their folds and windings, and shadows rich as the black pansy, steady as on a dialplate rounded with the hour. Mr. Everard Romfrey embraced this view from Steynham windows, and loved it.
He vowed that my lord was the noblest figure in the whole assembly; that it had been to him the most moving sight he had ever witnessed; that Nevil should have been there to see it and experience what he had felt; it would have done old Nevil incalculable good! and as far as his grief at the idea and some reticence would let him venture, he sighed to think of the last Earl of Romfrey having been seen by him taking the seat of his fathers.
Cecilia flung her arms round his neck. 'Oh! papa. 'I don't want to make him out worse than he is, my dear. I own to his gallantry in the French sense as well as the English, it seems! It's natural that Romfrey should excuse his wife. She's another of the women who are crazy about Nevil Beauchamp.
