Rotherwood, said Emily, 'you cannot think how you gratified us all with your speech. 'Ah! I always set my heart on saying something of the kind; but I wished I could have dared to add the bride's health. 'The bride! 'Do not pretend to have no eyes, said Lord Rotherwood, with a significant glance, which directed Emily's eyes to the terrace, where Mr.
She is at Cambridge. Then this news must have been round by Clipstone! They must have known it for days past at Rocca!" exclaimed Lord Rotherwood. "No," said Mysie, "this came direct to Dolores from Gerald Underwood himself. Oh, didn't you know? I forgot, nobody was to know till Uncle Maurice gave his consent." "Consent to what?" exclaimed Ivinghoe. "To Dolores and Gerald!
Oh dear, mamma said so much to me about not telling, but I did think Cousin Rotherwood knew everything. Please- " Whatever she was going to ask was cut short by Ivinghoe's suddenly striking on the table so as to make all the cups and saucers ring as he exclaimed "If ever there lived a treacherous Greek minx!" Then, "I beg your pardon, mother." He was off: they saw him dash out of the house.
They were evidently kindly looked after, and she began to perceive that it was not such a bad place after all for them, more especially as he was in the act of building them a chapel, and one of his objects in coming to England was to find a chaplain; and as Lord Rotherwood said, he had come to the right shop, since Rockquay in the spring was likely to afford a choice of clergy with weak chests, or better still, with weak-chested wives, to whom light work in a genial climate would be the greatest possible boon.
As he was going back he heard a shout, and looking round saw Lord Rotherwood mounted on Cedric, his most spirited horse, galloping up the lane. 'Maurice! cried he, 'what is all this? they say the New Court is blown up, and you and half the girls killed, but I hope one part is as true as the other. 'Nobody is hurt but Ada, said Maurice, 'but her face is a good deal burnt.
However, it was better for Rotherwood, and when she was gone, and his occupation over with our dear Claude, his mother was always at him to let her see him married before she died. And so he let her have her way. No, don't look concerned. Lady Rotherwood is an excellent, good woman, just the wife for him, and he knows it, and does as she tells him most faithfully and gratefully.
"It is really delightful and full of fun, but I am quite sure that her name could not appear, and I do not expect leave to use it." "Shall I write and ask?" said Mysie. "Oh yes, do; if Cousin Rotherwood is always gracious, it is specially to you."
'By the bye, if Eleanor and Frank Hawkesworth manage well, they may be here in time. 'Because they are so devoted to gaiety? said Claude. 'You will say next that William is coming from Canada, on purpose. 'That tall captain! said Lord Rotherwood. 'He used to be a very awful person. 'Ah! he used to keep the spoilt Marquis in order, said Claude.
This was quite according to the wishes of Emily, who now had nothing left to desire, but that the style of dress suitable, in her opinion, to the granddaughter of the Marquis of Rotherwood, was more in accordance with the purse of the daughter of the Esquire of Beechcroft. It was no part of Emily's character to care for dress.
