'Unless, said Mr. Mohun, smiling, 'as Rotherwood would say, Jupiter will interfere. Well, Jupiter has begun to take measures, and has asked Mrs. Weston to look out for a governess. Eh! Claude? he continued, after a pause, 'you set up your eyebrows, do you? You think it will be a bore. Very likely, but there is nothing else to be done.
She is proud of Mohun blood, and the Rotherwood connection and all, and if there were a desperate opposition -well, she would be rather flattered, and give in; but I am not sure that she would not always regret it, and pine after what she might have had. 'Rotherwood likes the man. 'Like -but that's not liking him to marry his cousin. 'Rotherwood will not be the person most shocked. 'No.
Lance struck up, by request, an old-fashioned country dance; Lord Rotherwood insisted that "Lily" should dance with him, as the remnant of forty good years ago or more, and with Sir Roger de Coverley the day ended.
'We might play after our walk -and after tea; but it had to be quiet play, not real good games, even before Fly was ill -at least we did have some real games when Primrose came over, or when Cousin Rotherwood had us down in his study or in the hall; but Fly got tired, and knocked up very soon even then.
She and Quenrede had always been favorites in the school. In pre-war days they had been allowed to give delightful parties at Rotherwood to their form-mates, and though that had not been possible during the last five years, everybody knew that their beautiful home had been lent to the Red Cross, and admired their patriotism in thus giving it for the service of the nation.
Maurice displayed to Jane the contents of two phials, strange little creatures, with stranger names, of which he was as proud as Reginald of his three fine trout. Lord Rotherwood did not appear till he had made himself look like other people, which he did in a surprisingly short time.
"I can fancy seeing no harm in it for little girls," said Lady Merrifield, "but I don't like giving them a talent the use of which seems to be to enable them to show off." "And I know that Lady Rotherwood would not approve," said Miss Mohun, aware that this settled the matter. "And here's another outsider, Miss Penfeather, who offers to interpret handwriting at two-and- sixpence a head."
It was Valetta who made the most objection. She declared that it was not fair that Mysie, who had been to the ball at Rotherwood, should go again to live with lords and ladies, while she went to a nasty day-school with butchers' and bakers' daughters. She hoped she should grow horridly vulgar, and if mamma did not like it, it would be her own fault! Mrs.
There was a silence, and Lord Rotherwood made an observation upon the wind. Vera perceived an awkwardness, and, by way of repairing it, afterwards thought it expedient to communicate to Lady Phyllis that it might be a pity she had said "Hubert." It was so awkward, only he was such an old acquaintance. "I should have thought the awkwardness was incurred long ago," said Lady Phyllis.
In spite of all our knocking about the world, our family exclusiveness is pretty much what ours was in the old Beechcroft days 'When Rotherwood and Robert Mohun were out only outsiders and the Westons came on us like new revelations! 'It is curious to look back on, said Lady Merrifield.
