Miss Mackenzie explained that she was staying at Twickenham, but that she had come up to pay a visit to her sister-in-law. "And I've a word or two I want to say to you, Mr Rubb, if you'll allow me." "I suppose, then, I'd better make myself scarce," said Miss Colza.
For the last day or two she had been expecting the return of Mr Rubb, junior keeping herself a prisoner, I fear, during the best hours of the day, so that she might be there to receive him when he did come; but though she had so acted, she had quite resolved to be very cold with him, and very cautious, and had been desirous of seeing him solely with a view to the mercantile necessities of her position.
Now in London, you don't know your next neighbour, though you and he have lived there for ten years." "Nor here either, unless chance brings you together." "Ah; but there is none of that horrid decorum here," said Mr Rubb. "There's nothing I hate like decorum. It prevents people knowing each other, and being jolly and happy together.
On this occasion he talked more to his partner's daughter than to his partner's sister, and promised to tell her mamma how well she was looking, and that the air of Littlebath had brought roses to her cheeks. "I think it is a healthy place," said Miss Mackenzie. "I'm quite sure it is," said Mr Rubb. "And you like Mrs Crammer's school, Susanna?"
As she was not asked to stay, she did make herself scarce, taking the children with her up among the tables and chairs in the drawing-room. There she found Mary Jane, but she did not find Mrs Mackenzie, who had thrown herself on the bed in her agony upstairs. Then Miss Mackenzie told her wretched story to Mr Rubb, telling it for the third time.
"She will marry whom she pleases; but I suppose you don't want to see her money go to the Balls." "I shouldn't care a straw where her money went," said Thomas Mackenzie, "if I could only know that this sum which we have had from her was properly arranged. To tell you the truth, Rubb, I'm ashamed to look my sister in the face." "That's nonsense.
John Ball said never a word, and Samuel Rubb hurried across the grounds to the railway station. Showing How the Third Lover Behaved "What has that man been here for?" Those were the first words which Mr Ball spoke to his cousin after shutting the hall-door behind Mr Rubb's back.
Thus she had reduced the number to six, and had calculated that the bottle would certainly be good for that number, with probably a second glass for the doctor and Mr Rubb. But Grandairs had not condescended to be put out of his way by such orders as these.
But when this gentleman tells me that his excellent parent warned him against the fascination of cards, I cannot but ask him to remember those precepts to his dying bed." "I won't say what I may do later in life," said Mr Rubb. "When he becomes like you and me, Mrs Fuzzybell," said Miss Todd. "When one does get older," said Mr Rubb. "And has succeeded in throwing off all decorum," said Miss Todd.
Such were Mr Slow's feelings on the matter, and then he dismissed the subject from his mind. The next day, about noon, Miss Mackenzie was startled almost out of her propriety by the sudden announcement at the drawing-room door of Mr Rubb. Before she could bethink herself how she would behave herself, or whether it would become her to say anything of Mr Slow's letter to her, he was in the room.
