I'm not going to throw myself at Lord Rufford's head so as to lose my chance here; but we'll go and see how the land lies. Of course you'll go, mamma." "If you think it is for your advantage, my dear." "My advantage! It's part of the work to be done and we may as well do it. At any rate I'll tell him to accept. We shall have this odious American with us, but that can't be helped."
After that the Senator's conduct was discussed, and they all agreed that in the whole affair that was the most marvellous circumstance. "They must be queer people over there," said Larry. "Brutes!" said Glomax. "They once tried a pack of hounds somewhere in one of the States, but they never could run a yard." There was a good deal of wine drank, which was not unusual at Lord Rufford's dinners.
She began gradually to understand various things; why Arabella Trefoil had been so anxious to come to Mistletoe just at this time, why she had behaved so unlike her usual self before Lord Rufford's arrival, and why she had been so unwilling to have Mr. Morton invited. The Duchess was in her way a clever woman and could see many things.
What followed seemed to have no connecting sequence for the other players. Too restless to lose more than one bet in the place he had chosen, Judson tried to rise, tangled his feet in the chair, and fell down, laughing uproariously. When he struggled to the perpendicular again, after two or three ineffectual attempts, he was fairly behind Rufford's stool.
The Senator would be delighted to have an opportunity of saying what he thought about Goarly at Lord Rufford's table. After that, before this weary letter could be written, he was compelled to see his grandmother and explain to her that she had been omitted. "Of course, ma'am, they did not know that you were at Bragton, as you were not in the carriage at the 'meet." "That's nonsense, John.
The story of Lord Rufford's infidelity had been told to Mrs. Connop Green, and of course through her to Mr. Connop Green. Both the mother and daughter affected to despise the Connop Greens; but it is so hard to restrain oneself from confidences when difficulties arise!
The freight wreck in the Crosswater Hills, coming a fortnight after Rufford's arrest and deportation to Copah and the county jail, rudely marked the close of the short armistice in the conflict between law and order and the demoralization which seemed to thrive the more lustily in proportion to Lidgerwood's efforts to stamp it out.
But as they again discussed the matter that night the opinion gained ground upon them that the Senator had been an emissary from the enemy. Lord Rufford's Invitation On that same Wednesday afternoon when Morton returned with the ladies in the carriage he found that a mounted servant had arrived from Rufford Hall with a letter and had been instructed to wait for an answer.
The letter, in its envelope, was in her right hand. Leonora did not at first perceive it. She said: "What are you doing so late?" The girl answered: "Just thinking." They seemed to think in whispers and to speak below their breaths. Then Leonora's eyes fell on the envelope, and she recognized Mrs Rufford's handwriting. It was one of those moments when thinking was impossible, Leonora said.
The question of course arose whether he was not a spy sent out by Lord Rufford's man of business, and Mrs. Goarly was clearly of opinion that such had been the nature of his employment. Had he really been a friend, she suggested, he would have left a sovereign behind him. "He didn't get no information from me," said Goarly. "Only about Mr. Bearside." "What's the odds of that? They all knows that.
