But he did not come; nay, more, he wrote plainly that there was no prospect of his coming for the present.
Her father admitted the likeness, but protested against her levity, as this gentleman was his most trusted adviser, inherited with his title and estates. The Earldom of Ancester had always been in the habit of consulting Mr. Hawtrey about all sorts of things, not necessarily legal. So when Gwen was sent for to her father's sanctum, and went, she was not surprised to hear that he had given Mr.
