'Oh yes, replied Sir Harry; 'Watchorn will manage all that. We'd better have a hunt soon, and then, Mr. Jogglebury Crowdey was to get rid of Mr. Sponge. 'No; Mr. Bugles won't go out any more, replied Lady Scattercash peremptorily. 'He was nearly killed last time'; her ladyship casting an angry glance at her husband, and a very loving one on the object of her solicitude.
Lady Scattercash, with several elegantly dressed females, all with cigars in their mouths, were conversing with them from the open drawing-room windows above, while sundry good-looking damsels ogled them from the attics above. Such was the tableau that presented itself to Mr. Sponge as he cantered round the turn that brought him in front of the Elizabethan mansion of Nonsuch House.
'I'll soon make you, replied her ladyship, seizing the squab, and pulling it on to the floor. As the captain was scrambling up, in came Peter one of the wageless footmen with candles, which having distributed equitably about the room, he approached Lady Scattercash, and asked, in an independent sort of way, what room Mr. Soapsuds was to have. 'Soapsuds!
'Ah he looks like a man to be on good terms with his uncle, sneered Captain Bouncey. 'Make no doubt he pays him many a visit, observed Seedeybuck. 'Indeed! that's all you know, snapped Lady Scattercash. 'It's not all I know, replied Seedeybuck. 'Well, then, what else do you know? asked she. 'I know he has nothing, replied Seedey. 'How do you know it?
Watchorn placed an inscription, stating that it was presented to him by Sir Harry Scattercash, Baronet, and the noblemen and gentlemen of his hunt, in admiration of his talents as a huntsman and his character as a man. Mr. Sponge then became still more at home.
'Lucky if he is one, retorted Captain Ladofwax, reddening up to the eyes; 'he may have a chance of repairing somebody's daylights. The captain raising his saucer, to discharge it at his opponent's head. 'Gently with the cheney! exclaimed Lady Scattercash, who was too much used to such scenes to care about the belligerents.
Sponge's modified kisses, revealing the truth more eloquently than words could convey. 'Oh, Lady Scattercash was 'so glad! 'so delighted! 'so charmed! Mr. Sponge was such a nice man, and so rich. She was sure he was rich couldn't hunt if he wasn't. Would advise Lucy to have a good settlement, in case he broke his neck.
'Indeed, my dear, replied Lady Scattercash, who was sitting gloriously fine and very beautiful at the head of the table, 'I don't know anything about it. 'Who is it from? asked brother Bob Spangles. 'Mr. 'What a name! exclaimed Captain Seedeybuck. 'Who is he? asked Captain Quod. 'No doubt, assented Captain Cutitfat, adding, 'what business has he with the hounds?
However, like all untried men, he was strong in the confidence of his own ability, and the sight of his smiling charmer chased away all prudential considerations as quickly as they arose. He made no doubt there would something turn up. Meanwhile, he was in good quarters, and Lady Scattercash having warmly espoused his cause, he assumed a considerable standing in the establishment.
'What makes you think that? asked Lady Scattercash, coming again to the charge. 'He has nothing, replied Fat coolly. ''Deed, but he has a very good property, too, replied her ladyship. 'In Airshire, I should think, rejoined Fat. 'No, in Englandshire, retorted her ladyship: 'and great expectations from an uncle, added she.
