She might well have favoured a wounded knight with a visit. 'She is not to blame. It is my own fault, sighed Rowland. The marquis looked at him for a moment pitifully, but made no answer, and presently took his leave. He went straight to Dorothy, and expostulated with her. She answered him no farther or otherwise than was simply duteous, but went at once to see Scudamore.
"Your captain refers to me for orders," said Admiral Darling to Scudamore, while they were hastening to the Hall, "as Commander of the Coast Defence, because he has been brought too far inshore, and one of the Frenchmen is stranded. The frigate you boarded and carried is the Ville d'Anvers, of forty guns.
However, I thought it was proper to give myself a few Airs so I said to her "This is all very pretty Lady Scudamore, but you know that we young Ladies who are Heiresses must not throw ourselves away upon Men who have no fortune at all."
He grew desperate, and so one night summoned up courage as they stood together waiting for the next dance. 'Why will you never talk to me, cousin Dorothy? he said. 'Is it so, Mr. Scudamore? I was not aware. If thou spoke and I answered not, I am sorry. 'No, I mean not that, returned Scudamore. 'But when I venture to speak, you always make me feel as if I ought not to have spoken.
Scudamore, who was scanning every face with the crafty glance of a man who fears for his life, hastily interposed. "You see, gentlemen, you see the contemptuous face with which he receives your offer, you see how proudly, how scornfully he looks down upon you, as if it would be a disgrace to him to recognize such worthy men as judges.
He stood straight up, gave one yell, and tumbled over. Scudamore ran towards the mare, hoping to catch her and be off ere the roundhead could recover himself. But, although Bishop had fallen on his leg, Richard was unhurt. He lay still and watched. Lady seemed bewildered, and Rowland coming softly up, seized her bridle, and sprung into the saddle.
"I am glad you think so replied she, for he is distractedly in love with you." "Law! Lady Scudamore said I, how can you talk so ridiculously?" "Nay, t'is very true answered she, I assure you, for he was in love with you from the first moment he beheld you."
This route passes through groves of magnificent timber and by the string of delightful ponds that give the place its name. The road that hugs the Plain on its western side goes almost directly north from Warminster and, passing Upton Scudamore, reaches Westbury in less than four miles.
The Earl of Wellington, confiding in the natural courtesy of the French nation, trusts that officers of that service will, if applied to, assist Captain Scudamore in any way in their power, and he will feel personally obliged to them by their so doing." Tom expressed his deep gratitude for this, which might, he foresaw, be of inestimable advantage to him.
Come and see them, all with Cheeseman's brand, the celebrated Cheeseman of Springhaven name guarantees the quality. But one thing, mind you no use to hanker after them unless you come provided with the ready." "We don't want your goods; we want you," answered Scudamore, now first luff of the brig of war Delia, and staring a little with his mild blue eyes at this man's effrontery.
