To which the Dean replied that the Doctor should teach his noble brother-in-law better manners. But, upon the whole, the Dean held his own well, and was as carefully waited upon to his seat by the vergers as though there had been no scene at Scumberg's Hotel. For a time no doubt there was a hope on the part of Mr.
This was wormwood to the wretched husband, and yet he could not answer with angry, self-reliant indignation, while his brother was lying almost motionless before him. Lord George found that he could do nothing at Scumberg's Hotel.
Lord George said that he would, and was again at Scumberg's Hotel at three o'clock on the next afternoon. This was a day of no little importance to Lord George; so much so, that one or two circumstances which occurred before he saw his brother at the hotel must be explained. On that day there had come to him from the Dean a letter written in the Dean's best humour.
Now the Marquis of Brotherton had an old family house in Cavendish Square, which, however, had been shut up for the last ten or fifteen years, but was still known as the family house by all the adherents of the family. "No, my Lady. I did hear from one of the servants that they are going to Scumberg's Hotel, in Albemarle Street." Then Lady Sarah told the news to her mother.
The Marquis had his flowers, and his fruit, and his French novels on his way up to town, and kept his sorrow, if he felt it, very much to himself. Soon after his arrival at Scumberg's, at which place they were obliged to take him in as he was still paying for his rooms, he made it known that he should start for Italy in a day or two.
Then there came tidings from London, unauthorised tidings, and, one may say, undignified tidings, but still tidings which were received with interest. Mrs. Toff had connections with Scumberg's, and heard through these connections that things at Scumberg's were not going on in a happy way. Mrs.
He has come up to town now merely because Brotherton sent to him, and when he went to Scumberg's the Marquis would not see him. He is just like his sisters, priggish, punctilious and timid." "He has said something nasty to you," remarked her husband, "or you would not speak of him like that." She had certainly said something very nasty to him.
He asked his father-in-law to accompany him, but the Dean said that he would speak a word or two further to Mr. Battle and remained. At his club Lord George was much surprised to find a note from his brother. The note was as follows: "Would you mind coming to me here to-morrow or the next day at 3. "B. Scumberg's Hotel, Tuesday." This to Lord George was very strange indeed.
He had already received a letter worded in friendly terms from the Bishop, asking him whether he would not wish to make some statement as to the occurrence at Scumberg's Hotel which might be made known to the clergymen of the Cathedral.
Perhaps the ladies there did not know as much of his habits as did Mrs. Walker at Scumberg's. Perhaps the feeling was strong that Popenjoy was Popenjoy, and that therefore the Marquis had been injured. If a child be born in British purple, true purple, though it may have been stained by circumstances, that purple is very sacred.
