The stone at Shorne being close to the church door is well known to the villagers, by whom it is regarded as a curiosity. The schoolmaster was good enough to give me a photograph from which my sketch is made. But such rarities are seldom esteemed by, or even known to, the inhabitants of a place, and are passed by without heed by the constant congregation of the church.
Shorne talked of departing. Why did not Evan bravely march away? Why, he asked himself, had he come on this cricket-field to be made thus miserable? What right had such as he to look on Rose? Consider, however, the young man's excuses.
'Money is there? quoth Hamilton, respectfully. 'And there's wit, added Sir John, 'if he has half his sister's talent. 'Astonishing woman! Hamilton chimed in; adding, with a shrug, 'But, egad! 'Well, we don't want him to resemble his sister, said Lady Jocelyn. 'I acknowledge she's amusing. 'Amusing, Emily! Mrs. Shorne never encountered her sister-in-law's calmness without indignation.
On the grounds of common sense, on the grounds of propriety, and consideration of what was due to themselves, all agreed to condemn the notion of Rose casting herself away on Evan. Lady Jocelyn agreed with Mrs. Shorne; Sir Franks with his brother, and Sir John. But as to what they were to do, they were divided.
When her eyes were lifted, Ferdinand could have discovered nothing in them to complain of, had his suspicions been light to raise: nor could Mrs. Shorne perceive that there was the opening for a shrewd bodkin-thrust. Rose had got a mask at last: her colour, voice, expression, were perfectly at command.
'And how long is she to stay here? Mrs. Shorne inquired. Mrs. Melville remarking: 'Her visit appears to be inexhaustible. 'I suppose she'll stay till the Election business is over, said Lady Jocelyn. The Countess had just driven with Melville to Fallow field in Caroline's black lace shawl. 'Upwards of four weeks longer! Mrs. Melville interjected. Lady Jocelyn chuckled.

'You must know perfectly well that I entirely condemn them, replied her ladyship, who had once, and once only, delivered her opinion of the nuptials of Mr. and Mrs. Shorne. In self-defence, and to show the total difference between the cases, Mrs. Shorne interjected: 'An utterly penniless young adventurer! 'Oh, no; there's money, remarked Sir Franks.
No harmony came of it in his mind. How could he take an initiative? He walked forth on the lawn, where a group had gathered under the shade of a maple, consisting of Drummond Forth, Mrs. Evremonde, Mrs. Shorne, Mr. George Uplift, Seymour Jocelyn, and Ferdinand Laxley. A little apart Juliana Bonner was walking with Miss Carrington.
Shorne she received admonishing letters. Finally, Mr. Harry Jocelyn presented himself. In London, and without any of that needful subsistence which a young gentleman feels the want of in London more than elsewhere, Harry began to have thoughts of his own, without any instigation from his aunts, about devoting himself to business.
