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.
The whole of the originals are to be found in the neighbouring churchyards of Shorne and Chalk, two rural parishes on the Rochester Road, and exhibit with all the fidelity possible the craftsmanship of the village sculptors. They will doubtless also excite some speculation as to their meaning.
Shorne, turning to Miss Current. 'Can you understand it? The Duke, my dear! Things seem to be going on in the house, that really and so openly. 'That's one virtue, said Miss Current, with her imperturbable metallic voice, and face like a cold clear northern sky. 'Things done in secret throw on the outsiders the onus of raising a scandal. 'You don't believe, then? suggested Mrs. Shorne.
I dare say Rose was at the bottom of it: she can settle it best. Defer the encounter between the boys until they see they are in the form of donkeys. They will; and then they'll run on together, as long as their goddess permits. 'Indeed, Emily, said Mrs. Shorne, 'I desire you, by all possible means, to keep the occurrence secret from Rose. She ought not to hear of it.
Shorne gave them their opportunities, albeit they were all stowed together in a carriage, and Ferdinand seemed willing to profit by them; but Rose's hand was dead, and she sat by her future lord forming the vow on her lips that they should never be touched by him. Arrived at Beckley, she, to her great delight, found Caroline there, waiting for the funeral.
Aunt Bel agreed with Lady Jocelyn that she would have liked to know the mighty tailor. Mrs. Shorne but very imperceptibly protested against the notion, and from one to another it ran. His Grace of Belfield expressed positive approval of Mel as one of the old school. 'Si ce n'est pas le gentilhomme, au moins, c'est le gentilhomme manque, said Lady Jocelyn. 'He is to be regretted, Duke.
Miss Current replied: 'I always wait for a thing to happen first. 'But haven't you seen, my dear? 'I never see anything, my dear. 'Then you must be blind, my dear. 'On the contrary, that 's how I keep my sight, my dear. 'I don't understand you, said Mrs. Shorne. 'It's a part of the science of optics, and requires study, said Miss Current.
Harry could think of but one way to do that. 'Yes, and if I do all up with the old lady, he said, and had to explain that his Grandmama Bonner would never leave a penny to a fellow who had fought a duel. 'A duel! said Mrs. Shorne. 'No, there are other ways. Insist upon his renouncing her. And Rose treat her with a high hand, as becomes you.
Lady Jocelyn enjoyed the fun, and still more the serious way in which her relatives regarded it. 'This comes of Rose having friends, Emily, said Mrs. Shorne. There would have been a dispute to arrange between Lady Jocelyn and Mrs. Shorne, had not her ladyship been so firmly established in her phlegmatic philosophy. She said: 'Quelle enfantillage!
It 's better not to let a lunatic see that you think him stark mad, and the same holds with young women afflicted with the love-mania. The sound of sense, even if they can't understand it, flatters them so as to keep them within bounds. Otherwise you drive them into excesses best avoided. 'Really, Emily, said Mrs. Shorne, 'you speak almost, one would say, as an advocate of such unions.
