At last she went up to him, holding out again appealing hands. "Please don't tell me any more! It's all right. I just love you, Uncle Ewen and and Nora! I want to help! It makes me happy. Oh, why won't you let me!" He wavered. "You dear child!" There was a silence. Then he resumed as though feeling his way "It occurs to me that I might consult Sorell.
Cyprian's, who had so Meyrick reported helped Sorell to get Radowitz to the station in time for the two o'clock train to London. The plan, according to Benham, was to go straight to Sir Horley Wood, who had been telegraphed to in the morning, and had made an appointment for 4.30.
He was already nervously jealous of Sorell and contemptuously jealous of Radowitz. And if they could torment him so, what would it be when Constance passed into that larger world of society to which sooner or later she was bound? No, she was to be wooed and married now. The Falloden custom was to marry early and a good custom too.
Everything to do with money matters had been practically settled between her and Sorell and Uncle Ewen; and settled in Connie's way, expressed no doubt in business form. And now she was insisting firmly on the holiday visit to Rome, in spite of many protests from Uncle Ewen and Nora. It was a promise, she declared. Rome Rome was their fate.
Governor Sorell.# But in 1817, when Governor Davey grew tired of his position and resigned it, choosing rather to live an easy-going life on his estate near Hobart Town, than be troubled with the cares of office, Colonel Sorell, the new Governor, set himself with vigour to suppress these ruthless marauders. He was to some extent successful, and the young colony enjoyed an interval of peace.
"I looked for you everywhere," said Sorell, as he made his way to Constance through the crowd of departing guests in the college gateway. "Where did you hide yourself? The Lord Chancellor was sad not to say good-bye to you." Constance summoned an answering tone of regret. "How good of him! I was only exploring the garden with Mr. Falloden."
Much of the progress was due to the sensible management of Governor Sorell, who spared no effort to reform the convicts, as well as to elevate and refine the free settlers. Hence it was with great regret that the colonists saw his term of office expire in 1824.
He says his mother, Lady Laura, has a chill and can't come, but every one knows it's Connie!" She and Sorell smiled at each other. They had never had many words on the subject, but they understood each other perfectly. "What made her scratch?" asked Sorell, wondering. "Royalties," said Nora shortly, with a democratic nose in air.
Sorell says everybody likes him in college except Mr. Falloden's horrid set, who think themselves the lords of creation. They say that Otto Radowitz made such an amusing speech last week in the college debating society attacking 'the bloods. Of course they didn't hear it, because they have their own club, and turn up their nose at the college society.
He was devoted to your mother." Constance assented dumbly. "And shows already" thought the Master "some dangerous signs of being devoted to you. Poor wretch!" Aloud he said "Ah, here they come. I must get some more chairs." The drawing-room party joined them, and the gathering lasted a little longer. Sorell walked up and down with Constance. She liked him increasingly could not help liking him.
