Had he stepped forward and taken her in his arms it might be that all power of refusal would soon have been beyond her power. "Mr. Stanbury," she said, "you have confessed yourself that it is impossible." "But do you love me; do you think that it is possible that you should ever love me?" "You know, Mr. Stanbury, that you should not say anything further. You know that it cannot be."
We are to be married on the 10th of August, a Wednesday, and now comes my great news. Aunt Stanbury says that you are to come and stay in the house. She bids me tell you so with her love; and that you can have a room as long as you like. Of course you must come.
Lady Rowley had not repeated this to Sir Marmaduke, and was herself in doubt as to what might best be done. Girls are understood by their mothers better than they are by their fathers. Lady Rowley was beginning to be aware that Nora's obstinacy was too strong to be overcome by mere words, and that other steps must be taken if she were to be weaned from her pernicious passion for Hugh Stanbury. Mr.
"You are quite welcome, whether you marry the other one or not; welcome to take any interest you please. I have got beyond all that, Stanbury; yes, by Jove, a long way beyond all that." "You have not got beyond loving your wife, and your child, Trevelyan?" "Upon my word, yes; I think I have. There may be a grain of weakness left, you know. But what have you to do with my love for my wife?"
His visit to me was a thing of course. If Mr. Trevelyan disapproves of it, let him say so, and not send secret messengers." "Am I a secret messenger?" said Hugh Stanbury. "There has been a man here, inquiring of the servants," said Priscilla. So that odious Bozzle had made his foul mission known to them!
The truth of this statement was so evident that Miss Stanbury could not contradict it. But she had not even yet made up her mind. Ideas were running through her head which she knew to be very wild, but of which she could not divest herself. "Martha," she said, after a while, "I think I shall go away from this myself." "Leave the house, ma'am?" said Martha, awestruck.
Burgess quarrelled with the Stanbury family, how Jemima quarrelled with her own family, how, when her father died, she went out from Nuncombe Putney parsonage, and lived on the smallest pittance in a city lodging, how her lover was untrue to her and did not marry her, and how at last he died and left her every shilling that he possessed.
It is therefore useless to discuss what either of us might do in the position held by the other." "Altogether useless, Sir Marmaduke, except just for the fun of the thing." "I do not see the fun, Mr. Stanbury. I came here, at your request, to hear what you might have to urge against the decision which I expressed to you in reference to my daughter.
May there not be another mistake?" "No mistake this time, I think, my dear. Any way, Priscilla says that he is there." Now in this there was a mistake. Priscilla had said nothing of the kind. "You don't mean that he is staying at the Clock House, Aunt Stanbury?" "I don't know where he is now. I'm not his keeper. And, I'm glad to say, I'm not the lady's keeper either. Ah, me! It's a bad business.
There had come to be that sort of intimacy between the two men which grows from closeness of position rather than from any social desire on either side, and it was natural that Burgess should say a word of farewell. On the previous evening Miss Stanbury had relieved her mind by turning Mr.
