But she could not, she said, go on the morrow; she had an invitation to drink tea at the Stanhopes which she had promised to accept. She would, she added, go with her father on the next day, if he would wait; or she would follow him. 'The Stanhopes! said Dr Grantly; 'I did not know you were so intimate with them. 'I did not know it myself, said she, 'till Miss Stanhope called yesterday.
But he flew in a rage and threatened to have us all arrested if we didn't clear out, so we had to drop it. But I'll tell you one thing, Dick; I'll wager Crabtree's up to no good." "Oh! he might possibly turn over a new leaf." "Not he; it isn't in him. He was always a sneak, like Baxter, only a bit more high-toned, outwardly." "I am anxious to know if he is aware where the Stanhopes have gone to?"
She kept her promise, and he found with her management that he had more money than a married man required, and he blessed the day in which he had married by mistake. And now to return to the Stanhopes.
She put her own through her father's arm, coming up behind his back, and then tendered her hand also to the vicar of St. Ewold's. "And how did you come?" said Mr. Harding, when the first greeting was over. "The Stanhopes brought me," said she; "their carriage was obliged to come twice, and has now gone back for the signora." As she spoke she caught Mr.
The great family characteristic of the Stanhopes might probably be said to be heartlessness; but the want of feeling was, in most of them, accompanied by so great an amount of good nature that their neighbours failed to perceive how indifferent to them was the happiness and well-being of those around them.
"The Stanhopes have ever been true and loyal, I have heard you say, and this marriage may help to wipe the traitor stain from our escutcheon." "True, my daughter," said the old man, but it was said very sadly, for he knew it was not thus he had chosen her mother, or been accepted by her.
"But I hate to think of Crabtree being around to molest the Stanhopes." "And especially Dora," grinned Tom. "Right you are, Tom, and I am not ashamed to admit it to you. But please don't don't well, make fun of it to me any more." "I won't, Dick." Tom gave his brother's hand a squeeze under the table. "Dora is all right, and if some day I get her for a sister-in-law I won't complain a bit."
He did not make love to her, nor sigh, nor look languishing; but he was amusing and familiar, yet respectful; and when he left Eleanor at her own door at one o'clock, which he did by the bye with the assistance of the now jealous Slope, she thought he was one of the most agreeable men, and the Stanhopes decidedly the most agreeable family, that she had ever met.
"Bryce Denning is very angry at what he evidently considers his sister's mesalliance." "If Mr. Stanhope is connected with the English Stanhopes, the mesalliance must be laid to his charge." "Indeed the Dennings have some pretenses to good lineage, and Bryce spoke of his sister 'disgracing his family by her contemplated marriage." "His family!
The abuse of other people, and abuse of a nature that she felt to be unjust, imposed that necessity on her, and at last made Mr Slope's defence an habitual course of argument with her. From Mr Slope the conversation turned to the Stanhopes, and Mrs Grantly was listening with some interest to Eleanor's account of the family, when it dropped out that Mr Slope was one of the party.
