Colonel Dawson took a deep interest both in Miss Stansfield and her niece. He understood them both, and pitied them both, but for very different reasons. He pitied the old lady because she was throwing away her own happiness and crippling her own usefulness.
Lescure at once agreed to accompany la Rochejaquelein to Bressuire; and the Marquis of Donnissan, Madame Lescure's father, arranged to follow them, as soon as he had seen his wife and daughter safely placed in the chateau of de la Boulais. Leigh Stansfield had ridden with Rochejaquelein during the march of the army to Vezins, and from there to Bressuire.
Stansfield had died, five years before this. Polly, the eldest girl, aged twenty, acted as mistress of the house. Next to her, at intervals of little more than a year, came Ralph and John; two strongly built young fellows, both fearless riders and good at all rustic games. What supervision the farm work got was given by them.
Price in Paper Buildings, for whom it was enough that David claimed to be Welsh and showed a very keen interest in the Welsh tongue and its Indo-German affinities, and three or four to Mr. Mark Stansfield, K.C., one of the nicest, kindliest and most learned persons David had ever met, whom he grieved deeply at deceiving. Stansfield had a high opinion of Rossiter.
In spite of what Jean had said, Leigh would have placed his band with the rest; had not Cathelineau sent for him, half an hour before, and given him orders which were almost identical with the advice of Jean. "I wish you and your band to keep out of this battle, Monsieur Stansfield.
A few days after Colonel Dawson's happy interview with Miss Stansfield and her niece, a fete was given by the Wilders at their residence, Holly House, partly for the entertainment of the children who belonged to the Sunday-school classes taught by the Misses Wilder, and partly also as a means of gathering together as many neighbouring friends and acquaintances as might be at leisure to come.
Gradually, farm after farm had been parted with; and the estate now was smaller, by half, than it had been at the beginning of the century. James Stansfield had, however, done nothing further to diminish it.
My dear, good people, football is a science if ever there was a science; the more you know of it the more you will find that out. This piece of lecturing is thrown in here for the purpose of observing that Stansfield was a model football captain.
When they reached Cathelineau's quarters Leigh would have gone on, but the general said, "Come in, if you please, Monsieur Stansfield," and he followed the party in. "This has been a trial, gentlemen, a heavy trial," the general said. "When I entered upon this work, I knew that that there were many things that I should have to endure.
"It's a plaguey nuisance, that's what it is," said Stansfield; "we are sure to get licked. Who's to play half-back instead of him, I'd like to know?" "Forrester, in the Fourth, plays a very good half-back," said Callonby; "he's tremendously quick on his feet." "Yes, but he can't kick. I've a good mind to put Wraysford in the place.
