Stantiloup will have succeeded in her wickedness." THE school and the parish went on through August and September, and up to the middle of October, very quietly. The quarrel between the Bishop and the Doctor had altogether subsided. People in the diocese had ceased to talk continually of Mr. and Mrs. Peacocke.
It is my purpose to disclose the mystery at once, and to ask you to look for your interest, should you choose to go on with my chronicle, simply in the conduct of my persons, during this disclosure, to others. You are to know it all before the Doctor or the Bishop, before Mrs. Wortle or the Hon. Mrs. Stantiloup, or Lady De Lawle.
Talbot's hands, which it did through his wife, he spoke of Mrs. Stantiloup in language which shocked his wife considerably, though she was not altogether unaccustomed to strong language on his part. Mr. Talbot and the Doctor had been at school together, and at Oxford, and were friends. I will give now a letter that was written by the Doctor to Mr.
Stantiloup and beyond the Bishop, and think what Justice demands?" "The boys would all be taken away. If you had a son, would you send him where there was a schoolmaster living, living . Oh, you wouldn't." It is very clear to the Doctor that his wife's mind was made up on the subject; and yet there was no softer-hearted woman than Mrs.
Do you think it would have no effect with such a woman as Lady Anne Clifford, to be told that the Bishop had censured my conduct severely? If it had not been for Mrs. Stantiloup, the Bishop would have heard nothing about it. It is her doing. And it pains me to feel that I have to give her credit for her skill and her energy." "Her wickedness, you mean."
Though she had her ideas as to what it was to be a Bishop's wife, she had never yet been quite able to act up to them. "I know that young Talbot is to leave," said Mrs. Stantiloup. "I wrote to Mrs. Talbot immediately when all this occurred, and I've heard from her cousin Lady Grogram that the boy is not to go back after the holidays." This happened to be altogether untrue.
Peacocke, he would have been quite willing to pass the matter over in silence among his friends; but as it was he could not afford to hide his own light under a bushel. He was being punished almost to the extent of ruin by the cruel injustice which had been done him by the evil tongue of Mrs. Stantiloup, and, as he thought, by the folly of the Bishop.
Puddicombe, absolutely not daring to decide in such an emergency without consulting some friend. Mr. Puddicombe would hold his peace if he were to promise to do so. Certainly he might be trusted to do that. But others would know it; the Bishop would know it; Mrs. Stantiloup would know it.
There was no sending backwards or forwards of food or of clothes, unless it might be when some special delicacy was sent in if a boy were unwell. For these no extra charge was ever made, as had been done in the case of young Stantiloup. Then a strange doctor had come, and had ordered the wine and the carriage.
After a hot morning with 'tupto' in the school, there will be 'amo' in the cool of the evening." And this was absolutely sent to him by some good-natured friend! The funny writer obtained a popularity wider probably than he had expected. His words reached Mrs. Stantiloup, as well as the Doctor, and were read even in the Bishop's palace.
