"Uh, it would never do!" she exclaimed, to his surprise and pleasure. "Quite right," he returned. "Just what I felt. Nothing can make me so glad as to see that you think the idea as socking as I do." "Our going to Swanslea would be much better far more natural, and no one could object.
The Rectory is almost ready, and Julius means to move in another week, and I suppose Miles will carry Anne off before the year is over." "Yes, we are the only ones with no home." "Rather, we hold fast to the old home." "Not my old home." "Does not mine become yours?" "Not while ." She paused and started afresh. "Raymond, could we not live at Swanslea, if it is bought for us?" "Swanslea!
"I do not think that likely. They will delay the sale in the hope of Eleonora's marrying a rich man; besides, Mr. Charnock has set his mind upon Swanslea. I hope this is from nothing Cecil has said or done!" "Cecil wishes to part then? She has said nothing to me, but I see she has to you. Don't be annoyed, Raymond; it is in the nature of things." "I believe it is all Lady Tyrrell's doing.
"No," said Cecil, resolutely; but after a moment: "It would be inconvenient to Raymond to live so far away from the property." "Swanslea will be property too, and a ride over on business is not like strolling in constantly." "I know I shall never feel like my own mistress in a house of hers." "Still less with her close by, with the Rectory family running in and out to exchange remarks.
"The only pity is that Swanslea is no further off," returned Bessie. And so it was that Cecil, backed by her two counsellors, held her purpose, and Raymond sadly spoke of the plan of separation to Julius. Both thought Mrs. Poynsett's own plan the best, though they could not bear the idea of her leaving her own house. Raymond was much displeased.
"She can't bear the Moys betwixt the wind and her nobility." "They are the great drawback to Swansea, I confess," said Cecil. "Oh! are you thinking of Swanslea?" cried Mrs Duncombe. "Yes," said Lady Tyrrell, "she is one to be congratulated on emancipation." "Well can I do so," said Mrs. Duncombe. "Don't I know what mothers- in-law are?
Five miles off! Impossible." Cecil was silent. "My dear Cecil," he said, after a few moments' consideration, "I can understand that you felt unfortunately crowded last year, but all that is over, and you must see that we are necessary to my mother, and that all my duties require me to live at home." "You could attend to the property from Swanslea." "The property indeed! I meant my mother!"
He rode over to Swanslea with Cecil, and when he said it was six miles off, she called it four; what he termed bare, marshy, and dreary, was in her eyes open and free; his swamp was her lake; and she ran about discovering charms and capabilities where he saw nothing but damp and dry rot, and, above all, banishment. Would she have her will?
"Don't consent to that." "I said I should prefer Swanslea for ourselves." "Hold to that, whatever you do. If she moves to the village you will have all the odium and none of the advantages. There will be the same daily haunt; and as to your freedom of action, there are no spies like the abdicated and their dependents. A very clever plan, but don't be led away by it."
You know it was proposed at first, but the trustees doubted of the title; but when all that was cleared up, it turned out to be a better investment than Swanslea, and so they settled it, without much reference to her." "She will let it, of course?" "I suppose so." "You don't think she will come to the christening?" "I cannot tell; Rose has had one or two very sad letters from her.
