"I really don't know," May answered, with an anxious fold in her forehead "Surely he, too, isn't quite poor?" "I hardly think he is wealthy. Isn't it just possible that something may depend upon the marriage ?" Mrs. Toplady's voice died away in a considerate vagueness. But May was not at all disposed to leave the matter nebulous.
"Do you remember our talk in the supper-room at Mrs. Toplady's? when we agreed that nothing was more foolish than false modesty. Shall I venture to tell you, now, that, if this marriage came about, it would be something like ruin to my career? You won't misunderstand.
Constance took the newspaper and Breakspeare's note. As she read, her firm-set lips relaxed a little. She handed the papers back with a nod. "Has Lady Ogram heard?" Dyce asked. "Yes; she had a letter this morning, and I have answered it. She was pleased So far, so good. You have had Mrs. Toplady's card for the evening of the 13th?" "I have."
Toplady's spittle still; a champion worthy of their cause. Journal, p. 58. In a letter published in Jan. 1780, he said: 'I insist upon it, that no government, not Roman Catholic, ought to tolerate men of the Roman Catholic persuasion. They ought not to be tolerated by any government, Protestant, Mahometan, or Pagan. To this the Rev.
Slowly he raised his eyes, until they met Mrs. Toplady's. The two looked steadily at each other. "Are you speaking of me?" Dyce inquired, in a low voice. "Of whom else could I be speaking, Mr. Lashmar?" "Then Miss Tomalin has taken you entirely into her confidence?" "Entirely, I am happy to say. I am sure you won't be displeased.
I hope this is not true; it has a very unpleasant sound." Quite as unpleasant, thought Dymchurch, was Mrs. Toplady's zeal in spreading the rumour. He found no difficulty in crediting it. The bio-sociological theory had occupied his thoughts for a time, and, in reflecting upon it now, he found it as plausible as any other; but it had no more power to interest him.
But when he found himself, reluctantly, yet as it seemed inevitably, setting forth to Mrs. Toplady's "At Home," the reasonable man in him grew restive. Why was he guilty of this weakness? Years had passed since he did anything so foolish as to leave home towards the middle of the night for the purpose of hustling amid a crowd of unknown people in staircases and drawing-rooms.
Toplady's, that evening. I know my own qualities, and see no use in pretending that I don't. But what are we talking about! Of course you care nothing for Dymchurch. I know that very well. If you did, you wouldn't be here." He ended on a little laugh of triumph, and therewith, catching hold of both her hands, he drew her gently forward, looked close into her face, murmured "May! My beautiful May!"
Iris desired to know all about the secretary, and Lashmar described a neutral-tinted, pen-wielding young woman, much interested in social reform. "Perhaps I shall come to know Lady Ogram," said Iris, modestly. "I may meet her at Mrs. Toplady's. That would be delightful! I should be able to follow everything much better." "To be sure," was the rather dry response.
