"Enough that I like my place of refuge, my cave of Adullam, and would not change its rude ribs of limestone rock for the fair chambers of the castle of the earls of Torwood, with their broad bounds and barony. Thou, unless the foolish fever-fit be over, mayst think differently." "It was of those very possessions I came to speak," said Morton; "and I doubt not to find Mr.
I don't think Torwood and I in the least felt the incongruity of her becoming our step-mother, only that papa was making her more entirely his own. I am glad we did not mar the sunshine. It did not last long. She came home thoroughly unwell from their journey to Switzerland, and never got better.
As if to evince the rigour of her disposition, Lady Margaret, on this solemn occasion, exchanged the ivory-headed cane with which she commonly walked, for an immense gold-headed staff which had belonged to her father, the deceased Earl of Torwood, and which, like a sort of mace of office, she only made use of on occasions of special solemnity.
"He was displeased with the government, because they would not overturn in his favour a settlement of the late Earl of Torwood, by which his lordship gave his own estate to his own daughter; he was displeased with Lady Margaret, because she avowed no desire for his alliance, and with the pretty Edith, because she did not like his tall ungainly person.
"False pretences!" she cried, "what false pretences? Not that you cared for me, Torwood." "Not that I cared for you," he said, with a suppressed tone that made his voice so deep! "Not that I cared, but that Lord Torwood did Torwood is the baby upstairs." "But it is you you you Fulk!" said Emily, trying to creep and sidle up to him, white doe fashion.
My father's last marriage was on the 15th of April, 1836," he added to her. He says she quite glared at him with mortification, as if he had invented poor little Alured on purpose to baffle her; but my father breathed more freely. "And is nothing nothing to be done for my child, your own grandson?" exclaimed she, "after these years." Torwood silenced her by one of his looks.
It gave me a double sense of the reality of my boy's, peril, that she had been excited to it, and she would not hear of coming in to rest; and when I entreated her to wait till I could get the gig to drive her part of the way, she held me fast, and insisted, with all the terror of womanly shamefacedness, that, "he that Tor that Mr. Torwood should not know."
She had her chance, for Sir John Ormerod brought matters to a crisis at the next ball; and though she thought, as she said, "she had settled him," he followed it up with her guardian, and Adela was invited to a conference in the library. It happened that as she ran upstairs, all in a glow, she came on Torwood at the landing. She couldn't help saying in her odd half-laughing, half-crying voice
Meantime, do you not see that your presence is killing him? Tell me where you may be heard of?" "I shall stay at the Shinglebay Hotel till I am secure of the justice I claim," she said. "Come, my boy, since your own grandfather will not so much as look at you." Torwood walked her across the hall.
"It will come right, Torwood; I've made terms, I'm out of your way." "Not Ormerod!" he exclaimed. "Oh! no, no!" I can hear her dash of scorn now, for I was just behind my brother, but she went on out of breath "You may go on seeing her, provided you don't say a word till till she's been out two years."
