'Besides fiddle! nonsense! exclaimed Tuckham in the mildest interjections he could summon for a vent in society to his offended common sense; 'the better your men the worse your mark. You're not dealing with an intelligent people. 'There's the old charge against the people. 'But they're not. You can madden, you can't elevate them by writing and writing. Defend us from the uneducated English!
'I'm afraid we can't do that. 'But where do you draw the line? quoth Tuckham, very susceptible to a sneer at the colonel, and entirely ignorant of the circumstances attending Beauchamp's position before him. 'You defend the Chinaman; and it's questionable if his case is as good as the Spaniard's. 'The Chinaman has a case against our traders. Gibraltar concerns our imperial policy.
When he stepped into his carriage, and stood up in it to wave adieu to her, she thought his face and figure a perfect example of an English gentleman in his prime. Captain Baskelett requested the favour of five minutes of conversation with Miss Halkett before he followed Mr. Austin, on his way to Steynham. She returned from that colloquy to her father and Mr. Tuckham.
'Were you able to gather from Captain Beauchamp's remarks whether he is much disappointed by the result of the election? said Cecilia. Mr. Tuckham could tell her only that Captain Beauchamp was incensed against an elector named Tomlinson for withdrawing a promised vote on account of lying rumours, and elated by the conquest of a Mr. Carpendike, who was reckoned a tough one to drag by the neck.
'The best of it is and I take this for the strongest possible proof that Beauchamp is mad Shrapnel stands for an advocate of morality against him. I'll speak of it.... Mr. Tuckham nodded to the colonel, who said: 'Speak out. My daughter has been educated for a woman of the world. 'Well, sir, it's nothing to offend a young lady's ears. Beauchamp is for socially enfranchising the sex that is all.
I called here six times, and walked and talked with you. Cecilia set her face to the garden. Her heart had entered on a course of heavy thumping, like a sapper in the mine. Pain was not unwelcome to her, but this threatened weakness. What plain words could she use? If Mr. Tuckham had been away from the house, she would have found it easier to speak of her engagement; she knew not why.
The father could speculate with good hope of Jenny's child. Cecilia's wealth, too, had gone over to the Tory party, with her incomprehensible espousal of Tuckham. Let it go; let all go for dowerless Jenny! The voyage was favourable. Beauchamp had a passing wish to land on the Norman coast, and take Jenny for a day to Tourdestelle.
Austin, the victim of an unhappy love in his youth, and unhappy about her, as her father had said. Seymour Austin was not one to spread the contagion of intrigue! She felt herself caught by it, even melting to feel enamoured of herself in consequence, though not loving Beauchamp the more. 'This newspaper, if it's not merely an airy project, will be ruination, said Tuckham.
'We could carry him with us. 'Yes, but I should wish to be entirely under your tutelage in Rome. 'We would pair: your father and he; you and I. 'We might do that. But Mr. Tuckham is like you, devoted to work; and, unlike you, careless of Antiquities and Art. 'He is a hard and serious worker, and therefore the best of companions for a holiday.
Tuckham could not stay. 'No, said her father; 'he could not. He has to be back as quick as he can to cut his legacy in halves! Cecilia looked perplexed. 'I'll speak plainly, said the colonel. 'He sees that Nevil has ruined himself with his uncle. The old lady won't allow Nevil to visit her; in her condition it would be an excitement beyond her strength to bear.
