But he would never speak to her again! As he was returning round the wood, whom should he see skulking round the corner of it but Goarly? "What business have you in here?" he said, feeling half-inclined to take the man by the neck and drag him out of the copse. "I saw you, Mr. Twentyman, and I wanted just to have a word with you." "You are the biggest rascal in all Rufford," said Larry.
When he entered the parlour he had for the moment forgotten Larry Twentyman, and was disposed to greet his girl lovingly; but he found her dissolved in bitter tears. "Mary, my darling, what is it ails you?" he said. "Never mind about your darling now, but come to breakfast. She is giving, herself airs, as usual." But Mary never did give herself airs and her father could not endure the accusation.
And I always shall be unhappy here. There's nothing else for it but going away." "If it's anything sudden, Mr. Twentyman, allow me to say that you ought not to sell your property without grave consideration." "I have considered it, very grave, Mr. Morton." "Ah, but I mean long consideration. Take a year to think of it. You can't buy such a place back in a year.
It's just the same with an obstinate pig-headed young woman." At three o'clock Mr. Twentyman came and was at once desired to go up to Mary who was waiting for him in the drawing-room. Mrs. Masters smiled and was gracious as she spoke to him, having for the moment wreathed herself in good humour so that he might go to his wooing in better spirit.
He was a little man, very neat in his attire, who liked to be above his company, and fancied that he was so in Mr. Runciman's parlour. Between him and the attorney's chair was Harry Stubbings, from Stanton Corner, the man who let out hunters, and whom Twentyman had threatened to thrash.
"You should remember how much this is to your papa and me and should speak out at once. Of course you need not tell Mr. Twentyman till the end of the time unless you like it" "I thought I was to be left alone for two months." "Mary, that is wicked. When your papa has so many things to think of and so much to provide for, you should be more thoughtful of him.
Twentyman is a very intimate friend of ours, and very kind to Dolly and Kate." "I wished so much to talk to you about the old days." "And I wish to go for your aunt, Mr. Morton; but we can't all of us have what we wish. Of course I saw that you were very angry, but I couldn't help that. Perhaps it was wrong in Mr. Twentyman to offer to walk with you." "I didn't say so at all."
Reginald Morton as though his death had been a sore loss to the neighbourhood. And there were in the country round sundry yeomen, as they ought to be called, gentlemen-farmers as they now like to style themselves, men who owned some acres of land, and farmed these acres themselves. Of these we may specially mention Mr. Lawrence Twentyman, who was quite the gentleman-farmer.
"What I want to know is this; are you prepared to marry Lawrence Twentyman?" To this question, as Mary could not give a favourable answer, she thought it best to make none at all.
Poor fellow; he wrote it himself. And now he thinks so much about it. When Dr. Fanning went back to London yesterday I think he took some message to her." Mary remained there till lunch was announced but refused to go down into the parlour, urging that she was expected home for dinner. "And there is no chance for Mr. Twentyman?" asked Lady Ushant. Mary shook her head. "Poor man!
