She was quite sure that she was not in love with Larry Twentyman; but she was by no means sure that it might not be her duty to accept him without being in love with him. Of course he must know the whole truth; but she could tell him the truth and then leave it for him to decide.
She knew, that in spite of her domestic powers, she would be stricken dumb in the drawing-room at Bragton and was unhappy. Mary had another scheme in which she was less fortunate. She took it into her head that Larry Twentyman might possibly be induced to come to her wedding.
"But if you were on your oath, Mr. Twentyman? "Was there more than seven-and-sixpence an acre lost?" "No, nor five shillings," said Runciman. "I think Goarly ought to take his lordship's offer if you mean that," said Twentyman. Then there was a pause, during which more drink was brought in, and pipes were re-lighted. Everybody wished that Mr.
At the moment when she was hesitating with Larry Twentyman, when she begged him to wait six months and then at last promised to give him an answer at the end of two, she had worked herself up to think that it might possibly be her duty to accept her lover for the sake of her family.
The whole household was much disturbed that day. Mrs. Masters said nothing to Mary about Lady Ushant all the morning, but said a great deal about other things. Poor Mary was asked whether she was not ashamed to treat a young man as she was treating Mr. Twentyman. Then again it was demanded of her whether she thought it right that all the house should be knocked about for her. At dinner Mrs.
The poor man paused before he made his answer; but when he did, he made it plain enough. "I ain't good enough for her! Nor more I ain't, Mr. Morton. She was brought up in this house, Mr. Morton, by your own grand-aunt." "So I have heard, Mr. Twentyman." "And there's more of Bragton than there is of Dillsborough about her; that's just where it is.
He knew that he must now go to Patagonia, but he repented the alacrity with which he had acceded to the proposition. Whether he did marry Arabella Trefoil or whether he did not, there was no adequate reason for such a banishment. And yet he could not now escape it! It was on a Monday morning that Larry Twentyman had found himself unable to go hunting.
That was the name I heard up there. You are not Mr. Twentyman, sir?" "My name is Morton" "Morton is it; perhaps my friend's; ah ah, yes." He didn't like to say uncle because Reginald didn't look old enough, and he knew he ought not to say brother, because the elder brother in England would certainly have had the property. "I am Mr. John Morton's cousin." "Oh; Mr. Morton's cousin.
"And now, Mary, what have you got to say to me?" He looked for a moment as though he expected she would say what she had to say at once, without further question from him; but he knew that it could not be so and he had prepared his lesson further than that. "I think you must believe that I really do love you with all my heart." "I know that you are very good to me, Mr. Twentyman."
A word of encouragement would, she said, bring Larry Twentyman back to his courtship, and that word might be spoken, if Mary's visit to Cheltenham were forbidden. What did the letter signify, or all the girl's protestations? Did not everybody know how self-willed young women were; but how they could be brought round by proper usage?
