"De tent for de missee," said a black, Quambo by name, who acted as under-butler to old Martin, coming forward. "Dey rest dere till de carriages come if dey like."
She was only conscious of a wide, low door, level with the bricked terrace, flanked by stone seats; that this door opened and revealed a circle of merry-voiced young people gathered around a great fireplace. As the impressive under-butler took her bags from Williams one of the group rose quickly and came toward her.
Cruger about giving her nieces lessons?" asked Hélène, carelessly striking a few chords on the piano. "Not yet," replied Von Barwig, "I am to go next week." Then he added with a little laugh, "The young ladies postpone me as long as possible." Here they were interrupted by the entrance of Denning, the under-butler, who informed Miss Stanton that her father wished to see her in the library.
The apartments for the under-butler and the fifth footman being of a most confounded low and vulgar kind at thirty-eight, Mayfair, I have been compelled, in my regard for the feelings which do them so much honour, to take on lease for seven, fourteen, or twenty-one years, renewable at the option of the tenant, the elegant and commodious family mansion, number fifteen-hundred-and-forty-two Park Lane.
Sipping a little, the lady began to recover her powers of explanation. One of those black creatures at the Fitzgibbon's had gone mad, and was running about with a big knife, stabbing people. He had killed a groom, and stabbed the under-butler, and almost cut the arm off a boating gentleman. "Running amuck with a krees," said Bailey. "I thought that was it."
"I cannot admit that," Miss Granger replied solemnly. "It is the abstract sinfulness of waste which I think of. An under-butler who begins by wasting preserved-ginger may end by stealing his master's plate." The summer went by.
He had come for the jewels; but the lady had the presence of mind to say aloud, as if to herself, that she had forgotten something, slipped out of the room, locked the door, called up the servants, and the thief who was no less a person than the under-butler was nabbed." "And the French 'oman sleeps 'ere?" said Beck, musingly. "French 'oman!
"But when I went to the pantry hatch, to see the under-butler carry up the tray, I found that the milk was on the tray; and I supposed that you had given another order." "Possibly Madame de Sully," the King said, looking at me, "gave the order to add it?" "She would not presume to do so, sire," I answered, sternly. "Nor do I in the least understand the matter.
Lord Kelso rang the bell, and in came all the servants, with William, the under-butler, at their head. "William," said his lordship, "where have you put his royal highness's parcel and his carpet?" "Please, your lordship," said William, "we think Benson have took them away with him." "And where is Benson?" "We don't know, your lordship. We think he have been come for!" "Come for by whom?"
Britling had to go to the house for instructions, and guided by the under-butler found Lady Homartyn hiding away in the walled Dutch garden behind the dairy. She had been giving away the prizes of the flower-show, and she was resting in a deck chair while a spinster relation presided over the tea. Mrs. Britling had fled the outer festival earlier, and was sitting by the tea-things.
