Vansittart at the station on the arrival of the train. "The moon is rising now, my lady a half-moon," said the porter approaching with that leisureliness which characterizes railway porters between trains. "Why does your stupid train not come?" asked Mrs. Vansittart, with unreasoning anger. "It has been signalled, my lady; a few minutes now." Mrs.
Vansittart Merceron's at the Court again, mamma." "Yes, dear. Lady Merceron told me he was coming. She wanted to consult him about Charlie." "She's always consulting him about Charlie, and it never makes any difference." Mrs. Bushell looked up from her needlework; her hands were full with needle and stuff, and a couple of pins protruded from her lips.
Then he saw Mrs. Vansittart and Dorothy, and recognized them. "Give your luggage ticket to the hotel porter and let him take it straight to the hotel. You are wanted elsewhere." Still Major White was only in his normal condition of mild and patient surprise. He had only met Mrs. Vansittart once, and Dorothy as often.
Without making any reply, he instantly ordered his boat, and did not return to the AMAZON till he could tell them that their wish was effected. The fleet sailed on the 12th of March. Mr. Vansittart sailed in it; the British Cabinet still hoping to attain its end by negotiation.
Vansittart shook hands with Cornish in silence, her quick eyes noted the change in him which the shrewd butler had noticed in the entrance-hall. The Cornish of a year earlier would have gone back to the hotel to dress. "I was just going out to the Witte society concert," said Mrs. Vansittart. "I thought the open air and the wood would be pleasant this evening. Shall we go or shall we remain?"
I am nervous, I suppose. I have allowed myself to give way to panic like a child in the dark. I felt lonely in Park Straat, with a house full of servants, so I came to you." "I think there is going to be a thunderstorm," said Dorothy. And Mrs. Vansittart broke into a sudden laugh. "I knew you would say that.
There is no intoxication so dangerous as that of success, and none that leaves so bitter a taste behind it. "Of course," he said, "no girl ever thinks that her brother can succeed in such a case. I suppose you dislike Mrs. Vansittart?" "No; I like her, and I understand her, perhaps better than you do. I should like nothing better than that she should marry you, but " "But what?"
In him was represented the domestic policy of Pitt in his earlier days, as Pitt's financial views were represented in Huskisson, who had actually served under him. Though Huskisson was only made president of the board of trade, in January, 1823, and not chancellor of the exchequer, it is certain that his mind controlled that of Robinson, who succeeded Vansittart in that position.
By this time Clive had returned to England, and the direction of the destinies of the East India Company was in the hands of the Governor, Mr. Vansittart, a well-meaning man whose views were not the views of Clive. Clive objected very much to the course which the East India Company were pursuing.
Among the other things that contributed to make those Florence days very pleasant ones, we did a good deal in the way of private theatricals. Our impresario at least in the earlier part of the time, was Arthur Vansittart. He engaged the Cocomero Theatre for our performances, and to the best of my remembrance defrayed the whole of the expense out of his own pocket.
