Lady Glencora is very delicate, very delicate, indeed. We, who have the privilege of being near her, ought always to remember that." "I don't think she is at all delicate." "Oh! don't you? I'm afraid that's your mistake, Miss Vavasor." "I believe she has very good health, which is the greatest blessing in the world. By delicate I suppose you mean weak and infirm."
There was a debate in progress, but it seemed to Vavasor, as soon as he was able to become critical, to be but a dull affair, and yet the Chancellor of the Exchequer was on his legs, and Mr Palliser was watching him as a cat watches a mouse.
In the meantime the property should remain in the hands of John Vavasor for his use and benefit, with a lien on it of five hundred a year to be paid annually to his granddaughter Kate. In the event of George having no son, the property was to go to the eldest son of Kate, or failing that to the eldest son of his other granddaughter who might take the name of Vavasor.
Hester took to Vavasor from the first, in an external, meet-and-part sort of fashion. His bearing was so dignified yet his manner so pleasing, that she, whose instinct was a little repellent, showed him nothing of that phase of her nature. He roused none of that inclination to oppose which poor foolish Corney always roused in her.
"Well, the day before he died; it is the same thing, while he was dying, in fact. He never got out of bed afterwards." "He was not in bed at the time, Mr Vavasor. Not that it would have mattered if he had been. And he came down to dinner on that day. I don't understand, however, why you make these observations." "If you'll listen to me you will understand.
Vavasor at length found he must not continue to visit Hester so often, while not ready to go further; and that, much as he was in love proportionately, that is, to his faculty for loving he dare not do. But for the unconventionality of the Raymounts he would have reached the point long before. He began, therefore, to lessen the number, and shorten the length of his appearances in Addison Square.
I didn't mean to intrude in the way of sleeping; I didn't indeed, Miss Vavasor; only Mrs Greenow has been so kind as to say " "We are so very far out of the world, Captain Bellfield, that we always give our visitors beds." "I didn't intend it; I didn't indeed, miss!" Poor Captain Bellfield was becoming very uneasy in his agitation.
Alice came down to breakfast on that Christmas morning at Vavasor Hall without making any sign as to the letter she had received. The party there consisted of her grandfather, her father, her cousin Kate, and herself. They all made their Christmas salutations as is usual, and Alice received and made hers as did the others, without showing that anything had occurred to disturb her tranquillity.
"Wouldn't it be better to give them some fresh water?" said little Saffy, "that would make them glad." To this wisdom there was no response. When they came to the door of the concert-room, Cornelius turned into it, leaving his "friend" with his "people" to go and look at the fishes. Mr. Vavasor kept his place by the side of Hester.
She was the mistress out there as she is in here. Mr Palliser has been unreasonable. Not that it signifies." "I don't think he has been unreasonable; I don't, indeed, Miss Vavasor. He has certainly been vexed. Sometimes he has much to vex him. You see, Glencora is very young." Mr Bott also had declared that Lady Glencora was very young.
