I assure you there has been some pains taken in my education, although I can neither sew a tucker, nor work cross-stitch, nor make a pudding, nor as the vicar's fat wife, with as much truth as elegance, good-will, and politeness, was pleased to say in my behalf do any other useful thing in the varsal world." "And was this selection of studies Rashleigh's choice, or your own, Miss Vernon?" I asked.
Nobody plays croquet except old tab I mean ladies who are too old to do anything else. Miss Bruce plays sometimes when she has the vicar's wife to tea. We hide behind the bushes and watch them and shake with laughter. Croquet, indeed! I should like to see Tom's face if you mentioned croquet to her!"
The Vicar's son himself perhaps about to confess his sins! understood very little of the subject matter, save from the extravagant gestures of the participants.
"An Englishman's house is his castle, of course, but I do wish they built semi-detached villas with moats and drawbridges." Ruth she was the parlour-maid and had red hair came in and said that two gentlemen wanted to see the master. "I've shown them into the Library, Sir," said she. "I expect it's the subscription to the Vicar's testimonial," said Mother, "or else it's the choir holiday fund.
"She will not have a soul to call her own, poor thing!" thought Morna, as indignantly as though the imaginary evil was one of the worst that could befall; for the vicar's wife had her little weaknesses, not by any means regarded as such by herself; and this was one of the last things that could have been said about her, or that she would have cared to hear.
The Senior Tutor was there too "the grave man, nicknamed Adam" and the Vicar's wife, seated in a bee-hive straw chair, knitting. So we four talked happily for a while, until she left us on pretence that the dew was falling; and with that, as I have said, a wonderful silence possessed the garden fragrant with memories and the night-scent of flowers. . .
A few days before, Lydgate would have taken no notice of these words as anything more than the Vicar's usual way of putting things. They seemed now to convey an innuendo which confirmed the impression that he had been making a fool of himself and behaving so as to be misunderstood: not, he believed, by Rosamond herself; she, he felt sure, took everything as lightly as he intended it.
Owing to the want of concert between them, the vicar's impulsive strength was expended when his wife's came into play. Alice clutched her mother bravely. There are few young ladies who could pull fourteen stone sheer up a camshot. Mrs. Amble remained in suspense between the two. Oh, Mr.
I think I shall claim a sitting." This was the Vicar's decision on the Monday morning, and from that decision the two ladies were quite unable to move him. This occurred a day or two after the affair of the rubies, and at a time when Mary was being very hard pressed to name a day for her wedding. Of course such pressure had been the result of Mr. Gilmore's success on that occasion.
Thornburgh's mind was now addressed, it would clearly have been the opinion of the vicar's wife that they ought to do so. 'Who else is there to look after these girls, I should like to know, Mrs. Thornburgh inquired of herself, 'if I don't do it? As if girls married themselves!
