"Oh, I don't say she has laid any plans; but these things are always extemporized the moment the chance comes. You can count beforehand on the instinct of every woman who is clever and needy, and on Vizard's peculiar weakness for women out of the common. He is hard upon the whole sex; but he is no match for individuals. He owned as much himself to me one day. You are not angry with me!" "No, no.
This worthy, who was entirely in command of the expedition, collected the luggage, including Vizard's bag, and deposited it at the station. He then introduced the party to a pair-horse fly, and mounted the box. When they stopped at Bagley, Vizard suspected where they were going. When he saw the direction the carriage took, he knew it, and turned very grave indeed.
He knew this himself, and had kept clear of song: it was so full of reminiscence and stings. But now jealousy drove him to it. It was Vizard's rule to leave the room whenever Zoe or Fanny opened the piano. So in the evening that instrument of torture was always mute.
So, with no more ado, this new Mentor became Vizard's accomplice, and they agreed to get Zoe back before the Klosking could get strong enough to move with her physician's consent. As the hamper of Madeira was landed in the hall of the "Swan" inn, a genial voice cried, "You are in luck." Ashmead turned, and there was Poikilus peering at him from the doorway of the commercial room.
It was of a lady in a plain brown silk dress and a little white shawl, and a neat cap with a narrow lace border all round her face. This particular cap was out of date full sixty years; but the house had a storeroom of relics, and Fanny, with Vizard's help, soon rummaged out a cap of the sort, with a narrow frill all round.
Harrington, all this vulgar abuse confirms me in my choice: I take his arm because I have accepted his hand. I am going into Bagley with him to become his wife." This announcement took away Vizard's breath for a moment, and Ina Klosking put in her word. "You cannot do that: pray he warned. He is leading you to infamy." "Infamy! What, because he cannot give me a suit of sables?
Excuse me taking you for one of the servants. Some people have short memories, you know." This deliberate affront was duly felt, but parried with a master-hand. "Why, I am one of the servants," said he; "only I am not Vizard's. I'm yours." "In-deed!" "If you will let me." "I am too poor to have fine servants." "Say too haughty.
The bevy, with that glorious figure in the middle, seemed one glorious and rare flower. After the wedding, the breakfast; and then the traveling carriage; the four liveried postilions bedecked with favors. But the bride wept on Vizard's neck; and a light seemed to leave the house when she was gone.
"But," continued Severne, "if I hadn't, nobody would; for it is Vizard's justicing day, and the ladies are too taken up with a lord to come and meet such vulgar trifles as genius and learning and sci " "Come, come!" said Rhoda, contemptuously; "you care as little about science and learning and genius as I possess them. You won't tell me? Well, I shall find you out."
"Then I must take you into my confidence, and, with some reluctance, I own, let you know why I leave this dear, kind roof to-day." Vizard's generosity took the alarm. "No," said, "I will not extort your reasons. It is a shame of me. Your bare will ought to be law in this house; and what reasons could reconcile me to losing you so suddenly?
