The people would have the management of their own money, and that he considered a good thing, for they were never satisfied till they had the control over it. When the party left, all the people of Western Australia were longing to do honour to and entertain Colonel Warburton; and, although they were a small people, they did their best, and what they did they did heartily.
Her son having said that he feared she was not so well as usual, Mrs. Warburton quietly admitted that she had recently consulted her doctor. "I am not young, Will, you know. Sixty-five next birthday." "But you don't call that old!" exclaimed her son. "Yes, it's old for one of my family, dear, None of us, that I know of, lived to be much more than sixty, and most died long before.
Warburton, whose heart was warm with his legacy and tender by the recent separation, thought it proper for him to interpose, and undertook, not indeed to vindicate the action, for breach of trust has always something criminal, but to extenuate it by an apology.
"You must help me to nurse him; you ought to be a good nurse." "I don't think I am; I've been told I'm not; I'm said to have too many theories. But you haven't told me about the ghost," she added. Ralph, however, gave no heed to this observation. "You like my father and you like Lord Warburton. I infer also that you like my mother."
He made one the last time I was in Rome, and then I thought it my duty to disappear. Now I think it's my duty to stop and defend her." "My dear Touchett, your defensive powers !" Lord Warburton began with a smile. But he saw something in his companion's face that checked him. "Your duty, in these premises, seems to me rather a nice question," he observed instead.
Alice, with both elbows on the table, listened with wide-awake eyes, and Eva watched the raindrops trickle clown the pane with an intent expression, as if asking herself if she had ever done this naughty thing. "Then there is another fault," continued Mrs. Warburton, well knowing that her first shot had hit its mark, and anxious to be just.
Miss Warburton is necessary to my existence." "All in two or three days, is she?" Charlie observed sarcastically. "Yes." "Well, father, as we're talking straight, let's talk straight. I'm going to take her from you. It's a very little help I'm asking you for, and that you should refuse is a bit thick. I shall speak to the mater." "And what shall you say?"
She explained: she told the story rather coolly, Warburton thought, but she left out no detail. "You have James to thank for my safety, father. He was very calm and clear-headed." Calm and clear-headed! thought Warburton. The girl then entered the house, humming.
"Let me get it for you," cried Warburton. "Nothing easier. I noticed the kettle by the kitchen fire." "Oh, I cannot allow, you, Mr. Jollyman you are too kind I feel so ashamed " But Will was already in the kitchen, where he bestirred himself so effectually that in a few minutes the kettle had begun to sing.
It cost him therefore a lapse from consistency to say explicitly that he yearned for Lord Warburton and that if this nobleman should escape his equivalent might not be found; with which moreover it was another of his customary implications that he was never inconsistent. He would have liked his wife to glide over the point.
