Why was he born the son of a small country tradesman, narrow, ignorant, and tyrannical? harassed by penury, denied opportunities while a man like Welby found life from the beginning a broad road, as it were, down a widening valley, to a land of abundance and delight? But the question led immediately to an answering outburst of vanity.
His eyes starting out of his head his crimson face his anguish, seemed to affect the other with indescribable repulsion. Welby wrenched himself free. 'That was what Miss Morrison wished to ask you. She says that when you and she last met you were not on very good terms; she shrank, therefore, from addressing you.
The rain looked as if it meant to continue, while, laden as Rose was, she could not have held up an umbrella even if she had found one ready to her hand. Her slender funds did not set her up in cabs, as she had told herself on many a weary trudge in fog and drizzle between Mr. Foy's class-rooms and Welby Square.
Of Eugénie, still a few words remain to say. About a year after Fenwick's return she lost her father. A little later Elsie Welby died. To the end of her life she had never willingly accepted Eugénie's service, and the memory of this, alack, is for Eugénie among the pains that endure. What influence it may have had upon her later course can hardly be discussed here.
She was very proud of her sister now when she came to Welby Square, and everybody, whether in Mrs. Jennings's set or in Hester's, was struck with Annie's beauty and brightness.
Fenwick listened greedily, and presently inquired whether Mr. Welby had shared in all these amusements. 'Oh yes. He was generally the life and soul of them. 'I suppose he made lots of friends and got on with everybody? Madame de Pastourelles assented cautiously. 'That's all a question of manners, said Fenwick, with sudden roughness.
The Findons had given a ball the year before for her coming-out, and she had danced through the season, haloed, Euphrosyne-like, by a charm of youth and laughter till she met Arthur Welby. Since then Euphrosyne had grown a little white and piteous, and there had been whisperings and shakings of the head amongst the grown-ups who were fond of her.
While Rosabella was thus exchanging the laurel crown for the myrtle wreath, Flora and her friend were on their way to search the places that had formerly known her. Accompanied by Mr. Jacobs, who had long been a steward in her family, Mrs. Delano passed through Savannah, without calling on her friend Mrs. Welby, and in a hired boat proceeded to the island.
No more acute and accomplished man of the world. The three hundred a year or so that you would pay for Kenelm would suit him very well. His name is Welby, and he lives in Chester Square." "No doubt he is a contributor to 'The Londoner," said the Parson, sarcastically. "True. He writes our classical, theological, and metaphysical articles.
Whenever you hear my conversion discussed in the world, say that from my own lips you heard these words, NOT FOR MY PERSONAL SATISFACTION. No! my kind regards to Welby, a, married man himself, and a father: he will understand me." ON quitting Oxford, Kenelm wandered for several days about the country, advancing to no definite goal, meeting with no noticeable adventure.
