"The Miss Wentworths don't approve of memorial windows, Elsworthy," he said; "and, indeed, if you think it necessary to cut off one of the chief people in Carlingford by way of supplying St Roque's with a little painted glass "
The Miss Wentworths were in the very best sitting-room which the Blue Boar contained the style in which they travelled, with a man and two maids, was enough to secure that; and the kitchen of that respectable establishment was doing its very best to send up a dinner worthy of "a party as had their own man to wait." The three ladies greeted their nephew with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
Perhaps some day we may meet again though, buried as we are in a North-country village, it isn't likely; but in any case, you have secured the grateful recollection of Yours very cordially, JESSIE BRABAZON. "P.S. Kindest regards to Sir Charles and those dear Wentworths, and a kiss for yourself, if I may venture to send you one."
In all but name indeed the leaders of this class were the equals of the peers whom they superseded. Men like the Wentworths in the north, or the Hampdens in the south, boasted as long a rent-roll and wielded as great an influence as many of the older nobles.
"Oh, I can work them easy enough," said the young man; "but I don't want to go down there just now the weather's cold, and I have a lot of engagements and a matter on hand that requires my presence here now."

"Of course, he is making love to Alice Lancaster, too, and to the new governess at the Wentworths'." "Who is that?" asked Keith, moved by some sudden instinct to inquire.
What subjugated her was the unexampled prodigality with which he poured for her the same draught of tradition of which Wentworth held out its little teacupful. He besieged her with a million Wentworths in one saying, as it were: "All these are mine for the asking and I choose you instead!"
Gerald, the clergyman of the first lot, held the family living not a very large one which belonged to the Wentworths; and Frank, who was of the second, had been educated expressly with an eye to Skelmersdale, which belonged to his aunts.
To be sure, Gerald Wentworth had gone over to the Church of Rome, which was a step too far to be compatible with the English brotherhood; but popular imagination, when puzzled and in a hurry, does not take time to master all details. Then, again, opinion wavered, and it was supposed to be the Miss Wentworths who were the agents of the coming prosperity.
