"How much money do you propose to spend on Sarah at this time?" "I do not know. I know about how much I have, but I can't tell yet how much help I shall get. I want to do what ought to be done." The last words were said with such an accent of earnest determination, that Mr. Wharncliffe again had almost smiled at his scholar; but he did not. He went on quite gravely:
Then Lord Melbourne's motion for Portuguese papers. He did not speak well but very bitterly. Goderich spoke pathetically against the Terceira affair Lord Wharncliffe well with us Lansdowne wide and loose the Duke very excellent Aberdeen worse than usual, and very imprudent, abusing Miguel and making awkward admissions.
"I wanted you to think about it." "Don't you think, Mr. Wharncliffe, it is very difficult to find out really why one does things?" "Very difficult," said Mr. Wharncliffe with a comical drawing of his lips; "but very useful." "I do not think," began Matilda again, very gravely, "I do not think my wanting to do this for Sarah was just to make myself feel comfortable."
Wharncliffe, a young private secretary with a waxed moustache, six feet of height, and a general air of superlativeness which demanded, and secured attention; a famous journalist, whose smiling, self-repressive look assured you that he carried with him the secrets of several empires; and one Sir John Headlam, a little black-haired Jewish-looking man with a limp an ex-Colonial Governor, who had made himself accepted in London as an amusing fellow, but who was at least as much disliked by one half of society as he was popular with the other.
"You may truly say, Mr Wharncliffe," observed Mr Turnbull, "that your future prosperity will be through his means; and, as it appears by the will that you have 9000 pounds per annum safe in the Funds, I think you ought to give a prize wherry, to be rowed for every year." "And I will take that," replied I, "for a receipt in full for my share in the transaction."
Wharncliffe, noting it down. "Have they a stove that will do?" "I am afraid not. I will try and find a second-hand one." "A table, and two or three chairs." Those went down in the list. "And, O, Mr. Wharncliffe, a tea-kettle! And something to cook meat in, and boil potatoes." "What do you know about cooking meat and boiling potatoes?" Mr. Wharncliffe asked, looking amused.
Well, we were all ready, and Sarah set the table, but Norton and I had to bring out the buns and gingerbread and the cheese; for I don't think she would have dared. And then the door opened once more, and in came Mr. Wharncliffe, and Sarah's mother and those two poor little imps of boys." "I don't know much about them," said Matilda. "I know they are very ragged. Of course, how could they help it?
Wrote a note to Loch to tell him of Lord Wharncliffe's intention. He does not like the idea at all, and wishes to see me before the Committee sits. I have named Monday at eleven. I told him my feeling was against his being examined, as I thought it unfair; besides, he was not the best witness. I told Lord Wharncliffe he should examine Lord Amherst.
Mary continued in a state of stupor during the journey; and when I arrived at my own house, I gave her into the charge of the gardener's wife, and despatched her husband for medical assistance. The application of Mr Wharncliffe was of little avail, and he returned to me with disappointment in his countenance.
"Really it was too kind of Lord Wharncliffe to have brought that delicate matter before Lord Derby, and to have written you about it. I thank you for the enclosures you have made to me of what Lord Wharncliffe had written to you about the C. B. "I have now to tell you something which happened about that subject since my last to you.
