The week next to this was Easter-week. "I heard you were going into Northamptonshire." "From Lady Laura?" "Yes; from Lady Laura." "I intend to spend three days with Lord Chiltern at Willingford. It is an old promise. I am going to ride his horses, that is, if I am able to ride them." "Take care what you are about, Mr. Finn; they say his horses are so dangerous!"
Phineas left London by a night mail train on Easter Sunday, and found himself at the Willingford Bull about half an hour after midnight. Lord Chiltern was up and waiting for him, and supper was on the table.
"I shall be obliged and grateful if you will remember what I have said." Then he left her, and she sat alone, first in the dusk and then in the dark, for two hours, doing nothing. Was this to be the life which she had procured for herself by marrying Mr. Kennedy of Loughlinter? If it was harsh and unendurable in London, what would it be in the country? The Willingford Bull
When they got back to the Willingford Bull he felt pleased with the day and rather proud of himself. "It wasn't fast, you know," said Chiltern, "and I don't call that a stiff country. Besides, Meg is very handy when you've got her out of the crowd. You shall ride Bonebreaker to-morrow at Somerby, and you'll find that better fun." "Bonebreaker? Haven't I heard you say he rushes like mischief?"
Bunce's house, and Phineas Finn went down to Willingford and brought him up. "I've sold Bonebreaker," he said, "to a young fellow whose neck will certainly be the sacrifice if he attempts to ride him. I'd have given him to you, Phineas, only you wouldn't have known what to do with him."
When there, he insisted on being taken on through Stamford to the Willingford Bull before he would have his bones set, picking up, however, a surgeon at Stamford. Phineas remained with him for a couple of days, losing his run with the Fitzwilliams and a day at the potted peas, and became very fond of his patient as he sat by his bedside.
He's down there at the Bull, and I've taken a little box close by. I can't stand the governor's county for hunting." "And will your wife go down to Willingford?" "Of course she will, and ride to hounds a great deal closer than I can ever do. Mind you come, and if there's anything in the stable fit to carry you, you shall have it."
"No; I have not changed my mind," said Phineas, quickly. "How stands it then? Come; let us be honest to each other. I told you down at Willingford that I would quarrel with any man who attempted to cut me out with Violet Effingham. You made up your mind that you would do so, and therefore I quarrelled with you. But we can't always be fighting duels." "I hope we may not have to fight another."
"That detestable prig whom she has chosen to marry, and whom I hate with all my heart, is richer than ever Croesus was; but nevertheless Laura ought to have her own money. She shall have it some day." "I would see Lord Brentford, if I were you." "I will think about it. Now tell me about coming down to Willingford. Laura says you will come some day in March.
Should the Duke give her any opportunity she would take a very short time in letting him know what was the extent of her ambition. Lord Chiltern at Saulsby Lord Chiltern did exactly as he said he would do. He wrote to his father as he passed through Carlisle, and at once went on to his hunting at Willingford.
