On one occasion they climbed by dry torrent courses five miles into the mountains, baby and all, on horseback and donkeyback "such a congregation of mountains; looking alive in the stormy light we saw them by." It was certainly a blessed transformation of the prostrate invalid in the upper room at Wimpole Street.
"I am sorry if I discovered anything you didn't want known yet," said Helen, "but the door was open. Mr. Wimpole had just left you and had not shut it, and I could not help seeing." Marion interrupted her with an eager exclamation of enlightenment. "Oh, you were there, then," she cried. "And you?" she asked eagerly "you thought Phil cared for me that we are engaged, and it hurt you; you are sorry?
I am sorry to observe that the book I send you is marked very irregularly; that is, marked in some places, unmarked in others, just as I happened to be near or far from my pencil and inkstand. Otherwise I should have liked to compare judgments with you. Keep the book as long as you please; it is my own. To H.S. Boyd 50 Wimpole Street: April 2, 1842.
When in Cambridgeshire the Queen and the Prince visited Lord Hardwicke at Wimpole, where the whole county was assembled at a ball, and Earl De la Warr at Bourne. In this month of October the great agitator for the repeal of the Irish Union, Daniel O'Connell, was arrested, in company with other Irish agitators, on a charge of sedition and conspiracy.
She found they had left Herne Hill; if this letter reached him, would not Edmund come and see her at her house in Wimpole Street? Misery of solitude, desire for a woman's sympathy and counsel, impelled him to use this opportunity, little as it seemed to promise.
Philip was standing in the centre of the stage, surrounded by many pretty ladies and elderly men. Wimpole was hovering over him as though he had claims upon him by the right of discovery. But when Philip saw Helen, he pushed his way toward her eagerly and took her hand in both of his. "I am so glad, Phil," she said.
That gentleman was leaning against the wall regarding the whole scene with a great deal of gloom; but, I fancied, with very particular gloom when his eyes fell on the young lady of the house rapturously listening to Wimpole. "May I have a word with you outside, Drummond?" asked Grant. "It is about business. Lady Beaumont will excuse us."
"If I had thought of anything so futile, I should find it difficult to keep my countenance." "Difficult to keep your countenance," cried Mr Wimpole, with an air of alarm; "oh, do keep your countenance! Keep it in the British Museum."
'Bout a month ago I used to groan to myself and think what a fool I was to leave my comfortable pantry in Wimpole Street to come on what I called a wild-goose chase; but I came round and made up my mind as it was a sort o' duty to the guv'nor and you gents, and though I can't say I like it, for the smells are horrid, and the way the people live and how they treat other people disgusting, I'm getting regular used to it.
'Tis too good a joke to lose, when times are dull, as they get to be as a man's years go on." He sent for her woman and laid strange new commands on her. "Where hath she hitherto been kept?" he asked. "In the west wing, where are the nurseries, and where Mistress Wimpole abides with Mistress Barbara and Mistress Anne," the woman answered, with a frightened curtsey.
