Wyndham, who had arrived overnight. Jack's jaw hardened at the news. He had not expected to find Rupert accepting his brother-in-law's hospitality. He shrugged his shoulders over the volatility of the Wyndhams, and announced curtly that he desired to see Mr. Mordaunt in private. "Will you come into the smoking-room, sir?" asked Holmes. "Certainly. But tell him I can't wait," said Jack.
But although the great families of the Wynnes, the Wyndhams, and others had come under an actual obligation to join Prince Charles if he should land, they had done so under the express stipulation that he should be assisted by an auxiliary army of French, without which they foresaw the enterprise would be desperate.
She smiled. "Oh, no, you don't bore me," she said. "Thanks awfully! It's not generally considered a family failing of the Wyndhams. Every other rascality under the sun, but not that." "What a fascinating family you seem to be!" said Olga. He made a wry face. "In a sense. Did you find Max fascinating?" He put the question carelessly; yet she suspected he had a reason for asking it.
And if, indeed,” continues the biographer of Laura Gray, “the wisest and noblest portion of that sex were in the majority, no such sentiment would exist; but while Miss Wyndhams and Mr.

He bent abruptly and kissed her. "Life's all right," he said. "And so's the world. But you've got to get used to the idea that it's not a place to stay in.

But, after all, it's not worth worrying about. We get on very nicely without it. And we wouldn't any of us sell a friend." "I'm glad to know you draw the line somewhere," Mordaunt observed. "Oh, rather!
"She will get over that," she said, with a confidence that held more of contempt than tolerance. "None of the Wyndhams are fundamentally capable of taking anything seriously for long. You must have discovered their instability for yourself by this time." "Not with respect to Chris." Was there a hint of sternness underlying the placidity of the rejoinder?
