During this time Anna spoke more than once to Mrs. Lovel as to her going. "I have been a long time here," she said, "and I'm sure that I am in Mr. Lovel's way." "Not in the least, my dear. If you are happy, pray stay with us." This was before the arrival of the brief epistle, when they were waiting to know whether they were to dismiss their guest from Yoxham, or to retain her.
Oh, heavens; what a hell of misery was this girl making for her high-born relatives! But the story of the tailor's visit to Keppel Street did not reach the unhappy ones at Yoxham till months had passed away. Mr. Goffe was very injudicious in postponing the departure of the two ladies as the Solicitor-General told Mr. Flick afterwards very plainly, when he heard of what had been done.
Whatever might be the result of the interview, she was aware that she could not improve it by asking any question from the young lord, or by hearing any account of it from him. The ice had been broken, and it would now be her object to have her daughter invited down to Yoxham as soon as possible.
He must get away from Yoxham and hurry up to London. It behoved him to keep his cousin's secret; but would he not be keeping it with a sanctity sufficiently strict if he imparted it to one sworn friend, a friend who should be bound not to divulge it further without his consent? If so, the Solicitor-General should be his friend.
She had now received two letters from her mother since she had been at Yoxham, and in each of them there were laid down for her plain instructions as to her conduct. It was now the middle of August, and it was incumbent upon her to allow matters so to arrange themselves, that the marriage might be declared to be a settled thing when the case should come on in November. Mr. Goffe and Mr.
It seemed to him to be an age, but at last the door was opened and his cousin crept into the room. When he had parted from her at Yoxham he had called her Lady Anna; but he was determined that she should at any rate be again his cousin. "I could hardly speak to you yesterday," he said, while he held her hand. "No; Lord Lovel." "People never can, I think, at small parties like that.
I never knew a boy till I saw them, Lord Lovel." "They take care to make themselves known, at any rate. But they are nice, good-humoured lads, taking after their mother. Don't tell their father I said so. Do you think it pretty about here?" "Beautifully pretty." "Just about Yoxham, because there is so much wood. But this is not the beautiful part of Yorkshire, you know.
You owe it to your honour to accept her and her husband with an open hand. Unless you can treat her with cousinly regard you should not have taken what has been given to you as a cousin. She has recognised you to your great advantage as the head of her family, and you should certainly recognise her as belonging to it. Let the marriage be held down at Yoxham.
There were, however, sundry other letters before the ceremony was performed, and among them was one in which she was asked to bring Miss Alice Bluestone down with her, so that she might have one bridesmaid over and beyond those provided by the Yoxham aristocracy.
The manufactories are creeping up to us, and we have already a large mill at Yoxham Lock. My brother has to keep two curates now. Here we are, my dear, and I hope we shall be able to make you happy." Mrs. Lovel did not like the maid, and Mr. Lovel did not like it at all. "And yet we heard when we were up in town that they literally had not anything to live on," said the parson.
