Lady Winterbourne's old and delicate cheek had flushed. "I'm sure it's sincere," she said with emphasis. "Do you mean to say, Agneta, that one can't sympathise, in such an awful thing, with people of another class, as one would with one's own flesh and blood?" Miss Raeburn winced. She felt for a moment the pressure of a democratic world a hated, formidable world through her friend's question.
Yes, certainly Agneta, take her up and let her rest And you wish to speak to me afterwards? Of course, my dear, of course at any time."
On one great occasion we had Frank Matthews as prompter, and we none of us forget seeing him initiate Lady Agneta in the art of making a stage kiss. Oh! how we laughed. He cried so much during the performance that he prompted badly; but perhaps the dear man was touched by the family talent! A letter from Tom Taylor recommending plays suitable for our company will be read with interest.
The man need not steal." "Oh, charity!" cried Marcella, her lip curling. "A worse crime than poaching, you think," said Lord Maxwell, laughing. "Well, these are big subjects. I confess, after my morning with the lunatics, I am half inclined, like Horace Walpole, to think everything serious ridiculous. At any rate shall we see what light a cup of coffee throws upon it? Agneta, shall we adjourn?"
Sir Joseph married in 1798 Elizabeth Weake Rattray and had a family of four sons and one daughter, afterwards Lady Agneta Bevan. Lady Yorke died in 1812, and in 1815 he married Urania, Dowager Marchioness of Clanricarde and daughter of the twelfth Lord Winchester, who survived him.
One of these was written by Charles Yorke's brother, the second Lord Hardwicke, and dated nearly a year later, December 30, 1770; the other, dated October 20, 1772, by his widow Agneta Yorke; and the effect of them, to my mind, is not only to discredit the widely believed story of Charles Yorke's suicide, which is not even alluded to, but also to place his action from a public and political point of view in a more favourable light than that in which it is sometimes presented.
"Of course I do; I love it," said Marcella, disconcerted by the odd habit Lady Winterbourne had of fixing her eyes upon a person, and then, as it were, forgetting what she had done with them. "Oh, I haven't been there, Agneta," said the new-comer, turning after a pause to Miss Raeburn, "since that summer you remember that party when the Palmerstons came over so long ago twenty years!"
Among less important works, the Countess of Ahlefeldt issued the ballet, "Telemach und Calypso," in 1794. Julie von Pfeilschifter, born in 1840, is author of the grand ballet, "Vöglein's Morgengruss" and the dramatic scena, "Agneta," which have pleased Wiesbaden audiences; also a number of piano selections and songs.
Really! that girl." And Miss Raeburn broke off short, feeling simply that the words which were allowed to a well-bred person were wholly inadequate to her state of mind. "But if she feels it as you or I might feel such a thing about some one we knew or cared for, Agneta?" "How can she feel it like that?" cried Miss Raeburn, exasperated. "How can she know any one of of that class well enough?
Marcella won't even go up to London to have her wedding-dress fitted!" Lady Winterbourne looked up bewildered. "But I can't make her go and have her wedding-dress fitted, Agneta! And I always feel you don't know what a fine creature she is. You don't really appreciate her. It's splendid the ideas she has about this work, and the way she throws herself into it."
