It was astonishing that such a one as Miles Grendall should have learned his business so well and should have made himself so handy! In the meantime both Mr Broune and Lord Nidderdale came to the office, and both were received without delay. Mr Broune was the first. Miles knew who he was, and made no attempt to seat him in the same room with Mr Longestaffe.
When her reason has bade her to condemn him, her heart will not let her carry out the sentence. Mr Broune never now thought of kissing Lady Carbury; but when she spoke thus, he got up and took her hand, and she, as she pressed his hand, had no fear that she would be kissed. The feeling between them was changed.
It had been accompanied by many hopes never as yet fulfilled, and embittered by many sorrows which had been always present to her; but still the hopes were alive and the remembrance of the tyranny was very clear to her. At last the minute was over and she was bound to speak. 'Mr Broune, she said, 'you have quite taken away my breath. I never expected anything of this kind.
Mr Broune would not like to have it known about among brother editors, or by the world at large, that he had offered to marry Lady Carbury and that Lady Carbury had refused him. He had escaped; but the sweetness of his present safety was not in proportion to the bitterness of his late fears. He could not understand why Lady Carbury should have refused him!
This is a grand demonstration in honour of the Emperor, rather than a private party; and we have done nothing to offend the Melmottes. You know you wish to see the Emperor. A few minutes before they started from Welbeck Street a note came from Mr Broune, written in pencil and sent from Melmotte's house by a Commissioner. 'Don't mind what you hear; but come.
'I'll just send him a note, said Mr Broune, and he scrawled a few words at the office counter. 'I'm commissioned to pay you some money on behalf of Miss Melmotte. Those were the words, and they at once procured him admission to the sanctum. The Canadian Deputation must have taken its leave, and Sir Gregory could hardly have as yet arrived. 'What's up with the Governor? asked the young lord.
You could borrow it from your friend Broune. 'I will do no such thing, Felix. £50 or £60 would make very little difference in the expense of such a trip as this. I suppose you have some money? 'Some; yes, some.
There is hardly a more influential man in London than Mr Broune. And they declare, you know, she said, lowering the tone of her whisper as she communicated the fact, 'that his commercial articles are gospel, absolutely gospel. Then the two men were named to each other, and Lady Carbury retreated; but not out of hearing. 'Getting very hot, said Mr Melmotte. 'Very hot indeed, said Mr Broune.
Who would not buy shares in a railway as to which Mr Broune and Mr Alf would combine in saying that it was managed by 'divinity'? Her thoughts were rather hazy, but from day to day she worked hard to make them clear to herself. But she listened with all her ears. 'Of course, I mean honest as men can be in such very large transactions.
Mr Broune imparted to Mr Blake all that there was to know about the baronet, giving much counsel as to the management of the young man, and specially enjoining on the clergyman that he should on no account give Sir Felix the means of returning home.
