"But now he is here " Then she stopped herself, rose from the sofa, sat down, and then rising again, stepped up to her lover, who rose at the same moment, and threw herself into his arms and put up her lips to be kissed. "This won't do at all," said Silverbridge. Miss Cassewary clasped her hands together and looked up to heaven. She probably had never seen such a thing done before.
"Where's the governor?" he asked, turning to his sister. "Dressing, I should think; but what is the matter?" "I want to see him. I must be off to Cornwall to-morrow morning." "To Cornwall!" said Miss Cassewary. "Why to Cornwall?" asked Lady Mabel. But Mary, connecting Cornwall with Frank Tregear, held her peace. "I can't explain it all now, but I must start very early to-morrow."
What could be so nice as a marriage between the heir of the house of Omnium and Lady Mabel Grex? Lady Mabel looked indeed to be the elder, but they were in truth the same age. All the world acknowledged that Lady Mabel was very clever and very beautiful and fit to be a Duchess. Even the Earl, when Miss Cassewary hinted at the matter to him, grunted an assent.
"Who am I?" said Miss Cassewary. "About the dearest friend that ever a poor girl had. It is hard upon you, and upon me. I have given up everything, and what good have I done?" "It is hard, my dear." "But after all I do not care much for all that. The thing has been going on so long that one is used to it." "What is it then?" "Ah; yes; what is it? How am I to tell you?"
"But what would be the feeling as to the convict's granddaughter?" "You don't suppose that I would approve it; but it seems to me that in these days young men do just what they please." "He shall do what he pleases, but he must be made to be pleased with me." So much she said to Miss Cassewary; but she did not divulge any plan.
Poor Lady Mabel was at this time with Miss Cassewary at Grex, paying what she believed would be a last visit to the old family home. Among the others were two American girls, brought into that august society for the sake of courtesy rather than of personal love. And there were two other Palliser girls and a Scotch McCloskie cousin. The breakfast was of course given by Mr.
He could not say what he had to say in the presence of Miss Cassewary, nor could he ask her to take herself off in another direction. Nor could he take himself off. Now that he had joined himself to these two ladies he must make with them the tour of the gardens. All this made him cross. "These kind of things are a great bore," he said.
I said to myself 'Love your neighbours. 'Don't be selfish. 'Do unto him as you would he should do unto you, that is, think of his welfare. Though I had him in my net, I let him go. Shall I go to heaven for doing that?" "I don't know," said Miss Cassewary, who was so much perturbed by the news she had heard as to be unable to come to any opinion on the point just raised.
"Do you not like her?" asked the Duke. "Very much indeed," said Mary. "Then let us fix a day and ask them. If you will come to me after dinner with an almanac we will arrange it. Of course you will invite that Miss Cassewary too?" The complication seemed to be very bad indeed.
Year after year when the London season was over she would come down to Grex and spend a week or two amidst its desolation. She was now going on to a seat in Scotland belonging to Mrs. Montacute Jones called Killancodlem; but she was in the meanwhile passing a desolate fortnight at Grex in company with Miss Cassewary.
