If Walter could have married Anne seven years ago there would have been no dreadful Lady Cayley; and if she could have married poor Charlie she would not have had to think of him as "poor Charlie" now. It had been hard on him. That was precisely what poor Charlie was thinking. And if that sister-in-law was to come between them, too, it would be harder still.
Bill would have said "No," but that was because he had had breakfast with Cayley, and lunch with him, and dinner with him; had ragged him and played games with him. Bill would have said "No," because Bill wouldn't have killed anybody in cold blood himself, and because he took it for granted that other people behaved pretty much as he did. But Antony had no such illusions.
"Yes, I can remember that. Cartwright in Wimpole Street. Did Cayley go to him too, by any chance?" "I expect so. Oh, yes, I know he did. But what on earth " "What was Mark's general health like? Did he see a doctor much?" "Hardly at all, I should think. He did a lot of early morning exercises which were supposed to make him bright and cheerful at breakfast.
He evidently saw through Quarles's reticence, and knew that the professor would not speak before him. "It will be evening before we reach Whiteladies," Quarles went on, "because there is an important inquiry we must make in London first." "Very well," said Sir Michael. "I will delay until to-morrow night." "There can be no harm in that," Cayley said. "We are given forty-eight hours.
This was in the closing days of the French monarchy, and the ascent of the Montgolfiers' first hot-air balloon in 1783 which shall be told more fully in its place put an end to all French experiments with heavier-than-air apparatus, though in England the genius of Cayley was about to bud, and even in France there were those who understood that ballooning was not true flight.
A coat and skirt and a pair of walking shoes had been removed from her mistress's wardrobe. "What made you inspect her wardrobe?" I asked. The question seemed to confuse her, but she finally said it was because she wondered whether Miss Eva had gone away on purpose. According to Perry the affair with Edward Cayley was a serious one.
"Are you coming?" "Yes," said Antony, and finished his drink. He looked at Cayley. "I've just got one or two little things to do," said Cayley. "I shan't be long following you." "Well, good night, then." "Good night." "Good night," called Bill from half-way up the stairs. "Good night, Tony." "Good night." Bill looked at his watch. Half-past eleven.
Gillingham," said Cayley, standing up too. "It is for you to make allowances for me. I'm sure you will. You say that you're going up to the inn now about your bag?" "Yes."

"Can we get to the village that way, or must we go by the road?"
I'll make it up directly we come upstairs, and hide it under the bed." "Yes.... I think we'd better go completely to bed ourselves. We shan't take a moment dressing again, and it will give him time to get safely into the passage. Then come into my room." "Right.... Are you ready?" "Yes." They went downstairs together. Beverley Takes the Water Cayley seemed very fond of them that night.
You were horrified, and you pulled me back so that I shouldn't see her." "There's nothing in that, nothing whatever." "If you'd seen your own face, Mr. Hannay, you would have said there was everything in it." "My face, dear Mrs. Majendie, does not prove that they met.
