Jarndyce and Miss Summerson, she will find them of her way of thinking, and they will give her the best advice and assistance." "And, George," says the old lady, "we must send with all haste for your brother. He is a sensible sound man as they tell me out in the world beyond Chesney Wold, my dear, though I don't know much of it myself and will be of great service."
To-day she is at Chesney Wold; yesterday she was at her house in town; to- morrow she may be abroad, for anything the fashionable intelligence can with confidence predict. Even Sir Leicester's gallantry has some trouble to keep pace with her.
The discontented goose, who stoops to pass under the old gateway, twenty feet high, may gabble out, if we only knew it, a waddling preference for weather when the gateway casts its shadow on the ground. Be this as it may, there is not much fancy otherwise stirring at Chesney Wold.
Rather too proud of her good looks, and a selfish minx. But a young man who has had a good mother thinks all women are good, I guess. I was terribly cut up when she refused me; but I hate to think now what might have happened if she had accepted me!" "Why, here ten years back, a brother of mine in Michigan wrote to warn me that Harriet Chesney was coming to California to murder me.
The ship's been struck, and is all ablaze!" At the cry, Captain Chesney, Dumaresq, and I sprang to our feet and dashed out on deck. Merciful Heaven! what an appalling scene met our gaze!
'We always used to send him out to find what new move the Russians were making, was the testimony given to his genius by one of the most distinguished officers he served under." He not only exhibited the "aptitude for war" of which Colonel Chesney speaks, but it appears that he also displayed on several occasions a great deal of that personal courage for which he afterwards became so renowned.
That's what you are, and therefore it is unnecessary to tell you to keep QUIET." He flatters the gorgeous flunkey at Chesney Wold by adroitly commending his statuesque proportions, and hinting that he has a friend a Royal Academy sculptor who may one of those days make a drawing of his proportions.
When I come to write my next comedy, it will be far in advance of 'Flies in Ointment. I have learned so much of human nature, you see." Ethel winked the tears from her lids; her eyes were all the brighter for the passing shower, like a sky in April, Chesney thought. A smile was on her face, her lips were parted. As a lover Chesney was charming. She wondered how she was playing her part.
"Am I to understand, sir," says Sir Leicester, "and is my Lady to understand" he brings her in thus specially, first as a point of gallantry, and next as a point of prudence, having great reliance on her sense "am I to understand, Mr. Rouncewell, and is my Lady to understand, sir, that you consider this young woman too good for Chesney Wold or likely to be injured by remaining here?"
What long faces the "sixers" pulled as their man began to puff and slacken pace! A half-mile race is no joke, believe me; and so Chesney began to find out. Before half the distance back was covered he showed unmistakable signs of going to pieces, and a very ominous sign took to changing from one side to another at very frequent intervals. Of course we "fivers" howled with delight!
