Acting slightly on Mrs. Fordyce's advice, Miss Peck gave the girls their tea, with its delightful adjuncts of new-laid eggs and spring chicken, in her own sitting-room, and she quite prided herself on her strength of mind as she decided to advise Gladys to give them their meals by themselves, except on a rare occasion, when she might wish to give them a treat.
'Yes, but it won't be an easy task, he said gloomily. 'No, but it's your only chance a very forlorn hope, I confess, it appears to me; but you can't afford to neglect it if you want to win Gladys, and it would be a most desirable marriage. These words were the keynote to Mrs. Fordyce's plan of action.
Fordyce's brother, but it had not been lightly spoken like the daughter's chatter; and my father himself had found it only too true, so that he could not conscientiously call Griffith worthy of such a creature as Ellen Fordyce.
With these thoughts Ferrers sought Mrs. Templeton.

Lord Fordyce's fine, gray eyes gleamed. "Ah Michael, if you had ever loved a woman, you would know that when you really do, you desire to trust her to the uttermost.
Then she knew she must have been answering at random some of Lord Fordyce's remarks, for a rather puzzled look was on his face. A strong revulsion of feeling came to her. Henry suddenly appeared in his best guise and a wave of tenderness for him swept over her. How kind and courteous and devoted he was treating her always as his queen.
Bennet was glad to take his guest into the drawing-room again, and, when tea was over, glad to invite him to read aloud to the ladies. Mr. Kitty stared at him, and Lydia exclaimed. Other books were produced, and after some deliberation he chose Fordyce's Sermons.
It was determined, therefore, to try what the British musket and bayonet could effect. The cannonade ceased, and the left division of the army, under Brigadier Stacey, supported on either flank by Captains Harford and Fordyce's batteries, and Lieutenant Colonel Lane's troops of horse artillery, moved forward to the attack.
