When she marries, I will surrender every thing I possess, save a stipend, into her hands, and Evelyn and Mabel and I to some extent will be her pensioners thereafter. Until that time, matters will stand as they do now." "Folly, folly, Colonel Monfort!
Ladies! Mr. Bainrothe! fill your glasses. Franklin, the sherry. Morton, the port. Which will you have, Bainrothe? or do you prefer Rhine wines?" "A glass of Hockheimer, if you have it convenient, Franklin. Those heavy wines are too heating for our summers, I think, Mr. Monfort. You yourself would do well to follow my example." "Thank you," said my father, loftily.
The Cincinnati Daily Gazette says: "'Miriam Monfort, which now lies before us, is less sensational in incident than its predecessor, though it does not lack stirring events an experience on a burning ship, for example. Its interest lies in the intensity which marks all the characters good and bad.
Take pattern by your elder sister, Miss Miriam Monfort, and you will do well."
My father, Reginald Monfort, was an English gentleman of good family, who, on his marriage with a Jewish lady of wealth and refinement, emigrated to America, rather than subject her and himself to the commentaries of his own fastidious relatives, and the incivilities of a clique to which by allegiance of birth and breeding he unfortunately belonged.
This woman was telling me of the presence of a little child in the house, and I have desired permission to see it by way of diversion and occupation. I have asked her to apply to Dr. Englehart." "The child shall come to you, Miss Monfort, whenever you wish," said Mrs. Clayton, with ill-disguised eagerness.
Monfort seemed to have imbibed for his neighbor and friend, and which his physicians said must be regarded. Allusion was made, not unmixed with bitterness, in Mr. Stanbury's note, to this assertion of hers, which he pronounced, if true, to rest on the misrepresentations of villains who had interposed between the too confiding Mr. Monfort and himself for no good purpose.
So it pained me infinitely less than it must have done had a different order of things ever existed, to see her supreme at Monfort Hall, and to feel that every thing emanated from her hand. Of all the servants, old Morton alone seemed to feel the difference. Mrs. Austin had always openly preferred Evelyn to me, and Mabel to either so that matters worked very well between those three.
Go at once, then, Franklin, for a smith, and let him put a massive bolt on the pantry-door, and I will be jailer of Monfort Hall in future, in your absence, for I am quite sure some one was trying that lock last night. I came to the dining-room for water just before daylight, and heard it distinctly."
There was only an expression at times, as he bore you off, that seemed to tell me that all my efforts to win you were vain. I can't see why you lay such stress on the matter at all, Miss Monfort." He had evidently the gentleman's true reluctance to make mischief. "Lieutenant Raymond, I simply dislike to be placed in a false position, or grossly misinterpreted or misrepresented.
