An old-world eye upon women, it seemed to Weyburn. But the man who could crown a long term of cruel injustice with the harshness to his wife at Steignton would naturally behold women with that eye. However, he was allowed only to generalize; he could not trust himself to dwell on Lady Ormont and the Aminta inside the shell.
'I suspect you've more than your match in young Weyburn, Mr. Morsfield, Lady Charlotte said, measuring them as they stood together. They turned at last. 'You shall drive back to town with me, Rowsley, said the fighting dame. She breathed no hint of her triumph. After refusing to quit the grounds of Steignton, in spite of the proprietor, Mrs.
He ought to have been in his father's footsteps, and he would then have disciplined or quashed his fantastical ideas. Perhaps he was right on the point of toning the Memoirs here and there. Since the scene at Steignton Lord Ormont's views had changed markedly in relation to everybody about him, and most things. Weyburn came back at the end of an hour to say that he had left the address with Mrs.
'No place on earth is equal to Steignton for me. It 's got the charm. Here at Olmer I'm a mother and a grandmother the "devil of an old-woman" my neighbours take me to be. She hasn't been to Steignton, either. No, and won't go there, though she's working her way round, she supposes. He'll do everything for his "Aminta," but he won't take her to Steignton. I'm told now she's won Lady de Culme.
She alighted, scorning help; Weyburn at her heels. The earl nodded to him politely and not cordially. He was hardly cordial to Lady Charlotte. That had no effect on her. 'A glorious day for Steignton, she said. 'Ah, there's the Buridon group of beeches; grander trees than grow at Buridon. Old timber now. I knew them slim as demoiselles. Where 's the ash? We had a splendid ash on the west side.
News of the fugitives was obtained at the rampant Red Lion in Dudsworth, nine miles on along the London road, to the extent that the Earl of Ormont's phaeton, containing a lady and a gentleman, had stopped there a minute to send back word to Steignton of their comfortable progress, and expectations of crossing the borders into Hampshire before sunset.
'Do you mean to say, Rowsley, you have gone and married the woman since we came up from Steignton? 'She is my wife. 'Anyhow, she won't have our family jewels. 'If you had swallowed them, you'd have to disgorge. 'I don't give up our family jewels to such people. 'Do you decline to call on her? 'I do: I respect our name and blood.
To look on Steignton for once was now Aminta's phrasing of her sudden resolve; it appeared as a holiday relief from recent worries, and it was an expedition with an aim, though she had but the coldest curiosity to see the place, and felt alien to it.
After I married I came to understand that the world we are in is a world to fight in, or under we go. But I pity the young who have to cast themselves off and take up arms. Young women above all. Why had she no pity for Aminta? Weyburn asked it of his feelings, and he had the customary insurgent reply from them. 'You haven't seen Steignton yet, she continued.
'And in that case I shall never have seen Steignton at all, she said, with perfect calmness, and did not attempt to sound her meaning. She did know that she was a magazine of a great storage of powder. It banked inoffensively dry.
