Mr Dobbs Broughton had led the way energetically with old Lady Demolines. There was no doubt about Lady Demolines, as his wife had told him, because her title marked her. Her husband had been a physician in Paris, and had been knighted in consequence of some benefit supposed to have been done to some French scion of royalty, when such scions in France were royal and not imperial.
It was a large mansion, if not made of stone yet looking very stony, with thirty windows at least, all of them with cut-stone frames, requiring, let me say, at least four thousand a year for its maintenance. And its owner, Dobbs Broughton, a man very well known both in the City and over the grass in Northamptonshire, was supposed to have a good deal more than four thousand a year.
Indeed, it might have been surmised, from a word or two which Mrs Broughton allowed to escape, that she considered poor Conway to be more than ordinarily afflicted in that way. Miss Van Siever at first only pouted, and said that there was nothing in it.
"Mrs Broughton," said Clara, thoughtful of her raiment, and remembering that it might not be well that she should return home, even in a cab, dressed as Jael; "if you will allow me, I will go into your room for a minute or two." "Certainly, Clara," said Mrs Broughton, preparing to accompany her.
On that day she did not see Miss Le Smyrger, but on the following morning, knowing that Captain Broughton had gone off, having heard the wheels of the carriage as they passed by the parsonage gate on his way to the station, she walked up to the Combe. "He has told you, I suppose?" said she. "Yes," said Miss Le Smyrger. "And I will never see him again unless he asks your pardon on his knees.

In boyhood Charles's face had a merry, mutinous, rather reckless expression, as portraits prove. Yet no man has, in disguises of his person, been more successful.
Samuel Marsden, who was chaplain in New South Wales for more than forty years, bequeathed 200l. and gave a piece of land to promote the erection of a second church here; but for one reason or another, no progress had been made towards this desirable end, and in a letter dated January 1842, Bishop Broughton stated his resolution to commence the good work, even with the scanty resources at his disposal, hoping that the sight of a building in progress would awaken the liberality, and stir up the hearts of those that were able to contribute.
A Royal Deathbed in France seen in Scotland. The above case is remarkable because the voice was transmitted as well as the spectacle. In the next story the ear heard nothing, but the scene itself was very remarkable. A correspondent of the Psychical Research Society writes that whilst staying with her mother's cousin, Mrs. Elizabeth Broughton, wife of Mr.
'Captain Broughton, she said and she began her task the moment that they were both seated 'You and I have engaged ourselves as man and wife, but perhaps we have been over rash. 'How so? said he. 'It may be and indeed I will say more it is the case that we have made this engagement without knowing enough of each other's character. 'I have not thought so.
A sense of the ridiculous, if nothing else, should in either case deter the afflicted one from the attempt. There was no such absurdity with our friend Mrs Dobbs Broughton and Conway Dalrymple. Their valves and pulses were all right. They could play the game without the slightest danger of any inconvenient result; of any inconvenient result, that is, as regarded their own feelings.
