"Well," laughed Miss Chipchase, "it is past twelve; and if Todborough Rectory is to keep its character, we must be off to bed and listen no more to your Suffolk gabbling. It's well mamma is laid up with a cold, or we should have been broomed off long ago." "Very well, Laura; in revenge for that last aspersion I will tell you nothing whatever more about Lionel Beauchamp.
"And any little ewe-lambs?" says Mr. Bordley, very innocent. Master Chipchase turned the colour of his meat, and his wit failed him. "'Fourthly," recited Mr.
Then, leaning towards him, she said, with a light laugh, and in tones so low that the others could not overhear her words, "Lose if you dare, sir!" Blanche Bloxam, who had come up with Mr. Sartoris and Beauchamp, was no better pleased than her mother at hearing her late cavalier so familiarly addressed by such an extremely pretty girl as Sylla Chipchase.
She expected to hear it announced that the Chipchase girls had been already asked to join the party.
More than one, apparently, had tasted of its discipline. Colonel Lloyd whispered to me to keep my countenance, that they were not after very large game that morning, only Chipchase, the butcher. And presently we came upon the rascal putting up his shutters in much precipitation, although it was noon.
Beauchamp could run, but as to where Sylla Chipchase could have attained such intimate knowledge of his accomplishments; while Mr. Cottrell alone showed faith in this unknown champion, observing cynically to Mrs. Sartoris, that when women went the length of wagering their bracelets, he thought it most advisable to be upon their side.
What fun it would be, the really going to a ball in such surreptitious fashion!" "Yes," said Jim; "but think about all the fears and anxieties of getting back again. It's always so much easier to get out of a window than to get into one." "But what are you all proposing to do this afternoon, Blanche?" inquired Laura Chipchase.
We might have as great a success, Miss Chipchase, as we had that night at Todborough." "Yes," replied Sylla, slightly colouring at the recollection, and wondering, in her mischievous resolve to a little shock Lady Mary, whether she might not really have gone too far.
"And so," interposed Miss Chipchase, "we have settled that I shall play the piano." "Very well, Mrs. Sartoris," said Sylla; "then we will consider that settled; you do the Ladies and I do the Chambermaids. Now, gentlemen, you must select your own lines. What will you be, Mr. Sartoris Walking Gentleman, Low Comedian, or Melodramatic Villain?" "Oh, Melodramatic Villain," cried Mrs.
"Have a care, Master Weld," says he, in a quiet tone that boded no good; "there is more evidence against you than you will like." Master Chipchase, after being frightened almost out of his senses, was pardoned this once by Captain Daniel's influence. We went thence to Mr. Hildreth's shop; he was suspected of having got tea out of a South River snow; then to Mr. Jackson's; and so on.
