I've got a little plan in my head, and we'll take a rise out of these gentlemen." The Melchester School Debating Society, as we have already mentioned, was established for the benefit of the senior boys, who held their meetings every Saturday night during the winter and Easter terms in what was known as the drawing classroom. It was conducted in a very solemn and serious manner.
The last time he had walked from Melchester along this road was the afternoon on which he brought back the silver locket for Queen Mab. What if the pony-carriage should suddenly turn the corner? and yet, why should he be afraid to meet her? He was doing nothing to be ashamed of, and the recollection of the stolen watch never entered his head.
They talked of Julian's residence at different Italian towns with his sister; of Faith, who was at the present moment staying with some old friends in Melchester: and, as was inevitable, the discourse hovered over and settled upon Ethelberta, the prime ruler of the courses of them all, with little exception, through recent years.
The friends to whom we went Lord and Lady Melchester had a large party staying with them, and we were, I believe, the only outsiders who lived in the neighbourhood. One of their guests was Professor Black, whose name I have already mentioned a little, dry, thin, acrid man, with thick black hair, innocent of the comb, and pursed, straight lips.
The next day the girl made her so-called confession, which the simple mourning she had already worn, without stating for whom, seemed to bear out; and soon the story of the little romance spread through the village and country-side, almost as far as Melchester. It was a curious psychological fact that, having once made the avowal, Milly seemed possessed with a spirit of ecstasy at her position.
He read sermons on discipline, and hunted up passages in Church history that treated of the Ascetics of the second century. Before he had returned from Marygreen to Melchester there arrived a letter from Arabella. The sight of it revived a stronger feeling of self-condemnation for his brief return to her society than for his attachment to Sue.
"Well, I can hardly tell you," replied Miss Fenleigh; "I've only seen him once, poor boy, and that was several years ago." "But why don't we ever see Uncle Basil?" persisted Barbara. "You often come and visit us, and why doesn't he?" "Well, I live within ten miles of your house, and Padbury is thirty or forty miles on the other side of Melchester."
She only got handy the Union-house on Sunday morning 'a b'lieve, and 'tis sup- posed here and there that she had traipsed every step of the way from Melchester. Why she left her place, I can't say, for I don't know; and as to a lie, why, I wouldn't tell it. That's the short of the story, ma'am." "Ah-h!"
'You will come with your sister to see us before you leave? he said. 'We have tea at six. 'We shall have left Melchester before that time. I am now only waiting for the train. 'You two have not come all the way from Knollsea alone? 'Part of the way, said Ethelberta evasively. 'And going back alone? 'No. Only for the last five miles.
"Yes," added Dorris, "and so you want to get off Saturday 'prep. Fire away, Tinky, I'm with you." That very afternoon Tinkleby addressed a large, square envelope to S. R. HENINGSON, Esq., Hon. Sec. Melchester School Debating Society.
