Not a word had been spoken between them about Lord Lufton since that evening, now more than a month ago, on which they had been walking together in the garden. Lucy had so demeaned herself on that occasion as to make her sister-in-law quite sure that there had been no love passages up to that time; and nothing had since occurred which had created any suspicion in Mrs. Robarts's mind.
It may be presumed that Puck himself on that occasion did not suffer much. His skin was not so soft as Mrs. Robarts's heart. The little beast was full of oats and all the good things of this world, and therefore, when the whip touched him, he would dance about and shake his little ears, and run on at a tremendous pace for twenty yards, making his mistress think that he had endured terrible things.
Robarts's character as a clergyman should have kept him from such troubles, if no other feeling did so." "At any rate, mother, oblige me by letting it pass by." "Oh, I shall say nothing to him." "You had better say something to her, or otherwise it will be strange; and even to him I would say a word or two, a word in kindness, as you so well know how.
In one respect it was, perhaps, beneficial; Lady Lufton was at once induced by it to make common cause with her own clergyman, and thus the remembrance of Mr. Robarts's sins passed away the quicker from the minds of the whole Framley Court household.
Robarts's own fears, however, were running entirely in the direction of her husband; and, indeed, Lady Lufton had a word or two to say on that subject also, only not exactly now. A hunting parson was not at all to her taste; but that matter might be allowed to remain in abeyance for a few days. "Now, Fanny, you know that we have all liked your sister-in-law, Lucy, very much." And then Mrs.
It was the only way I could make my peace with her; so you must not leave me in the lurch." Of course, Fanny said that she would go and dine at Framley Court. "And you must not send that letter, by any means," said her ladyship as she was leaving the room, poking with her umbrella at the epistle, which lay directed on Mis. Robarts's desk. "I can understand very well what it contains.
But when the clock struck three, Mr. Sowerby was there, and Mark Robarts's hopes were nearly at an end. "Do you mean that they will demand nine hundred pounds?" said Robarts, standing up and glaring angrily at the member of Parliament. "I fear that they will," said Sowerby. "I think it is best to tell you the worst, in order that we may see what can be done."
"Rose's expenses and mine are more than paid," calculated the practical Annie, "so that we shall be no drag on father and mother. I don't know if Robarts's accommodation will extend beyond the additional bedroom for Rose and May, but that can be easily managed. Oh!
"The young lady is very good very good indeed," said Crawley; "but I trust she will return to her home to-morrow. It is impossible that she should remain in so poor a house as mine. There will be nothing here of all the things that she will want." The dean thought that Lucy Robarts's wants during her present occupation of nursing would not be so numerous as to make her continued sojourn in Mrs.
There is one Instance particularly, which I cannot help mentioning, relating to Vines, and the neccessity of keeping their Roots from Wet, which I observ'd this Year at Twittenham, at John Robarts's Esq.
