There was a vacant chair; Nevil took it in his hand at times, stamped it to the ground, walked away and sharply back fronting his uncle, speaking vehemently, she perceived, and vainly, as she judged by the cast of his uncle's figure. Mr. Romfrey's head was bent, and wagged slightly, as he screwed his brows up and shot his eyes, queerly at the agitated young man.
Shrapnel sat discussing Lord Romfrey's bearing at his visit, 'own that my uncle Everard is a true nobleman. He has to make the round to the right mark, but he comes to it. I could not move him and I like him the better for that. He worked round to it himself. I ought to have been sure he would. You're right: I break my head with impatience. 'No; you sowed seed, said Dr. Shrapnel.
And he suggested that they had become so ready for war because of their having grown rather ashamed of themselves, and for the special reason that they could have it at a distance. 'The rascal's liver's out of order, Everard said. Coming to the sentence: 'Who speaks out in this crisis? There is one, and I am with him'; Mr. Romfrey's compassionate sentiments veered round to irate amazement.
'My boy, the woman cried, and dragged the urchin to Lord Romfrey's feet, cleaning her boy's face with her apron. 'It's the boy Commander Beauchamp drowned to save, said a man. All the lights of the ring were turned on the head of the boy. Dr. Shrapnel's eyes and Lord Romfrey's fell on the abashed little creature. The boy struck out both arms to get his fists against his eyelids.
O for the passionate will to make head against what appeared as a fate in this matter! She had it not. Mr. and Mrs. Wardour-Devereux, Sir John and Lady Baskelett, and the Countess of Welshpool, another sister of Mr. Romfrey's, arrived at Steynham for a day and a night. Lady Baskelett and Lady Welshpool came to see their brother, not to countenance his household; and Mr.
Taking her for the moment to know almost as much as he, the colonel doubted the weight his communication would have on her; he talked obscurely of a scandalous affair at Lord Romfrey's house in town, and Beauchamp and that Frenchwoman. 'But, said he, 'Mrs. Grancey will be here to-morrow. 'So will Nevil, papa, said Cecilia. 'Ah! he's coming, yes; well! the colonel puffed.
'By the way, I am informed Shrapnel has a young female relative living with him, said to be a sparkler. I bet you, sir, she is not a Radical. Do you take me? Rosamund Culling drove to the railway station on her way to Bevisham within an hour after Mr. Romfrey's eyebrows had made acute play over this communication.
She spoke to Stukely Culbrett, her dead husband's friend, to whose recommendation she was indebted for her place in Everard Romfrey's household. 'Nevil behaved like a knight, I hear. 'Your beauty was disputed, said he, 'and Nevil knocked the blind man down for not being able to see. She thought, 'Not my beauty! Nevil struck his cousin on behalf of the only fair thing I have left to me!
Rosamund begged that she might hear what Nevil had first said on his arrival. Cecilia related that they had seen him walking swiftly across the park, and that Mr. Romfrey had hailed him, and held his hand out; and that Captain Beauchamp had overlooked it, saying he feared Mr. Romfrey's work was complete.
