It was no doubt a pity that the Duke had been so firm. "But," and Mr. Sprugeon shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, "when a nobleman like the Duke chooses to have a way of his own, he must have it." Mr.
Sprout, the maker of cork soles, and Mr. Sprugeon and Mr. Sprout between them had soon decided that Mr. Ferdinand Lopez should be run for the borough as the "Castle" candidate. "The Duke won't interfere," said Sprugeon; "and, of course, the Duke's man of business can't do anything openly; but the Duke's people will know." Then Mr.
Sprout, probably having on his mind some confusion between magnanimity and unanimity. "As your Lordship is coming among us, the borough is anxious to sink politics altogether for the moment," said Mr. Sprugeon. There had no doubt been a compact between the Sprugeon and Sprout party and the Du Boung party in accordance with which it had been arranged that Mr.
I shall see the principal inhabitants, and probably make a speech or two." "I do so wish I could hear you." "You'd find it awfully dull work, my girl. And I shall find it awfully dull too. I do not imagine that Mr. Sprugeon and Mr. Sprout will be pleasant companions. Well; I shall stay there a day or two and settle when I am to go down for the absolute canvass.
After that disobedient word spoken to Mr. Sprugeon, she should have been more on her guard. "As to that, Glencora, I must judge for myself." "Oh yes, you have been jury, and judge, and executioner." "I have done as I thought right to do. I am sorry that I should fail to carry you with me in such a matter, but even failing in that I must do my duty.
It is not meant that any novice should understand much about it. Of course you will not mention her Grace's letter." "Certainly not." "She intends to do the very best she can for me. I have no doubt that some understrapper from the Castle has had some communication with Mr. Sprugeon.
Sprugeon seems to think it does not signify." "That is hardly complimentary." "No, not to me. But he is very civil to the family. As long as a Palliser represents the borough, Mr. Sprugeon thinks that it does not matter much on which side he may sit. I have had my little vagary, and I don't think that I shall change again."
Morton begged the heir to come to his own house; but Silverbridge declared that he would prefer the Inn, and so the matter was settled. He was to meet sundry politicians, Mr. Sprugeon and Mr. Sprout and Mr. Du Boung, who would like to be thanked for what they had done. But who was to go with him?
Sprugeon himself that he had better fight the battle "on his own hook." Now his own hook in Silverbridge was certainly not a strong hook. Mr. Sprugeon was still of opinion that a good deal might be done by judicious manipulation, and went so far as to suggest that another cheque for £500 in the hands of Mr. Wise, the lawyer, would be effective.
"It is all humbug and falsehood to the very bottom. She knows that I am spending money about it, and she ought to be on the square with me. She ought to tell me what she can do and what she can't. When I asked her whether Sprugeon might be trusted, she said that she really wished that I wouldn't say anything more to her about it. I call that dishonest and sly.
