The fact that Lord Torrington was Secretary of State for War did not weigh on him for an instant. He was, as indeed boys ought to be at seventeen years of age, a primitive barbarian. He was filled with a desire for revenge on the man who had insulted and injured him. "You don't know," he said, "what Lord Torrington is here for." "Oh, yes, I do," said Priscilla. "I'm not quite an ass.
Albans; Herbert, the admiral, first Earl of Torrington; and Henry, seventh Earl of Lincoln. A descendant of the last-named sold the estate to Frederick, Duke of York, the son of George III. and Commander-in-Chief of the British army. Soon afterwards the house at Oatlands was destroyed by fire, and the prince erected a new building, some portions of which are incorporated in the present hostelry.
It was only as an after thought he mentioned the object of their meeting and he touched upon it in the lightest vein. "Nothing doing?" "Nothing." "Ah! well, it's early yet. Hot ain't it? Mind if I get myself a peg?" He was crossing to the decanter when he stopped, drew an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table before Mr. Torrington. "What do you make of that?" he asked.
"Then if you will kindly ring the bell," said Cassis, "your servant, Doran, will correct the details of your wardrobe." "So I have a servant." "You have everything this flat contains and five thousand pounds at the end of three weeks." "Oh, what a lark," said Richard gaily. "I only hope it will prove so," said Mr. Torrington.

This was another new idea to Frank. He began to feel slightly bewildered. "The one thing she's really keen on just at present," said Priscilla, "is that women should assert their independence and not be mere tame parasites in gilded cages. That's what she said to Lady Torrington anyhow.
Some of my young men whom you had promised to dance with, were disappointed, but after all, I suppose that doesn't matter." "Not much," Lady Cynthia assented sweetly. "I think a few disappointments are good for most of the young men of to-day." "What did you do last night, Cynthia?" Margaret asked her presently, when Lady Torrington had passed on.
Torrington was sure she should never sleep in her bed if she lived among blacks; her husband corrected her by saying that the blacks would be manageable enough if it were not for the half-breeds; and Deronda remarked that the whites had to thank themselves for the half-breeds.
"Oh, Lord! no, nothing of that kind." And Almont's inflection suggested that the very idea of such a thing caused him pain. Hilbert Torrington pursed his lips and stared at the ceiling. "What does a dog rose suggest to you, Cassis?" "A silly interruption," replied that gentleman sourly.
