'I am heartily glad, said Cadurcis. 'I like Masham very much; I really have a sincere affection for him. Do you know, during my infernal affair about those accursed Monteagles, when I went to the House of Lords, and was cut even by my own party; think of that, the polished ruffians! Masham was the only person who came forward and shook hands with me, and in the most marked manner.
"Well, did you see Miss Blanchflower?" said the Captain, as Masham joined him on the platform, and they entered the up train together. "I did. A handsome young lady! Have you heard the news?" "No." "Your neighbor, Mr. Winnington Mark Winnington is named as her guardian under her father's will until she is twenty-five. He is also trustee, with absolute power over the property."
Old Maisie waked late, and no wonder! Or, more properly, she slept late, and had to be waked. Mrs. Masham did it, saying at the same time to a person in her company: "Oh no, Mrs. Thrale she's all right! we've no call to be frightened yet a while." She added, as signs of life began to return: "She'll be talking directly, you'll see."
Jack, whose face was very pale, and whose eyes flashed fiercely, remained motionless, and with an evident effort, as Masham held out his hand. "What thinks we aren't good enough for him, does he?" said Masham. "So used to the handcuffs," said Abel, "doesn't know how to use his hands, that's it." "But we don't know yet who this old weathercock is," cried Whipcord, turning again to my uncle.
And when he had exhausted his stories of himself he told me stories of his friends, some of which were disgusting, some horrifying, and some stupid. But with it all he had an air as if he believed everybody at heart was bad, and as if morality and sobriety and unselfishness were mere affectation and cant. Has any of my readers ever met such a one as Masham? I hope not.
If ever you retell the tale you can make it do so. But whatever you do be careful to insist on that point of not talking before the servants. Dwell on the fact that Miss Lutwyche went straight to the Servants' Hall, after putting a finishing touch on her young ladyship, and said to the housekeeper: "You'll be very careful, Mrs. Masham, to say nothing whatever about her young ladyship and Mr.
She died without signing her will, by which omission Mrs. Masham was deprived of her legacy. She died childless, and the Elector George of Hanover ascended her throne.
Masham, 'go and give that beautiful peacock a pretty piece of cake. Lady Annabel and the Doctor rose from the table with Venetia, and took a turn in the park, while the Doctor's horses were getting ready. 'I think, my good lady, said the Doctor, 'it would be but an act of Christian charity to call upon Mrs. Cadurcis.
"George Granville," of the family of the hero of the Revenge, was a great Tory, a peer a little later with the title of Lansdowne, and a rather better poet than Johnson thought him. "St. John" and "Harley," if not also "Masham," should not need annotation. Swift calls their attention to it when beginning his next instalment. LONDON, January 16, 1710-11.
Masham had written more than once to Lord Cadurcis, impressing upon him the propriety and expediency of taking his seat. He had shown these letters, as he showed everything, to Venetia, who was his counsellor on all subjects, and Venetia agreed with their friend. 'It is right, said Venetia; 'you have a duty to perform, and you must perform it.
