[The Belton Estate by Anthony Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookThe Belton Estate CHAPTER XIV 22/33
My informant tells me that he believes she has since married.
Now you know all that I know." And Belton also knew that Mrs.Askerton of the cottage was the Miss Vigo with whom he had been acquainted in earlier years. After that they dined comfortably, and nothing passed between them which need be recorded as essential to our story till the time came for them to part.
Then, when they were both standing at the club door, the lawyer said a word or two which is essential.
"So you're off to-morrow ?" said he. "Yes; I shall go down by the express." "I wish you a pleasant journey.
By-the-by, I ought to tell you that you won't have any trouble in being either father or mother, or uncle or aunt to Miss Amedroz." "Why not ?" "I suppose it's no secret." "What's no secret ?" "She's going to be married to Captain Aylmer." Then Will Belton started so violently, and assumed on a sudden so manifest a look of anger, that his tale was at once told to Mr. Green.
