[Mr. Meeson’s Will by H. Rider Haggard]@TWC D-Link bookMr. Meeson’s Will CHAPTER XIV 8/13
"Let me introduce you to Lady Holmhurst.
Mr.Meeson, Lady Holmhurst." Eustace bowed, and put his hat down on the butter-dish, for he was very much overcome. "I hope that I have not come too early," he said in great confusion, as he perceived his mistake.
"I thought that you would have done breakfast." "Oh, not at all Mr.Meeson," said Lady Holmhurst.
"Won't you have a cup of tea? Augusta, give Mr.Meeson a cup of tea." He took the tea, which he did not want in the least, and then there came an awkward silence.
Nobody seemed to know how to begin the conversation. "How did you find the house, Mr.Meeson ?" said Lady Holmhurst, at last. "Miss Smithers gave you no address, and there are two Lady Holmhursts--my mother-in-law and myself." "Oh, I looked it out, and then I walked here last night and saw you both sitting at the window." "Indeed!" said Lady Holmhurst.
