The Claverings

CHAPTER XVI
10/34

When do they come, Harry ?" "He is in town, now." "What a nice husband, is he not?
And when does Hermione come ?" "I do not know; she did not say.

Little Hughy is ill, and that may keep her." "After all, Harry, I may have to pack up and go to Clavering even yet--that is, if the mistress of the house will have me." "Never in the way you mean, Lady Ongar.

Do not propose to kill all my relations in order that I might have their property.

Archie intends to marry, and have a dozen children." "Archie marry! Who will have him?
But such men as he are often in the way by marrying some cookmaid at last.

Archie is Hugh's body-slave.
Fancy being body-slave to Hugh Clavering! He has two, and poor Hermy is the other; only he prefers not to have Hermy near him, which is lucky for her.
