[The Danvers Jewels, and Sir Charles Danvers by Mary Cholmondeley]@TWC D-Link bookThe Danvers Jewels, and Sir Charles Danvers CHAPTER XXIX 10/24
"While he was ill I overlooked his being in the house; but I will not suffer him to remain now he is well." "You remove him from all chance of improvement," said Charles, "if you take him away from Aunt Mary, who can snatch brands from the burning, as we all know; but I am going over to Vandon this morning, and if you wish it I will ask him if he would like me to order his dog-cart to come for him.
I don't suppose he is very happy here, without so much as a tooth-brush that he can call his own." "You are going to Vandon ?" asked both ladies in one voice. "Yes.
I am going on purpose to dislodge an impostor who has arrived there, who is actually believed by some people (who are not such exemplary Christians as ourselves, and ready to suppose the worst) to be his wife." Lady Mary and Evelyn looked at each other in consternation, and Charles went off to see how Othello was after his night's work, and to order the dog-cart, Ralph calling after him, in perfect good-humor, that "a fellow's brother got more out of a fellow's horses than a fellow did himself." Dare waylaid Charles on his return from the stables, and linked his arm in his.
He felt the most enthusiastic admiration for the tall reserved Englishman who had done him such signal service.
He longed for an opportunity of showing his gratitude to him.
