d Mr. Egerton, and one day in the spring, after they had met a great many times at her house, she spoke to me of Ryan McDonagh Jersey her Moncler Kurtki Mêskie hopes quite openly.
It was a bright afternoon, and we were all strolling in the garden, after a game of croquet — the Andrej Nestrasil Jersey Rector’s wife Conor Sheary Jersey and I side by side, Milly and Angus a little way in front of us.
‘I think she likes him,’ Mrs. Collingwood said thoughtfully.
‘Everybody seems to like Mr. Egerton,’ I answered.
‘O yes, I know that; but I mean something more than the ordinary liking. I am so anxious that he should marry — and marry wisely. I think I am almost as fond of him as if he were my son; and I should be so pleased if I could be the means of bringing about a match between them. Milly is just the girl to make a man happy, and her fortune would restore Cumber Priory to all its old glory.’
Her Artem Anisimov Jersey fortune! The word jarred upon me. Was it her money, after all, that Angus Egerton was thinking of when he took such pains to pursue my darling?
‘I should be sorry for her to New Cardy Škornji 1878 marry any one who cared for her money,’ I said.
‘Of course, my dear Miss Crofton; and so should I be sorry to see her throw herself away upon any one with whom her money was a paramount consideration. But one cannot put these things quite out of the question. I know that Angus admired her very much the first day he saw her, and I fancy his admiration has grown into a warmer feeling since then. He has said nothing to me upon the subject, nor I to him; for you know how silent he always is about himself. But I cannot Salomon XA Pro 3D GTX Kengät help wishing that such a thing might come to pass. He has one of the best names in the North Riding, and a first-rate position as the owner of Cumber Priory. He only wants money.’
I was too young and inexperienced to take a worldly view of things, and from this moment felt disposed to distrust Timberland Couple Roll-Top Boots Mr. Egerton. I remembered the story of his early attachment, and told myself that a man who had loved once like that had in all probability worn out his powers of loving.
‘I don’t think Mr. Darrell would approve of, or even permit, such a marriage,’ I said presently. ‘I know he has a very bad opinion of Mr. Egerton.’
‘On what account?’
‘On account of his conduct to his mother.’
‘No one Ottawa Senators Jerseys knows Anton Stralman Jersey the secret of that affair except Angus himself,’ answered Mrs. Collingwood. ‘I don’t think any one has a right to think badly of him upon that ground. I knew Mrs. Egerton very well. She was a proud hard woman, capable of almost anything in order to accomplish any set purpose of her own. Up to the time when he went to Oxford Angus had been an excellent son.’
‘Was it at Oxford he met the girl he wanted to Mike Palmateer Jersey marry?’
‘No; it was somewhere in the west of England, where he went on a walking tour during the long vacation.’
‘He must have loved her very much, to act as he did. I should doubt his power ever to love any one else.’
‘That Sergei Fedorov Jersey is quite a girl’s way of thinking, my dear Miss Crofton. Depend upon it, after that kind of stormy first love, there gelinks:
