But
,
whatsoever
his
mood
,
he
never
failed
to
make
as
many
sarcastic
and
embarrassing
speeches
as
possible
,
and
to
cause
the
Reverend
Mr
.
Mordaunt
to
wish
it
were
proper
and
Christian
-
like
to
throw
something
heavy
at
him
.
During
all
the
years
in
which
Mr
.
Mordaunt
had
been
in
charge
of
Dorincourt
parish
,
the
rector
certainly
did
not
remember
having
seen
his
lordship
,
of
his
own
free
will
,
do
any
one
a
kindness
,
or
,
under
any
circumstances
whatever
,
show
that
he
thought
of
any
one
but
himself
.
662
He
had
called
to
-
day
to
speak
to
him
of
a
specially
pressing
case
,
and
as
he
had
walked
up
the
avenue
,
he
had
,
for
two
reasons
,
dreaded
his
visit
more
than
usual
.
In
the
first
place
,
he
knew
that
his
lordship
had
for
several
days
been
suffering
with
the
gout
,
and
had
been
in
so
villainous
a
humor
that
rumors
of
it
had
even
reached
the
village
carried
there
by
one
of
the
young
women
servants
,
to
her
sister
,
who
kept
a
little
shop
and
retailed
darning
-
needles
and
cotton
and
peppermints
and
gossip
,
as
a
means
of
earning
an
honest
living
.
What
Mrs
.
Dibble
did
not
know
about
the
Castle
and
its
inmates
,
and
the
farm
-
houses
and
their
inmates
,
and
the
village
and
its
population
,
was
really
not
worth
being
talked
about
.
And
of
course
she
knew
everything
about
the
Castle
,
because
her
sister
,
Jane
Shorts
,
was
one
of
the
upper
housemaids
,
and
was
very
friendly
and
intimate
with
Thomas
.
663
And
the
way
his
lordship
do
go
on
!
said
Mrs
.
Dibble
,
over
the
counter
,
and
the
way
he
do
use
language
,
Mr
.
Thomas
told
Jane
herself
,
no
flesh
and
blood
as
is
in
livery
could
stand
for
throw
a
plate
of
toast
at
Mr
.

Thomas
,
hisself
,
he
did
,
not
more
than
two
days
since
,
and
if
it
weren
t
for
other
things
being
agreeable
and
the
society
below
stairs
most
genteel
,
warning
would
have
been
gave
within
a
hour
!
665
And
the
rector
had
heard
all
this
,
for
somehow
the
Earl
was
a
favorite
black
sheep
in
the
cottages
and
farm
-
houses
,
and
his
bad
behavior
gave
many
a
good
woman
something
to
talk
about
when
she
had
company
to
tea
.
666
And
the
second
reason
was
even
worse
,
because
it
was
a
new
one
and
had
been
talked
about
with
the
most
excited
interest
.
667
Who
did
not
know
of
the
old
nobleman
s
fury
when
his
handsome
son
the
Captain
had
married
the
American
lady
?
Who
did
not
know
how
cruelly
he
had
treated
the
Captain
,
and
how
the
big
,
gay
,
sweet
-
smiling
young
man
,
who
was
the
only
member
of
the
grand
family
any
one
liked
,
had
died
in
a
foreign
land
,
poor
and
unforgiven
?
Who
did
not
know
how
fiercely
his
lordship
had
hated
the
poor
young
creature
who
had
been
this
son
s
wife
,
and
how
he
had
hated
the
thought
of
her
child
and
never
meant
to
see
the
boy
until
his
two
sons
died
and
left
him
without
an
heir
?
And
then
,
who
did
not
know
that
he
had
looked
forward
without
any
affection
or
pleasure
to
his
grandson
s
coming
,
and
that
he
had
made
up
his
mind
that
he
should
find
the
boy
a
vulgar
,
awkward
,
pert
American
lad
,
more
likely
to
disgrace
his
noble
name
than
to
honor
it
?

The
proud
,
angry
old
man
thought
he
had
kept
all
his
thoughts
secret
.
669
He
did
not
suppose
any
one
had
dared
to
guess
at
,
much
less
talk
over
what
he
felt
,
and
dreaded
;
but
his
servants
watched
him
,
and
read
his
face
and
his
ill
-
humors
and
fits
of
gloom
,
and
discussed
them
in
the
servants
hall
.
And
while
he
thought
himself
quite
secure
from
the
common
herd
,
Thomas
was
telling
Jane
and
the
cook
,
and
the
butler
,
and
the
housemaids
and
the
other
footmen
that
it
was
his
opinion
that
the
hold
man
was
wuss
than
usual
a
-
thinkin
hover
the
Capting
s
boy
,
an
hanticipatin
as
he
won
t
be
no
credit
to
the
fambly
.
An
serve
him
right
,
added
Thomas
;
hit
s
is
hown
fault
.
Wot
can
he
iggspect
from
a
child
brought
up
in
pore
circumstances
in
that
there
low
Hamerica
?
670
And
as
the
Reverend
Mr
.
Mordaunt
walked
under
the
great
trees
,
he
remembered
that
this
questionable
little
boy
had
arrived
at
the
Castle
only
the
evening
before
,
and
that
there
were
nine
chances
to
one
that
his
lordship
s
worst
fears
were
realized
,
and
twenty
-
two
chances
to
one
that
if
the
poor
little
fellow
had
disappointed
him
,
the
Earl
was
even
now
in
a
tearing
rage
,
and
ready
to
vent
all
his
rancor
on
the
first
person
who
called
which
it
appeared
probable
would
be
his
reverend
self
.
