The day of the Ullathorne party arrived, and all the world were there — or at least so much of the world as had been included in Miss Thorne’s invitation. As we have said, the bishop1 returned home on the previous evening, and on the same evening and by the same train came Dr. Gwynne and Mr. Arabin from Oxford3. The archdeacon with his brougham was in waiting for the Master of Lazarus, so that there was a goodly show of church dignitaries on the platform of the railway.
The Stanhope party was finally arranged in the odious4 manner already described, and Eleanor got into the doctor’s carriage full of apprehension5 and presentiment6 of further misfortune, whereas Mr. Slope entered the vehicle elate with triumph.
He had received that morning a very civil note from Sir Nicholas Fitzwhiggin, not promising7 much, indeed, but then Mr. Slope knew, or fancied that he knew, that it was not etiquette8 for government officers to make promises. Though Sir Nicholas promised nothing he implied a good deal, declared his conviction that Mr. Slope would make an excellent dean, and wished him every kind of success. To be sure he added that, not being in the cabinet, he was never consulted on such matters, and that even if he spoke9 on the subject, his voice would go for nothing. But all this Mr. Slope took for the prudent10 reserve of official life. To complete his anticipated triumphs, another letter was brought to him just as he was about to start to Ullathorne.
Mr. Slope also enjoyed the idea of handing Mrs. Bold out of Dr. Stanhope’s carriage before the multitude at Ullathorne gate as much as Eleanor dreaded
