I wished the moment I saw them, my dear aunt, that you had a bunch of them. We proceeded to Leicester. Handsome town, good shops: walked whilst dinner was getting ready to a circulating library. My father asked for Belinda, Bulls, etc., found they were in good repute Castle Rackrent in better the others often borrowed, but Castle Rackrent often bought.
She's likely enough in someone's house as safe as can be, and what we've got ter do is ter harness up an' call at the houses where Prue is acquainted an' she'll be with us before dark, I'll warrant ye." Just at this point, Belinda Babson breathless and excited, ran in at the door crying wildly, "Oh, Miss Gilman, Mrs. Weston!
Vincent made his appearance. Lady Delacour immediately attacked him with raillery, on the subject of the fair Annabella. He was rejoiced to perceive that her suspicions took this turn, and that nothing relative to the transaction in which Clarence Hervey had been engaged had transpired. Vincent wavered in his resolution to confess the truth to Belinda.
The surgeon withdrew, and she beckoned to Belinda, who sat down upon the side of her bed. Lady Delacour held out her hand to her; it was covered with a cold dew. "My dear friend," said she, "my prophecy is accomplishing I know I must die." "The surgeon said that you were not in the least danger, my dear Lady Delacour; that it was merely a fainting fit.
"You are a charming, generous girl, and I am a passionate old fool thank you a thousand times." "You are not at all obliged to me," said Belinda. "When I first heard this story, I believed it, as Lady Boucher now does but I have had reason to alter my opinion, and perhaps the same means of information would have changed hers; once convinced, it is impossible to relapse into suspicion."
"We had better keep out of the way, I think," said Belinda: "for perhaps, as she has vowed vengeance against me, she might take a fancy to setting me upon that pinnacle of glory." "She dare not," cried Vincent, his eyes flashing with anger: "you may trust to us to defend you." "Certainly!
"I wish you would do me the favour, Lady Boucher, to introduce me to Miss Portman," continued Lady Anne. "The very thing I wished!" cried Helena. A few minutes' conversation passed afterward upon different subjects, and Lady Anne Percival and Belinda parted with a mutual desire to see more of each other.
Trembling, he slipped down from the chair, falling over the bath cabinet in his descent, and tried the key in the lock. It fitted, and the old man fairly chuckled. "Wait till I tell Belinda," he muttered, delightedly. Then a crafty second thought suggested that it might be wiser to keep "Belinda" in the dark, lest she might in some way gain possession of the duplicate key.
Belinda persisted in sending the macaw, for she was in hopes that these terrible family quarrels might be made up, if either party would condescend to show any disposition to oblige the other. Lady Anne Percival understood Miss Portman's civility as it was meant. "This is a bird of good omen," said she; "it augurs family peace."
Hervey assured her that they had used no such mean arts, that nothing had been concerted between them. "How came this leaf of myrtle here, then?" said Lady Delacour. "I was reading that story yesterday, and left it as my mark." "I cannot help believing you, because you never yet deceived me, even in the merest trifle: you are truth itself, Belinda.
