His nature I cannot alter, but from my daughters I expect cheerful obedience. From what incidents of his past life he was led to expect cheerfulness at Caversham it might be difficult to say; but the obedience was there. Georgey was for the time broken down; Sophia was satisfied with her nuptial prospects, and Lady Pomona had certainly no spirits left for a combat.
Georgey didn't care a penny whistle for the fellow, all muffled up to the chin in his little wadded velvet sack, with a rich cashmere scarf of his mother's wound about his neck, and a velvet cap crushed down over his bright, curly head. How the sleighs did fly past! with their gaily fringed buffaloes, and prancing horses necklaced with little tinkling bells.
Georgiana gave no response, save a look well nigh as vacant in the interchange. "But you haven't eaten at all!" said Merthyr. Emilia shook her head. "No." "Eat, my Sandra! to please me! You will need all your strength if you would be a match for Georgey anywhere where there's action." "Yes!" Emilia traversed his words with a sudden outcry. "Yes, I will go to London.
"Georgey didn't say anything of you in her letter, Merthyr; I am going up to her, but I wished to satisfy myself that you were in town, first: to save half-a-minute, you see I anticipate the philosophic manly sneer. Is it really true that you are going to mix yourself up in this mad Italian business again?
'They had neither of them a shilling of money, said Georgey through her tears. 'And your papa says this man was next door to a bankrupt. But it's all over? 'Yes, mamma. 'And now we must all remain here at Caversham till people forget it. It has been very hard upon George Whitstable, because of course everybody has known it through the county.
I will tell him all all but the interest which I take in in the suspected person, and he shall decide what is next to be done." Master Georgey did very good justice to the dinner which Robert had ordered.
Delicacy had prevented Merthyr from taking special notice to Emilia of Lady Charlotte's visit, and he treated Wilfrid's similarly, saying, "Georgey will send down word." "Only, don't leave me till she does," Emilia rejoined. Her agitation laid her open to be misinterpreted. It was increased when she saw him take a book and sit in the armchair between two lighted candles, calmly careless of her.
I calculated that she might faint, and fixed her in an arm-chair. Was that cruel? Merthyr, you have called me Austrian more than once; but, upon my honour, I wanted her to get over her delusion comfortably. I thought she would have kept the oath, I confess; she looked up like a child when she was making it. You have heard the rest from Georgey. I must say the situation was rather hard on Wilfrid.
He had attended several infant funerals in the neighborhood, and was considered valuable as a mourner on account of his interesting appearance. He had come, therefore, to look upon the ceremony of interment as a solemn festivity; in which cake and wine, and a carriage drive were the leading features. "You have no objection to my taking Georgey away with me, Mr. Maldon?" asked Robert Audley.
'I won't stand it if I'm to be treated like this, said Georgiana. 'I'll go away somewhere. 'How can I help it, Georgey? It's your own doing. Of course you must have known that you were going to separate yourself from us. On the next morning there came a dispatch from Mr Longestaffe, of what nature Georgey did not know as it was addressed to Lady Pomona. But one enclosure she was allowed to see.
