It lies in your own power to be Edgar's brother! No, no, Isabella, you sha'n't run off, she continued, arresting, with feigned playfulness, the confounded girl, who had risen indignantly.
All access to his person was denied, the most urgent matters were neglected. The prospect of the rich inheritance of Spain was closed against him, while he was trying to make up his mind to offer his hand to the Infanta Isabella. A fearful anarchy threatened the Empire, for though without an heir of his own body, he could not be persuaded to allow the election of a King of the Romans.
Escalus, who imagined he was speaking to a friar, replied, "The Duke is a very temperate gentleman, who prefers to see another merry to being merry himself." The Duke then proceeded to call on Mariana. Isabella arrived immediately afterwards, and the Duke introduced the two girls to one another, both of whom thought he was a friar.
"I think it must be a likeness of the Senorita Isabella," continued the surgeon, "though I have never seen her to know her but once." "It is indeed meant for her," said the girl, eagerly scanning the soft and delicate picture, which represented the Senorita Isabella Gonzales as sitting at an open window and gazing forth on the soft, dreamy atmosphere of a tropical sunset.
"I'll manage it for you," I said eagerly; but, just as I spoke, the door opened and Isabella and Mark came in. Never shall I forget the look on Isabella's face. I almost felt sorry for her. She turned sickly yellow and her eyes went wild; they were looking at the downfall of all her schemes and hopes. I didn't look at Mark Foster, at first, and, when I did, there wasn't anything to see.
"I came to look after you and your nerves, Isabella," she reminded me; "and how could I possibly know I shouldn't like the sea in November till I had seen it?" We had ordered tea to be ready for us, and after our long railway journey we were more than ready for the meal. "The woman of the house is a most miserable, frightened-looking creature," Julia remarked.
She who was once the most execrated woman of her age had won a place of the highest honor. Caviceo even ventured, when he wished to praise the famous Isabella Gonzaga, to say that she approached the perfection of Lucretia. Her past, apparently, was so completely forgotten that even her name, Borgia, was always mentioned with respect.
And he dreaded that mind: it revolted him: he shrank forebodingly from the idea of committing Isabella to its keeping. He would have recoiled still more had he been aware that her attachment rose unsolicited, and was bestowed where it awakened no reciprocation of sentiment; for the minute he discovered its existence he laid the blame on Heathcliff's deliberate designing.
'I was so sorry that I was not at home when you called, Glastonbury, said his Grace; 'but I thought I should soon hear of you at grandmamma's. 'And, dear Mr. Glastonbury, why did you not come up and see me? said the younger duchess. 'And, dear Mr. Glastonbury, do you remember me? said one beautiful daughter. 'And me, Mr. Glastonbury, me? I am Isabella.
With this insolence it is satisfactory to contrast the verdict of the Edinburgh: "We have been exceedingly struck with the genius these poems Endymion, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, &c. display, and the spirit of poetry which breathes through all their extravagance. . . . They are at least as full of genius as absurdity."
