"I think," answered Lovel, willing to humour the old man, "it has something the appearance of a mitre." "I protest you are right! you are right! it never struck me before see what it is to have younger eyes A mitre a mitre it corresponds in every respect."

He is a good sort of fellow, I hope." "He is all goodness to me," Clarissa answered gravely, casting down her eyes as she spoke; and Austin Lovel knew that the marriage which had given his sister Arden Court had been no love-match.

Upon these whims, which he imagined intimately connected with the honour of his vagabond profession, Edie was flint and adamant, not to be moved by rhetoric or entreaty; and therefore Lovel was under the necessity of again pocketing his intended bounty, and taking a friendly leave of the mendicant by shaking him by the hand, and assuring him of his cordial gratitude for the very important services which he had rendered him, recommending, at the same time, secrecy as to what they had that night witnessed. "Ye needna doubt that," said Ochiltree; "I never tell'd tales out o' yon cove in my life, though mony a queer thing I hae seen in't."

"For God's sake, who is that young gentleman who is so strikingly like " "Like the unfortunate Eveline," interrupted Oldbuck. "I felt my heart warm to him from the first. Formerly I would have called him Lovel, but now he turns out to be Major Neville." "Whom my brother brought up as his natural son whom he made his heir the child of my Eveline!" Mr.

But she withdrew her hand quickly as she asked him. "Nay; it is mine; it shall be mine if you love me, dear. I will tell you what story. They have said that you love your cousin, Earl Lovel." "No;" said she scornfully, "I have never said so. It is not true." "You cannot love us both."

Lovel; many years of deserved happiness, founded on a more rational basis than your present wishes, are, I trust, before, you. But it is full time, to finish this conversation. I cannot force you to adopt my advice I cannot shut the door of my father's house against the preserver of his life and mine; but the sooner Mr.

The feeling of the court would be against him." "Could we buy the tailor, Sir William?" The Solicitor-General nursed his leg before he answered. "Mr. Flick could answer that question better than I can do. In fact, Mr. Flick should know it all. The matter is too heavy for secrets, Lord Lovel."

The ready grin and supple inclination with which his salutation, though slight, was answered by the foreigner, increased the internal dislike which Lovel had already conceived towards him; and it was plain, from the lower of the Antiquary's shaggy eye-brow, that he too looked with displeasure on this addition to the company.

Had they left her at Yoxham, and said never a word to her about the tailor; had the rector and the two aunts showered soft courtesies on her head, they might have vanquished her. But now the spirit of opposition was stronger within her than ever.
