My opinion is that Prospero was just saved by the Prince of Naples being wrecked on his island, from a shocking mis-alliance between his daughter and the son of Sycorax. I see it clearly. Poetry conceals the extreme probability, but from what I know of my sex, I should have no hesitation in turning prophet also, as to that. What could Mrs. Shorne do with a mother who talked in this manner? Mrs.
Maxwell looked stern; but, conscious there was nothing to be got of Sir Mungo in the way of amends, and that prosecuting the quarrel with such an adversary would only render him ridiculous, and make public a mis-alliance of which he had no reason to be proud, he covered his resentment with a sneer; and, expressing his regret that Sir Mungo was become too deaf to understand or attend to what was said to him, walked on, and planted himself beside the folding-doors of the presence-chamber, at which he was to perform the duty of deputy- chamberlain, or usher, so soon as they should be opened.
But he had presumed to raise himself from a low station in the world and that was against him. However, Time and the progress of modern enlightenment put things right; and the mis-alliance passed muster very well. That's the modern way of looking at it and I keep up with the modern way. The Ablewhites lived in a fine house and grounds, a little out of Frizinghall.
