'Then I beg you will not think of proposing for me, said Mrs. Lascelles, laughing; for Mr. Vaughan had been excessively attentive. 'It appears to me, Vaughan, observed Seagrove, 'that you have slightly committed yourself by that remark. Vaughan, who thought so too, replied, 'Mrs. Lascelles must be aware that I was only joking.
