By the by, I ought to tell you that you won't have any trouble in being either father or mother, or uncle or aunt to Miss Amedroz. 'Why not? 'I suppose it's no secret. 'What's no secret? 'She's going to be married to Captain Aylmer. Then Will Belton started so violently, and assumed on a sudden so manifest a look of anger, that his tale was at once told to Mr Green. 'Who says so? he asked.
He was full of noble qualities forgetful of self, industrious, full of resources, a very man of men, able to command, eager in doing work for others' good and his own a man altogether uncontaminated by the coldness and selfishness of the outer world. But he was rough, awkward, but indifferently educated, and with few of those tastes which to Clara Amedroz were delightful.
Her son left Aylmer Park immediately after Easter Sunday, and as he went, the mother, nodding her head, declared to her daughter that that marriage would never come off, let Clara Amedroz be ever so sly, or ever so clever. 'Think of what I have said to you, Fred, said Sir Anthony, as he took his leave of his son. 'Yes, sir, I will.
'Do, papa, and then I can do so also. He is such a good fellow, and I am so fond of him. On the next morning Mr Amedroz did, with much awkwardness, call his guest by his Christian name. Clara caught her cousin's eye and smiled, and he also smiled. At that moment he was more in love than ever. Could anything be more charming than this?
After what passed down-stairs, of course I have had to consider what I should do. Will you tell your mother that I will stay here, if she will permit it? 'Of course. She will be delighted. 'I will remain, if she will permit it, till the morning after Captain Aylmer's arrival. Then I shall go. 'Where to, Miss Amedroz? 'I have already written to a friend, asking her to receive me.
He had been long thinking that he should like to have Clara Amedroz for his wife long thinking that he would ask her to marry him; and having for months indulged such thoughts, he could not take blame to himself for having made to his aunt that deathbed promise which she had exacted. At the moment in which she asked him the question he was himself anxious to do the thing she desired of him.
And had the wife lived, such would probably have been the case; for the Winterfields were known to be prudent people. But Mrs Amedroz had died young, and things with Bernard Amedroz had gone badly. And yet the evil had not been so much with him as with that terrible boy of his. The father had been nearly forty when he married.
As has been said before, Clara Amedroz, who was now nearly twenty-six years of age, was not a young-looking woman. To the eyes of many men that would have been her fault; but in the eyes of Belton it was no fault.
'Unless she sends me a full apology, with a promise that she will have no further intercourse whatever with that woman, I will never willingly see her again. A meeting was therefore arranged between Captain Aylmer and Miss Amedroz in a sitting-room upstairs. 'What is all this, Clara? said Captain Aylmer, at once. 'Simply this that your mother has insulted me most wantonly.
'Then on what footing, Miss Amedroz, do you do us the honour of being with us here at Aylmer Park? 'On a very foolish footing. 'On a foolish footing! What does that mean? 'It means that I have been foolish in coming to a house in which I am subjected to such questioning. 'Belinda, did you ever hear anything like this? Miss Amedroz, I must persevere, however much you may dislike it.
