Cambray that Ormond was going to commence his grand tour immediately, and who heard him make a number of preparatory inquiries when he had been first at Annaly, naturally turned the conversation often to the subject.
"As to that, I don't know: he was my friend, and I loved him sincerely warmly he has cast me off I shall never complain never blame him directly or indirectly; but don't let me be accused or suspected unjustly I never for one instant had the treachery, presumption, folly, or madness, to think of Miss Annaly." "Nor she of you, I suppose, you'll swear?"
Under the influence of benevolent enthusiasm, he continually forgot the precarious tenure by which he held his life. It was now the middle of winter, and one stormy night a vessel was wrecked on the coast near Annaly. The house was at such a distance from that part of the shore where the vessel struck, that Sir Herbert knew nothing of it till the next morning, when it was all over.
They had looked out maps and prints, and they had taken down from their shelves the different books of travels, which might be most useful to him, with guides, and post-road books, and all that could speed the parting guest. But the guest had no mind to part every thing, every body at Annaly, he found so agreeable and so excellent.
"Nor she of me! assuredly not, sir," said Harry, with surprise at the idea. "Do you consider what I am and what she is?" "Well, I am glad they are gone to England out of the way!" said Cornelius. "I am very sorry for that," said Harry; "for I have lost a kind friend in Lady Annaly one who at least I might have hoped would have become my friend, if I had deserved it."
The moment Ormond produced the cover, the soiled cover of the letters, a glimpse of the truth struck Florence Annaly; and before he had got farther in his sentence than these words, "I did not receive your ladyship's letter till within these few days," all the reserve of Lady Annaly's manner was dispelled: her smiles relieved his apprehensions, and encouraged him to proceed in his story with happy fluency.
To those who like to know the how, the when, and the where, it should be told that it was evening when he arrived. Florence Annaly was walking with her mother by the seaside, in one of the most beautiful and retired parts of the coasts of Devonshire, when they were told by a servant that a gentleman from Ireland had just arrived at their house, and wished to see them.
Before this was accomplished, he learnt from the agent that Lady Annaly was in great affliction about her son, who had broken a blood-vessel. He could not think of intruding upon her at such a time and, in short, he put it off till it seemed too late to write at all.
What influence the sister's charms might have to increase Ormond's admiration of the brother, we shall not presume to determine; but certainly he liked Sir Herbert Annaly better than any young man he had ever seen. Sir Herbert was some years older than Ormond; he was in his twenty-seventh year: but at this age he had done more good in life than many men accomplish during their whole existence.
"And there is no telling or conceiving," pursued Mrs. "I cannot contradict that I wish I could," said Lady Annaly. "But I see your ladyship and Miss Annaly do not consider this matter as seriously as I could wish. 'Tis an infatuation," said Mrs. M'Crule, uttering a sigh, almost a groan, for her ladyship's and her daughter's infatuation.
