Colonel Albemarle, being an officer, cannot quit his regiment till he has obtained leave of absence." "I am heartily glad of it," cried Ormond "I will make the best use of my time before he comes. But, my dear doctor, do you think Lady Annaly do you think Sir Herbert wish it to be?"
"Miss Black, open the door, and not another word." He edged Miss Annaly on, the moment the door opened, dragged Lady O'Shane after him, pushed Miss Black back as she attempted to follow: but, recollecting that she might spread the report of mischief, if he left her behind, drew her into the green-house, locked the door, and led Miss Annaly out into the air.
Ormond, inordinately impatient, could not rest a moment. The next morning he set off at full speed for Annaly, determined to find out what was the matter. Arrived there, a new footman came to the door with "Not at home, sir."
At this moment a window-blind was flapped aside, and before the wind blew it back to its place again, Ormond saw Florence Annaly sitting on a sofa, and a gentleman, in regimentals, kneeling at her feet. "Bless my eyes!" cried the groom, "what made you let go his bridle, sir? Only you sat him well, sir, he would ha' thrown you that minute Curse the blind! that flapped in his eyes."
Her ladyship went, however, as far from morality as possible to Paris. She spoke of the success Mr. Ormond had had in Parisian society she spoke of M. and Madame de Connal, and various persons with whom he had been intimate, among others of the Abbe Morellet. Ormond rejoiced to find that Lady Annaly knew he had been in the Abbe Morellet's distinguished society.
"We think that you would be a perfectly happy man, if you could win Miss Annaly; and we wish you success most sincerely. But " "But Oh, my dear doctor, you alarm me beyond measure." "What! by wishing you success?" "No, but by something in your look and manner, and by that terrible but: you think that I shall never succeed you think that her heart is engaged.
Whether Tom Jones was still too much, and Lady Annaly too little, in his head whether it was that King Corny's example and precepts were not always edifying whether this young man had been prepared by previous errors of example and education or whether he fell into mischief because he had nothing else to do in these Black Islands; certain it is, that from the operation of some or all of these causes conjointly, he deteriorated sadly.
In some of the circumstances, there was sufficient truth to colour the falsehood. For example, with regard both to Peggy Sheridan, and Dora, the truth had been plausibly mixed with falsehood. The story of Peggy Sheridan, Lady Annaly had some suspicion might be true. Her ladyship, who had seen Moriarty's generous conduct to Ormond, was indignant at his ingratitude.
Lady Millicent followed but half the advice of her friend; she discountenanced the public attentions of her admirer, but she took opportunities of meeting him at private parties: Lady Annaly again interfered Lady Millicent was offended: but the death of her husband saved her from farther danger, and opened her eyes to the views of a man, who thought her no longer worthy his pursuit, when he might have her for life."
"I got 'em, and Granny said you'd like to see them, so she did and here's what will please you see my certificates see, signed by the doctor himself's own hand, and Father M'Cormuck, that's his name, with his blessing by the same token he gave me." Ormond looked with great satisfaction on Tommy's treasures, and Miss Annaly looked at them too with no small delight.
