Arnott on the merits of Marlborough, whose Campaigns he desired him to present to the 20th Regiment, learning that they did not, possess a copy in their library. On the 15th of April Napoleon's doors were closed to all but Montholon and Marchand, and it appeared that he had been making his Will. On the 19th he was better, was free from pain, sat up, and ate a little.
Mrs Harrel then wept bitterly, nor could the gentle Mr Arnott, forbear, while he tried to comfort her, mixing his own tears with those of his beloved sister; but Cecilia, whose reason was stronger, and whose justice was offended, felt other sensations: and leaving Mrs Harrel to the care of her brother, whose tenderness she infinitely compassionated, she retreated into her own room.
'I may be ass enough to walk into a ground-circuit, said Arnott, 'but I don't dismiss my Fleet till I'm reasonably sure that trouble is over. They're in position still, and I intend to keep 'em there till the Serviles are shipped out of the district. That last little crowd meant murder, my friends. 'Nerves! All nerves! said Pirolo. 'You cannot argue with agoraphobia.
She knew well, that deep as was at present her despondency, the removal of all possibility of hope, by her knowledge of Delvile's marriage, must awaken her before long from the delusive visions of her romantic fancy; Mr Arnott himself was in a situation exactly similar, and the knowledge of the same event would probably be productive of the same effect.
"Well! it won't happen, so it is no use to talk about it," said Ethel. "Fancy my having made you cry." "Very silly of me," said Meta, brightening and laughing, but sighing. "I am only afraid Mrs. Arnott may think me individually unfit for the kind of life, as if I could not do what other women can. Do I look so?"
Arnott some relics of herself still remaining; but the nervous tremulousness of manner did not much comfort her, although Margaret answered cheerfully. Nothing was so effectual in composing the aunt as Aubrey's coming headlong in to announce the gig, and to explain to Margaret his last design for a cathedral drawing plans being just now his favourite sport.
Mrs Mears and Mrs Harrel vacated their seats in a moment, and Mr Gosport and Mr Arnott assisted in clearing the table, and removing Cecilia, who was very slightly hurt, and at once surprised, ashamed, and pleased at the manner in which she had been saved.
Arnott asked me if I wore as many stockings when I was observing as the Herschels he said Sir William put on twelve pairs and Caroline fourteen! "I stayed until eleven o'clock, then I said 'Good-by, and just as I stepped upon the threshold of the drawing-room to go out, a broad old man stepped upon it, and the servant announced 'Mr. Babbage, and of course that glimpse was all I shall ever have!
"We bow to a beneficial despotism, and never rebel, do we, Meta?" Seeing that Ethel took the imputation to heart, Meta rejoined, "You are making Mrs. Arnott think her the strong-minded woman of the family, who winds up the clock and cuts the bread." "No; that she makes you do, when the boys are away." "Of course," said Ethel, "I can't be vituperated about hunches of bread.
"Tell Ethel she will be the best mother to her. Name her Margaret make her a Daisy of your own don't call her after me," she said, with such passionate caresses, that Mrs. Arnott was glad to take the babe away. Dr. May's next expedient was to speak to her of her husband, who needed her more than all, and to call him in.
