He begged Lady Arpington to send down to the place and have the young countess fetched to her, and keep her until he came. Admiral Baldwin sat up to sign the letter. 'Yes, and write "miracles happen when the devil's abroad" done it ! he said, sinking back. 'Now seal, you'll find wax the ring at my watch- chain.
Once Lady Arpington, reasoning with her on behalf of the husband who sought reconciliation, sneered at her brother's project, condemned it the more for his resolve to carry it out now that he had means. The front of a shower sprang to Carinthia's eyelids.
Such was his need of one, that the wife he crushed had to be proposed for sacrifice, in the mind of a lady tending strongly to side with her and condemn her husband. Lady Arpington had counselled Carinthia to stay where she was, the Fates having brought her there. Henrietta was too generous to hesitate in her choice between her husband's sister and the earl.

Unusual as they were, almost unknown, they were thunder-drops and shook her. All for the vivid surface, the Dame frets at stresses laid on undercurrents.
With her own eyes, Lady Arpington saw her there; and she can't be got to leave the place unless her husband drives his coach down to fetch her.
Fleetwood went his way to Lady Arpington almost complacently, having fought and laid his wilder self.
Her mask of ingenuousness was flung away for a look of craft, which could be power; and with her changed aspect his tolerance changed to hatred.
