Cecilia then came to divert herself with looking at Beauclerc's scribbled plan, and she read the notes aloud for her mother's amusement.
Lady Katrine heard the observation, and smiled her odious smile implying more than words could say. Helen was not quite clear, however, what it meant to say. Some days afterwards Lady Katrine took up a book, in which Helen's name was written in Beauclerc's hand.
The general came up the steps at this moment, rolling a note between his fingers, and looking displeased. Lady Davenant inquired if he could tell her the cause of Mr. Beauclerc's delay. He could not. Lady Cecilia exclaimed "Very extraordinary! Provoking! Insufferable! Intolerable!" "It is Mr.
