In truth, Aurelia was in the eyes of the Treforth sisters, descendants of a former Sir Jovian, only my Lady's poor kinswoman sent down to act gouvernante to the Wayland brats, who had been impertinently quartered in the Belamour household.
She was sorry when they were interrupted by a call from Mr. Wayland, who had reported himself at the Secretary of War, but could do no more that day, and had come to inquire for her. He and Mr. Belamour drew apart into a window, and conversed in a low voice, and then they came to her, and Mr.
Belamour thus learnt Aurelia's intention of throwing herself on Lady Belamour's mercy. "My mother utterly denied all knowledge of her, when I cried out in anguish when she came to see me!" said Sir Amyas. "So she does to Hargrave, whom she sent off to interrogate Mrs. Arden," said Mr. Belamour.
We shall have you enamoured of a voice like the youth they make sonnets about what's his name?" "Narcissus, madam," said Aurelia, put out of countenance by the banter. "Oh, you are learned. Is Mr. Belamour your tutor, pray? And oh fie! I have seen that ring before!" "He gave it to me yesterday," faltered Aurelia, "in case you should intend to take me away, and I should not see him again.
Amoret and he began kissing on the spot, but Fidelia, regarding must as a forbidden word, looked up at Aurelia with an inquiring protest in her eyes; but it was not heeded, in the doubt whether to follow Lady Belamour, who, with a stately greeting to Mrs. Aylward, had sailed into the withdrawing-room. The question was decided by Mrs.
Wayland said he must report himself to Government on the morrow; but intended afterwards to take his wife to Bowstead, whither she had sent all her children with Mrs. Dove. There was a great tenderness in his tone as he spoke of her, and when he took leave Mr. Belamour shrugged his shoulders saying, "She will come round him again!"
She was a cousin of theirs on the other side of the house, a loud-voiced buxom lass, who was thought to have married beneath here when she took Dr. Hunter; but apparently they have forgiven her." Mr. Belamour was evidently much interested and amused by Aurelia's small experiences and observations, such as they were.
"My cousin Delavie's own daughter," said the lady: "You have the family likeness." "So I have been told, madam." "Your father is well, I hope." "He was pretty well, I thank you Ladyship, when I heard from my sister ten days ago." "I shall see him in a week's time, and shall report well of his little daughter," said Lady Belamour kindly. "I am under obligations to you, my dear.
Her bearers were sent for refreshment to the bar, and the gentlemen stood looking on one another in the sitting-room, Mr. Wayland utterly shocked, incredulous of the little he did understand, and yet unable to go home until he should hear more; and the Major hardly less horrified, in the midst of his relief. "But where's Belamour!" he cried, "Your uncle, I mean." "Where?" said Sir Amyas.
I knew my Uncle Belamour was my sole true personal guardian, though he had never acted further than by affixing his signature when needed. I ought to have gone long before to see him, but as I now understand, obstacles had been purposely placed in my way, while my neglectful reluctance was encouraged.
