Help!" that seemed to come from the upper window of Miss Belinda's cottage. "Gracious!" exclaimed the doctor. "Someone must be trying to kill Miss Belinda!" and he started for the cottage, intending to break down the door if it should be locked. Before he had gone two steps, the voice he heard before called once more, "Help! Help! Beat it! Beat it!" and then, looking up, he saw Polly.
But heaven reveals not what, or how, or where: Warned by the sylph, oh pious maid, beware! This to disclose is all thy guardian can: Beware of all, but most beware of Man!" Then Shock, Belinda's dog, "Who thought she slept too long, Leaped up, and waked his mistress with his tongue." So Belinda rises and is dressed. While her maid seems to do the work,
Captain Sunderland kneeling with Virginia, if you please, sir, at her father's feet: you in the act of giving them your blessing, Mr. Hartley. Mrs. Ormond clasps her hands with joy nothing can be better than that, madam I give you infinite credit for the attitude. Clarence, you have a right to Belinda's hand, and may kiss it too: nay, Miss Portman, it is the rule of the stage.
You see I am not an obstinate old woman, though I was cross the first day I saw you at Lady Anne Percival's. I found I was mistaken in your character, and I am glad of it. But this note of Lady Delacour's seems to have struck you dumb." There were, indeed, a few words in this note, which deprived him, for some moments, of all power of utterance. Vincent, Belinda's admirer, is here.
With hairy springes we the birds betray, Slight lines of hair surprise the finny prey, Fair tresses man's imperial race insnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair." The "Adventurous Baron" next appears upon the scene. He, greatly admiring Belinda's shining locks, longs to possess one, and makes up his mind that he will.
She walked up and down the room looked at her watch fancied that it had stopped held it to her ear ran the bell every quarter of an hour, to inquire whether the messenger was not yet come back. At last, the long-expected packet arrived. She seized it, and hurried with it immediately to Belinda's room. "Clarence Hervey's packet, my love! Now, woe be to the person who interrupts us!"
To Belinda's great satisfaction, Mr. Vincent forbore this evening any attempt to renew the conversation of the morning; he endeavoured to mix, with his usual animation and gaiety, in the family society; and her embarrassment was much lessened when she heard the next day, at breakfast, that he was gone to Harrowgate. Lady Anne Percival took notice that she was this morning unusually sprightly.
I will see her early, as early as I can to-morrow, and put you out of suspense." "Most generous of human beings!" exclaimed Vincent; "I cannot express to you what I feel; but your own heart, your own approbation " "Farewell, good night," interrupted Clarence; "I see that I have made a friend I was determined that Belinda's husband should be my friend I have succeeded beyond my hopes.
And then Belinda and Becky discovered them, and made for their beloved mistress, and conversation on the picnic or any other topic was at an end. There was a noisy scrambling in the vines outside of Anne's window early on Monday morning, and the little maid opened her eyes to see Belinda's white head peeping over the sill, and Belinda's white paws holding on like grim death to the ledge.
"How old do you take my lord to be?" whispered her ladyship, as she saw Belinda's eye fixed upon the trembling hand which carried his teacup to his lips: "I'll lay you a wager," continued she aloud "I'll lay your birth-night dress, gold fringe, and laurel wreaths into the bargain, that you don't guess right." "I hope you don't think of going to this birth-night, lady Delacour?" said his lordship.
