At the time the general saw him he was speechless, but when Beauclerc and his second, Lord Beltravers, had come up to him, he had extended his hand in token of forgiveness to one or the other, but to which he had addressed the only words he had uttered could not be ascertained; the words were, "You are not to blame! escape! fly!" Both had fled to the Continent.
"Lord Beltravers was in company with a set who were striving, with all their might of dissimulation, to appear better than they are, and he, as he always does, strove to make himself appear worse than he really is." "Unnecessary, I should think," said Lady Davenant. "Impossible, I should think," said the general.
She asked again the name of Mr. Beauclerc's second? "Lord Beltravers," the general repeated with a forcible accent, and loosening his neck-cloth with his finger, he added, "Rascal! as I always told Beauclerc that he was, and so he will find him too late." Except this exacerbation, the general was calmly reserved in speech, and Mrs.
Reasonably as Beauclerc now spoke, Helen formed a new idea of his capacity, and began to think more respectfully even of his common sense, than when she had heard him in the Beltravers cause. He spoke of the causes of England's prosperity, the means by which she maintains her superiority among nations her equal laws and their just administration.
As Cecilia listened, she cast her eyes upon a card which lay on the table "Lord Beltravers," and a new light flashed upon her, a light favourable to her present purpose; for since the object was altered with Lady Castlefort, since it was not Beauclerc any longer, there would be no further ill-will towards Helen.
May I ask why Lord Beltravers could not possibly have appeared to advantage at Lady Grace Bland's?" "Because I know he cannot endure her; I have heard him, speaking of her, quote what Johnson or somebody says of Clariss 'a prating, preaching, frail creature." "Good!" said the general, "he said this of his own aunt!" "Aunt! You cannot mean that Lady Grace is his aunt?" cried Beauclerc.
This Lord Beltravers well knew, and yet when he found that the slander made no impression upon Beauclerc, and that he was only intent upon discovering the slanderer, he, with dexterous treachery, contrived to turn the tables upon Churchill, and to direct all Beauclerc's suspicion towards him!
He asked me, 'Was not that Lord Beltravers whom I met? "'Yes, said I; 'he came to reproach me for not noticing his sister, and I answered him in such a manner as to make him clear that there was no hope. "'You did right, said he, 'if you did so. My mind was in such confusion that I could not quite command my countenance, and I put up my fan as if the lights hurt me.
At table, servants of course present, and myself a stranger, I heard Lord Beltravers begin by cursing England and all that inhabit it. 'But your country! remonstrated his aunt. He abjured England; he had no country, he said, no liberal man ever has; he had no relations what nature gave him without his consent he had a right to disclaim, I think he argued.
Beauclerc vouchsafed only a faint, absent smile, and, turning to his guardian, asked "Since Lord Beltravers was not to be allowed the honours of enemies, or the benefit of pleading prejudice, on what did the general form his judgment?" "From his own words." "Stay judgment, my dear general," cried Beauclerc; "words repeated! by whom?" "Repeated by no one heard from himself, by myself." "Yourself!
