'Yes sit down by me, won't you, my dear Lady Berryl but then I considered you as my cousin, Lord Colambre, and I thought you felt the same towards me; but now
Lady Berryl hastened to her friend's assistance. "There! her colour's coming again," said Lord Clonbrony; "come away, my dear Lady Clonbrony, for the present, and so will I though I long to talk to the darling girl myself; but she is not equal to it yet." When Grace came to herself, she first saw Lady Berryl leaning over her, and, raising herself a little, she said, "What has happened?
'True! very true, Lady Berryl, interrupted Lady Clonbrony; 'and I'll be as delicate as you please about it afterwards; but, in the first and foremost place, I must tell her the best part of the story that she's an heiress, madam, never killed anybody! So, darting through all opposition, Lady Clonbrony made her way into the room where Grace was lying 'Yes, get up! get up! my own Grace, and be surprised well you may! you are an heiress, after all.
Berryl; you may be ashamed for me, but I feel no shame for myself I am not so weak. Mordicai's countenance said more than his words; livid with malice, and with atrocious determination in his eyes, he stood. 'Yes, sir, said he, 'you may look at me as you please it is possible I am in earnest.
But I flatter myself you will feel, when I tell you that it is your friend, Sir Arthur Berryl, as I always prophesied, who has carried off the prize from you."
But, after having heard all the circumstances, I can only tell you that I willingly resign the pleasure of your company. 'But tell her, my dear Lady Berryl, said Lord Colambre, 'excellent friend as you are explain to her you can, better than any of us, all that is to be known; let her know my whole conduct, and then let her decide for herself, and I shall submit to her decision.
Stop your hand, if you choose it, sir it's all the same to me; the person, or the money, I'll carry with me out of this house. Mr. Beryl signed the bond, and threw it to him. 'There, monster! quit the house! 'Monster is not actionable I wish you had called me rascal, said Mordicai, grinning a horrible smile; and taking up the bond deliberately, returned it to Mr. Berryl.
Had Mr. Berryl bargained with me, I should have told him that he should have looked to these things before his carriage went out of our yard." The indignation of Lord Colambre kindled at these words but in vain: to all that indignation could by word or look urge against Mordicai, he replied, "May be so, sir: the law is open to your friend the law is open to all men, who can pay for it."
Berryl must just run over his name again in your presence, my lord, with a dry pen, said Mordicai, putting the pen into Mr. Berryl's hand. 'No, sir, said Lord Colambre, 'my friend shall never sign it. 'As you please, my lord the bond or the body, before I quit this house, said Mordicai. 'Neither, sir, shall you have; and you quit this house directly. 'How! how! my lord, how's this?
In the interval, poor Grace was, indeed, in an anxious state of suspense; and her uncertainty, whether she was doing right or wrong, by staying to see Lord Colambre, tormented her most. "My dear, you cannot help yourself: be quiet," said Lady Berryl: "I will take the whole upon my conscience; and I hope my conscience may never have any thing worse to answer for."
