"In the first place," said she, "let me assure you, that I rejoice in this marriage: I think your friend, Sir Arthur Berryl, is every way deserving of my friend Miss Broadhurst; and this from me," said she, smiling, "is no slight eulogium.
'Oh, wonder upon wonder! and joy upon joy! cried Lady Clonbrony. 'So my darling Grace is as legitimate as I am, and an heiress after all. Where is she? where is she? In your room, Lady Berryl? Oh, Colambre! why wouldn't you let her be by? Lady Berryl, do you know, he would not let me send for her, though she was the person of all others most concerned!
His daughters, who had lived in the highest style in London, were left totally unprovided for. His widow had mortgaged her jointure. Mr. Berryl had an estate now left to him, but without any income. He could not be so dishonest as to refuse to pay his father's just debts; he could not let his mother and sisters starve.
"I will hope that you will do now, as you have always hitherto done, on every occasion where I have seen you act, what is right, and just, and kind. Come here on the day you promised my aunt you would; before that time I shall be in Cambridgeshire, with my friend Lady Berryl; she is so good as to come to Buxton for me I shall remain with her, instead of returning to Ireland.
I have explained my reasons to my dear aunt Could I have any concealment from her, to whom, from my earliest childhood, I owe every thing that kindness and affection could give? She is satisfied she consents to my living henceforward with Lady Berryl. Let me have the pleasure of seeing by your conduct, that you approve of mine. "Your affectionate cousin "and friend,
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.
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 anything worse to answer for.
Tell me that, for I love to hear odd things." "Perhaps you will not think it odd," said she. "One evening but I should begin by telling you that three of her admirers, besides Sir Arthur Berryl, had followed her to Buxton, and had been paying their court to her all the time we were there; and at last grew impatient for her decision." "Ay, for her definitive!" said Lord Clonbrony.
Lady Berryl went to Lady Clonbrony's apartment; she was met by Sir Arthur. 'Come, my love! come quick! Lord Colambre is arrived. 'I know it; and does he go to Ireland? Speak instantly, that I may tell Grace Nugent. 'You can tell her nothing yet, my love; for we know nothing. Lord Colambre will not say a word till you come; but I know, by his countenance, that he has good and extraordinary news.
He then waited upon Lord Colambre, and informed him, that he had just received a letter from Sir Arthur Berryl, who, with the consent and desire of his lady, requested that whatever money might be required by Lord Clonbrony should be immediately supplied on their account, without waiting till Lord Colambre should be of age, as the ready money might be of same convenience to him in accelerating the journey to Ireland, which Sir Arthur and Lady Berryl knew was his lordship's object.
