On his first perusal of the letter from Grace, Lord Colambre had feared that she would have left Buxton with Lady Berryl before he could reach it; but, upon recollection, he hoped that the few lines he had written, addressed to his mother AND Miss Nugent, with the assurance that he should be with them on Wednesday, would be sufficient to show her that some great change had happened, and consequently sufficient to prevent her from quitting her aunt, till she could know whether such a separation would be necessary.
In a few minutes the account was reduced to a reasonable form, and, in consideration of the partner's having made the bargain, by which Mr. Mordicai felt himself influenced in honour, though not bound in law, he undertook to have the curricle made better than new again, for Mr. Berryl, for twenty guineas. Then came awkward apologies to Lord Colambre, which he ill endured.
And shall I too be an absentee? was a question which resulted from these reflections a question which he was not yet prepared to answer decidedly. In the meantime, the first business of the morning was to execute a commission for a Cambridge friend. Mr. Berryl had bought from Mr.
They passed rapidly along the passage to Lady Clonbrony's room. "Oh, my dear, dear Lady Berryl, come! or I shall die with impatience," cried Lady Clonbrony, in a voice and manner between laughing and crying. "There, now you have congratulated, are very happy, and very glad, and all that now, for mercy's sake, sit down, Lord Clonbrony! for Heaven's sake, sit down beside me here or any where!
A letter from Lady Clonbrony arrived; he opened it with the greatest eagerness passed over 'Rheumatism warm weather warm bath Buxton balls Miss Broadhurst your FRIEND, Sir Arthur Berryl, very assiduous! The name of Grace Nugent he found at last, and read as follows: Her mother's maiden name was ST. OMAR; and there was a FAUX PAS, certainly.
Next came fashion, with his head, heart, and soul in his cravat he quickly made his bow, or rather his nod, and walked off, taking a pinch of snuff. Then came a man of wit but it was wit without worth; and presently came 'worth without wit. She preferred 'wit and worth united, which she fortunately at last found, Lord Colambre, in your friend, Sir Arthur Berryl."
Broadhurst attributed to an unexpected occurrence, which prevented things from going on in the train in which they had been proceeding so smoothly. Sir John Berryl, Mr. Berryl's father, was suddenly seized with a dangerous illness. The news was brought to Mr. Berryl one evening whilst he was at Lady Clonbrony's.
She revoked, and lost the game, though they had four by honours. As soon as she rose from the card-table, and could speak to Mrs. Broadhurst apart, she communicated her apprehensions. 'Seriously, my dear madam, said she, 'I believe I have done very wrong to admit Mr. Berryl just now, though it was on Grace's account I did it.
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 some convenience to him in accelerating the journey to Ireland, which Sir Arthur and Lady Berryl knew was his lordship's object.
But I am sorry, very sorry, it must be so. 'Oh, spare me your sorrow! 'My sorrow is for Lord Colambre, said Miss Nugent. 'Where will he find such a wife? Not in Miss Berryl, I am sure pretty as she is; a mere fine lady! Is it possible that Lord Colambre! Lord Colambre! should prefer such a girl Lord Colambre!
