The young lady lives in this house, and her name is Augusta Eardham. This letter was sent by messenger from Cavendish Square, with a very handsome watch and chain. A month afterwards, when he was preparing to leave London for Brayboro' Park, he received a little packet, with a note as follows; Linton, Devonshire, Wednesday.
Sir George, who had been pressed upon home service because of the necessity of the occasion, was anxious to get off to his club. "You are very kind, Sir George," said Ralph. "We shall be delighted to see you at Brayboro', if you'll come for a week in September and look at the girls' horses. They say you're quite a pundit about horseflesh." "Oh, I don't know," said Ralph.
On the 14th Ralph was to be allowed to run down to the moors just for one week, and then he was to be back, passing between Newton and Brayboro', signing deeds and settlements, preparing for their wedding tour, and obedient in all things to Eardham influences.
I believe we shall be married about the end of August. As the ceremony will take place down at Brayboro', I fear that I cannot expect that you or Patience and Clarissa should come so far. Pray tell them my news, with my best love. Yours, most grateful for all your long kindness, I am very sorry that you should have been troubled by letters from Mr. Neefit. The matter has been arranged at last.
You will, I hope, be glad to hear that I am engaged to be married to Augusta Eardham, the second daughter of Sir George Eardham, of Brayboro' Park, in Berkshire. Of course you will know the name, and I rather think you were in the House when Sir George sat for Berkshire. Augusta has got no money, but I have not been placed under the disagreeable necessity of looking out for a rich wife.
"It doesn't seem that he means to bark at yours," said the elder sister. "If you go on like that, girls, I'll tell your papa, and we'll go to Brayboro' at once. It's too bad, and I won't bear it." "What would you have me do?" said Gus, standing up for herself fiercely. Gus did ride, and so did Josephine, and there was a servant with them of course.
"And mind you have your coat made just as I told you," said Augusta. So they parted. Early in September they were married with great éclat at Brayboro', and Lady Eardham spared nothing on the occasion. It was her first maternal triumph, and all the country round was made to know of her success. The Newtons had been at Newton for she did not know how many hundred years.
