Miss Broadhurst appeared, plainly dressed plainly, even to singularity without any diamonds or ornament. 'Brought Philippa to you, my dear Lady Clonbrony, this figure, rather than not bring her at all, said puffing Mrs. Broadhurst; 'and had all the difficulty in the world to get her out at all, and now I've promised she shall stay but half an hour.
"O dear! what a move was there!" cried Lady Catherine. "Miss Broadhurst is so entertaining to-night, notwithstanding her sore throat, that one can positively attend to nothing else. And she talks of love and lovers too with such connoissance de fait counts her lovers by dozens, tied up in true lovers' knots!" "Lovers! no, no! Did I say lovers? suitors I should have said.
'And I own I was originally under the universal error, that my Lord Colambre was to be married to the great heiress, Miss Broadhurst; but I have been converted and reformed on that score, and am at present quite in another way and style of thinking. Petito paused, in hopes that her lady would ask, what was her present way of thinking?
Miss Broadhurst drew her seat to the fire; Lady Catherine sat down to play with Lord Colambre: Lady Clonbrony withdrew, again recommending Miss Broadhurst to Grace Nugent's care. After some commonplace conversation, Lady Anne H , looking at the company in the adjoining apartment, asked her sister how old Miss Somebody was who passed by.
"What a brazen creature!" whispered Miss Jemima Parkinson, an interesting spinster of thirty-six, to Miss Ellen Broadhurst, who was only thirty-four; and Miss Ellen whispered back, in reply: "She hasn't the slightest bit of shame!" Interesting virgins! they had come to gloat over the spectacle of shame.
"I see him now," said Lady Langdale, examining him through her glass; "a very gentlemanlike looking young man indeed." "Not an Irishman, I am sure, by his manner," said her grace. "Heathcock!" said Lady Langdale, "who is Miss Broadhurst talking to?" "Eh! now really 'pon honour don't know," replied Heathcock.
"But, my dear Colambre, Miss Broadhurst is every thing you could wish, except being a beauty." "Perhaps, madam," said Lord Colambre, fixing his eyes on Miss Nugent, "you think that I can see no farther than a handsome face?" The unconscious Grace Nugent now made a warm eulogium of Miss Broadhurst's sense, and wit, and independence of character.
'Then, Colambre, you are very disobliging, said Lady Clonbrony, with an expression of disappointment and displeasure; 'for your father says, if you don't marry Miss Broadhurst, we can't live in Lon'on another winter. This said which, had she been at the moment mistress of herself, she would not have let out Lady Clonbrony abruptly quitted the room. Her son stood motionless, saying to himself
"And even birth, were it to be bought, I would not buy," said Miss Broadhurst, "unless I could be sure to have it with all the politeness, all the noble sentiments, all the magnanimity, in short, all that should grace and dignify high birth." "Admirable!" said Lord Colambre. Grace Nugent smiled. "Lord Colambre, will you have the goodness to put my mother in mind, I must go away?"
'Oh dear! what a move was there! cried Lady Catharine. 'Miss Broadhurst is so entertaining to-night, notwithstanding her sore throat, that one can positively attend to nothing else. And she talks of love and lovers too with such CONNAISSANCE DE FAIT counts her lovers by dozens, tied up in true-lovers' knots! 'Lovers! no, no! Did I say lovers? suitors I should have said.
