This bright-eyed professor of palmistry soon, however, returned running, and out of breath, yet chatting all the time with inconceivable rapidity, and accompanying the startling communication she was evidently making with the most animated gestures. Beruna started up, and, leaving the astonished Cadurcis, joined them. She seemed alarmed.
Would you have smiled on me! he added, rather archly, and in a coaxing tone. 'I am more gratified that we have met here, said Lady Annabel. 'And thus, added Cadurcis. 'You have been a great traveller since we last met? said Lady Annabel, a little embarrassed. 'My days of restlessness are over, said Cadurcis.
Until Lord Monteagle, to the great regret of society, who really wished him to die in order that his antagonist might commit murder, was declared out of danger, Lord Cadurcis never quitted his house, and he was not a little surprised that scarcely a human being called upon him except his cousin, who immediately flew to his succour.
The Countess laughed, the carriage stopped, the book was brought; Lady Annabel looked uneasy, and tried to catch her daughter's countenance, but, strange to say, for the first time in her life was quite unsuccessful. The Countess took the book, and immediately gave it Venetia. 'There, my dear, said her aunt, 'there never was anything so charming. I am so provoked that Cadurcis is a Whig.
So, when her aunt returned, I jumped out and ran on to you at once. 'You are the best fellow that ever lived, George, said Lord Cadurcis; 'and now the world may go to the devil! This message from Venetia acted upon Lord Cadurcis like a charm. It instantly cleared his mind.
Cadurcis made a desperate charge, and her son, a little frightened at her almost maniacal passion, saved himself by suddenly seizing Lady Annabel's work-table, and whirling it before her; Mrs. Cadurcis fell over the leg of the table, and went into hysterics; while the bloodhound, who had long started from his repose, looked at his mistress for instructions, and in the meantime continued barking.
Cadurcis followed him into a spacious apartment, where he found a collection so considerable that he could not suppress his surprise. 'Italian spoils chiefly, said Herbert; 'a friend of mine purchased an old library at Bologna for me, and it turned out richer than I imagined: the rest are old friends that have been with me, many of them at least, at college.
Her mother, I think, would not be adverse to our union. And you, my dear sir, what do you think? 'I think, said Dr. Masham, 'that whoever marries Venetia will marry the most beautiful and the most gifted of God's creatures; I hope you may marry her; I wish you to marry her; I believe you will marry her, but not yet; you are too young, Lord Cadurcis.
She was annoyed that Cadurcis should have compromised his exalted reputation by so publicly dangling in the train of the new beauty: still more that he should have signified in so marked a manner the impression which the fair stranger had made upon him, by instantly accepting an invitation to a house so totally unconnected with his circle, and where, had it not been to meet this Miss Herbert, it would of course never have entered his head to be a visitor.
But you must not talk of cats and dogs to Cadurcis. He is too exalted to commemorate any animal less sublime than a tiger or a barb. 'You forget his beautiful lines on his Newfoundland, said the lady. 'Very complimentary to us all, said Mr. Horace Pole. 'The interesting misanthrope! 'He looks unhappy. 'Very, said Mr. Pole. 'Evidently something on his conscience.
