Horace presented these most gracefully to Lady Cecilia and Helen, and was charmed with Lady Cecilia's parting compliments, which finished with the words "Quite chivalrous." And so, after all the changes and chances of weather, wind, and humour, all ended well, and no one rued the hawking of this day.
The girls walked on in silence, and when they came to the end of the path and their parting was inevitable, there was something of the passion of the lover in Cecilia's voice: 'Promise me you will come to see me soon again. You'll not leave me so long; you will write; I shall not be able to live if I don't hear from you.
I let my hand rest lightly on Cecilia's hands; and in the sweetness of the gathering dusk we both dream. Like the scent of flowers, the different natures seem to find a more precise expression as their shapes fade. I explain them to Cecilia, who does not know them. Aurélie and Renée draw my eyes with their laughter; and I begin with them.
They had almost reached their door, the great pillared porch of the mysterious Palazzo Massimo, in which they had an apartment, for they did not live in the villa where the garden party was to be given. Cecilia's gloved hand went out quietly to the Countess's and gently pressed it. "Let me think my own thoughts, mother," she said; "they shall never hurt you."

Cecilia begged for the French lady's name to be repeated; she had not heard it before, and she tasted the strange bitter relish of realization when it struck her ear to confirm a story that she believed indeed, but had not quite sensibly felt.

She found it rather harder to catch Cecilia's reply, but she caught it before Stephen did. It was, 'You'd better wait, perhaps, conveyed by a tiny raising of the left eyebrow and a slight movement to the right of the lower lip.
Somebody informed me of their having been seen at Romfrey Castle, which cannot have been true. She turned her eyes from Beauchamp silent to Cecilia's hand on the teapot. 'Half a cup, she said mildly, to spare the poor hand its betrayal of nervousness, and relapsed from her air of mistress of the situation to chatter to Mr. Austin. Beauchamp continued silent.
Yet she could not forbear being hurt by finding that the behaviour of Delvile was so exactly the same to them both, that any common observer would with difficulty have pronounced which he preferred. One morning about a week after her ladyship's arrival at the castle, she came running into Cecilia's room, saying she had very good news for her.
The next Sunday, needless to say, Society was not present; and within half a year the church was stranded, and had to be dismantled and sold! They had elaborate music at St. Cecilia's, so beautiful that Alice felt uncomfortable, and thought that it was perilously "high." At this Mrs.
"You know the reason I consented was to prevent the danger of any shock to Lady Davenant." "Well, I know, but what did I promise?" The words had in reality passed Lady Cecilia's lips at the time without her at all considering them as a promise, only as a means of persuasion to bring Helen to her point. "What did I promise?" repeated she.
