'Certainly, replied Lady Chelford; 'that is, of course, under proper conditions, and with a due sense of its sacred character and a a obligations. 'The first of which is love, continued Miss Brandon; 'the second honour both involuntary; and the third obedience, which springs from them. Old Lady Chelford coughed, and then rallying, said 'Very good, Miss!
I had promised Chelford to run up to Redman's Farm, and let him know if the jury arrived at a verdict during his absence.
His letter to Chelford, six weeks ago, was from Boulogne; but his last was from Brighton; and Sir Julius Hockley witnessed I think they call it that letter of attorney which Mark sent about a week since to Mr.
Rachel, darling, you must not say that I love you so so desperately, you don't know. 'I can say nothing else, Lord Chelford. My mind is quite made up I am inexpressibly grateful you will never know how grateful but except as a friend and won't you still be my friend? I never can regard you. Rachel was so pale that her very lips were white as she spoke this in a melancholy but very firm way.
'Whatever may be the cause of Mark Wylder's present line of conduct, it appears to me that if he really did attend that meeting at the "Miller's Hall," there cannot be anything very serious weighing upon his spirits. My business will detain me here, I rather think, three days longer. By return of post Lord Chelford wrote to Stanley Lake:

Every day the position grew more critical and embarrassing. The day appointed for the nuptials was now very near, and the bridegroom not only out of sight but wholly untraceable. What was to be done? A long letter from Stanley Lake told Lord Chelford, in detail, all the measures adopted by that energetic young gentleman for the discovery of the truant knight:
I think Lord Chelford perceived there was something amiss between the young people, for his eye rested on Rachel with a momentary look of enquiry, unconscious, no doubt, and quickly averted, and he went on chatting pleasantly; but he looked, once or twice, a little hard at Stanley Lake. I don't think he had an extraordinarily good opinion of that young gentleman.
The sun just touched the verge of the wooded uplands, as the young people began to descend the slope of Redman's Dell. 'How very short! Lord Chelford paused, with a smile, at these words.
Lord Chelford was a lively and agreeable companion; but there was something unusually gentle, almost resembling tenderness, in his manner. She was so different from her gay, fiery self in this walk so gentle; so subdued and he was more interested by her, perhaps, than he had ever been before.
