I had intended restoring them to him; but as his return is delayed, I mean to place them in Chelford's hands; because I have made up my mind, a week ago, to put an end to this odious engagement. It is all over. Lady Chelford stared at the audacious young lady with a look of incensed amazement for some seconds, unable to speak. 'Upon my word, young lady! vastly fine and independent!
When Miss Brandon returned, Lake was unfortunately on duty beside old Lady Chelford, whom it was important to propitiate, and who was in the middle of a story an extraordinary favour from her ladyship; and he had the vexation to see Lord Chelford palpably engaging Miss Brandon for the next dance.
Some jewels, I think, for Dorcas. He did not say distinctly; I only conjecture. Lady Chelford and Miss Brandon, I suppose, in the drawing-room? So to the drawing-room he passed. 'How is Rachel? how is your sister, Captain Lake, have you seen her to-day? asked old Lady Chelford, rather benignantly. She chose to be gracious to the Lakes. 'Only, for a moment, thank you.

In fact, the chances were against the captain, and he, Buddle, would wish a consultation with a London surgeon whoever Lord Chelford lead most confidence in Sir Francis Seddley, he thought, would be very desirable but, of course, it was for the family to decide.
