And looking at our young friend, he invited him to inform them. 'I met a most extraordinary man, said Coningsby. 'It should have been a heroine, exclaimed Lady Everingham.
It was not, therefore, only that nature had developed a beautiful woman out of a bashful girl since Coningsby's visit to Millbank; but really, every means and every opportunity that could contribute to render an individual capable of adorning the most accomplished circles of life, had naturally, and without effort, fallen to the fortunate lot of the manufacturer's daughter.

"I suppose you know I'm a dead man?" "I don't believe in death," Carey answered very quietly. Coningsby's eyes burned with a strange light. "Nor I," he said. "Nor I. I've been too near it before now to be afraid.
There ran through Coningsby's character, as we have before mentioned, a vein of simplicity which was not its least charm. It resulted, no doubt, in a great degree from the earnestness of his nature.

Carey's maimed hand came quietly into view, and closed upon the man's wrist.

The legacy of 50,000l. in his favour was revoked, and the same sum left to the Princess Lucretia. A similar amount was bequeathed to Mr. Rigby; and Coningsby was left sole residuary legatee. The marriage led to a considerable modification.
But there were many codicils. In 1832, the £10,000 was increased to £50,000. In 1836, after Coningsby's visit to the castle, £50,000 was left to the Princess Lucretia, and Coningsby was left sole residuary legatee.
