"I do not know what my mother said to you, my dear fellow, but they go to Brentham the day after to-morrow, and will not return. The duchess has been for a long time wishing this, but Corisande would stay. She thought they would only bother themselves about my affairs, and there was more distraction for them in town. But now they are going, and it is for Corisande they go.
When the duchess rose, the bishop accompanied her into the recess of a window, and she said: "You may depend upon me; I cannot answer for the duke. It is not the early rising; he always rises early in the country, but he likes to read his letters before he dresses, and that sort of thing. I think you had better speak to Lady Corisande yourself."
He was resolved she should not feel he was annoyed by her not having been a member of his congregation in the morning. Lady Corisande too had said to him: "I wish so much you would talk to Mrs. Campian; she is a sweet, noble creature, and so clever! I feel that she might be brought to view things in the right light." "I never know," said the bishop, "how to deal with these American ladies.
"Corisande," replied the duchess, after a pause, "has absolutely not yet entered the world. Corisande is a child; and you you, my dear friend I am sure you will pardon me If I say, so you are not very much older than Corisande."

Lord Culloden, at the request of Lady Corisande, had consented to their hearing the bishop, which he would not do himself.

Lady Corisande said little, but, when she was more composed, she told him that from the first her heart had been his, but every thing seemed to go against her hopes.
"Let us rest here for a while;" said Lothair, "under the shade of this oak;" and Lady Corisande reclined against its mighty trunk, and Lothair threw himself at her feet. He had a great deal still to tell her, and, among other things, the story of the pearls, which he had wished to give to Theodora. "She was, after all, your good genius," said Lady Corisande. "I always liked her."
I think Carisbrooke has serious thoughts; but there are some who prefer Lady Grizell." "Lady Corisande was your idol last season," said Lothair. "Oh, she is out of the running," said Hugo; "she is finished. But I have not heard yet of any day being fixed. I wonder, when he marries, whether Brecon will keep on his theatre?" "His theatre!"
