The result of such an essentially debased state of feeling as this was not slow in declaring itself. But for a lucky accident, Mr. Cosway would have discovered to what extremities of ill-bred curiosity idleness and folly can lead persons holding the position of ladies and gentlemen, when he joined the company at breakfast on the next morning.
Pounce instantly left the room, without waiting for any further remark from Cosway's friend. "I wish we had gone to some other house," said Stone. "You mark my words that woman means to cheat us." Cosway expressed his dissent from this opinion in the most amiable manner. He filled his friend's glass, and begged him not to say ill-natured things of Mrs. Pounce.
Cosway discreetly alluded to the unsolved mysteries of the invitation and the message. "Have you taken anybody into our confidence?" he asked. Adela answered with some embarrassment. "Only one person," She said "dear Miss Benshaw." "Who is Miss Benshaw?" "Don't you really know, Edwin?
Cosway presented himself at the house, troubled by natural emotions of anxiety and suspense. His reception was not of a nature to compose him. He was shown into a darkened room. The one lamp on the table was turned down low, and the little light thus given was still further obscured by a shade. The corners of the room were in almost absolute darkness.
Cosway's drawing-rooms. The elect of society, for the first time on the same floor and under the same roof, met and shook hands, deriving a curious piquant sort of pleasure from the proceeding, with Bohemia; the word must be used, though not an agreeable one, much misused and liable to be misinterpreted, and above all, though in the Cosway period it was altogether unknown and unheard of.
Upper Berkeley Street contains a Jewish Synagogue, built in 1870 for Jewish dissenters. Brunswick Chapel was built in 1684 by Evelyn Cosway for Lady Berkeley. In Bryanston Street there is a synagogue which was built for the Spanish and Portuguese Jews resident at the West End. This has been recently superseded by a much larger building in Lauderdale Road, Sutherland Avenue.
Cosway matched him in generosity. "No," he answered. "It was I who brought you here; and I who led you into these infernal expenses. I ought to pay the penalty and I will." Before Stone could remonstrate, the five minutes expired. Punctual Mrs. Pounce appeared again in the doorway. "Well?" she inquired, "which is it to be Cosway, or Stone?"
"They are Setoun things some of the few that came to me," said Lady Mary, rather timidly. "I am afraid they would not interest you." "Not interest me! But indeed I care only too much for such things," said John. "Here is a Cosway, and, unless I very much mistake, a Plimer, and an Engleheart." Lady Mary unlocked the cabinet with pretty eagerness, and put a small morocco case into his hands.
The stout gentleman rose with fury in his looks. He burst out with an oath; and added the in tolerable question, already three times repeated by others: "How did you get here?" The tone was even more offensive than the oath. "Your age protects you, sir," said Cosway, with the loftiest composure. "I'm sorry I gave my name to so rude a person." "Rude?" shouted the old gentleman.
The next event was the appearance of an agent, instructed to sell the business in consequence of the landlady's declining health. Add the death at a later time and there is the beginning and the end of the story. Fortune owed you a good turn, Cosway and Fortune has paid the debt. Accept my best congratulations." Arrived in London, Stone went on at once to his relations in the North.
