"In Mr. Delme's case, therefore, I would recommend a temporary halt." Dr. Pormont then gave an account of the length of the stages, the nature of the post-house accommodations, and the probable degree of danger attached to each site.
The carriage is easier than a Landgravine's, the horses more sleek, the driver as civil, the road is like a bowling green, the axletree and under-spring, of Collinge's latest patent. But the heart! the heart! that may be sad still. Delme's voyage and journey were alike a blank.
But Sir Henry was cast in a finer mould, nor did his conduct at this dangerous period detract from this his trait of boyhood. He joined his regiment when before the enemy, and, until he came of age, never drew on his guardians for a shilling. Delme's firmness of purpose, and his after prudence, met with their due reward.
"I frankly mean," said Vavasour, "that I think almost the only chance of restoring him, is by allowing him to marry Acme Frascati." Delme's brow clouded. "Think not," continued he, "that I am ignorant of what such a determination must cost you.
Twenty-four hours at Delme sufficed to inspect the alterations, and to give orders as to Lady Delme's rooms. Sir Henry had received two letters from Julia, while at Malvern, and both were written in great spirits. At his club in London another awaited him, which stated that she had not been quite so well, and that she was writing from her room. A postscript from Mrs.
It was evident that Delancey saw him not; but had it been otherwise, Delme's interest was so aroused that he could not have left the spot. "Hail! sympathising night!" thus spoke the young man, "the calm of thy silent hour seems in unison with my lone heart thy dewy breeze imparts a freshness to this languid and darkened spirit, Sweet night! how I love thee!
The landlord, an obsequious little man, with face pregnant with mischievous cunning, was watching with interest, the turns of the game; and assisting his guests, to quaff his vino ordinario, which Sir Henry afterwards found was ordinary enough. Delme's equanimity of temper was already considerably disturbed.
This agent had arrived from England, a very short period before; and, accredited with a packet, containing various communications from Emily and Clarendon, accompanied by the miniatures of their children, with little silky curls attached to each, proceeded an expectant guest, to Sir Henry Delme's temporary residence.
Screened by an angle of the building, they saw George and his companion ascend the stone steps, cross the yard, and turn into the street. They followed him cautiously Delme's ears ringing with that fiendish laugh. George's companion stopped for a moment, at a house in the street, where they were joined by a sallow-looking priest, apparently one of the most disgusting of his tribe.
There were a few at Brooks's, and Hare in the chair to keep up the appearance of a pharo bank, but nobody to punt but the Duke of Rutland and Fish Craufurd. The whole manoeuvre, added to their patriotism, their politics, &c., &c., are incredible. I am going to dine to-day at Delme's; he has promised me some plum porridge. His son is to dine here with George.
