As Delme marked her sympathising glance at George her beaming features her innocent simplicity; as he thought of all she had lost, all she had suffered for his brother's sake, as he thought of the scorn of the many the pity of the few the unwearied watching the sleepless nights the day of sorrow passed by the bed of sickness all so cheerfully encountered for him he could not reproach her.
The French, as I said before, have good reason to say that il n'est permis qu'aux medecins de mentir, and Delme certainly justified the deception, if there was any; but he had at last more fortitude or resolution as I hear than was expected. I hope that Lady Betty will be reconciled to her change of life; there must have been one inevitably, and, perhaps, that not less disagreeable.
The last grey tinge of twilight, was fast giving place to the sombre hues of night, as a figure, enveloped in a military cloak, issued from the barrack at Floriana. Henry at once recognised George; and only delaying till a short distance had intervened between his brother and himself, Delme and Thompson followed his footsteps. George Delme walked swiftly, as if intent on some deep design.
Sir Henry Delme, with the gaze of a lover, would note each flush of animation, and mistake it for the hue of health; while Julia herself felt her love, and thought it strength. There was only one person who looked somewhat grave at these joyous preparations. This was Dr.
In front of it, the four tallest men supported a chair, and almost before George Delme was aware of their purpose, bore him to it, and lifted him on their shoulders, amidst the huzzas of their comrades. The band, too, which had voluntarily attended, now struck up the march which George delighted to hear; and, followed by his company, he was carried triumphantly towards the mole.
These circumstances seemed to point him out, as the proper person to attend to the wants of the unfortunate traveller; and Carl Obers mentally determined, that he would not leave Delme, as long as he had it in his power to befriend him, Sir Henry Delme was completely unmanned by his bereavement.
On his reaching the township, near the head of the navigation, this agent found horses waiting for him: he was addressed by a well-appointed groom our old friend Thompson who touched his hat respectfully, and mentioned the name, he was already prepared for by his Sydney advices. Suffice it, that Sir Henry was no longer the Baronet, and that the name of Delme was a strange one in his household.
In vain did Acme watch over him in vain did her tears bedew his couch in vain did Delme take his hand, and endeavour to draw his attention to passing objects. George had never been so long without a lucid interval. The surgeon's voice grew less cheering every day, as he saw the little amendment in his patient, and remarked that the pulse was gradually sinking.
Delme would quickly arouse himself; and, warned by the lateness of the hour, and feeling the necessity that existed, for his thinking for the all-engrossed pair, would order the rowers to direct the boat's course homewards. Returned to their hotel, it may be that orisons more heavenward, have issued from hearts more pure.
Acme and myself were soon more than friends, and I found my visits gave and imparted pleasure. "I now arrive at the unhappy part of my narrative. How do I wish it were effaced from my memory. You may remember how, in all my letters to Delme, I made mention of my dear friend Delancey. We were indeed dear friends.
