Not so with her companion, whose name was Delvin, a young and good-looking fellow; and had we not been present, he would have laughed at the demands of Herrets, for he was as bold as a lion, and was just the kind of a man that a romantic girl like Mary would take a fancy to.
Delvin interposed, "the sort of person who requires careful handling by a man like my brother a man of the world." "The sort of person, as I venture to think," Emily persisted, "whom I ought to see with as little loss of time as possible." Mrs. Delvin waited a while before she replied. In her condition of health, anxiety was not easy to bear. Mrs.
"We shall have to relieve you of your fair charge," Fred said, addressing Mr. Delvin; "civilization has hardly arrived at such a point in Australia that a man can run off with another's wife, and expect to escape punishment."
And they had waited together at a railway station but for what purpose he could not tell. He sighed and wondered when Emily would marry him and so fell asleep again, weaker than ever. Not having any confidence in the doctor at Belford, Mrs. Delvin had sent an urgent message to a physician at Edinburgh, famous for his skill in treating diseases of the nervous system.
Lord Delvin and several of their number accordingly appeared at the Castle, and delivered their address, which they begged might be forwarded to the foot of the throne. No notice whatever was taken of this document, either at Dublin or London, nor were the class who signed it permitted by law to "testify their allegiance" to the sovereign, for fifty years later down to 1778.

Delvin remained silent, but he looked as though he would like to try the issue of the affair with an exchange of shots.
"You have left out the worst part of it," Mrs. Delvin reminded him. "You have bound yourself to help her to find the man. Your one hope of persuading her to become your wife rests on your success in finding him. And you are the man. There is your situation! You can't submit to it. How can you escape from it?" "You are trying to frighten me, Agatha."
"Is she going back to Monksmoor?" "Not she! Mr. Mirabel has got a sister, a widow lady; she's a cripple, or something of the sort. Her name is Mrs. Delvin. She lives far away in the north country, by the sea; and Miss Emily is going to stay with her." "Are you sure of that?" "Sure? I've seen the letter." "Do you mean the letter of invitation?" "Yes I do. Miss Emily herself showed it to me.
