He came to Knaresdean yesterday to communicate the news, and his neckcloth was primmer than ever. C'est un bon enfant." "Ah, how can you talk thus? Do you feel no pain at the thought that that I am another's?" "Your heart will be ever mine, and that is the true fidelity. What else, too, could be done? As for Lord Doltimore, we will go shares in him.
With his usual promptitude and self-confidence, he was led at once to deliver himself of all the ill-consequences of his rashness, to get rid of Caroline as a mistress, and to retain her as a tool, by marrying her to Lord Doltimore.
Lady Doltimore, amazed at what had passed, at the flight of Maltravers, the success of Lumley, unable to account for it, to extort explanation from Vargrave or from Evelyn, was distracted by the fear of some villanous deceit which she could not fathom. To escape herself she plunged yet more eagerly into the gay vortex.
"But the inns abroad are so very bad," said Lord Doltimore; "how people can rave about Italy, I can't think. I never suffered so much in my life as I did in Calabria; and at Venice I was bit to death by mosquitoes. Nothing like Paris, I assure you: don't you think so, Mr. Maltravers?"

"I wish he would," said Lord Doltimore hastily, and glancing towards Caroline. "I should much like to buy it. What do you think would be the purchase-money?" "Don't talk so cold-bloodedly," said the admiral, letting the point of his cane fall with great emphasis on the floor. "I can't bear to see old families deserting their old places, quite wicked.
But when, at last, recovering from his sorrow, he saw Evelyn disengaged and free, and himself in a position honourably to contest her hand, he could not resist the sweet and passionate hopes that broke upon him.
