"Spare me, if you please, Thomas, the advocacy of such principles. You occasion me great pain not so much on my own account as on yours you alarm me." "Don't be alarmed, I tell you; but listen to me, as I said. Here, now, is this marriage: you don't love this Dunroe you dislike, you detest him. Very well. What the deuce has that to do with the prospects of your own elevation in life?
"Nothing whatever," replied Dunroe; "unless that he is well connected he told me so himself too well, indeed, he hinted, to render the situation of a dependent one which he should wish his relatives to become acquainted with Of course, I respected his delicacy, and did not, consequently, press him further upon the point."
Very good very good indeed! but the truth his, I've given Dunroe hup." "Well, sir, and how is that my affair? What interest can I feel in your quarrels? Personally I know very little of Lord Dunroe, and of you, sir, nothing." "Haw! but everything 'as a beginning, Mr. Birney." "At this rate of going, I fear we shall be a long time ending, Mr. Norton."
"Well, really, my lord," replied Dunroe, "as it appears that the lecture is all you have to bestow upon me, I am quite willing that you should disinherit me of that also. I waive every claim to it. But so do I not to my just rights. We shall see what a court of law can do." "You may try it, and entail disgrace upon yourself and your sister. As for my child, it will break her heart.
Well yes here it is, Corbet is it not possible that the appearance of this young man at this particular crisis stepping in, as he does, between Dunroe and the very property his heart is set upon might knock the thing to pieces? and there is all that I have had my heart set upon for years that grand project of ambition for my daughter gone to the winds, and she must put up with some rascally commoner, after all."
In consequence of these representations, Lady Emily not only consented to act as bride's-maid; but also to keep her knowledge of the forthcoming marriage a secret from her father. At breakfast that morning Dunroe was uncommonly cheerful.
The thing is neither here nor there, of course, nor would I ever allude to it unless as a proof of my regard and affection for him." "That only enhances your kindness, Mr. Norton." "Why, my lord, I met Dunroe in Paris no matter, I took him out of some difficulties, and prevented him from getting into more.
"You grow pale, Miss Gourlay; and there seems to be something in this allusion to Lord Dunroe that is painful to you. How is this, madam? I do not understand it." "I am, indeed, pale, and I feel that I am; for what is there that could drive the hue of modesty from the cheek of a daughter, sooner than the fact of her own father purposing to unite her to a profligate?
He bethought him of Lucy's delicacy, of her sense of honor, her uniform propriety of conduct, her singular self-respect, and after all, of the complacent spirit of obedience with which, in everything but her contemplated union with Lord Dunroe, she had, during her whole life, and under the most trying circumstances, accommodated herself to his wishes.
But, Lucy, there is a subject in which I trust we both feel a dearer and a deeper interest than that of family feud. I am aware of this hateful union which your father wishes to bring about between you and this Lord Dunroe. I have been long aware of it, as you know; but need I say that I place every reliance, all honorable confidence, in your truth and attachment?"
