The long silence that succeeded the question was interrupted by Colonel Howard. "Ye are masters, gentlemen; help yourselves to whatever best suits your inclinations. My dwelling, my goods, and my wards, are alike at your disposal or, perhaps Miss Alice here, good and kind Miss Alice Dunscombe, may suit the taste of some among ye! Ah! Edward Griffith! Edward Griffith! little did I ever "
"How far is it, Maam?" said Ellen. "Oh, bless me! how can I tell how far it is? I don't know, I am sure not far; say, quick would you rather walk or ride?" "I would rather walk, Maam, if you please," said Ellen. "Very well," said Mrs. Dunscombe, getting in; "Timmins, you know the way." And off went the coach with its load; but, tired as she was, Ellen did not wish herself in it.
The interest and anxiety produced by this short and imperfect communication between Miss Plowden and her lover did not fail to excite reflections in both the ladies, that furnished materials to hold them in earnest discourse, until the entrance of Alice Dunscombe announced that their presence was expected below.
"I declare it's too vexatious!" said Margaret Dunscombe "here I've got this beautiful piece of blue satin, and can't do anything with it; it just matches that blue morocco it's a perfect match I could have made a splendid thing of it, and I have got some cord and tassels that would just do I declare it's too bad!"

The long drive to the boat was only a sorrowful blank to Ellen's recollection. She did not see the frowns that passed between her companions on her account. She did not know that her white bonnet was such a matter of merriment to Margaret Dunscombe and the maid, that they could hardly contain themselves.
A slight color gleamed over the brow of Alice Dunscombe, as she uttered, in a voice that was barely audible: "There is no longer a reason why the world should know of such a weakness, though it did exist."
"But no one can witness the interview except our God." "Go, then," said Katherine, secretly rejoicing at her determination, "while we inquire into the characters of the others." Alice Dunscombe turned the key; and gently opening the door, she desired her companions to tap for her, as they returned, and then instantly disappeared in the apartment.
"That," said Colonel Howard, advancing, and taking her hand with kindness, "that is the only disloyal sentiment I have ever heard fall from the lips of Miss Alice Dunscombe! Is it to be supposed that Heaven has established orders among men, and that it does not respect the works of its own formation!
She supposed Alicia Drake was with him. For the first time a torment of fierce jealousy ran through her nature, like fire through a forest glade, burning up its sweetness. "What time is the carriage ordered for Mr. Nixon?" asked Marsham of his servant. "Her ladyship, sir, told me to tell the stables four-twenty at Dunscombe." "Let me hear directly the carriage arrives.
