'No. 5, Dynevor Terrace, Sept. 14th, 1851. 'Dear Fitzjocelyn, I ought to have written yesterday; but I took the whole duty at Ormersfield on Sunday, and was too lazy the next day to do more than keep the children out of the way, and look after Isabel; for, though I am told not to be uneasy, she does not regain strength as she has done before.
Ponsonby said she thought young men's ardour more apt to be against than for the poacher. 'I must confess, said Aunt Catherine, with all the reluctance of a high-spirited Dynevor, 'I must confess that Louis is no sportsman! He was eager about it once, till he had become a good shot; and then it lost all zest for him, and he prefers his own vagaries.
So she saw granny must not be grieved, and she let herself be dressed for a constrained dinner in the vast dining-room, where the servants outnumbered the diners, and the silver covers bore the Dynevor dragon as a handle, looking as spiteful as some of the race could do.
But Wendot had always been grave and thoughtful beyond his years, and had been taken much into the counsels of his parents, so that questions which were almost new to the younger lad had been thought much of by the eldest, the heir of the house of Dynevor. "Why, brother, thou talkest like a veritable monk for learning," he said. "I knew not thou hadst the gift of such eloquent speech.
So Mary had found herself heiress to a share in the miserably-involved affairs of Dynevor and Ponsonby; and as soon as she could think of the future at all, had formed the design of settling Rosita in a convent with a pension, and going herself to England.
A few days spent in this pure, free air seemed to infuse new life into her frame, and the colour in her cheeks and the light in her eyes deepened day by day, to the motherly satisfaction of the Lady of Dynevor and the pride of Wendot, who regarded the child as his especial charge.
I wonder whether Marianne can find the volume of Vertot. 'Isabel, Isabel! shrieked Virginia, who, with Louisa, had been roaming everywhere, 'here is a discovery in the school-room! Come! It was an old framed print of a large house, as much of a sham castle as the nature of things would permit; and beneath were the words 'Cheveleigh, the seat of Roland Dynevor, Esquire.
Brother and uncle appeared to have left her out of the consultation; but she was resolved not to let him be a burthen on those who had so little already, and she called her old friend Jane to take counsel with her, whether it would not be doing them an injury to carry him thither at all. So much of Jane's heart as was not at Cheveleigh was at Dynevor Terrace, and her answer was decided.
Dynevor was ungenerously and ungratefully treated as a butt; and she turned away in displeasure from the group whom the recital was amusing, to offer her sympathy to the tutor, and renew the morning's conversation. Go not eastward, go not westward, For a stranger whom we know not.
She takes home your cousin, Mr. Dynevor. Mary cried out with surprise. 'I thought him a complete fixture, but he is gone home for a year. It seems his family property was in the market, and he was anxious to secure it. 'How glad his mother will be! was all Mary could say, as there rushed over her the thought of the wonderful changes this would make in Dynevor Terrace.
