Try to forget as soon as you can the unfortunate tie which has bound you for a time to one so unsuitable I believe I ought to say so unworthy of you as RALPH CORBET." Ellinor was making breakfast when this letter was given her. According to the wont of the servants of the respective households of the Parsonage and Ford Bank, the man asked if there was any answer.
He cast a silent glance over Madeline's white dress, and then at his own, which was deep mourning: the glance said volumes, and its meaning was not marred by words from any one of the three. "Yes, father," said Madeline, breaking the pause, "We are all ready. Is the carriage here?" "It is at the door, my child." "Come then, Ellinor, come!" and leaning on her arm, Madeline walked towards the door.
That excellent friend had done all which she thought Ellinor would have wished without delay. She had written to Mr. Johnson, and charged him to do everything he could to defend Dixon and to spare no expense.
And though Ellinor interrupted her from time to time with assertions, now of Walter's eternal constancy to his present idol; now, with yet more vehement declarations of the certainty of his finding new objects for his affections in new scenes; she yet admitted, by little and little, the persuasive power of Madeline to creep into her heart, and brighten away its griefs with hope, till at last, with the tears yet wet on her cheek, she fell asleep in her sister's arms.
He pushed her away; he stood up, and looked at her with the eyes dilated, half in fear, half in fierceness, of an animal at bay; he did not heed that his abrupt movement had almost thrown her prostrate on the ground. "You, Ellinor! You you " "Oh, darling father, listen!" said she, creeping to his knees, and clasping them with her hands.
The nervous, excitable temper has helped the fret and cark of ambitious life. My dear uncle, I know not yet your private life; but 'as for my father, I am sure that though he might have done more on earth, he would have been less fit for heaven, if he had married Lady Ellinor.
"Come in, dear Walter," said she; "Madeline has consented to see you nay, when I told her you were here, and desired an interview, she paused but for one instant, and then begged me to admit you." "God bless her!" said poor Walter, drawing his hand across his eyes, and following Ellinor to the door.
He said to himself: 'If I am ever to be blest with the heart which, in spite of disparity of years, I yet hope to win, let me show how entire is the trust that I place in its integrity and innocence; let the romance of first youth be closed, the farewell of pure hearts be spoken, unembittered by the idle jealousies of one mean suspicion. With that thought, which you, Lady Ellinor, will never stoop to blame, he placed his hand on that of the noble mother, drew her gently towards the door, and calmly confident of the result, left these two young natures to the unwitnessed impulse of maiden honor and manly duty."
The most beloved friend of the Lady Anne was the Lady Ellinor G , the eldest daughter of the Earl of G : and with her, Lady Anne often passed several months in the year. A large party of young ladies were assembled at G Castle; and it happened that a continual rain had confined the fair companions within doors the whole summer afternoon.
"I know what you would say; spare me, I know it all." "No! it is a thing impossible; and if Lady Ellinor could consent, there would be such a life-long regret on her part, such a weight of obligation on yours, that No, I repeat, it is impossible! But let us both think of this poor girl.
