She treated her friend at all times, and in all companies, with that uniform attention and equality of manner, which most people profess, and which so few have strength of mind to practise. Almeria expressed, and probably at this time felt, unbounded gratitude and affection for Ellen; indeed her expressions were sometimes so vehement, that Miss Elmour rallied her for being romantic.
Sir Thomas and Lady Stock used all their influence in his favour, but in vain: they concluded that Almeria's passion for Frederick Elmour was the cause of this refusal; and they directed their arguments against the folly of marrying for love.
You know, young Elmour has his fortune to make very clever certainly he is, and will rise no doubt I'm told in his profession but all that is not the same as a ready-made fortune, which an heiress like you has a right to expect. But do not let me annoy you with my reflections. Perhaps there is nothing in the report I really only repeat what I hear every body say.
"With my poor father," said Ellen; "he has been very ill lately, and we came here on his account." "Ill! Old Mr. Elmour! I'm extremely concerned but whom have you to attend him? you should send to town for Dr. Grant do you know he is the only man now? the only man Lady Bradstone and I have any dependence on if I were dying, he is the man I should send for. Do have him for Mr.
Frederick Elmour who gained her large fortune for her. I was in the court-house in York the very day the cause was decided, and I never heard a man speak with more energy and eloquence than Frederick Elmour did in her defence.
Wynne, with the Duchess of A ? She was always a prodigious friend of the Elmours, as I remember. How is that? Are they any way related, I wonder?" "Yes; they are now related by marriage," said Mr. Wynne; "Mrs. Elmour is a niece of the duchess." "Indeed!" "She is a charming woman," said Mr. Wynne; "so beautiful and yet so unaffected so sensible, yet so unassuming." "Pray," interrupted Mrs.
To do our heroine justice, she here interrupted Lady Stock with more eagerness than strict politeness admitted, and positively declared that her friends never for one moment wished to confine her at Elmour Grove. "On the contrary," said she, "they urged me to go into company, and to see something of the world, before I " marry, she was going to say but paused.
If, on the contrary, you have decided to pursue a mode of life, or to form connexions which make you ashamed to own any one for a friend who is not a fine lady, let our intimacy be dissolved for ever it could only be a source of mutual pain. My father is better to-day, and wishes to see you. Will you spend this evening with him and with Your affectionate ELLEN ELMOUR?"
Elmour looked up from his writing with an air of grave attention when she began to speak, but after waiting in vain for an intelligible sentence, he proceeded.
Stock had not overheard Lady Bradstone's conversation at the Opera, and as he had a comfortably good opinion of himself, he was sure that he was making a rapid progress in the lady's favour. He had of late seldom heard her mention any of her friends at Elmour Grove; and he was convinced that her romantic attachment to Frederick must have been conquered by his own superior address.
