It is like an unintellectual beauty. 'There are associations in the West Indies, said Theodora. 'Not the most agreeable, said Lord St. Erme. 'There is the thought of Columbus, said Violet, 'his whole character, and his delight as each island surpassed the last. 'Now, I have a fellow-feeling for the buccaneers, said Theodora. 'Bertram Risingham was always a hero of mine.
Erme was sufficiently better to allow her a little leisure, he made a point of introducing me. I remember our calling together one Sunday in August at a huddled house in Chelsea, and my renewed envy of Corvick's possession of a friend who had some light to mingle with his own. He could say things to her that I could never say to him.
I am fully satisfied with his principles and temper, he has extensive information, and might easily become a valuable member of society. His sister, Lady Lucy, spends much of her time with us, and appears to be an amiable pleasing girl. Lord Martindale evidently wished it to be forgotten that he had called Lord St. Erme absurd-looking.
There was dancing; but when Captain Fitzhugh brought Theodora back to her seat, Violet whispered, 'I am sorry, but would you dislike coming home now? 'Oh!

The reappearance of Percy and of Lord St. Erme seemed only to have wearied and perplexed her; and she lay awake, feeling worn, confused, and harassed, and only wishing to hide her head and be at rest.
But all the time, Lord St. Erme was treated as her acknowledged suitor. Perhaps Mr.
Erme spoke eagerly, yet as if he hardly knew what he was saying, of art, music, books, striving in vain to obtain one of the looks of yesterday. It warmed Theodora's heart to feel herself the object of such enthusiastic admiration, but she preserved her look of rigid indifference.
