Just at this moment Erminia came running through the white morning mist all glowing with haste. "Maggie," said she, "I'm come to take care of your mother. My uncle says she and Nancy must come to us for a long, long visit. Or if she would rather go home, I'll go with her till she feels able to come to us, and do anything I can think of for her.
But 'tis that Shape, and not thy Nature frights me, That calls the blood out of my panting Heart, That Traytor Heart that did conspire thy death. Er. Sit down and hear me To disobey, thy punishment shall be; To live in endless torments, but ne'er die. Alcip. Er. Alcippus, tell me what you see, What is't that I appear to be? Alcip. My blest Erminia deify'd. Er.
'Tis true, I am not ignorant of this, That he despises other Recompence For all his Services, but fair Erminia, I know 'tis long since he resign'd his Heart, Without so much as telling her she conquer'd; And yet she knew he lov'd; whilst she, ingrate, Repay'd his Passion only with her Scorn. Alcan. In loving him, she'd more ingrateful prove To her first Vows, to Reason, and to Love. Pis.
The deep red of the curtain behind, threw out these two little figures well. Dawson came up. She was a grave elderly person, of whom Erminia was far more afraid than she was of her aunt; but at Mrs. Buxton's desire she finished mending the frock for Maggie. "Mr. Buxton has asked some of your mamma's old friends to tea, as I am not able to go down.
These two unspeakable frights must be that man's aunts affiliated to the devil. Whatever they had been once it was impossible to imagine what use such feeble creatures could be to the devil, now, in the world of the living. Which was Lucilla and which was Erminia? They were now things without a name. A moment of suspended animation followed Byrne's words.
I have looked over this schedule of the goods and effects of Erminia Pauletti, daughter of the late noble yes, he is called the noble, or I read wrong, Giovanni Pauletti, of the Houee of Sansovino, in Genoa, and of the no less noble Lady Maud Olifaunt, of the House of Glenvarloch Well, I declare that I was pre-contracted in Spain to this noble lady, and there has passed betwixt us some certain proelibatio matrimonii; and now, what more does this grave assembly require of me?"
And then he returned to his conversation with Maggie. That had been real comfort to him. What an advantage it would be to Erminia to have such a girl for a friend and companion! "How lovely Maggie is growing! Why, I had no idea she would ever turn out pretty. Sweet-looking she always was; but now her style of beauty makes her positively distinguished. Frank! speak! is not she beautiful?"
Buxton will mind it much," said Maggie, dimpling up, as she remembered, half unconsciously, how little he had seemed to care for anything but herself. "Why, what a thing it is for you!" said Mrs. Browne, quite roused up from her languor and her head-ache. "Everybody said he was engaged to Miss Erminia. Are you quite sure you made no mistake, child? What did he say?
Browne's pride was redoubled; but she made so many preparations, and so much fuss, and gave herself so much trouble, that she was positively ill during Erminia's stay; and Maggie felt that she must henceforward deny herself the pleasure of having her friend for a guest, as her mother could not be persuaded from attempting to provide things in the same abundance and style as that to which Erminia was accustomed at home; whereas, as Nancy shrewdly observed, the young lady did not know if she was eating jelly, or porridge, or whether the plates were common delf or the best China, so long as she was with her dear Miss Maggie.
Erminia, do not mock my misery, For though you cannot love, yet pity me; That you allow my Passion no return, Is weight enough, you need not add your Scorn, In this your Cruelty is too severe. Er. Alcippus, you mistake me every where. Alcip. To whom, Erminia, do I owe this Fate? Er. To morrow all her story I'll relate.
