In conclusion, the sky clouded over, it became chilly, and a shower began to fall. Laura pursued Eveleen, and Amy hunted up Charlotte from the utmost parts of the field, where she was the very centre of 'winding up the clock, and sorely against her will, dragged her off the wet grass. About sixty yards from the house, Guy met them with an umbrella, which, without speaking, he gave to Charlotte.
Eveleen was enchanted, danced round and round the room, declared they would be the most charming couple in the world; she had seen it all along; she was so delighted they had come to an understanding at last, poor things, they were so miserable all last week; and she must take credit to herself for having done it all. Was not her aunt very much obliged to her? 'My dear Eva, exclaimed Mrs.
Eveleen and the old mother had searched for me upon the heath, and having haled me head and foot to their tent, despatched a message to bring Kiomi down from London to aid them in their desperate shift. They knew Squire Beltham's temper. He would have scattered the tribe to the shores of the kingdom at a rumour of foul play to his grandson.
Don't you think that is an explanation, Captain Morville? It was Captain Morvilles belief, but he would not say so. 'Isn't Laura looking lovely? Eveleen went on. 'I am sure she is the beauty of the night! She was pleased to see Captain Morville's attention gained. 'She is even better dressed than at our ball those Venetian pins suit the form of her head so well.
'If you want to make me repent, you should give me a very alluring description. 'I shan't say one word about it; I shall send you to Coventry, as Maurice and all the regiment mean to do, said Eveleen, turning away from him with a very droll arch manner of offended dignity. 'Hear, hear! Eveleen send any one to Coventry! cried Charles. 'See what the regiment say to you.
Kiomi's arms tightened over my breast. The involuntary pressure was like an illumination to me. No longer asking for the grounds of the attack on a mistaken person, and bowing to the fiction that none of the tribe had been among my assailants, I obtained information. The girl Eveleen had spied me entering Durstan.
'I'm sure it will give offence. I wish I had not consented. 'He can't be made to see that his presence is of importance to any living creature, said Laura. 'What is the reason of this whim? said Eveleen. 'No, Eveleen, it is not whim, said Laura; 'it is because he thinks dissipation makes him idle. 'Then if he is idle I wonder what the rest of the world is! said Eveleen.
No, she added more gravely, 'I am very glad it is only that kind of desperation. One could not think of Maurice and Laura together. He does not know the best part of Laura. Eveleen was highly flattered by Captain Morville conducting her a second time round the room, instead of at once restoring her to her aunt.
It was not want of bloom, for of that Laura had more than any of the others, fresh, healthy, and bright, while Amy was always rather pale, and Lady Eveleen was positively wan and faded by London and late hours; nor was it loss of animation, for Laura talked and laughed with interest and eagerness; nor was it thought, for little Amy, when at rest, wore a meditative, pensive countenance; but there was something either added or taken away, which made it appear that the serenity and carelessness of early youth had fled from her, and the air of the cares of life had come over her.
For Charlotte could not talk about Eveleen, she had been so uncomfortable at the part she had had to act, that all the commendation she received was only like pain and shame, and her mother was by no means dissatisfied that it should be so, since a degree of forwardness had been her chief cause of anxiety in Charlotte; and it now appeared that without losing her high spirit and uncompromising sense of right, her sixteenth year was bringing with it feminine reserve.
