Still to Edith. 'Oh, several times. I think we have been everywhere. 'A beautiful country! 'I suppose it is. Everybody says so. 'Your cousin Feenix raves about it, Edith, interposed her mother from her couch.

The Major falls into convulsions, and is recovered with difficulty.

'The Honourable Mrs Skewton, Sir, is sister to the late Lord Feenix, and aunt to the present Lord.

This postponement of the point, put Florence in a flutter; and she looked from Cousin Feenix to Walter, in increasing agitation. 'My love, said Walter, 'there is nothing the matter. 'There is nothing the matter, upon my honour, said Cousin Feenix; 'and I am deeply distressed at being the means of causing you a moment's uneasiness. I beg to assure you that there is nothing the matter.
'My lovely and accomplished relative, resumed Cousin Feenix, still ambling about at the door, 'will excuse me, if, for her satisfaction, and my own, and that of my friend Dombey, whose lovely and accomplished daughter we so much admire, I complete the thread of my observations. She will remember that, from the first, she and I never alluded to the subject of her elopement.
