Faults on every side had led to his dismissal; but Lord Fitzjocelyn had placed him at an ironmonger's shop in the town of Northwold, where he had been just long enough to become accessible to the various temptations of a lad in such a situation.
Her mother had cultivated her love for Ormersfield, and she was charmed by her visits to old haunts, well remembering everything. She gladly recognised the little low-browed church, the dumpy tower, and grave-yard rising so high that it seemed to intend to bury the church itself, and permitted many a view, through the lattices, of the seats, and the Fitzjocelyn hatchments and monuments.
They involve the sublime temper in the ridiculous accident, and laugh both alike to scorn. 'Not mamma and Aunt Catharine, said Mary. 'Besides, is not half the harm in the world done by not seeing where the sublime is invaded by the ridiculous? 'I see nothing ridiculous in the matter, said James. 'His father has demanded an unjustifiable sacrifice. Fitzjocelyn yields and suffers.
The Squire gave his short, dry laugh, and repeated that 'Jem Frost and young Fitzjocelyn differed from other youths, not in being right but in being wrong. On which topic Mrs. Calcott enlarged, compassionating poor Mr. Frost with a double quantity of pity for his helpless beauty of a fine lady-wife; charitably owning, however, that she really seemed improved by her troubles.
'There, Jem! she cried exultingly, as he came forth, followed by the trunks and portmanteaus. 'Madcap! he said; 'but I suppose the first day of the holidays must be privileged. Ha! Fitzjocelyn, you're the right man in the right place, whatever Clara is. So they drove off, James sitting by Mrs.

I believe it is the absence of selfishness or conceit that makes him so clear-sighted.
'My Dear Aunt, I find that Fitzjocelyn is writing to you, but I think you will wish for a fuller account of him than can be obtained from his own letters. Indeed, I should be much obliged if you would kindly exercise your influence to persuade him that he is not in a condition to be imprudent with impunity.
Respectfully dedicated to the Right Honourable Viscount Fitzjocelyn. 'A fine specimen, said the Viscount at once, with the air of a connoisseur, by no means taken by surprise. 'They are not very uncommon; I found one myself about the same date in the justice-room. I dare say Mr. Calcott recollects the circumstance.
'It would have made no difference, except in the pain it would have cost you; and the only gratification in this business is, that I suffer because neither you nor I would deny our principles. I thank you, Fitzjocelyn! and he straightened himself in the satisfaction of persecuted rectitude.
As the two copies were completed, Lord Ormersfield returned; and Mary, with many apologies, presented her copy, and received most gracious thanks and compliments on her firm, clear writing, a vexation to her rather than otherwise, since 'Fitzjocelyn' was called to account for dubious scrawls, errors, and erasures.
