Miss Salome had become more plump, her cheek was smoother and paler, her eye more placid, her air that of a patient invalid, and her countenance more intellectual than her sister's. She said less about their extreme enjoyment of the yam, and while Mrs. Frost and Mary held counsel with Miss Mercy on servants and furniture, there was a talk on entomology going on between her and Fitzjocelyn.
'Nay, I can't consent to your deluding Lady Conway into Mrs. Walby. 'If there be any one you wish me to ask, my dear Fitzjocelyn began Lady Conway. 'Oh no, thank you; Jem is quite right. I might have been playing on your unguarded innocence; but I am the worst person in the world to consult; for all the county and all the town are so kind to me, that I don't know whom I could leave out.
She greatly enjoyed the universally-implied conviction with regard to the handsome young pair. Nor did they struggle against it; neither of them made any secret of their admiration for the conduct of the other, and the scrupulous appellations of Miss Conway and Lord Fitzjocelyn were discarded for more cousinly titles.
'In short, Isabel, my dear, what can you have done to set people saying that you have been corresponding with the young men at Ebbscreek? 'I sent a note to my cousin Fitzjocelyn last night, said Isabel, with such calmness, that the old gentleman fairly stood with his mouth open, looking at her aghast. 'Fitzjocelyn! Then it is Fitzjocelyn, is it? he exclaimed.
Presently, Delaford came down with a message from Lord Fitzjocelyn that it was of no use to wait for him, for as the butler expressed it, 'the haemorrhage was pertinacious, and he begged that the ladies would depart without regard to him.
'What a change! what a testimony! triumphantly thought James. It might be partial, but he was not the man to believe so. That day was one of defeat; but on the following, a note from James advised Fitzjocelyn to come and try his fortune again; Mr. Dynevor would give no one any rest till he had seen him.
Fitzjocelyn politely apologized to Ellen for a second time stepping over her soapy deluge, and, as he opened the study door with a preliminary knock, a voice, as sharp and petulant as it was low, called out, 'Hollo! Be quiet there, can't you! You've no business here yet, and I have no time to waste on your idleness.
'In fact, said Delaford, 'it was a serious crisis, and there was no time to be lost; an English gentleman, Captain Lonsdale, who had already offered his services, would take care of his lordship, and my Lady had better secure herself and the young ladies. 'Leave Fitzjocelyn! cried Virginia. 'Is it very dangerous, Delaford? asked Lady Conway.
The Captain was so much impressed that, as he said, he could not get over it, and stayed for some time talking over the scene with the young ladies, before starting up, as if wondering at his own emotion, he declared that he must go and see what they would do next. Presently afterwards, Fitzjocelyn came down stairs.
Can't think what that young Fitzjocelyn was after it ain't the old affair. Ponsonby writes me that things are to be settled as soon as Ward comes back. 'Indeed! 'Aye, good sort of fellow no harm to have him in our concerns I hope he'll look into the accounts, and find what Robson is at. After all, I shall soon be out there myself, and make Master Robson look about him.
