Occupying the center of the spacious flower-decked living-room he beamed benevolently on the company of young folks who had tarried at the Harlowes' to learn that very thing. Gathered there were six of the Eight Originals, Miriam, Everett Southard and Miss Southard, the Savellis and Miss Nevin, Mrs. Gray, Mrs.
But nothing bad against you; intimations, on the contrary, that you shall be the better for him, if you oblige him. Not a living soul but the Harlowes, I said, thought me ill-tempered: and I was contented that they should, who could do as they had done by the most universally acknowledged sweetness in the world.
I had taught him to make the Harlowes believe, that I was as communicative to my servants, as their stupid James was to Joseph:* Joseph, as they supposed, by tampering with Will, got all my secrets, and was acquainted with all my motions: and having also undertaken to watch all those of his young lady, * the wise family were secure; and so was my beloved; and so was I. * Ibid.
But nevertheless I must needs own, that I am not very sorry for this prohibition, let it originally come from the Harlowes, or from whom it will; because I make no doubt, that it is owing to Miss Howe, in a great measure, that my beloved is so much upon her guard, and thinks so hardly of me.
Be so good as to open your heart to me. I don't love the Harlowes but pray excuse me. D. I will be all patience and attention. May I be allowed to read his letter? M. I wanted to advise with you upon it. But you are such a strange creature! you are always for answering one before one speaks! D. You'll be so good as to forgive me, Madam. M. And so I have. But then it was in the mind I was in.
And must I be brought to implore forgiveness and reconciliation from the Harlowes? Beg to be acknowledged as the son of a gloomy tyrant, whose only boast is his riches?
This man has by his proposals captivated every soul of the Harlowes Soul! did I say There is not a soul among them but my charmer's: and she, withstanding them all, is actually confined, and otherwise maltreated by a father the most gloomy and positive; at the instigation of a brother the most arrogant and selfish.
I told him, that this was very hard upon him; and the more so, as neither his life nor morals perhaps would stand a fair inquiry. He smiled, and called himself my servant. The occasion was too fair, he said, for Miss Howe, who never spared him, to let it pass. But, Lord help the shallow souls of the Harlowes! Would I believe it! they were for turning plotters upon him.
Thou that vainly imaginest that the whole family of the Harlowes, and that of the Howes too, are but thy machines, unknown to themselves, to bring about thy purposes, and thy revenge, what art thou more, or better, than the instrument even of her implacable brother, and envious sister, to perpetuate the disgrace of the most excellent of sisters, to which they are moved by vilely low and sordid motives?
To be sure a person need not be so wary, so cautious of what she writes, or what she leaves upon her table, or toilette, when her attendant cannot read. It would be a miracle, as thou sayest, if this lady can save herself And having gone so far, how can I recede? Then my revenge upon the Harlowes!
