RICCABOCCA. "Now, in pecuniary matters, as you may conjecture from my mode of life, I have nothing to offer to Miss Hazeldean correspondent with her own fortune, whatever that may be!" MRS. DALE. "That difficulty is obviated by settling Miss Hazeldean's fortune on herself, which is customary in such cases." Dr. Riccabocca's face lengthened. "And my child, then?" said he, feelingly.
The abode that looked so cheerless, and which had so evidently hung long on hand, was the property of Squire Hazeldean. He left an only daughter and sole heiress, who married Squire Hazeldean's father; and since that time, the house, abandoned by its proprietors for the larger residence of the Hazeldeans, had been uninhabited and neglected.
MRS. HAZELDEAN. "No; that's an old whim of Hazeldean's. But I doubt if the Sticktorights would ever merge their property in ours. Bless you! it would be all off the moment they came to settlements, and had to give up the right of way. We thought of a very different match; but there's no dictating to young hearts, Mr. Leslie." RANDAL. "Indeed no, Mrs. Hazeldean.
Hazeldean's mind, and assured him that he had been only talking at random; that Frank was in the habit, indeed, of seeing foreign ladies occasionally, as all persons in the London world were; but that he was sure Frank would never marry without the full consent and approval of his parents.

Audley Egerton, M. P., Dr. and Cr." title-deeds strewed around him, and Frank Hazeldean's post-obit peeping out fresh from the elder parchments. At that same hour, Audley Egerton had just concluded a letter from the chairman of his committee in the city he represented, which letter informed him that he had not a chance of being re-elected.
Mr. Stirn had not yet recovered his wonted intelligence, which, to do him justice, was usually prompt enough, when the squire, followed hard by the parson, arrived at the spot. Indeed, Mrs. Hazeldean's report of the squire's urgent message, disturbed manner, and most unparalleled invitation to the parishioners, had given wings to Parson Dale's ordinarily slow and sedate movements.
Hazeldean was best enabled to afford the accommodation my sister deigned to accept." "Mode! the post-obit!" ejaculated the squire, relinquishing his hold of Randal to lay his gripe upon Levy. The baron shrugged his shoulders. "Any friend of Mr. Frank Hazeldean's would have recommended the same, as the most economical mode of raising money."
Hazeldean's earlier invitations to dinner; and when the squire found that the Italian rarely declined to dine at the Parsonage, he was offended in one of his weak points, namely, his pride in the hospitality of Hazeldean Hall, and he ceased altogether invitations so churlishly rejected.

"If," said Levy, in the tone of a mere man of business "if the count pay the debts, and the lady's fortune be only charged with your own, after all, it will not be a bad marriage in the world's eye, nor ought it to be in a father's. Trust me, we shall get Mr. Hazeldean's consent, and cheerfully too."
