Them 'ere lawyers they can make black look like white and so I agreed to it at last." Hazlehurst strongly suspected that less persuasion had been necessary than the man wished him to believe. "Did they tell you all their plan?"
Perhaps, I should have wished to go, if I had thought it as pleasant as you seem to do, Miss Taylor." "And pray, if I may ask, what made it so very pleasant?" asked Harry Hazlehurst. "I should like to be initiated into the delights of a young ladies' boarding-school. Of course, they must be very different from the rude enjoyments of collegians."
"Should the case present an appearance of truth, sufficient to satisfy a jury, though we ourselves were not convinced, it would still prove a very serious thing to you, my dear Harry," observed Mrs. Stanley. "No doubt: very serious to Hazlehurst, and a loss to all three. But I cannot conceive it possible that such a daring imposture can succeed so far.
Harry had not been a day in Philadelphia, before he announced to his brother, his engagement with Elinor; for he was much too frank by nature to have any taste for unnecessary mystery. "I have a piece of news for you, Robert," he said, as he entered the drawing-room before dinner, and found his brother lying on a sofa. "Good news, I hope," replied Mr. Robert Hazlehurst.
"She has fainted!" he cried, and carried her to the sofa. But joy is life to the heart and spirits; Elinor lost her consciousness for a moment only. She raised her eyes and fixed them upon Hazlehurst, who still held one of her hands. "It is Harry!" she exclaimed, and burst into tears.
It afterwards appeared, however, on farther inquiry, that this very point turned out entirely in favour of the sailor, actually proving that nine years previously he had sailed in one of the Havre packets, under the name of William Stanley. Mrs. "Ladies, have you no sympathizing message for Hazlehurst?" inquired Mr. Ellsworth, as he folded a letter he had been writing.
Graham was, however, relieved by finding that there was no understanding between Harry and her daughter thus far at least all was right; no explanation had taken place between them, and Jane even assured her mother that when in Paris, she had had no idea that Hazlehurst was attached to her.
"You remember the drunken sailor, sir, who was found one night, several years since, near the house," interrupted Harry, who had been listening attentively, and observed Mr. Wyllys's air of incredulity. "I had him locked up in the smoke-house, you may recollect." "And you must observe, Mr. Hazlehurst, that is a fact which might look ugly before a jury that did not know you," remarked Mr.
After loitering about the garden for half an hour, she returned to the house. She was surprised to see the coachman, at that early hour, driving up the avenue in the little wagon used for errands about the country. "Where have you been, Williams?" she asked, as he drove past her towards the stable. "To carry Mr. Hazlehurst over to Upper Lewiston, in time for the six o'clock boat, Miss."
Some gathering clouds at length warned the party to turn inn-ward again. "It is to be hoped the shower won't reach us, for your sake, ladies," said Robert Hazlehurst. "I hope not, for the sake of my bibi!" said Mrs. Creighton. "It is the prettiest little hat I have had these three years; it would be distressing to have it spoilt before it has lost its freshness."
