He was in a very great difficulty, and was not sure that a letter was not the better if the more cowardly way out of it. "If I could find the time." "Try," said she. She could say no more for Mr. Hazlewood was at her elbow and Dick was waiting to take her home.
"I don't understand you, good woman," said Hazlewood . "If you speak of Miss I mean of any of the late Ellangowan family, tell me what I can do for them." "Of the late Ellangowan family?" she answered with great vehemence; "of the late Ellangowan family! and when was there ever, or when will there ever be, a family of Ellangowan, but bearing the gallant name of the bauld Bertram?"
It would be HIMSELL, returned to work his ain vengeance! It was evident that the unexpected appearance of Hazlewood, whose person the outrage of Hatteraick left her no time to recognise, had produced a strong effect on her imagination. She often recurred to it.
This gentleman, I am sure, will see us to the carriage." "Unquestionably, madam," said Mannering; "your young friend may rely on my attention." "Farewell, then," said young Hazlewood, and whispered a word in her ear then ran down the steep hastily, as if not trusting his resolution at a slower pace.
'What could I say to this, Matilda? I only cried heartily, begged pardon, and promised to be a good girl in future. And so here am I neutralised again, for I cannot, in honour or common good-nature, tease poor Lucy by interfering with Hazlewood, although she has so little confidence in me; and neither can I, after this grave appeal, venture again upon such delicate ground with papa.
"Tut, we just said that was Miss Lucy Bertram of Ellangowan, that should ance have had a great estate in the country and that was Miss Jowlia Mannering, that was to be married to young Hazlewood See as she was hinging on his arm we just spoke about our country clashes like he was a very frank man." "Well, and what did he say in answer?"
"Meanwhile, my greatest source of comfort is the generous candour of Hazlewood, who persists in declaring, that with whatever intentions the person by whom he was wounded approached our party, he is convinced the gun went off in the struggle by accident, and that the injury he received was undesigned.
So I shall have the advantage of being the real magistrate, without the odium of responsibility. As he cherished these hopes and expectations, the carriage approached Hazlewood House through a noble avenue of old oaks, which shrouded the ancient abbey-resembling building so called.
Imagine for an instant that I were first to blazon my trust in a woman whom others suspected by becoming engaged to her and then endorsed their suspicions by breaking off the engagement! Suppose that I were to do that!" Mr. Hazlewood allowed his longings to lead him astray. For a moment he hoped. "Well?" he asked eagerly. "You wouldn't think very much of me, would you? Not you nor any man.
With a blush expressing at once pleasure, gratitude, and bashfulness, Lucy curtsied to Hazlewood, but to Dinmont she frankly extended her hand. The honest farmer, in the extravagance of his joy, carried his freedom farther than the hint warranted, for he imprinted his thanks on the lady's lips, and was instantly shocked at the rudeness of his own conduct.
