Hilson and her sister rise high above the rest of us in that respect they are, decidedly, 'our Corinthian capital." "You will find the Van Hornes, the Bernards, and several other families, very pleasant neighbours, on farther acquaintance," said Miss Agnes. "You have really been unfortunate in this specimen." "And where did these ladies contrive to pick up so much absurdity?"
Hilson, or the downright indifference of Adeline: as for Jane, she unfortunately never danced in time. At the proper moment supper was announced the boned turkey appeared in full glory. "What is that?" "Boned turkey" "Shall I give you boned turkey?" "I'll thank you for a little boned turkey" were sounds heard in every direction.
"If you could only find the right vein, I would insist upon your taking away all but my patrician blood." "Would not the operation leave you too perfect, Mrs. Hilson?" "Perhaps it might make me vain. But it could scarcely unfit me more for living in a republic. How I wish we were governed by a despot! don't you?"
Bagman, and receiving the polite attentions of a French nobleman, had it not been for the countrified notions of Pa and Mr. Hilson; and now, I am torn from my friends, I am calumniated, and the Baron accused of being an impostor! But the fact is, as Mrs. Bagman says, Mr. Hilson never has understood me!" Patsey closed her eyes that night with a heavy heart.
They were both young; quite pretty; very fashionably dressed; very silly in their expressions, and much alike, in every respect. After a few preliminary speeches, Mrs. Hilson remarked, that she was very glad Mrs. Wyllys had come to join their rustic circle. "Thank you," replied the lady; "Longbridge is a favourite place of mine; but I have not yet seen many traces of rusticity, here."
Oh, Miss Wyllys, what a dreadful thing it is, to see young people going on, from one bad way to another!" exclaimed Miss Patsey. "We must hope that her eyes will be opened, now." "If she had only taken warning from what Charles told her about this Mr. de Montbrun; he had seen him at Rome, and though he had no positive proofs, knew he was a bad man, and told Mrs. Hilson so.
"C'est tout naturel; cela va sans dire; it is only our devoir, Madame, to exprimer to the ladies some of the many agreeable things they inspire." "Worse and worse," said Mrs. Hilson, laughing. "How different you are from Captain Kockney; he never said a civil thing to me, all the time he was in New York." "Le capitaine Coquenais was an Anglais, who cannot feel the true politesse Francaise."
The ladies were driven to the door of the Bellevue Hotel, where the Grahams had rooms. They found several visiters with Mrs. Graham, among whom, the most conspicuous, and the least agreeable, were Mrs. Hilson and her sister, both redolent of Broadway, elegant and fashionable in the extreme; looking, it is true, very pretty, but talking, as usual, very absurdly. Mrs.
Bibbs, a pretty little woman with black hair, wearing a fashionable green muslin, assented, of course. "I think that will do, Emmeline," said Mrs. Hilson; "a large supply of each, you know. By-the-bye we must have four dishes of boned turkey; nothing so mean as to have a small quantity."
If there be such a story, let me beg you will not mention it again, Miss Taylor!" "Oh, there is no mistake, I'm quite sure. I have heard it three times already this morning, from Longbridge people; first Mrs. Hilson told me, and then I met John Bibbs, and Edward Tibbs, who said the same thing. Mrs.
