That the Jocelyns did not belong to the ordinary ranks of the poor, and that Mildred was not a commonplace girl, was apparent to Miss Wetheridge from the first; and it was her design to persuade her friend to abandon the overcrowded and ill-paid divisions of labor for something more in accordance with her cultivation and ability.
In the afternoon, the Jocelyns, William Harvey, and Drummond met together to consult about arranging the dispute; and deputations went to Laxley and to Evan. The former demanded an apology for certain expressions that day; and an equivalent to an admission that Mr. Harrington had said, in Fallow field, that he was not a gentleman, in order to escape the consequences.
'Evan, though I fear will be rather engaged. His friends, the Jocelyns of Beckley Court, will I fear hardly dispense with him and Lady Splenders you know her? the Marchioness of Splenders? No? by repute, at least: a most beautiful and most fascinating woman; report of him alone has induced her to say that Evan must and shall form a part of her autumnal gathering at Splenders Castle.
'How sparing you English are of your crests and arms! I fully expected to see the Jocelyns' over my bed; but no four posts totally without ornament!

We must elect Melville and have the family indebted to us. But pray be careful that Andrew speaks not a word to his odious brother about our location here.

But, oh! the singularity of the excellent fortune of such an event at such a time! It showed that our Harrington-luck had not forsaken us. I hurried to the Jocelyns instantly.
