Some little revenge still!" The count touched the arm of the musing usurer, "J'ai bien joue mon role, n'est ce pas?" "Your part! Ah, but, my dear count, I do not quite understand it." "Ma foi, you are passably dull. I had just been landed in France, when a letter from L'Estrange reached me. It was couched as an invitation, which I interpreted to the duello. Such invitations I never refuse.
An affection once admitted into the heart of Harley L'Estrange seemed never to be questioned or reasoned with; it became tacitly fixed, as it were, into his own nature, and little less than a revolution of his whole system could dislodge or disturb it.
The deeper sentiment, the more earnest nature, which in Harley L'Estrange were commingled with the attributes common to a former age, these, indeed, were of his own. Our age so little comprehended, while it colours us from its atmosphere! so full of mysterious and profound emotions, which our ancestors never knew! -will those emotions be understood by our descendants?
Reclining then on one of the voluptuous sofas, Lord L'Estrange said smilingly, "You are a wise man: there is no advantage in being rich, unless one enjoys one's riches." "My own maxim, Lord L'Estrange." "And it is something, too, to have a taste for good society.
All for the best. Who's the man? Not Lord L'Estrange?" "I do not think it is he; but I have not yet ascertained. I have told you all I know. I found her in a state so excited, so unlike herself, that I had no little difficulty in soothing her into confidence so far. I could not venture more." "And she will accept Frank?" "Had he offered to-day she would have accepted him!"
Oh," cried Sir Norman, with a burst of enthusiasm, "how I should admire to have Count L'Estrange here for about ten minutes, just now! I would spoil his next wooing for him, or I am mistaken!" "No, no!" said Leoline, looking rather alarmed; "you must not fight, you know. I shouldn't at all like either of you to get killed. Besides, he has not married me; and so there's no harm done."
Though Roger Mortimer, Hamond L'Estrange, and other powerful marchers of Wales, had been obliged to leave the kingdom, their authority still remained over the territories subjected to their jurisdiction; and there were many others who were disposed to give disturbance to the new government.

HELEN. "Ah, Lord L'Estrange, you who have felt what it is to love, how can you doubt my answer; how think that I could be so base, so ungrateful as take from yourself what you call the substance of waking life, while my heart was far away, faithful to what you call a dream?" HARLEY. "But can you not dispel the dream?" "It was wrong to call it dream! It is the reality of life to me.
And with a bow of excuse for his interruption to Lord L'Estrange, the speaker was then turning away, when Harley said, "No, don't let me take you from your friend, Mr. Leslie. And you need not be in a hurry to see Egerton; for I shall claim the privilege of older friendship for the first interview." "It is Mr. Egerton's nephew Frank Hazeldan." "Pray, call him back, and present me to him.
Violante blushed, but went on firmly, and with serious earnestness: "Some words which he-that is, Lord L'Estrange said to me very lately, make me so glad that you are here, that you will see him; for I know how good you are, and how wise, dear, dear Mr. Dale! He spoke as one who had received some grievous wrong, which had abruptly soured all his views of life.
