"O dear, ma'am," answered the other, "who is this wicked man? for to be sure he is very bad, or your la'ship would not despise him." "His name is poison to my tongue," replied Sophia: "thou wilt know it too soon." Indeed, to confess the truth, she knew it already, and therefore was not very inquisitive as to that point.
'Well, my lady, your la'ship knows best, replied Mistress Pauncefort, evidently very disappointed; for she had indulged in momentary visions of noble visitors and noble valets; 'I am always content, you know, when your la'ship is; but, I must say, I think it is very odd for a lord to be so poor. I never heard of such a thing. I think they will turn out richer than you have an idea, my lady.
And I'll tell your la'ship how Mrs. Puffit and I have settled to tell the story: with your ladyship's approbation, I shall say " "Nothing, if you please," said her ladyship, with more than her usual haughtiness.
If your la'ship hath such a violent aversion, and hates the young gentleman so very bad, that you can't bear to think of going into bed to him; for to be sure there may be such antipathies in nature, and one had lieverer touch a toad than the flesh of some people."
I am sure your la'ship hath done him too much honour ever to think on him; a young lady who may take her choice of all the young men in the country.
'And let me reflect. Now, before I unroll them, Lady Clonbrony, I must beg you'll not mention I've shown them. I give you my sacred honour, not a soul has set eye upon the Alhambra hangings, except Mrs. Dareville, who stole a peep; I refused, absolutely refused, the Duchess of Torcaster but I can't refuse your la'ship. On that Trebisond trellice paper, I confess, ladies, I do pique myself.
Your la'ship knows 'tis quite a saying, "As rich as a lord." Lady Annabel smiled, but did not reply.
"His lordship wished to know if Master Hernest was to come to your la'ship before goin' out?" "Certainly not!" and Lady Winsleigh's brows drew together in a frown. "The boy is a perfect nuisance!" Briggs bowed and vanished. Mrs. Rush-Marvelle grew more and more restless.
I'm sure I thought it would have comforted your la'ship, or I would have seen it at the devil before I would have touched it." "Honour," says Sophia, "you are a good girl, and it is vain to attempt concealing longer my weakness from you; I have thrown away my heart on a man who hath forsaken me." "And is Mr Jones," answered the maid, "such a perfidy man?"
I'm sure I can't tell you anything to better this, so good night, dear cousin, with all affectionate esteem. April, 1769. Great news, your la'ship. I am but just returned from a royal progress to visit the Baron of Strawberry Hill. Strawberry was in prodigious beauty spring flowers, cascades, grottoes, all displayed to advantage in a sunshine that equalled June.
