The occurrences of the three years during which we have lost sight of the Longbridge circle will speak for themselves, as our tale is gradually unfolded. It is evident, however, at the first glance, on returning to the old ground, that the village itself has undergone some alterations.
Taylor, of course, was not the man to allow anything approaching to speculation, to take place in his neighbourhood without having something to do with it himself. He came over to Longbridge expressly to help matters on; and as Colonnade Manor was shut up, Mr. Wyllys, always hospitably inclined, asked him to his own house for a day or two.
Of course I ought not to have joined you at such a moment, but I was anxious to give you the Longbridge news." "Certainly; I was very glad to hear it: the conversation you interrupted was a very trifling one." "Oh, I did not wish to insinuate that you were conversing on a PARTICULARLY interesting subject.
The husband was a Longbridge lawyer, whose views and manners were not much admired at Wyllys-Roof; and he would probably never have found his way there, had he not married one of their old friends and favourites, Kate Hubbard, a younger sister of Miss Patsey's one who from childhood had always been welcome among them.
He determined, at least, to leave Longbridge, for a time, and remain in Philadelphia, until the Grahams were settled in New York. The same evening, as the family at Wyllys-Roof, and himself, were sitting together, he announced his intention. "Can I do anything for you, in Philadelphia, Elinor?" he asked; "I shall have to go to town, to-morrow, and may be detained a week or ten days."
How long do you suppose your mother will stay at Longbridge?" "We are going to New York next week. Father wishes to be in Charleston early in October." "I can't bear to think of your going so soon. If you are once in Carolina, I suppose, we shan't see you again until next June; but, mind, you are to pass all next summer with us," said Elinor.
He soon became proud of a place at her side, and much more vain of her beauty than she was herself. "I must let them know at Longbridge," he thought, "what a sensation Jane is making. She is, indeed, a beauty to be proud of. I saw nothing like her in Greece. She does credit to the country."
After the happy couple had entered the house, the merchant left his station at the paling, and returned to his own solitary dinner, laughing heartily whenever the morning scene recurred to him. We have said that Uncle Dozie had managed his love affairs thus far so slyly, that no one suspected him; that very afternoon, however, one of the most distinguished gossips of Longbridge, Mrs.
When the family is at home now, there seems often to be some strange gentleman with them." "Fortune-hunters, I suppose," said Charlie, with some indignation. "Well, the course of true love never has, and never will run quite as it ought, I suppose. And how do all the Longbridge people come on? How is Uncle Josie?" "Very well, indeed; just as good as ever to us. You must go to see him to-morrow."
Elinor, however, had seen such manoeuvres before, and she would scarcely have noticed it at the moment, had it not been for Miss Emmeline's previous apology. Mrs. Hilson soon approached her. "Has Emmeline been communicating our Longbridge intelligence, Miss Wyllys? Do you think it a good match?" "I hope it will prove so; we were very glad to hear of it.
