Not there the look which, in the matured man gazing on the bright ghost of his former self, might have daunted the timid and warned the wise. "And I was like this! True! I remember well when it was taken, and no one called it flattering," said Mr. Losely, with pathetic self-condolence. "But I can't be very much changed," he added, with a half laugh. "At my age one may have a manlier look, yet "
Jasper Losely was not by temperament vindictive; he was irascible, as the vain are combative, aggressive, turbulent, by the impulse of animal spirits; but the premeditation of vengeance was foreign to a levity and egotism which abjured the self-sacrifice that is equally necessary to hatred as to love. But Guy Darrell had forced into his moral system a passion not native to it.
After you, sir." As they descended the stairs, the old woman-servant stood at the street door. Rugge went out first; the woman detained Losely. "Do you find her altered?" "Whom? Mrs. Crane? why, years will tell. But you seem to have known me; I don't remember you." "Not Bridget Greggs?" "Is it possible? I left you a middle-aged, rosy-faced woman. True, I recognize you now. There's a crown for you.
Losely "to behave like a gentleman." With regard to Sophy herself, Mrs. Crane appeared to feel a profound indifference. In fact, the hatred which Mrs. Crane had unquestionably conceived for Sophy while under her charge was much diminished by Losely's unnatural conduct towards the child.
Armed with these quotations, many a sentence from the "Polite Letter- Writer" or the "Elegant Extracts," and a quire of rose-edged paper, Losely sat down to Ovidian composition. But as he approached the close of epistle the first, it occurred to him that a signature and address were necessary. The address was not difficult. James's, a fashionable locality for single men.
Jasper could not have selected a more unpropitious moment for his cause. Darrell was still too much under the influence of recent excitement and immense sorrow for that supremacy of prudence over passion which could alone have made him a willing listener to overtures from Jasper Losely.
LOSELY." I I you always startle me so! you are in town, then? to stay? your old quarters?" MRS. CRANE. "Why ask? You cannot wish to know where I am you would not call.

Elated with the success which had rewarded his talents for pecuniary speculation, and dismissing from his mind all thoughts of the fugitive Sophy and the spoliated Rugge, Jasper Losely returned to London in company with his new friend, Mr. Poole.
When Losely came down-stairs, the common room of the inn was occupied by a meeting of the trustees of the highroads; and, on demanding breakfast, he was shown into a small sanded parlour adjoining the kitchen. Two other occupants a man and a woman were there already, seated at a table by the fireside, over a pint of half-and-half.
But if, on the other hand, she should, on the requisite inquiries, be proved to descend from your ancestry your father's blood in her pure veins I know, alas! then that I should have no right to aspire to such nuptials. Who would even think of her descent from a William Losely? Who would not be too proud to remember only her descent from you?
