But what's to be done?" "I suppose," said Lovel, "his faith in this fellow is entirely restored by this deception, which, unquestionably, he had arranged beforehand." "What! the siller? Ay, ay trust him for that they that hide ken best where to find. He wants to wile him out o' his last guinea, and then escape to his ain country, the land-louper.
Lady Anna had hardly heard of Frederic Lovel before her father's death; but, since that, had been brought up to regard the young Lord as her natural enemy.
"Then poor Lord Lovel will absolutely not have enough to starve upon," said the baronet's wife to the baronet, as soon as the carriage door had been shut upon them. What were they to do with her? The dinner party had taken place on a Wednesday, the day after the Earl's departure; and on the Thursday aunt Julia wrote to her nephew thus: Yoxham Rectory, 3rd September.
To Bessie Lovel, therefore, this sister of her husband's, in all the glory of her fresh young beauty and sumptuous apparel, seemed a creature of another sphere, something to be gazed upon almost in fear and trembling. "I beg your parding!" she faltered, rubbing her eyes.
Though it is worth noticing that Mary chose a name with the same initial letter as her own, it was probably taken from Dante.
