He says that Lady Lovelace's funeral was too ostentatious. Escutcheons and silver coronals everywhere. Lord Lovelace's taste that, and not Lady Byron's, which is perfectly simple. You know that she was buried in the same vault with her father, whose coffin and the box containing his heart were in perfect preservation. Scott's only grandson, too, is just dead of sheer debauchery. Strange!
There was an almost fierce and sullen desperation in the answer; its firmness was not shaken, but the ordeal was terrible. A woman's reputation a thing so lightly thrown away with an idler's word, a Lovelace's smile! that was all he had to sacrifice to clear himself from the toils gathering around him. That was all! And his word of honor. Baroni bent his head with an ironic mockery of sympathy.
To these I answered, That it was a double mortification to me to owe my safety from the effects of my father's indignation to a man I could never thank for any thing. I vindicated the good Mrs. Norton with a warmth that was due to her merit. With equal warmth I resented her reflections upon me on Mr. Lovelace's account.
But as we are ever ready to make excuses when in good humour with ourselves for the perhaps not unwilful slights of those whose approbation we wish to engage; so my sister found out a reason much to Mr. Lovelace's advantage for his not improving the opportunity that was given him. But, I fancy, it is many, many years ago since he was bashful.
She came, she must own, officiously, she said, this once more, though against the opinion of my father: but knowing and dreading the consequence of my opposition, she could not but come. She then set forth to my friends' expectation from me; Mr. Lovelace's bad character; their aversions to him; all in a very strong light; not in a stronger than my mother had before placed them in.
Your father and mother will be unhappy till they see you married, and out of Lovelace's reach. I know no better way to prevent mischief on all sides, I freely own it and there is not, if he be out of the question, another man in the world I can think favourably of.
Yet, if thus they have been persuaded, no wonder if they are irreconcilable. This is all my hard-hearted brother's doings! His surmisings: God forgive him prays his injured sister! Mr. Lovelace's servant is already returned with an answer from his friend Mr. Doleman, who has taken pains in his inquiries, and is very particular. Mr.
Indeed, all may be done, and the world be taught further to admire you for your blind duty and will-less resignation, if you can persuade yourself to be Mrs. Solmes. * Letter I. I am pleased with the instances you give me of Mr. Lovelace's benevolence to his own tenants, and with his little gift to your uncle's. Mrs.
Lovelace's assurances of the continued favour of all his relations; and by the report of others; I seem still to stand high in their favour. Curiosity at present is all my motive: nor will there ever, I hope, be a stronger, notwithstanding your questionable throbs even were the merits of Mr. Lovelace much greater than they are. I have answered his letters.
Lovelace's behaviour has been such as makes me call this, so far as it is passed, an agreeable day. Yet, when easiest as to him, my situation with my friends takes place in my thoughts, and causes me many a tear. I am the more pleased with the people of the house, because of the persons of rank they are acquainted with, and who visits them. I am still well pleased with Mr. Lovelace's behaviour.
