"Add to that he is more deeply in love than any man ever was yet," said Miss Lyster, laughingly. "Marion, he worships you his love is something that frightens me." Miss Arleigh avowed that it was true. "He will go home," continued Adelaide, "and instead of going to sleep like a sensible man, he will walk about all night, composing grand poems about you."
Through the mind of William Ashe, as he stood looking down upon her, passed a multitude of flying impressions. He knew perfectly well that Mary Lyster was one of the maidens whom it would be possible for him to marry. His mother had never pressed her upon him, but she would certainly acquiesce. It would have been mere mock modesty on his part not to guess that Mary would probably not refuse him.
Isabel hesitated, and lifted an ear to the floor above. There was not a sound, nor was it likely that Lyster would make his appearance before dinner. Paula had announced her intention of visiting her children in the course of the afternoon; she would hardly awaken for luncheon. While she hesitated Mrs. Hofer began to coax in her eager commanding fashion. "Oh, do come! Please come!
"The whole of this unfortunate business," said Dr Lyster, "has been the result of PRIDE and PREJUDICE. Your uncle, the Dean, began it, by his arbitrary will, as if an ordinance of his own could arrest the course of nature! and as if he had power to keep alive, by the loan of a name, a family in the male branch already extinct.
So she wrote a letter full of commonplaces, and when Allan Lyster read it he bit his lips in fierce, hot anger. "She is learning not to care for me already," he said. "She has never written so coldly to me before." Adelaide bade him to be of good cheer. "I shall go to the castle at Christmas," she said, "and, rely upon it, Allan, I will find an opportunity of sending for you.
Yet in thy tomb will be deposited all that to me could render existence supportable, every frail chance of happiness, every sustaining hope, and all alleviation of sorrow!" Dr Lyster now again approaching, thought he perceived some change in his patient, and peremptorily forced him away from her: then returning himself, he found that her eyes were shut, and she was dropt asleep.
The Parhams are there male and female aren't they? and we've got to put up with them. Well, I'm going to the Piazza. Any commissions? Oh, by-the-way" he looked back at a letter in his hands "mother says Polly Lyster will probably be here before we go she seems to be touring around with her father." "Charming prospect!" said Kitty. "Does mother expect me to chaperon her?" Ashe laughed and went.
A box of Foreign Office papers lay on his table. He went through them with a keen sense of pleasure, enjoying his new work and his own competence to do it, of which, notwithstanding his remarks to Mary Lyster, he was not really at all in doubt.
When she wished to ride or walk there was always some little contention as to who should accompany her. It was very pleasant. Before she had been at Thorpe Castle long Marion Arleigh was queen of the new world. In the midst of all her happiness the first letter from Allan Lyster came like a thunderbolt. She was naturally so frank, so candid, that the keeping of a secret was most difficult to her.
For Mrs Delvile appeared every hour more sensible of her attention, and more desirous of her presence, and though neither of them spoke, each was endeared to the other by the tender offices of friendship which were paid and received. When this week was expired, Dr Lyster was prevailed upon to return again to Bury, in order to travel himself with Mrs Delvile to Bristol.
