"Ask Laura; she has witnessed how he can be shattered," Vittoria replied bitterly. Merthyr pressed her fingers. He was met by Carlo on the stairs. "Quick!" Carlo said; "I have scarce a minute to spare. I have my adieux to make, and the tears have set in already. First, a request: you will promise to remain beside my wife; she will want more than her own strength."
For she had never kissed Merthyr, or wished for his kiss. "You do not?" said Wilfrid, after a silence. "You are generous in being candid." A pressure of intensest sorrow bowed his head. The real feeling in him stole to Emilia like a subtle flame. "Oh! what can I do for you?" she cried.
Partly to show her accurate power of guessing, and chiefly that she might reprove Laura's insulting whisper, which outraged and irritated her as much as if "Oh! your poor brother!" had been exclaimed, she made display of Merthyr's manly coldness by saying aloud, "You mean, that she is going to her marriage." Laura turned her face to Merthyr.
I have promised her she shall have her wish." Coloured by the emotion she was burning from, these words smote Georgiana with a mournful compassion for Merthyr. He had risen, and by that she knew that nothing could be said to alter his will.
Numerous other extensive iron works became established there, until Merthyr Tydvil attained the reputation of being at once the richest and the dirtiest district in all Britain. Mr. Crawshay became known in the west of England as the "Iron King," and was quoted as the highest authority in all questions relating to the trade. Mr.

Merthyr, you have called me Austrian more than once; but, upon my honour, I wanted her to get over her delusion comfortably. I thought she would have kept the oath, I confess; she looked up like a child when she was making it. You have heard the rest from Georgey. I must say the situation was rather hard on Wilfrid.
She knew that now she occasionally forced her passion for Merthyr; but what nothing could teach her was, that she did so to eject another's image. On the contrary, her confession would have been: "Voluntarily I dwell upon that other, that my love for Merthyr may avoid excess."
"Charlotte could meet a great occasion, I should think," said Merthyr; and, taking his sister by the elbow: "You speak as if you had observed very coolly. Did Emilia leave you so cold? Did she seem to speak from head, not from heart?" "No; she moved me poor child! Only, how humiliating to hear her beg for love! before us."
"Only if I could be a great deal older," Emilia hastened to add; and Lady Charlotte slightly frowned, but rubbed it out with a smile. Rising, the lady said: "I have spoken to you upon equal terms; and remember, very few women would have done what I have done. You are cared for by Merthyr Powys, and that's enough. It would do you no harm to fix your eyes upon him.
The blow, like all such unexpected incidents, had the effect of lightning on those present; the woman might have escaped, but after she had struck she sat down impassive as a cat by the hearth, with a round-eyed stare. The news that Vittoria had been assassinated traversed the city. Carlo was in Turin, Merthyr in Rome.
