"What, indeed!" said Helen, dimly disposed towards laughter, but yet checking the inclination, because she remembered in what prodigious respect her deceased husband held Major Pendennis and his stories of the great world.
"Ella," he said, gently and sadly, "I do not wish to treat you as a little, foolish girl, but as becomes your years. I wish your conscience and reason to go with mine. You know that your happiness is the chief desire of my life. There could be no happiness for either of us in such a misalliance. The father of this hasty youth will be as bitterly opposed to it all as I am.
The count, understanding it as an allusion to a misalliance of one of his ancestors with the daughter of a blacksmith, is thrown into a dreadful passion with the young lover, the consequences of which are the seduction of the young lady, and the slaughter of her father. "Why, did not that old rude soldier learn it from thee?" said the knight, in increasing amazement.
"I do not see how you are going to help it; you know she has the grit of a dozen common women in that small body, and a will of iron," replied Mr. Mencke. "Then I'll break her will!

I, who have made such sacrifices, actually doubts whether I, Audley Egerton, an English gentleman, could have been base enough to " "What?" interrupted Levy, "to deceive your friend L'Estrange? Did not she know that?" "Sir!" exclaimed Egerton, turning white. "Don't be angry, all's fair in love as in war; and L'Estrange will live yet to thank you for saving him from such a misalliance.

"And Victoria? May I ask, does not she think it a misalliance, considering what these Vanderkists are- and the Underwoods?" "There's no one I respect more than Lancelot Underwood.
Bartlett Glow herself would have said that she was very much attached to Irene, and this would have been true; she would have said also that she pitied her, and this would have been true; but she was a woman whose world was bounded by her own social order, and she had no doubt in her own mind that she was loyal to the best prospects of her cousin, and, what was of more importance, that she was protecting her little world from a misalliance when she preferred Imogene Cypher to Irene Benson.
