I soon learnt that the brother of my idol was a savage, fox-hunting squire, who had designed the lovely Narcissa for Sir Timothy Thicket, a neighbouring foxhunter. I cursed in my heart this man for his presumption, looking upon him as my rival. Eight months I remained in the station of footman, and then an accident put an end to my servitude.
Having renewed our protestations of friendship, I bade the honest Welshman and his spouse farewell, and, taking post-horses, arrived at London that same night, where I found my father in good health, to whom I imparted what I had learned of Narcissa.
I received this inestimable gift of Providence as became me; and in a little time the clergyman did his office, my uncle, at his own earnest request, acting the part of a father to my dear Narcissa, who trembled very much, and had scarce spirits sufficient to support her under this great change of situation.
As I am fully convinced of your honour and love, I hope I shall never hear of such desperate proofs of either for the future. I am so strictly watched that it will be impossible for you to see me, until my brother's suspicion shall abate, or Heaven contrive some other unforeseen event in our behalf. In the meantime, you may depend on the constancy and affection of "Your own "Narcissa.
But t'day I'm tellin' ye another one which, in its way, is equally grand. But this time the story's about a man a wonderful man, gallant and brave, that ye'll love from this hour on." "Please, what does he look like?" asked Johnnie, wanting a definite picture in his mind. "A proper question! And, see! The old gentleman's asleep again! Good! Wheel him a mite away, would ye mind, Miss Narcissa?
Almira hobbles along in despair till, on reaching the bank, she succeeds in shaking off the dangerous monster; it is then carefully inspected by both Almira and Narcissa, to see at what price it can be induced to allow its body to be deprived of the shell. The crab naturally does not quite see the fun of this, and retires with all speed backward to the water.
He understood that he must live up to that law if he were ever to hold any badge he might be able to earn. "I I help out Cis sometimes," he admitted. "Y' see, she goes t' the fac'try awful early. And and if I didn't know how t' cook, why, maybe if I was t' go 'way from here maybe I'd almost starve t' death." "At the same time," reminded Mr. Perkins, "you're doing Miss Narcissa a daily good turn."
I rode across country into Sussex, where I learnt that Narcissa was in London, and that her brother was married, and vowed his sister should lose her fortune if she married without his consent. IV. I Am Married No sooner was I in London than I sought my charmer in her lodgings. How was my soul transported, when Narcissa broke in upon my view, in all the bloom of ripened beauty!
He who runs and reads may remember that in the "Night Thoughts" Philander and Narcissa are often mentioned and often lamented. To recollect lamentations over the author's wife the memory must have been charged with distinct passages. This lady brought him one child, Frederick, now living, to whom the Prince of Wales was godfather.
As for Miss Reid, we will take an affidavit that neither in miniature nor at large did she excel the celebrated Rosalba; and with regard to Mrs. Lennox, we consider her to be a mere figment, like Narcissa, Miss Tabitha Bramble, or any hero or heroine depicted by the historian of "Peregrine Pickle."
