She is lively, witty, and has no fear in her composition; but she is very young yet, not more than seventeen and nobody knows what she really is she does not know herself. These are the parties who meet in the cabin of the yacht. The crew consist of ten fine seamen, the steward and the cook. There is also Lord B -'s valet, Mr Ossulton's gentleman, and the lady's-maid of Miss Ossulton.
Mr Vaughan," cried Cecilia Ossulton; "you know it came from your heart." "My dear Cecilia," said the elder Miss Ossulton, "you forget yourself what can you possibly know about gentlemen's hearts?" "The Bible says, 'that they are deceitful and desperately wicked, aunt." "And cannot we also quote the Bible against your sex, Miss Ossulton?" replied Seagrove.
It was about two years after this that Cecilia Ossulton, who was sitting at her work-table in deep mourning for her aunt, was presented with a letter by the butler. It was from her friend Mrs Lascelles, informing her that she was married again to a Mr Davenant, and intended to pay her, a short visit on her way to the Continent.
She took her bonnet and went on deck, at once told Pickersgill that he could not please her or Cecilia more than by frightening Miss Ossulton, who, under the idea that it was all a hoax, had quite recovered her spirits; talked of her pride and ill-nature, and wished her to receive a useful lesson.
It appears to me, Corbett, that the gentleman's clothes which lie there will fit you, and those of the good-looking fellow who was spokesman will, I am sure, suit me well.

"The partitions are very thin, and you spoke very loud," said Mrs Lascelles; "at all events, go to him quickly." "Good-bye, miss; good-bye, ma'am; if I shouldn't see you any more," said Maddox, trembling with fear, as he obeyed the awful summons which was to demand a tooth-pick. Miss Ossulton would not touch the breakfast; not so Mrs Lascelles and Cecilia, who ate very heartily.
She married an old man to please her father and mother, which was very dutiful on her part. She was rewarded by finding herself a widow with a large fortune. Having married the first time to please her parents, she intends now to marry to please herself; but she is very young, and is in no hurry. That young lady with such a sweet expression of countenance is the Hon. Miss Cecilia Ossulton.
"We have a nice breeze now, my lord," observed Mr Stewart, who had remained on deck, "and we lie right up Channel." "So much the better," replied his lordship; "we ought to have been anchored at Cowes a week ago. They will all be there before us."
