They went on that important walk to Oxton feeble, divided, unsatisfied in heart: they returned as two united spirits, one in faith, one in hope, one in love; both heavenly and earthly. But the happy hour is past too soon; and, home again, they mixed once more with those conflicting elements of hatred and contention.
"I don't know but where did you leave him, Julian?" "Who! I? did I go out with him? Oh! yes, now I recollect: let's see, we strolled together midway to Oxton, and, as he was going somewhat further, there I left him?" How true the words, and yet how terribly false their meaning! "Dear me, that's very odd isn't it, general?"
And now, for friendly help; there is no one near: and it is growing dusk; and she dared not leave him there alone one minute for Julian dreaded Julian, may return, and kill him. What shall she do? How to get him home? Alas, alas! he may die where he is lying. Hark, Emmy, hark! The shouts of happy children bursting out of school! See, dearest see: here they come homewards merrily from Oxton.
I have looked for such a meeting many days alone, by night, with you! I would not willingly draw trigger, for the noise might bring down other folks upon us, out of Oxton yonder: but, drop that stick, or I fire."
Fanny, you know, is staying at Oxton, in Surrey, with Lady Castleton, the poor lady is so fond of her, and no one has comforted her like Fanny." "I was not aware that Miss Trevanion was out of town."
Beauteous girl! how often have I watched thee with straining eyes and aching heart, as thou wentest on thy summer's walk so oftentimes to Oxton, there to exercise thy bountiful benevolence in comforting the sick, gladdening the wretched, and lingering, with love's own look, in Charles's village school; how often have I prayed, that guardian angels might be about thy path as about thy bed!

Peacock it was, Peacock travestied, but Peacock still. Before I had recovered my amaze, a woman got out of a cabriolet that seemed to have been in waiting for the arrival of the coach, and hurrying up to Mr. Peacock, said, in the loud, impatient tone common to the fairest of the fair sex, when in haste, "How late you are! I was just going. I must get back to Oxton to-night."
Carlyle dresses so badly, and wears such a rough outside, that the flunkies are rude to him at gentlemen's doors. In the afternoon J and I took a walk towards Tranmere Hall, and beyond, as far as Oxton. But the old, whitewashed stone cottage is still frequent, with its roof of slate or thatch, which perhaps is green with weeds or grass.
Ness was with them; and from the dean, who would send them a hamper of choice fruit and flowers from Oxton Park, down to the curate, who worked in the same schools as Ellinor, and who was a great fisher, and caught splendid trout all did their best to help them to give a welcome to the only visitor they ever had. The only visitor they ever had, as far as the stately gentry knew.
