This gave him some slight hopes that the difficulties which he knew must arise would finally be overcome. At all events, as long as the Miss Pembertons wished him to come to their house, he arrived at the conclusion that he was perfectly justified in going there. Miss Mary, led by May, was taking a stroll after breakfast, when Harry arrived.
Plenty of bearers were found, and the old lawyer had some difficulty in keeping pace with them, as, followed by half the population of Hurlston, they bore it up to the Miss Pembertons' cottage. Harry, as he galloped off from Texford with the dragoons, had left the party in the house in a state of considerable anxiety.
Jacob gave him a full account of the way May had been preserved, how she had been brought up by his parents, and how the Miss Pembertons had invited her to come and live with them. At length the doctor coming into the cabin put an end to the conversation. From that moment Harry began to recover.
"And it was a pleasure to be able afterwards to describe it to the Miss Pembertons. I mentioned meeting you, sir," she added, "and they look forward to seeing you before long." Harry of course said he was on his way to pay his respects to his cousins, but being uncertain as to their house, had called at her father's to enquire which it was.
They had taken the way to the downs to the south of Hurlston. Harry enquired for their cousins, the Miss Pembertons. On hearing that they were still living there he proposed paying them a visit. "To tell you the truth, I have not called since we came to Texford," answered Algernon. "You know that they have peculiar notions.
In person he thought her faultless. Harry was anxious that his mother and sister should see May without knowing who she was he was sure that the Miss Pembertons would be pleased at receiving a visit from them, and he was in hopes that he might be able to induce them to call without showing his anxiety that they would do so.
"I cannot help hoping that such will prove to be the case, and then the only bar to our happiness will be removed, dearest May," he wrote. Other letters came describing the voyage of the Thisbe through the Indian Seas, and then month after month passed by and no more were received. The roses began to fade from May's cheeks, even the Miss Pembertons became anxious.
Though you do live with the Miss Pembertons, there's no reason you should look down upon a young man who is in a respectable position, and would make you an independent lady if you would let him." As he spoke he tried to seize her hand, and put his other arm round to draw her towards him.
With the Galloways, Cadwaladers, Willings, Shippens, Rawles, and others, they formed a more or less distinct society, affecting London ways, dining at the extreme hour of four, loving cards, the dance, fox-hunting, and to see a main of game-cocks. Among them not of them came and went certain of what were called "genteel" Quakers Morrises, Pembertons, Whartons, and Logans.
"No," she said, "the Miss Pembertons made no exception with respect to those with whom I might dance, and I fear that they would object as much to my dancing in a quiet set as they would to my joining those who are rushing up and down so energetically out there;" and May looked towards the spot where a country dance of rustics was going on, the swains dragging their partners along at no small risk of pulling off their arms, though sometimes the case was reversed, and the damsels were engaged in hauling on their more awkward partners.
