This reasoning did not seem conclusive to Sophia, who shook her head and commenced plying her wheel with redoubled energy. "When Herbert Philipson was twelve years of age he was sent off to school, and Cecilia was confided to the care of a governess, who, under the direction of Mrs. Foster, was to undertake her education.
When I left England there was not a more prosperous merchant, nor a more estimable man in the whole city of Bristol, than Herbert Philipson." "From which we may conclude," remarked Mrs. Becker, "it is always advisable to have angels for friends." "We may also conclude," remarked Mrs.
"No more cards, sir, I thank you," said the Prince; "if, however, you have a mind for an hour's conversation, I am quite at your service." "I am obliged to you; I never talk. Good night, Mr. von Philipson." Mr. Beckendorff left the room. His Highness could contain himself no longer. He rang the bell. "Pray, Mrs. Clara," said he, "where are my horses?" "Mr.
A day was finally fixed when they were to be bound together by the holy ties of the church; everything was prepared for their union, when the commercial world was startled by the announcement that Philipson was a ruined man. A ship in which he had embarked a valuable freight had been wrecked, and an agent to whom he had entrusted a large sum of money had suddenly disappeared."
If Mr. von Philipson determine on acceding to these propositions, he is most probably aware of the general locality in which my residence is situated; and proper measures will be taken that, if Mr. von Philipson honour me with a visit, he shall not be under the necessity of attracting attention by inquiring the way to my house.
When she was told of the vagaries of Philipson, she prayed in private that he might be led from his evil ways, and could not help thanking Providence that she was not the wife of such a dreadful scapegrace." "I should think so," remarked Mrs. Becker. "At last, Herbert Philipson astonished even his own companions by a crowning act of folly.
He had made two wills, one leaving the bulk of his fortune to his step-son, Stephen Philipson, and another, and later one, made on the occasion of Philipson turning out badly, leaving him a modest allowance, and bequeathing the bulk of his fortune between his sister and Reginald Kavanagh.
They proceeded in silence for some moments, and then Beckendorff again turned round, and this time with a direct question. "I wonder if Mr. Von Philipson can make it convenient to honour me with his company another day. Can you tell me?" "I think the best person to inform you of that would be his Highness himself," said Vivian, using his friend's title purposely to show Mr.
"If it were only a romance I were relating to you, Sophia, I could very easily bring him back; but the narrative I am giving you is a matter of fact, which I cannot alter at will. There would be no difficulty in bringing a richly-laden East Indiaman, commanded by Captain Philipson, into the Severn, and making Herbert and Cecilia conclude the story in each other's arms, but it would not be true."
It had not taken him more than three minutes to do the whole thing. His plan was this. He had now both wills in his possession. He did not exactly know where Stephen Philipson was to be found, but he was sure to turn up now, and he would make terms with him for destroying the second will and producing the first, which was in his favour.
