Even in this beautiful county I know of nothing prettier. Then he sketched it, as it were, with a few light but glowing words. 'What a sweet scene! said Cousin Monica: 'only think of her never bringing me through it.
Such was my analysis; but in the coup-d'oeil of that white face that dazzled me in darkness, and haunted my daily reveries with a faded light, there was an intangible character of the insidious and the terrible. On the whole, however, I was unspeakably relieved. Dudley Ruthyn, Esq., and Mrs.
He took luncheon with us on the day of our departure, and with an adroit privacy, which in a layman would have been sly, presented her, in right of his holy calling, with a little book, the binding of which was mediaeval and costly, and whose letter-press dealt in a way which he commended, with some points on which she was not satisfactory; and she found on the fly-leaf this little inscription: 'Presented to Miss Millicent Ruthyn by an earnest well-wisher, 1st December 1844. A text, very neatly penned, followed this; and the 'presentation' was made unctiously indeed, but with a blush, as well as the accustomed smile, and with eyes that were lowered.
She stood up suddenly, and staring straight in his face, she succeeded in saying, after twice clearing her throat 'I cannot comprehend, Monsieur Ruthyn, unless you intend to insult me. 'It won't do, Madame; I must have that false key. I give you the opportunity of surrendering it quietly here and now.
He bowed me back again into my uncle's study, and the light of old Wyat's dreadful candle. Doctor Jolks was suave and pompous. I longed for a fussy practitioner who would have got over the ground in half the time. Coma, madam; coma. Miss Ruthyn, your uncle, I may tell you, has been in a very critical state; highly so. Coma of the most obstinate type.

It consisted of two hundred horse, that the earl had brought with him; and which was to be joined, at Chirk, by a hundred and fifty of Lord Grey's men from Ruthyn, orders having been already sent on for them to hold themselves in readiness.
'I weel try what I can do weeth your Uncle Silas. We are very good old friends, Mr. Ruthyn and I, she said with a leer which I did not understand, and which yet frightened me. I never could quite understand why these Jezebels like to insinuate the dreadful truth against themselves; but they do.
It positively does me good to look at her. It is the glow of flowers in winter, and the fragrance of a field which the Lord hath blessed. 'Country air, Miss Ruthyn, is a right good kitchen to country fare. I like to see young women eat heartily. You have had some pounds of beef and mutton since I saw you last, said Dr. Bryerly.
The thing is clear; you aggravate by denying; you must give me that key, if you please, instantly, otherwise I ring this bell, and you shall see that I mean what I say. There was a little pause. He rose and extended his hand towards the bell-rope. Madame glided round the table, extended her hand to arrest his. 'I will do everything, Monsieur Ruthyn whatever you wish.
She paused about the middle of the floor, and looked at me with what I can only describe as her wild-beast stare. 'You are a very secrete family, you Ruthyns you are so coning. I hate the coning people. By my faith, I weel see Mr. Silas Ruthyn, and ask wat he mean. I heard him tell old Wyat that Mr. Dudley is gone away to-night.
