"This," said Ralph, with enthusiasm, "is the proudest moment of my life. The beautiful Sallianna " "Oh, Mr. Ashley." "Yes, madam!" said Ralph, "torture would not make me change the word." "La! Mr. Ashley!" "The beautiful Miss Sallianna has declared that I am possessed of intrinsic perspicuity! I need nothing more. Now let the fates descend!" With which heroic words Mr.
"Oh," she screamed, "and you think I am going to believe that when you spend the first half an hour of your visit with Miss Sallianna talking, I suppose, about the 'beauties of nature!" And the young girl clapped her hands. "I wanted" commenced Verty "Oh, don't tell me what you wanted!" cried Fanny; "you saw in the garden here two nice young girls, if I do say it " "You may !"
Could you not practice upon others the wiles of your intrinsic charms, and spare the weak Sallianna, whose only desire was to contemplate the beauties of nature in her calm retreat, where a small property sufficed for all her mundane necessities?
"Ah, my dear sir!" he said, stalking toward Verty, and grimacing, at the same time, at Redbud, "are you there, and with the fairest of her hem!" And Mr. Jinks stopped, nearly caught in the meshes of his gallantry. "Yes, this is me, and I've been talking with Redbud," said Verty; "is that Miss Sallianna?" The lady had recovered her simper; and now flirted her fan as gracefully as ever.
Redbud smiled at Miss Fanny's consistency, and was about to reply, when the bell for prayers rang. The two young girls rose, and smoothing their hair slowly, descended, arm in arm, and still conversing, to the dining-room, where old Scowley, as Verty called her, and Miss Sallianna, awaited them, in state, with their scholars.
With which words the lady ogled Verty. Verty looked at Miss Sallianna, and sighed more deeply than he had ever sighed before. The lady's face was full of the tenderest interest; it seemed to say, that with its possessor all secrets were sacred, and that nothing but the purest friendship, and a desire to serve unhappy personages, influenced her.
"I mean," Redbud went on, with a slight color in her cheek, "I mean, to amuse himself with compliments and pretty speeches if Miss Sallianna thinks he is, she is mistaken." "Odious old thing! to be flirting with all the young men who come to see us!" said Fanny. "No, no," Redbud went on, "I think you are mistaken. But as you have mentioned Verty, please promise me one thing, Fanny."
"You, sir!" cried Fanny. "Yes! I wonder if your divine creature Sallianna by name did not tell me, ten minutes since, that you yes, you, Miss Fanny! were desperately enamored of Mr. Verty!"
Miss Lavinia having, by a solemn movement of the head, indicated her willingness to languish without her hostess' society for a short period, Miss Sallianna rose, and made her exit from the apartment, with upraised eyes and gently smiling lips. Five minutes afterwards Redbud ran in, laughing and rosy-cheeked. "Oh, cousin Lavinia!" she cried, "I'm so glad to see you!"
Let us view the beauties of nature." "They are not so lovely as those beauties which I have been viewing since I saw you, my dearest Miss Sallianna." "Really, you make me blush," replied the mincing and languishing voice "you men are dreadful creatures!" "Dreadful!" "You take advantage of our simplicity and confidence to make us believe you think very highly of us."
