The popular author of "Rosamund," etc., who will reopen the old Stanhope cottage near Hunston, New York, and spend the autumn there upon a new novel. Mr. Stanhope's health has not been good of late, and his physicians have recommended an extended stay in this quiet Hudson River country. Here was that "Mr.
'What! said the lady of the rectory, 'was Mr Slope there too? Eleanor merely replied that such had been the case. 'Why, Eleanor, he must be very fond of you, I think; he seems to follow you everywhere. Even this did not open Eleanor's eyes. She merely laughed, and said that she imagined Mr Slope found other attraction at Dr Stanhope's. And so they parted.
He repented having used the improper expression of dignity of mind, and he relapsed into his former opinion of Mrs. Stanhope's niece. A relapse is always more dangerous than the first disease. He sent home the horses to Lady Delacour the next day, and addressed Belinda, when he met her, with the air of a man of gallantry, who thought that his peace had been cheaply made.
If it be so, you have wound a goodly clue; If it be not, foreswear't: howe'er, I charge thee, As heaven shall work in me for thine avail, To tell me truly. Arthur Stanhope's protracted stay at St. John's, occasioned much discontent and repining among the crew of his vessel.
"We can certainly have good times if Mrs. Stanhope's health will permit," said Dick. "Here we are at the hotel." He uttered the last words as the carriage came to a stop at the curb. He leaped out and so did the others; and a few minutes later found them safe and sound in the hotel.

Now her face rose before him as he had seen it first last night at Stanhope's cottage, radiant as a dream come true looking at him and saying: "I'd like it very much if you could just trust me!"
Stanhope's house, and what they should say and do there, and what they could not, she made up her mind that it was far better for her to stay quietly at home with her mother and aunty; and the prospect of walks and drives with them, and of the biggest share of all the cherry and apple cakes, seemed more attractive than the very doubtful circumstances in which the others would be placed.
Mrs. Stanhope's perpetual anxiety about her niece's appearance, manners, and establishment, had completely worn out Belinda's patience; she had become more insensible to the praises of her personal charms and accomplishments than young women of her age usually are, because she had been so much flattered and shown off, as it is called, by her match-making aunt.

And by this arrangement he was enabled to get through his first month of absence from the church of Framley without any notice from Lady Lufton, seeing that Lady Lufton was in London all the time.
Nobody could have been more impressed with Hilda's influence upon Mr. Llewellyn Stanhope's commercial probity than Mr. Llewellyn Stanhope himself. He was a prey to all noble feelings; they ruled his life and spoiled his bargains; and gratitude, when it had a chance, which was certainly seldom in connection with leading ladies, dominated him entirely.
