"None, save that of an honest man, who sees a woman cruelly wronged, and desperate with her wrong; who would thankfully save her if he could." "Save me? From what or whom?" "From Mr. Gerard Vermilye, who is now waiting down the road, and whom, if Lady Caroline Brithwood once flies to, or even sees, at this crisis, she loses her place among honourable English matrons for ever."
The candidate was Gerard Vermilye, Esquire; at the mention of whose name one Norton Bury man broke into a horse-laugh, which was quenched by his immediate ejection from the meeting. Then, Mr. Thomas Brown, steward of the Earl of Luxmore, seconded the nomination.
Love, you are a better Christian than I." All afternoon they both showed more than courtesy kindness, to this woman, at whom, as any one out of our retired household would have known, and as John did know well all the world was already pointing the finger, on account of Mr. Gerard Vermilye.
They took at least, Mr. Vermilye did all the property of Lord Luxmore's that he could lay his hands upon family jewels and money to a considerable amount. The earl is pursuing him now, not only as his daughter's seducer, but as a swindler and a thief." "And Richard Brithwood?" "Drinks and drinks and drinks. That is the beginning and the end of all." There was no more to be said.
You forget who you are, and who I am the daughter of the Earl of Luxmore." "Were you the King's daughter it would make no difference. I will save you in spite of yourself, if I can. I have already spoken to Mr. Vermilye, and he has gone away." "Gone away! the only living soul that loves me. Gone away! I must follow him quick quick." "You cannot. He is miles distant by this time.
I assure you, they form quite a contrast to their neighbours, who are Lord Luxmore's." "And his voters likewise, I suppose? the 'free and independent burgesses' who are to send Mr. Vermilye to Parliament?"
