Leslie, not liking this proposition, attempted to make himself still necessary by working on Riccabocca's fears as to that espionage on his retreat, which had been among the reasons that had hurried the sage into offering Randal Violante's hand.
he had a vision of salons, ladies, amorous intrigues; but even more than by this he was overwhelmed with sadness by the waltzes from La Dina and La Grande Duchesse. Dona Violante's reflexions opened Manuel's eyes; the scenes that occurred daily in the house, however, worked quite as much as these toward such a result.
It was not his object to conciliate Violante's affection, but rather to excite her repugnance, or at least her terror, we must wait to discover why; so he stood apart, seemingly in a kind of self-confident indifference, while the girl read the following letter: "My child, receive with favour Mr. Leslie. He has my consent to address you as a suitor.
I was with him till I went on to Knightsbridge, at the very time of Violante's disappearance. He could not then have been a party to it." "You saw Violante yesterday. Did you speak to her of Madame di Negra?" asked Harley, suddenly recalling the questions respecting the marchesa which Violante had addressed to him. In spite of himself, Randal felt that he changed countenance. "Of Madame di Negra?

And the next day he sent Giacomo to Lady Lansmere's with a very kind letter to Violante and a note to the hostess, praying the latter to bring his daughter to Norwood for a few hours, as he much wished to converse with both. It was on Giacomo's arrival at Knightsbridge that Violante's absence was discovered.
But don't you think Leonard and Miss Digby seem born for each other? And then the recollections of their childhood the thoughts of childhood are so deep, and its memories so strangely soft!" The long lashes drooped over Violante's musing eyes as she spoke. "And therefore," she said, after a pause, "therefore I hoped that Miss Digby might not be very rich nor very high-born."
