Leslie; come, Mother, dear Mother, you know you promised you would, you said I was to call you; see, it will rain no more, and the shower has left the myrtles and the violet-bank so fresh." "My dear Evelyn," said Mrs. Leslie, with a smile, "I am not so young as you." "No; but you are just as gay when you are in good spirits and who can be out of spirits in such weather?
"Her name, I think, is Hill; she is wife to the carpenter you employed about a new temple at Violet-Bank." "O, what what, that woman? Well, well, I'll see she shall be paid. Come, let us go to the library." "What, with my commission so ill executed? I promised to petition for her to have the money directly." "Pho, pho, there's no such hurry; I don't know what I have done with her bill."
"Our bill, madam, for work done to the new Temple at Violet-Bank: it was the last great work my poor husband was able to do, for it was there he met with his misfortune." "What bill? What misfortune?" cried Cecilia; "what had your husband to do at Violet-Bank?" "He was the carpenter, madam. I thought you might have seen poor Hill the carpenter there." "No, I never was there myself.
Before we arrived at our destination, he said he had directed his servant to be in readiness to take home the gig from Violet-Bank, for that we could return by another road, and call there. "I like your arrangement much," said I, "as I wish to pay my respects to Mrs Vernon before I leave." "It is all very proper," said Felworth, "but there was no occasion to lay such emphasis on the 'Mrs."
"Do you wish me to give him a draft for the money upon my own banker?" "That would be vastly obliging," answered Mr Harrel, "and I will give you my note for it directly. And so we shall get rid of this fellow at once: and he shall do nothing more for me as long as he lives. I will run up a new building at Violet-Bank next summer, if only to shew him what a job he has lost."
And you shall not be the worse for obliging me; I will never employ any body else, and I shall have occasion for you very soon, as I intend to make some alterations at Violet-Bank that will be very considerable." "Sir," said the man, still louder, "it is of no use your employing me, if I can never get my money.
You know the Vernons are connexions of ours, and that is one reason why they are residing at Violet-Bank now. These remarks of Felworth served to remove some unpleasant matters from my mind. I saw that I would experience no rivalry from him; and I thought myself a match for Flixton if I had but a fair field.

But I need not detail the progress of my recovery. I was in Violet-Bank, near to which the accident had occurred. My brother soon after came to see me; and even my worthy aunt, in her anxiety, ventured into "that horrid country." Pleasant, indeed, were the hours I passed in the period of my convalescence. As soon as was permitted by the doctor, I had a visit from Felworth.
Cecilia endeavoured to refute this opinion, which she regarded as proceeding rather from prejudice than justice; but when she mentioned that the baronet was invited to spent the Easter holidays at Violet-Bank, he represented with such energy the consequent constructions of the world, as well as the unavoidable encouragement such intimacy would imply, that he terrified her into an earnest entreaty to suggest to her some way of deliverance.
