I hope to contrive to leave Wenbourne Hill her own. It is a rich spot!
Once more, Fairfax, should you again fall in company with the Count, and he should give himself the most trifling airs, assure him that I will do myself the honour to embrace him within a month at farthest from that date, be it when it will. Adieu. Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton London, Grosvenor-Street
I know no place where, if you have but a morsel of the marvellous to detail, you will find hearers better disposed to gape and swallow. Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton London, Grosvenor-Street A fortnight has almost elapsed since I last wrote to my Louisa, till my heart begins to cry shame at the delay.
I expect she will soon put on boots and buckskin, and horsewhip her fellows herself; for she improves apace. Once more farewell. Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton Paris, Hotel d'Espagne, Rue Guenegaude, Fauxbourg St. Germain After abundance of jolting in carriages, sea sickness, and such-like trifling accidents, incidental to us travellers, here we are at last, dear Louisa.
Henley, I own the affair of the anonymous letter was a very improper and strange proceeding. Your aunt Wenbourne and Lord Fitz-Allen indeed seem to doubt it; but, according to the account which you and Mr. Henley give, I think they have no foundation for their doubts. The behaviour of Mr. Clifton, without the letter, would have been quite sufficient to have fixed my determination. What behaviour?
It is these incongruous these jarring tokens that engender doubt, and suspense, almost insupportable. Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton Pans, Hotel d'Espagne, Rue Guenegaude, Fauxbourg St. Germain The oddest and most unlucky accident imaginable, Louisa, has happened. Your brother and Frank have unfortunately half quarrelled, without knowing each other.
Heaven bless my Louisa, and give her superior prudence to guard and preserve her from these too strong susceptibilities! May the angel of fortitude never forsake her, as she seems half inclined to do her poor. Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton Chateau de Villebrun At last, my dear Louisa, the charm is broken: the spell of silence is dissolved.
Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton Chateau de Villebrun I know not, Louisa, how to begin! I have an accident to relate which has alarmed me so much that I am half afraid it should equally alarm my friend. Yet the danger is over, and her sensations cannot equal ours. She can but imagine what they were. But it is so incredible, so mad, so dreadful! Clifton is strangely rash!
Omnipotent as the power of truth and virtue is, I yet cannot approve the design. The enterprises of virtue itself may have their romance I know not This to me at least is fatal Could I ? I must conclude! Lose her? For ever! For ever! I must conclude Anna Wenbourne St. Ives to Louisa Clifton Paris, Hotel de l'Universite
What do you mean? Where is your aunt? She is not here, sir. It was I who wished to speak to you. You! And send in your aunt's name? My name is Wenbourne, sir. Your name is St. Ives, miss. This is extraordinary! Very extraordinary, upon my soul! What have you heard? What have you heard? That you are going back to Wenbourne-Hill. Well, what then? And that you do not intend we should visit France.
