While Clarence was thus misjudged by one whose affections and conduct he, in turn, naturally misinterpreted; while Lady Flora was alternately struggling against and submitting to the fate which Lady Westborough saw approach with gladness, the father with indifference, and the bridegroom with a pride that partook less of rapture than revenge, our unfortunate lover was endeavouring to glean, from Mordaunt's conversation and example, somewhat of that philosophy so rare except in the theories of the civilized and the occasional practice of the barbarian, which, though it cannot give us a charm against misfortune, bestows, at least, upon us the energy to support it.
Suffer me then to call upon Lady Westborough, whom I knew many years ago, and explain your origin, as well as your relationship to me." Linden paused irresolutely. "Were I sure that Lady Flora was not utterly influenced by her mother's worldly views, I would gladly consent to your proposal, but "
"But Lord Ulswater will be here in an hour, or perhaps less: may I tell him where you are, and suffer him to join you?" "If you will accompany him," answered Lady Flora, coldly, as she took up her portefeuille and withdrew. Now the pavilion was a small summer-house of stone, situated in the most retired part of the grounds belonging to Westborough Park.
"Man of blood," muttered the republican; "with homicide thy code of honour, and massacre thine interpretation of law, by violence wouldst thou rule, and by violence mayst thou perish!"

However, I could not make him fully understand it the other day, though I took particular pains to explain it." While this conversation was going on between the Marchioness of Westborough and Lord St. George, a dialogue equally interesting to the parties concerned, and I hope, equally light, witty, and entertaining to readers in general, was sustained between Clarence and Lady Flora.
"You have considerably passed the time in which we expected you, my lord," said Lady Westborough, who, as a beauty herself, was a little jealous of the deference due to the beauty of her daughter.

"Rich as Croesus," replied Lord St. George, with a sigh. "And Mr. Linden is his heir, I suppose?"

"How very disagreeable Lord Borodaile is!" said Lady Flora, when the object of the remark turned away and rejoined some idlers of his corps. "Disagreeable!" said Lady Westborough. "I think him charming: he is so sensible. How true his remarks on the world are!"
Dare I trust that this petition will be accorded to one who is, with great regard and esteem, etc. "This is fortunate," said Lady Westborough gently to her daughter, who, leaning her head on her mother's bosom, suffered hopes, the sweeter for their long sleep, to divide, if not wholly to possess, her heart.
"But Lord Ulswater will be here in an hour, or perhaps less: may I tell him where you are, and suffer him to join you?"
