"I have been thinking a great deal, Mr. Wharncliffe, how to manage it; because I had not a great deal of money myself, and I did not know whether I could get help or no; but now I think I shall have some help; and I wanted to consult you to know what I had best do." "What do you want to do?" "First, I want to get her out of that dreadful place into a comfortable room somewhere."
Mr Wharncliffe sent up his card to one of the secretaries, and we were immediately ushered up, when I stated my wishes.
They expressed their obligations to me, and requested that I would accept their friendship. "Would you like to have a row on the water? It is a beautiful day, and if Mrs Wharncliffe will trust herself " "Oh, I should like it above all things. Will you go. William? I will run for a shawl." In a few minutes we were all three embarked, and I rowed them to my villa.
They had been admiring the beauty of the various residences on the banks of the Thames. "How do you like that one?" inquired I of Mrs Wharncliffe. "It is very handsome, and I think one of the very best." "That is mine," replied I. "Will you allow me to show it to you?" "Yours!" "Yes, mine; but I have a very small establishment, for I am a bachelor."
The Duke evidently intends the thing to blow over. Spoke to Lord Wharncliffe about the same thing. He said he would neither have voted nor have spoken against Government on Wednesday if he had had an idea of Wortley's resigning, because it gave the appearance of concert, and there really was none. He did not know of the letters till after they had been written.
"I do not know. I think she used to take in washing once. She could do that again, if she had a better room and conveniences." "And does that pay better?" "I believe so. Indeed I am sure." "Then she might do washing," said Matilda; "and Sarah might sew on a machine, Mr. Wharncliffe." "She has not got one, you know." "If we could get her one? Wouldn't that be nice, Mr. Wharncliffe?"
"That won't help your poor people though," said he smiling. "What more do you want to do, or to get, for them?" "Something to make a decent dress or two," Matilda said confidentially; "but I can do that myself. I don't know, David! things puzzle me. Mr. Wharncliffe says I must not try to do too much, because there are other poor people that suffer, and want the money."
When 'somebody' has found out that Jesus is the Saviour, he will have no doubt that he is the One 'anointed to save. You know, Messiah, and Christ, mean simply 'anointed." "Yes, sir, I know. But this person " "What of him?" said Mr. Wharncliffe smiling. "Is he a very difficult person?" "Rather," said Matilda slowly; "because he has never known that Jesus is the Messiah."
Mr Wharncliffe could not but approve of this judicious arrangement, and we separated; and, not to interfere with my narrative, I may as well tell the reader at once that Mr Wharncliffe's uncle bowed to circumstances, pretended to rejoice at the discovery of the will, never mentioned the loss of his tin box, put the hand of Cecilia into that of William, and they were married one month after the meeting at Mr Turnbull's, which I have now related.
Strange to say, the deceased bequeathed the whole of his property to his nephew, William Wharncliffe, and his niece, Cecilia, provided they married; if they did not, they were left 20,000 pounds each, and the remainder of the fortune to go to the first male child born after the marriage of either niece or nephew.
