Was not my self-denial perhaps a form of selfishness? I only shrank from love because I dreaded the reproaches of my own heart; I did good to no one, was only anxious to save myself. She I dare not think of it! My nature is so weak. Take your love from me and you take my life. Wilfrid's heart leaped with the wild joy of a mountain torrent.
Thus the ladies of Brookfield were led on to be more serious concerning Besworth than they had thought of being, and began to feel that their honour was pledged to purchase this surpassing family seat. In a household where every want is supplied, and money as a topic utterly banished, it is not surprising that they should have had imperial views. Adela was Wilfrid's favoured correspondent.
Unlike Emily, she was not inspired with an ardent idealism independently of her affections; with love had begun her conscious self-study, and love alone exalted her. Her many frivolous tendencies she had only overcome by dint of long endeavour to approach Wilfrid's standard. If in one way this was an item of strength, in another it indicated a very real and always menacing weakness.
We can fight the Hungarians with one hand, and you Italians with the other with a little finger. On what spot have we given way? We have to weep, it is true; but tears do not testify to defeat; and already I am inclined to pity those fools who have taken part against us. Some have experienced the fruits of their folly." This was the nearest approach to a hint at Wilfrid's misconduct.
Those men had looked on her admiringly, it was true, but would Wilfrid have ceased to love her if she had been beautiful? An extraordinary intuition of Wilfrid's sentiment tormented her now.
This will mean practically a division between the brothers to which Arthur has already pledged himself, so he tells me but with no power to Coryston to make such radical changes as would destroy the family tradition, at least without Arthur's consent and Sir Wilfrid's. But Coryston will have plenty of money and plenty of land wherewith to experiment, and no doubt we shall see some strange things.
The only touch of it that came to Emilia was when she attempted to penetrate to Wilfrid's reason for calling her down to Devon that he might renounce and abandon her. She wanted a reason to make him in harmony with his acts, and she could get none. This made the world look black to her.
Wilfrid's manner was now all that could be desired in a young man who, destined to succeed in politics, would naturally make a figure in society.
Wilfrid's, and is attended to a very large extent by Irish people. The situation of it is lofty; it stands upon higher ground than any other place of worship in the town; but it is so hemmed in with houses, &c., that you can scarcely see it, and if you could get a full view of it nothing very beautiful would be observed about the exterior.
Its dangerous to either command or advise the gentler sex, and as everything finds its own level by having its own way they will, we suppose, in the end. One of the most noticeable features in connection with the services at St. Wilfrid's is the music. It is proverbial that Catholics have good music.
