'Were you pleased? 'Oh, I was enraptured! exclaimed the bride; 'the sublime and romantic could be carried no higher! It makes me quite discontented with our home scenery. 'Your sister would not approve of that, said Theodora to Albert; she can bear no slight to Helvellyn. 'I forget is there a view of Helvellyn from Wrangerton? said Lord St. Erme, still somewhat dreamily. Mrs.
You will manage for mamma to see my boy, won't you? 'I would take him to her at Wrangerton myself. 'I am quite content that you should chiefly take care of him, you know.

I gave the history, and told my own share; then, in the style of Richard II, when Wat Tyler was killed, declared I would be her companion; and, after some bandying of words, we settled down peaceably. 'One thing amazes me. How did you get Wingfield to do it? I had plague enough with the old parson at Wrangerton, and I should have thought Wingfield harder to manage.
