"Say good-bye to him for me, and give him my love. Please tell him that, although all I had was my father's yet, as between him and me, Miss Brown is mine, and I expect him to send her to Wylder Hall. Good-bye again to my dear sister! I leave a bit of my heart in the house, where I know it will not be trampled on!" Theodora could not speak. Her only answer was another embrace, and they parted.
'Chelford had a note from Mr. Wylder this morning another note his coming delayed, and something of his having to see some person who is abroad, continued Dorcas, after a little pause. 'You have heard, of course, of Mr. Wylder's absence? 'Yes, something everything, said Rachel, hurriedly, looking frowningly at a flower which she was twirling in her fingers.
Then William Wylder shut the hall-door, and turned about. Little Fairy's drum was hanging from a peg on the hat-stand the drum that was to sound no more in the garden, or up and down the hall, with the bright-haired little drummer's song.
Of the forces in action for the renovation of the world, the sale of such old clothes is one of the least potent. They do, however, serve a little, I think, even as the rags of a Neapolitan for the olives of Italy, as a sort of manure for the young olives of the garden of God. But his far worst sorrow was leaving Miss Wylder. That was a pain, a keen pain in his heart.
I may have spoken with warmth, fearing that you might be acting under some cruel misapprehension that's all; and you don't think worse of me, I'm very sure, Captain Lake, for a little indiscreet zeal on behalf of a gentleman who has treated me with such unlimited confidence as Mr. Wylder. I'd do the same for you, Sir; it's my character.
She was a good deal shocked, and her feelings quite changed, however, when next morning the post brought a letter to Chelford from Mark Wylder, bearing the Boulogne postmark. It said Therefore, you see, my liberty and wishes being at present interfered with, it would be very hard lines if poor Dorcas should be held to her bargain. Therefore, I will say this she is quite free for me.
His selfishness would expand nobly, and rise above his prudential considerations, and drown them sometimes; and he was the sort of person, who, if the fancy were strong enough, might marry in haste, and repent and make his wife, too, repent at leisure. 'What do you laugh at, Charlie? said Wylder, grinning himself. 'At your confounded grumbling, Mark. The luckiest dog in England!
Beauty sometimes seen again does excel our recollections of it. Wylder had gone off the scene, as Mr. Carlyle says, into infinite space. Who could tell exactly the cause of his dismissal, and why the young lady had asserted her capricious resolve to be free?
I think you might trust me a little, Dorcas but that, of course, is for you, you are your own mistress now but, at least, you may reconsider the question you propose deciding in so extraordinary a way. I allow you might do much better than Mark Wylder, but also worse. He has not a title, and his estate is not enough to carry the point a force d'argent; I grant all that.
I do not represent to you how much reason everyone interested by relationship in that young lady has to feel offended at the disrespect with which you have treated her. Still hoping, however, that all may yet be explained, 'I remain, my dear Wylder, yours very truly, Lord Chelford had not opened the subject to Dorcas.
