Perhaps Ellsworth made the same remark, and appreciated her kindness; for when Elinor turned to wish him good-night we strongly suspect that his countenance said so; there could be no doubt at least, that she blushed at the time, though pale but a moment before. After the ladies had gone, Mr. Wyllys and Ellsworth went off together, and Harry returned to the piazza.
But as I have not much time to spare, I must proceed to lay my affairs before you. Now I really and honestly want your advice, Agnes." "You have had it often before," replied Miss Wyllys, smiling. "I am quite at your service now," she added, seeing her sister-in-law look a little uneasy. Mrs. Wyllys was silent for a moment.
I was brought up on a farm, Miss Wyllys, and I am very happy that we have got in the open country. Besides, Mr. Hubbard's house will be too large for comfort." "Ha, ha!" faintly laughed Mr. Taylor; "you seem to like room out of doors better than within, Mrs. Taylor." At this moment two persons walked quietly into the room, and were received very kindly by Miss Wyllys and Elinor.
By dint of dwelling on Elinor's good qualities, and on what he fancied the plans of his brother and sister-in-law, he came to the conclusion that the only thing to be done, under the circumstances, by a man of any character by a man who had an opinion of his own, was to go immediately to Mr. Wyllys, and request his permission to address Elinor.
Ellsworth, "in concealing from you my regard for Miss Wyllys, and I hope you will wish me success." "Certainly," replied Harry; who was evidently somewhat prepared for the disclosure. "It is now some time since I have been attached to her, but it is only lately that I have been able to urge my suit as I could wish. The better I know Elinor Wyllys, the more anxious I am for success.
Wyllys; "and you young people, who have had so many advantages of education and leisure, are very right to give the subject some attention, for the sake of the community in which you live. Manners in their best meaning, as a part of civilization, are closely connected at many different points, with the character and morals of a nation.
Miss Wyllys was grieved to hear such a bad account of her old neighbour's daughter. "Her husband has left her, you say; where is she now?" "Her father brought her home with him. He went after her to Newport, where she had gone in the same party with this man this Mr. de Montbrun, and a person who lives in the same boarding-house, a Mrs. Bagman, who has done a great deal of harm to Julianna."
When she heard the footsteps approaching, she made an effort to raise herself, with a sort of instinctive desire to spare her aunt a sight of all her weakness. "You had better lie still, my dear Miss Elinor," said the doctor kindly, offering her a glass of some restorative. Miss Agnes entered the room and advanced anxiously to the sofa. "My poor child!" exclaimed Miss Wyllys.
Wyllys had rallied too strongly; but it was graceful, like every shade in her manner. Miss Agnes was well aware that the last two years had not been lost with Elinor, although passed in quiet every-day life. She knew, from close observation, that the character of her adopted child had been gradually approaching nearer to all she wished it to be.
This lady, to whom the reader has been already introduced, had been left, with four children, almost entirely dependent on her father-in-law. Her character was somewhat of a medley. She was a good-hearted woman, attached to her husband's family, and always asking advice of her friends, particularly Mr. Wyllys, and Miss Agnes, for whom she had a sincere respect.
