Had she used a figure of speech in saying that she was as poor as Mirabel himself? or had she told him the shocking truth? He put the question with perfect delicacy -but with unerring directness as well. Mr. Wyvil, quoting his daughter's authority, described Emily's income as falling short even of two hundred a year. Having made that disheartening reply, he opened another music book.
"I shall be only too glad, if I can be of any service to Miss Wyvil and Mr. Morris." With those obliging words, Mirabel made a dramatic entry, and looked at Cecilia with his irresistible smile. Startled by his sudden appearance, she unconsciously assisted Alban's design. Her silence gave him the opportunity of speaking in her place.
I came here to enjoy your triumph; but, egad, I have found so admirable a bubble in that hot-headed Disbrowe, whom I met at the Smyrna, and brought here to while away the time, that I must demand your congratulations upon mine." "You have certainly achieved an easy victory over the husband," returned Wyvil; "and I trust your success with the wife will be commensurate.
Your charming daughter tells me you play on the violin." Modest Mr. Wyvil looked confused. "I hope you have not been annoyed," he said; "I practice in a distant room so that nobody may hear me." "My dear sir, I am eager to hear you! Music is my passion; and the violin is my favorite instrument." Mr. Wyvil led the way to his room, positively blushing with pleasure.
"Scarcely so," replied Wyvil, hesitating before he answered the question. "I will instantly erect a scheme," replied the astrologer, rapidly tracing a figure on a sheet of paper. "The question refers to the seventh house. I shall take Venus as the natural significatrix of the lady.
Wyvil looked at Alban's letter again. "Do you know how Miss Jethro became acquainted with Mr. Mirabel?" he asked. "I didn't even know that they were acquainted." "Do you think it likely if Mr. Morris had been talking to you instead of writing to you that he might have said more than he has said in his letter?" Cecilia had hitherto remained a model of discretion.
And the conversation dropped. On the following day, Maurice Wyvil entered the grocer's shop. He was more richly attired than before, and there was a haughtiness in his manner which he had not hitherto assumed.
If you look to wed my daughter, you must conduct yourself more decorously; but I can tell you, you have no chance none whatever." "Time will show," replied Wyvil, audaciously. "You had better give her to me quietly, and save me the trouble of carrying her off, for have her I will." "Mercy on us!" cried Mrs. Bloundel, in accents of alarm; "now his wicked intentions are out."
Quickly mounting them, he overtook on the landing Maurice Wyvil. Before proceeding further, it will be necessary to retrace our steps for a short time, and see what was done by Maurice Wyvil after the alarming announcement made to him by the apprentice.
"'Fore heaven! we are discovered," cried the earl; "but whether by art, magic, or from previous acquaintance with our features, I pretend not to determine." "In either case, my lord, for it is useless, since you have avowed yourself, to address you longer as Wyvil," replied Etherege, "you owe Mr. Lilly an apology for the insult you have offered him.
