Without further comment, he proceeded about his business, and remained in the shop till it was closed. Wyvil did not return, and the grocer tried to persuade himself they should see nothing more of him. Before Amabel retired to rest, he imprinted a kiss on her snowy brow, and said, in a tone of the utmost kindness, "You have never yet deceived me, child, and I hope never will.
Mirabel laid down his pen and took it on himself to reject this proposal. "Remember," he remonstrated, "that I have an interest in the diversions of the day. You can't expect me to be amused by my own story. I appeal to Miss Wyvil to invent a pleasure which will include the secretary." Cecilia blushed and looked uneasy. "I think I have got an idea," she announced, after some hesitation.
His mind was indeed not at ease. Even the inexcitable old doctor had felt the attraction which had already conquered three such dissimilar people as Alban Morris, Cecilia Wyvil, and Francine de Sor. He was thinking of Emily. A ring at the door-bell announced the arrival of the first patient. The servant introduced a tall lady, dressed simply and elegantly in dark apparel.
Trust to me, and I will secure your flight." "I cannot I dare not," cried Amabel, resisting him with all her force. "You must come," cried Wyvil, dragging her along. As he spoke, Mrs. Bloundel, who had been down to Blaize's room to ascertain what was the matter, returned. Trying the door, and finding it fastened, she became greatly alarmed, and called to Amabel to open it directly.
On you I can absolutely rely; and, after my experience of her, I ought to feel sure of Miss Jethro. I admit this; but I cannot get over my distrust of Emily's friends. I fear the cunning old doctor; I doubt Mr. Wyvil; I hate Alban Morris. "Do me a favor, my dear. Invite Emily to be your guest, and so separate her from these friends.
When, therefore, Amabel entered this structure, Leonard felt certain it was to meet her lover. Rushing forward, he saw her take her course through the crowd, and attract general attention from her loveliness but he nowhere discerned Maurice Wyvil. Suddenly, however, she struck off to the right, and halted near one of the pillars, and the apprentice, advancing, detected his rival behind it.
Wyvil about her family, of course? What did he say?" "He said she lost her mother when she was a child and he told me her father had died suddenly, a few years since, of heart complaint." "Well, and what else? Never mind now! Here is somebody coming." The person was only one of the servants. Mirabel felt grateful to the man for interrupting them.
My condition is that of a private gentleman, my name, Maurice Wyvil." "What you say of yourself, Mr. Maurice Wyvil, convinces me you will meet with a decided refusal from my husband," returned Mrs. Bloundel. "I trust not," replied Wyvil, glancing tenderly at Amabel. "If I should be so fortunate as to gain his consent, have I yours?"
In pursuance of their design of seeking out an astrologer, Maurice Wyvil and Lydyard crossed Cheapside and entered Friday-street.
In other respects, she was in perfect harmony with the prevalent feeling. She expressed herself with the utmost propriety; her sympathy moved poor Cecilia to tears. "I am sure, Miss de Sor, you will try to help us?" Mr. Wyvil began "With the greatest pleasure," Francine answered. "How long were you and Miss Emily Brown together, after Mr. Morris left you?"
