Do you not think we may let things go on? she said, in so humble a manner, that it brought Albinia's tears, and a kiss was the only answer. 'Please tell me, said Sophy; 'for I don't want to deceive myself. 'I am sure I am no judge, cried Albinia, 'after the dreadful mischief I have done. 'The mischief was in me, said Sophy, 'or you could not have done it.
She opened her grandmother's back gate, the entrance to a slip of garden smothered in laurels, and led the way to a small green arbour, containing a round table, transformed by calico hangings into what the embroidered inscription called 'Autel a l'Amour filial et maternel, bearing a plaster vase full of fresh flowers, but ere Albinia had time to admire this achievement of French sentiment, Genevieve exclaimed, clasping her hands, 'Oh, madame, pardon me, you who are so good!
'I was particularly pleased with his manner, and it was an act of great presence of mind and dexterity. 'It is all a maze and mystery to me, said Albinia; 'do tell me all about it. I can't make out how the horse came there. 'I understood that young Dusautoy was calling here, said Mr. Kendal; 'I wondered at even his coolness in coming in by that way, and at your letting him in.
It was quickly explained that the aunts had only decided, two days before, on coming to Fairmead at once, some other engagement having failed them, and they were delighted to find that they should meet their dear Albinia, and be introduced to Mr. Kendal. Setting off before the post came in, Albinia had missed Winifred's note to tell her of their arrival.
'It did not seem to him orthodox without me, and when he was let into my room again, it was the prettiest sight! When he had been told of his little sister, all he said was that he did not want little girls girls were stupid 'Ah! that came of your premature introduction to my Albinia, 'Not at all. It was partly as William's own nephew, and partly because pleasure was expected from him.
'But surely, Gilbert, he is not always lying in ambush for you, like a cat for a mouse. You can't be his sole game. 'No, but he is coming or going, or out with his gun, and he will often come part of the way with me, and he is such a droll fellow! Albinia thought that there was but one cure. To leave Gilbert daily exposed to the temptation must be wrong, and she laid the case before Mr.
'He may not come after all, said Gilbert; and Albinia, laying hold of that hope, had nearly forgotten the threatened disaster, as her party appeared by instalments, and Winifred owned to her that Sophy had grown better-looking than could have been expected.
I showed my scorn for his want of boldness, instead of helping him. Think of my having fancied he had no courage. 'Kindness taught him courage, said Albinia. 'It might perhaps have earlier taught him moral courage. If you and he could have leant against each other, and been fused together, you would have made something like what Edmund was, I suppose. 'I drove him off, cried Sophy.
The wedding was fixed for Easter week, which fell early, and Albinia cast about for some excuse for taking her away afterwards. An opportune occasion offered.
'They do have luncheon here in general, said Mr. Kendal, as if not knowing exactly how it came to pass. 'O yes, said Lucy; 'Sarah Anne asked me whether we ate wedding-cake every day. 'Poor Miss Sarah Anne! said Albinia, laughing. 'But one cannot help feeling inhospitable when people come so unconscionably early, and cut up all one's morning.
