But now tell me of your own affairs. Have you seen la petite? 'I just saw her the other evening, he answered uneasily. 'Just? What does that mean, I wonder? Now you don't look anything like so well as when you were at Scarborough. You're worrying; yes, I know you are. It's your nervous constitution, my poor boy. So you just saw her? No more imprudences?
Even his imprudences are often the result of wise reflection; they help him along the road to success; they finally acquire so superior a position that, from their beginning, so to speak, dates the hour of his triumph. You must be careful, Marquis, not to go to extremes; you must not show the Countess enough love to lead her to understand the excess of your passion.
When he was nineteen years old he returned to England, and as soon as he was of age, and capable of enjoying the pleasures of gaiety, he came to London, where he spent the greatest part of his paternal estate. At about the age of twenty-three, to crown his other imprudences, he married, without improving his reduced circumstances thereby.
A young lover, in the simplicity of a first love, would have committed the enchanting imprudences which are so difficult to resist. But he did resist even Juana herself, Juana pouting, Juana making her long hair a chain which she wound about his neck when caution told him he must go. The most suspicious of guardians would however have been puzzled to detect the secret of their nightly meetings.
Carlyle is right, my lord," observed Mr. Warburton, looking over his spectacles. "Lady Isabel was in safety at Mount Severn till the spring, and the purchase money from East Lynne what the earl could touch of it was a stop-gap for many things, and made matters easy for the moment. However, his imprudences are at an end now."
The Duke's gift of Boscofolto to the Countess Belverde had stirred up a swarm of epigrams, and the most malignant among them, Crescenti averred, were openly ascribed to Gamba. "A few more imprudences," he added, "must cost him his post; and if your excellency has any influence with him I would urge its being used to restrain him from such excesses."
Some of them took situations with the other settlers, more fell victims to the climate of the island and their own imprudences and distresses; and a thousand of them had died within two years. Ovando had revived the enthusiasm for mining by two enactments.
But, alas! the period of my happiness had passed away, and what pain and what grief was I not doomed to suffer before I again saw my native country. My brother my poor Henry committed some imprudences, and was suddenly attacked with an intermittent fever, which in a few days carried him off. My Anna and I shed abundance of tears, for we both loved Henry with the warmest affection.
These grave imprudences, and indeed many others, came to the ears of the First Consul, who refused at first to believe them; but how could he remain deaf to reports which were repeated each day with more foundation, though doubtless exaggerated by malice?
The despair of our rivals, the indiscretions that betray the sentiments we inspire, this enchants us proportionately to the misery they suffer. Similar imprudences persuade us much more that we are loved, than that our charms are incapable of giving us a reputation. But what bitterness poisons such sweet pleasures!
