JANE GRAHAM joined Elinor at Wyllys-Roof, after having made her parting curtsey to Mrs. G . Her parents lived at Charleston; but as her constitution was delicate, and required a more bracing air than that of Carolina, Jane had been more than once, for a twelvemonth at a time, entirely under Miss Wyllys's charge, and was seldom absent from Longbridge for more than a few months together.
Thoughts like these were passing through Mr. Wyllys's mind, as he sat looking at Charlie's picture. Mrs. Taylor had, in the mean time, been making arrangements for her younger children to enter Miss Patsey's school for the summer. Mr. Taylor having joined the ladies, something was heard about 'terms, and the affair appeared settled. Miss Agnes having mentioned to Mrs.
Such was Elinor in the eyes of her aunt, but it must not be supposed that this was the general opinion of Uncle Josie's guests; by no means; many remarks were made upon Miss Wyllys's being so decidedly plain; and even her dancing was thought inferior by some of the company to the more laboured graces of Mrs.
Oh, no; she can't endure him, they are quarrelling half the time when together. No, it is very evident that Stryker is courting Miss Wyllys's favour. But I confess I feel encouraged by her conduct towards him; there is a quiet civility in it, which speaks anything but very decided approbation."
Charles writes me word that he is quite changed pale and care-worn so different from his usual look; he says my uncle has grown ten years older in the last week. And such a kind, indulgent father as he has been!" Tears filled Miss Wyllys's eyes. "Is his daughter Emmeline at home?" she asked. "Yes; and Emmeline seems more sobered by this terrible business, than Mrs. Hilson herself.
Ellsworth bit his lips, to prevent their expressing his opinion, that the young lady must always have a large circle of listeners. "Have you seen Mr. Wyllys's party this morning?" inquired Adeline. "The Wyllyses! Are they on board?" exclaimed Mr. Ellsworth, with surprise and pleasure. "I thought them at Saratoga by this time."
Wyllys's displeasure against him, was fast disappearing under the influence of the strong interest now aroused in his favour. Miss Agnes had also resumed entirely, her former manner towards him.
The ladies were sitting together, in Mrs. Wyllys's pleasant little parlour, engaged with their needles, while the children were playing under the windows, in the shady door-yard. "Shall I put the bow on the right or left side, Elinor?" asked Mrs. Wyllys, who was re-trimming a hat for one of her little girls. "It looks very well as you have it now, Aunt;" replied her niece.
"They sit conferring ." Taming the Shrew. THE usual evening circle had collected in Miss Wyllys's parlour, with the addition of Mary Van Alstyne, who had just arrived from Poughkeepsie, and Mrs. St. Leger. Miss Emma Taylor had gone to a concert with her good-natured brother-in-law, and a couple of her admirers.
Wyllys's boy recovered, and was sent off to school; and this rail-road matter was also satisfactorily settled. As there was nothing more to detain the family in the country, the Wyllyses went to Philadelphia, and took possession of their lodgings for the winter. "Had you not lately an intent, speak truly, To go to Paris?" MISS TAYLOR paid her visit to Miss Lawrence.
