Thus, after paths so devious, meet those who have parted in youth, now on the verge of age, there, in the same scenes where Austin and Ellinor had first formed acquaintance; he aiding her to soothe the wounds inflicted by the ambition that had separated their lots, and both taking counsel to insure the happiness of the rival she had preferred.
Boy, would you have him live to dishonor these gray hairs?" "Sir, sir, forgive me, uncle, forgive me. But pray go to see Lady Ellinor; for whatever she has to say, I repeat that I am sure it will be nothing to wound you." "Nothing to wound me, yet relate to him!" It is impossible to convey to the reader the despair that was in those words.
Latent in Ellinor was her father's artistic temperament; everything new and strange was a picture and a delight; the merest group in the street, a Roman facchino, with his cloak draped over his shoulder, a girl going to market or carrying her pitcher back from the fountain, everything and every person that presented it or himself to her senses, gave them a delicious shock, as if it were something strangely familiar from Pinelli, but unseen by her mortal eyes before.
"But how can I leave it!" Ellinor cried. "They may do a hundred things may dig up the shrubbery. Oh! Dixon, I feel as if it was sure to be found out! Oh! Dixon, I cannot bear any more blame on papa it will kill me and such a dreadful thing, too!" Dixon's face fell into the lines of habitual pain that it had always assumed of late years whenever he was thinking or remembering anything.
Ellinor let down the carriage window, to admit the air; and she took the occasion to tell the coachman to drive faster. There was that change in Madeline's voice which alarmed her. "How noble was his look! you saw him smile!" continued Madeline, talking to herself: "And they will murder him after all. Let me see, this day week, ay, ere this day week we shall meet again."
Ah, you blush: well, will you knit him another?" "Pshaw, Papa! Good b'ye, I am going to gather you a nosegay." But Ellinor was seized with a sudden fit of industry, and somehow or other she grew fonder of knitting than ever.
For Ellinor had fainted, falling forwards on the arm she had held. When she came round she was lying half undressed on her bed; they were giving her tea in spoonfuls. "I must get up," she moaned. "I must go home." "You must lie still," said Mrs. Forbes, firmly. "You don't know. I must go home," she repeated; and she tried to sit up, but fell back helpless.
And even had your uncle been well enough to go with us, his presence would but have created an additional cause for wonder; so as soon as we arrived, and while you went up with the Captain, I wrote my letter and despatched my man. I expect Lady Ellinor will be here before nine o'clock.
The young lord was a reading man and a scholar, and we had become slightly acquainted when he left for his travels. "Now, on hearing my name Lord Rainsforth took my hand cordially, and leading me to his daughter, said, 'Think, Ellinor, how fortunate! this is the Mr. Caxton whom your brother so often spoke of.
Ness was with them; and from the dean, who would send them a hamper of choice fruit and flowers from Oxton Park, down to the curate, who worked in the same schools as Ellinor, and who was a great fisher, and caught splendid trout all did their best to help them to give a welcome to the only visitor they ever had. The only visitor they ever had, as far as the stately gentry knew.
