Burnie Advocate (Newspaper) - January 22, 1881, Burnie, Tasmania National Library of Australia ales Etc. Evelun Edgare ave bait ringtones of Felbab Azon Hall chapter Al. Continued by e. . In the midst of my enthusiastic reverie i was again called upon by mrs. Barrington to Lead lord Landore s speech to her and Mary but that i could not do of i excused 1 myself and my aunt undertook the task herself. I quilted the room ostensibly to give orders for dinner in reality to allow time for my nerves to subside into their usual Calm i returned in a Short time however to hear my aunt s enthusiastic commentaries on. The Favourite whole apropos Courtesy had elevated him enormously in her Good opinion and whose cold denial of All amatory intentions towards the offending heiress was evidently a Balm to the Pride which had been so deeply wounded by her unfeeling and insolent remarks. In the midst of my aunt s wonder Merit at lord Landore b unexpected communication however her Eye suddenly turned to my Uncle s letter and on again perusing it she announced the intended return of him and his companion on the afternoon of that very Day. I glanced at Mary but the flush of pleasure had departed from her Cheek and its sparkle from her Eye and although mrs. Barrington herself spoke cheerfully still her manner was uneasy and uneven and 1 was half tempted to entreat her to be candid and Tell me the truth at once. I even commenced a conversation on the subject but her mind closed As the petals of a Flower close Over its cup and her cold and guarded manner showed me that for the present at least my efforts would be in vain. On the subject of my Uncle s embarrassments she knew that Reserve would be useless and impossible but on the topic of Cabbell o Fea and his Friendly intentions she was guarded and impenetrable. I hazarded a doubt As to his sincerity and disinterestedness but she stopped me at once. " either you Are prejudiced against or. O Fea she said coldly or you do not know him. He is a Man of the world it is True and is said to be one who loves Money and has the cleverness to find it where other men fail. Ail this May be True but it Only shows that he is Wise and prudent without proving him to be anything worse. At this moment he is the Only Parson on whom your Uncle can depend for saving himself and his family from Beggary and ruin. A Friend who has this Power is not to be either misrepresented or despised Eveleen and therefore for the future you will oblige me and serve us All by postponing your objections to his character they can be Only surmises after All and when he arrives you will add to the favour by receiving him As a person who is disposed to be conciliated and whom it will be our own fault if we convert from an energetic partisan and useful ally into an indifferent Spectator of our misfortunes or a creditor whom it would be the extremity of Folly to she addressed this decided speech fully As much to Mary As to me and As the sentiments it expressed were reasonable enough i had no objection to make to it significant As it was. One thing however it showed me namely that with All her worldly Wisdom my aunt was no match for or. Cabbell o Fea. She was in his toils and whatsoever might be her private opinion of his principles or practice the whispering of her own selfish prudence prompted her. To give them a colouring favourable to him since to do otherwise would probably Lead to results such As she had foreshadowed. For the remainder of the Day she and Mary were closeted together whilst i was busied in preparing for the reception of the travellers although i had my suspicions that my Wise aunt kept me so fully occupied in order to have an Opportunity of impressing Mary with her own views lather than from any positive necessity for the elaborate arrangements which i was directed to superintend. Chapter Ali. A u o Fea returned. The hour of dinner had been postponed but late As it was a Long interview and consultation Between mrs.

" poor papa she exclaimed " How changed he is he looks ten years older than when he left us Eveleen and when he kissed me he he was fatigued after his journey my love i replied " and his mind just now is troubled but his life hitherto has been unvisited i y misfortun6, and Eten slight checks and obstacles look formidable Toi Hose who have been hitherto a used but his misfortunes do not Promise to be Light ones Eveleen she answered " save for the Friendly Aid 1 of or. O Fea Mamma says we might be driven from the Hall tomorrow. We ought to be very grateful to him i m sure i she closed the sentence with a sigh however. That is As it May be Mary dear i said seriously. In or.
