Esther Sleepe—this memorialist’s mother—of whom she must now with reverence9, with fear—yet with pride and delight—offer the tribute of a description—was small and delicate, but not diminutive10, in person. Her face had that sculptural oval form which gives to the air of the head something like the ideal perfection of the poet’s imagination. Her fair complexion11 was embellished12 by a rosy13 hue14 upon her cheeks of Hebe freshness. Her eyes were of the finest azure15, and beaming with the brightest
[Pg 62]
intelligence; though they owed to the softness of their lustre16 a still more resistless fascination17: and they were set in her head with such a peculiarity19 of elegance20 in shape and proportion, that they imparted a nobleness of expression to her brow and to her forehead, that, whether she were beheld21 when attired22 for society; or surprised under the negligence23 of domestic avocation24; she could be viewed by no stranger whom she did not strike with admiration25; she could be broken in upon by no old friend who did not look at her with new pleasure.
It was at a dance that she first was seen by young Burney, at the house of his elder brother, in Hatton Garden; and that first sight was to him decisive, for he was not more charmed by her beauty than enchanted27 by her conversation.
So extraordinary, indeed, were the endowments of her mind, that, her small opportunity for their attainment28 considered, they are credible29 only from having been known upon proof.
Born in the midst of the city—but not in one of those mansions30 where, formerly,[10]
[Pg 63]
luxury and riches revelled31 with a lavish32 preponderance of magnificence, that left many of those of the nobles of the west plain or old-fashioned in comparison: not in one of those dwellings33 of the hospitable34 English merchant of early days, whose boundless35 liberality brought tributary36 under his roof the arts and sciences, in the persons of their professors; and who rivalled the nobles in the accomplishments37 of their progeny39, till, by mingling40 in acquirements, they mingled41 in blood:—the birth of the lovely Esther had nothing to boast from parental42 dignity, parental opulence43, nor—strange, and stranger yet to tell—parental worth.
Alone stood the lovely Esther, unsustained by ancestry44, unsupported by wealth, unimpelled by family virtue46——
Yet no!—in this last article there was a partnership47 that redeemed48 the defection, since the Male parent was not more wanting in goodness, probity49, and conduct, than the Female was perfect in all—if perfect were a word that, without presumption50, might ever be applied51 to a human being.
With no advantage, therefore, of education, save the simple one of early learning, or, rather, imbibing52 the French language, from her maternal53 grandfather,
[Pg 64]
who was a native of France, but had been forced from his country by the edict of Nantz; this gifted young creature was one of the most pleasing, well-mannered, well-read, elegant, and even cultivated, of her sex: and wherever she appeared in a social circle, and was drawn54 forth55—which the attraction of her beauty made commonly one and the same thing—she was generally distinguished56 as the first female of the party for sense, literature, and, rarer still, for judgment57; a pre-eminence58, however, not more justly, than, by herself, unsuspectedly her due; for, more than unassuming, she was ignorant of her singular superiority.[11]
To excel in music, or in painting, so as to rival even professors, save the highest, in those arts, had not then been regarded as the mere59 ordinary progress of female education: nor had the sciences yet become playthings for the nursery. These new roads of ambition for juvenile60 eminence are undoubtedly61
[Pg 65]
improvements, where they leave not out more essential acquirements. Yet, perhaps, those who were born before this elevation62 was the mode; whose calls, therefore, were not so multitudinous for demonstrative embellishments, may be presumed to have risen to more solid advantages in mental attainments63, and in the knowledge and practice of domestic duties, than the super-accomplished aspirants64 at excellence65 in a mass, of the present moment.
A middle course might, perhaps, be more intellectually salubrious, because more simple and natural: and foremost herself, if she may be judged by analogy, foremost herself, had stood this lovely Esther, in amalgamating66 the two systems in her own studies and pursuits, had they equally, at that time, been within the scope of her consciousness: for straight-forward as was her design in all that she deemed right, whatever was presented to even a glimpse of her perceptions that was new and ingenious, rapidly opened to her lively understanding a fresh avenue to something curious, useful, or amusing, that she felt herself irresistibly67 invited to explore.
Botany, then, was no familiar accomplishment38; but flowers and plants she cultivated with assiduous
[Pg 66]
care; sowing, planting, pruning68, grafting69, and rearing them, to all the purposes of sight and scent70 that belong to their fragrant71 enjoyment72; though untutored in their nomenclature, and unlearned in their classification.
Astronomy, though beyond her grasp as a science, she passionately73 caught at in its elementary visibility, loving it for its intrinsic glory, and enamoured of it yet more fondly from her own favourite idea, that the soul of the righteous, upon the decease of the body, may be wafted74 to realms of light, and permitted thence to look down, as guardian75 angel, on those most precious to it left behind.
Yet so strict was her sense of duty, that she never suffered this vivid imagination to put it out of its bias76; and the clearness of her judgment regulated so scrupulously77 the disposition78 of her hours, that, without neglecting any real devoir, she made leisure, by skilful79 arrangements and quickness of execution, for nearly every favourite object that hit her fancy; holding almost as sacred the employment of her spare moments, as most others hold the fulfilment of their stated occupations.
And, indeed, so only could she, thus self-taught by self-investigation, study, and labour, have risen to those various excellences80 that struck all who
[Pg 67]
saw, and impressed all who knew her, with admiration mingled with wonder.
Critical was the first instant of meeting between two young persons thus similarly self-modelled, and thus singularly demonstrating, that Education, with all her rules, her skill, her experienced knowledge, and her warning wisdom, may so be supplied, be superseded81, by Genius, when allied82 to Industry, as to raise beings who merit to be pointed out as examples, even to those who have not a difficulty to combat, who are spurred by encouragement, and instructed by able teachers; to all which advantages young Burney and Esther—though as far removed from distress83 as from affluence—were equally strangers.
Who shall be surprised that two such beings, thus opening into life and distinction through intellectual vigour84, and thus instinctively85 sustaining unaided conflicts against the darkness of ignorance, the intricacies of new doctrines86, and all the annoying obstructions88 of early prejudices,—who shall be surprised, that two such beings, where, on one side, there was so much beauty to attract, and on the other so much discernment to perceive the value of her votary89, upon meeting each other
[Pg 68]
at the susceptible90 age of ardent91 youth, should have emitted, spontaneously, and at first sight, from heart to heart, sparks so bright and pure that they might be called electric, save that their flame was exempt92 from any shock?
Young Burney at this time had no power to sue for the hand, though he had still less to forbear suing for the heart, of this fair creature: not only he had no fortune to lay at her feet, no home to which he could take her, no prosperity which he could invite her to share; another barrier, which seemed to him still more formidable, stood imperviously93 in his way—his peculiar18 position with Mr. Greville.
That gentleman, in freeing the subject of these memoirs94 from his engagements with Dr. Arne, meant to act with as much kindness as munificence95; for, casting aside all ostentatious parade, he had shown himself as desirous to gain, as to become, a friend. Yet was there no reason to suppose he purposed to rear a vine, of which he would not touch the grapes.
To be liberal, suited at once the real good taste of his character, and his opinion of what was due to his rank in life; and in procuring96 to himself the double pleasure of the society and the talents of
[Pg 69]
young Burney, he thought his largess to Dr. Arne well bestowed98; but it escaped his reflections, that the youth whom he made his companion in London, at Wilbury House, at Newmarket, and at Bath, in quitting the regular pursuit of his destined99 profession, risked forfeiting100 the most certain guarantee to prosperity in business, progressive perseverance101.
Nevertheless, those drawbacks to this splendid connection occurred not at its beginning, nor yet for many a day after, to the young votary of Apollo. The flattering brilliancy of the change, and the sort of romance that hung upon its origin, kept aloof102 all calculations of its relative mischiefs103; which only distantly to have contemplated104, in the sparkling novelty that mingled such gay pleasure with his gratitude105, would have appeared to him ungenerous, if not sordid106. Youth is rarely enlightened by foresight107 upon prudential prospects109; and the mental optic of young Burney was not quickened to this perception, till the desire of independence to his fortune was excited by the loss of it to his heart; for never had he missed his liberty, till he sighed to make it a fresh sacrifice to a more lasting110 bondage111.
It was then he first felt the torment112 of uncertain situation; it was then he appreciated the high male
[Pg 70]
value of self-dependence; it was then he first conceived, that, though gaiety may be found, and followed, and met, and enjoyed abroad, not there, but at home, is happiness! Yet, from the moment a bosom113 whisper softly murmured to him the name of Esther, he had no difficulty to believe in the distinct existence of happiness from pleasure; and—still less to devise where—for him—it must be sought.
When he made known to his fair enslaver his singular position, and entreated114 her counsel to disentangle him from a net, of which, till now, the soft texture115 had impeded116 all discernment of the confinement117, the early wisdom with which she preached to him patience and forbearance, rather diminished than augmented118 his power of practising either, by an increase of admiration that doubled the eagerness of his passion.
Nevertheless, he was fain to comply with her counsel, though less from acquiescence119 than from helplessness how to devise stronger measures, while under this nameless species of obligation to Mr. Greville, which he could not satisfy his delicacy120 in breaking; nor yet, in adhering to, justify121 his sense of his own rights.
He could consent, however, to be passive only
[Pg 71]
while awaiting some happy turn for propitiating122 his efforts to escape from the sumptuous123 scenes, which, with his heart away from them, he now looked upon as obscuring, not illuminating124, his existence; since they promoted not the means of arriving at all he began to hold worth pursuit, “Home, sweet home!” which he now severely125 saw could be reached only by regular assiduity in his profession.
From this time it was with difficulty he could assume spirit sufficient for sustaining his intercourse126, hitherto so happy, so lively, with the Grevilles; not alone from the sufferings of absence, but from hard secret conflicts, whether or not to reveal his distress. Mr. Greville, who, a short time back would quickly have discerned his latent uneasiness, was now so occupied by his own new happiness, conjugal127 and paternal128, that though he welcomed young Burney with unabated kindness, his own thoughts, and his observations, were all centered in his two Fannys.
During the first fair breathings of early wedded129 love, the scoff130 of the tender passion, the sneer131 against romance, the contempt of refined reciprocations of sentiment, are done away, even from the most sarcastic132, by a newly imbibed133 consciousness of the felicity of virtuous134 tenderness; which were its
[Pg 72]
permanence more frequently equal to its enjoyment, would irresistibly convert the scorn of its deriders into envy. But constancy in affection from long dissipated characters, must always, whether in friendship or in love, be as rare as it is right; for constancy requires virtue to be leagued with the passions.
Unmarked, therefore, young Burney kept to himself his unhappiness; though he was not now impeded from communication by fears of the raillery with which, previously135 to his marriage, Mr. Greville would have held up to mockery a tale of love in a cottage, as a proper pendant to a tale of love in bedlam136. But still he was withheld137 from all genial138 confidence, by apprehensions139 of remonstrances140 which he now considered as mercenary, if not derogatory, against imprudent connexions; and of representations of his own claims to higher views; which he now, from his belief that his incomparable choice would out-balance in excellence all vain attempts at competition, deemed profane141 if not insane.
Mrs. Greville, having no clew to his secret feelings, was not aware of their disturbance142; she might else easily, and she would willingly, have drawn forth his confidence, from the kindly143 disposition that subsisted144, on both sides, to trust and to friendship.
[Pg 73]
But a discovery the most painful of the perturbed145 state of his mind, was soon afterwards impelled45 by a change of affairs in the Grevilles, which they believed would enchant26 him with pleasure; but which they found, to their unspeakable astonishment146, overpowered him with affliction.
This was no other than a plan of going abroad for some years, and of including him in their party.
Concealment147 was instantly at an end. The sudden dismay of his ingenuous148 countenance149, though it told not the cause, betrayed past recall his repugnance150 to the scheme.
With parts so lively, powers of observation so ready, and a spirit so delighting in whatever was uncommon151 and curious, they had expected that such a prospect108 of visiting new countries, surveying new scenes, mingling with new characters; and traversing the foreign world, under their auspices152, in all its splendour, would have raised in him a buoyant transport, exhilarating to behold153. But the sudden paleness that overspread his face; his downcast eye; the quiver of his lips; and the unintelligible154 stammer155 of his vainly attempted reply, excited interrogatories so anxious and so vehement156, that they soon induced an avowal157 that a secret
[Pg 74]
power had gotten possession of his mind, and sturdily exiled from it all ambition, curiosity, or pleasure, that came not in the form of an offering to its all-absorbing shrine158.
Every objection and admonition which he had anticipated, were immediately brought forward by this confession159; but they were presented with a lenity that showed his advisers160 to be fully161 capable of conceiving, though persuaded that they ought to oppose, his feelings.
Disconcerted, as well as dejected, because dissatisfied as well as unhappy in his situation, from mental incertitudes what were its real calls; and whether or not the ties of interest and obligation were here of sufficient strength to demand the sacrifice of those of love; he attempted not to vindicate162, unreflectingly, his wishes; and still less did he permit himself to treat them as his intentions. With faint smiles, therefore, but stifled163 sighs, he heard, with civil attention, their opinions; though, determined164 not to involve himself in any embarrassing conditions, he would risk no reply; and soon afterwards, curbing165 his emotion, he started abruptly166 another subject.
“They thought him wise, and followed as he led.”
[Pg 75]
All the anguish167, however, that was here suppressed, found vent168 with redoubled force at the feet of the fair partner in his disappointment; who, while unaffectedly sharing it, resolutely169 declined receiving clandestinely170 his hand, though tenderly she clung to his heart. She would listen to no project that might lead him to relinquish171 such solid friends, at the very moment that they were preparing to give him the strongest proof of their fondness for his society, and of their zeal172 in his benefit and improvement.
Young Burney was not the less unhappy at this decision from being sensible of its justice, since his judgment could not but thank her, in secret, for pronouncing the hard dictates173 of his own.
All that he now solicited174 was her picture, that he might wear her resemblance next his heart, till that heart should beat to its responsive original.
With this request she gracefully175 complied; and she sat for him to Spencer, one of the most famous miniature painters of that day.
Of striking likeness176 was this performance, of which the head and unornamented hair were executed with the most chaste177 simplicity178; and young Burney reaped from this possession all that had power to afford him
[Pg 76]
consolation179; since he now could soften180 off the pangs181 of separation, by gliding182 from company, public places or assemblages, to commune by himself with the countenance of all he held most dear.
Thus solaced183, he resigned himself with more courage to his approaching misfortune.
The Grevilles, it is probable, from seeing him apparently184 revived, imagined that, awakened186 from his flights of fancy, he was recovering his senses: but when, from this idea, they started, with light raillery, the tender subject, they found their utter mistake. The most distant hint of abandoning such excellence, save for the moment, and from the moment’s necessity, nearly convulsed him with inward disturbance; and so changed his whole appearance, that, concerned as well as amazed, they were themselves glad to hasten from so piercing a topic.
Too much moved, however, to regain187 his equilibrium188, he could not be drawn from a disturbed taciturnity, till shame, conquering his agitation189, enabled him to call back his self-command. He forced, then, a laugh at his own emotion; but, presently afterwards seized with an irresistible190 desire of shewing what he thought its vindication191, he took
[Pg 77]
from his bosom the cherished miniature, and placed it, fearfully, almost awfully192, upon a table.
It was instantly and eagerly snatched from hand to hand by the gay couple; and young Burney had the unspeakable relief of perceiving that this impulsive193 trial was successful. With expansive smiles they examined and discussed the charm of the complexion, the beauty of the features, and the sensibility and sweetness conveyed by their expression: and what was then the joy, the pride of heart, the soul’s delight of the subject of these memoirs, when those fastidious judges, and superior self-possessors of personal attractions, voluntarily and generously united in avowing194 that they could no longer wonder at his captivation.
As a statue he stood fixed195 before them; a smiling one, indeed; a happy one; but as breathless, as speechless, as motionless.
Mr. Greville then, with a laugh, exclaimed, “But why, Burney, why don’t you marry her?”
Whether this were uttered sportively, inadvertently, or seriously, young Burney took neither time nor reflection to weigh; but, starting forward with ingenuous transport, called out, “May I?”
No negative could immediately follow an interrogatory
[Pg 78]
that had thus been invited; and to have pronounced one in another minute would have been too late; for the enraptured196 and ardent young lover, hastily construing197 a short pause into an affirmative, blithely198 left them to the enjoyment of their palpable amusement at his precipitancy; and flew, with extatic celerity, to proclaim himself liberated199 from all mundane200 shackles201, to her with whom he thought eternal bondage would be a state celestial202.
From this period, to that of their exquisitely203 happy union,
“Gallopp’d apace the fiery204-footed steeds,”
that urged on Time with as much gay delight as prancing205 rapidity; for if they had not, in their matrimonial preparations, the luxuries of wealth, neither had they its fatiguing206 ceremonies; if they had not the security of future advantage, they avoided the torment of present procrastination207; and if they had but little to bestow97 upon one another, they were saved, at least, the impatiency of waiting for the seals, signatures, and etiquettes of lawyers, to bind208 down a lucrative209 prosperity to survivorship.
To the mother of the bride, alone of her family, was confided210, on the instant, this spontaneous, this
[Pg 79]
sudden felicity. Little formality was requisite211, before the passing of the marriage act, for presenting at the hymeneal altar its destined votaries212; and contracts the most sacred could be rendered indissoluble almost at the very moment of their projection213: a strange dearth214 of foresight in those legislators who could so little weigh the chances of a minor’s judgment upon what, eventually, may either suit his taste or form his happiness, for the larger portion of existence that commonly follows his majority.
This mother of the bride was of a nature so free from stain, so elementally white, that it would scarcely seem an hyperbole to denominate her an angel upon earth—if purity of mind that breathed to late old age the innocence215 of infancy216, and sustained the whole intervening period in the constant practice of self-sacrificing virtue, with piety217 for its sole stimulus218, and holy hope for its sole reward, can make pardonable the hazard of such an anticipating appellation,—from which, however, she, her humble219 self, would have shrunk as from sacrilege.
She was originally of French extraction, from a family of the name of Dubois; but though her father was one of the conscientious220 victims of the Edict of Nantz, she, from some unknown cause—
[Pg 80]
probably of maternal education—had been brought up a Roman Catholic. The inborn221 religion of her mind, however, counteracted222 all that was hostile to her fellow-creatures, in the doctrine87 of the religion of her ancestors; and her gentle hopes and fervent223 prayers were offered up as devoutly224 for those whom she feared were wrong, as they were vented225 enthusiastically for those whom she was bred to believe were right.
Her bridal daughter, who had been educated a Protestant, and who to that faith adhered steadily226 and piously227 through life, loved her with that devoted228 love which could not but emanate229 from sympathy of excellence. She was the first pride of her mother,—or, rather, the first delight; for pride, under any form, or through any avenue, direct or collateral230, by which that subtle passion works or swells231 its way to the human breast, her mother knew not; though she was endued232 with an innate233 sense of dignity that seemed to exhale234 around her a sentiment of reverence that, notwithstanding her genuine and invariable humility235, guarded her from every species and every approach of disrespect.
She could not but be gratified by an alliance so productive, rather than promising236, of happiness to
[Pg 81]
her favourite child; and Mr. Burney—as the married man must now be called—soon imbibed the filial veneration237 felt by his wife, and loved his mother-in-law as sincerely as if she had been his mother-in-blood.
All plan of going abroad was now, of course, at an end; and the Grevilles, and their beautiful infant daughter, leaving behind them Benedict the married man, set out, a family trio, upon their tour.
The customary compliments of introduction on one hand, and of congratulation on the other, passed, in their usual forms upon such occasions, between the bridegroom and his own family.
Rarely can the highest zest238 of pleasure awaken185, in its most active votary, a sprightliness239 of pursuit more gay or more spirited, than Mr. Burney now experienced and exhibited in the commonly grave and sober career of business, from the ardour of his desire to obtain self-dependence.
He worked not, indeed, with the fiery excitement of expectation; his reward was already in his hands; but from the nobler impulse he worked of meriting his fair lot; while she, his stimulus, deemed her
[Pg 82]
own the highest prize from that matrimonial wheel whence issue bliss1 or bane to the remnant life of a sensitive female.
