REPOSE1 is not more welcome to the worn and to the aged2, to the sick and to the unhappy, than danger, difficulty, and toil3 to the young and adventurous4. Danger they encounter but as the forerunner5 of success; difficulty, as the spur of ingenuity6; and toil, as the herald7 of honour. The experience which teaches the lesson of truth, and the blessings9 of tranquillity10, comes not in the shape of warning nor of wisdom; from such they turn aside, defying or disbelieving. ’Tis in the bitterness of personal proof alone, in suffering and in feeling, in erring11 and in repenting12, that experience comes home with conviction, or impresses to any use.
In the bosom13 of her respectable family resided Camilla. Nature, with a bounty14 the most profuse15, had been lavish16 to her of attractions; Fortune, with a moderation yet kinder, had placed her between luxury and indigence17. Her abode18 was in the parsonage-house of Etherington, beautifully situated19 in the unequal county of Hampshire, and in the vicinity of the varied20 landscapes of the New Forest. Her father, the rector, was the younger son of the house of Tyrold. The living, though not considerable, enabled its incumbent21 to attain22 every rational object of his modest and circumscribed23 wishes; to bestow24 upon a deserving wife whatever her own forbearance declined not; and to educate a lovely race of one son and three daughters, with that expansive propriety25, which unites improvement for the future with present enjoyment26.
In goodness of heart, and in principles of piety27, this exemplary couple was bound to each other by the most perfect unison28 of character, though in their tempers there was a contrast which had scarce the gradation of a single shade to smooth off its abrupt29 dissimilitude. Mr. Tyrold, gentle with wisdom, and benign30 in virtue31, saw with compassion32 all imperfections but his own, and there doubled the severity which to others he spared. Yet the mildness that urged him to pity blinded him not to approve; his equity33 was unerring, though his judgment34 was indulgent. His partner had a firmness of mind which nothing could shake: calamity35 found her resolute36; even prosperity was powerless to lull37 her duties asleep. The exalted38 character of her husband was the pride of her existence, and the source of her happiness. He was not merely her standard of excellence40, but of endurance, since her sense of his worth was the criterion for her opinion of all others. This instigated41 a spirit of comparison, which is almost always uncandid, and which here could rarely escape proving injurious. Such, at its very best, is the unskilfulness of our fallible nature, that even the noble principle which impels42 our love of right, misleads us but into new deviations43, when its ambition presumes to point at perfection. In this instance, however, distinctness of disposition45 stifled46 not reciprocity of affection-that magnetic concentration of all marriage felicity;–Mr. Tyrold revered47 while he softened49 the rigid50 virtues51 of his wife, who adored while she fortified52 the melting humanity of her husband.
Thus, in an interchange of happiness the most deserved, and of parental53 occupations the most promising54, passed the first married years of this blest and blessing8 pair. An event then came to pass extremely interesting at the moment, and yet more important in its consequences. This was the receipt of a letter from the elder brother of Mr. Tyrold, containing information that he meant to remove into Hampshire.
Sir Hugh Tyrold was a baronet, who resided upon the hereditary55 estate of the family in Yorkshire. He was many years older than Mr. Tyrold, who had never seen him since his marriage; religious duties, prudence56, and domestic affairs having from that period detained him at his benefice; while a passion for field sports had, with equal constancy, kept his brother stationary57.
The baronet began his letter with kind enquiries after the welfare of Mr. Tyrold and his family, and then entered upon the state of his own affairs, briefly58 narrating59, that he had lost his health, and, not knowing what to do with himself, had resolved to change his habitation, and settle near his relations. The Cleves’ estate, which he heard was just by Etherington, being then upon sale, he desired his brother to make the purchase for him out of hand; and then to prepare Mrs. Tyrold, with whom he was yet unacquainted, though he took it for granted she was a woman of great learning, to receive a mere39 poor country squire60, who knew no more of hic, haec, hoc, than the baby unborn. He begged him to provide a proper apartment for their niece Indiana Lynmere, whom he should bring with him, and another for their nephew Clermont, who was to follow at the next holidays; and not to forget Mrs. Margland, Indiana’s governess, she being rather the most particular in point of pleasing amongst them.
Mr. Tyrold, extremely gratified by this unexpected renewal61 of fraternal intercourse62, wrote the warmest thanks to his brother, and executed the commission with the utmost alacrity63. A noble mansion64, with an extensive pleasure-ground, scarce four miles distant from the parsonage-house of Etherington, was bought, fitted up, and made ready for his reception in the course of a few months. The baronet, impatient to take possession of his new territory, arrived speedily after, with his niece Indiana, and was welcomed at the gate of the park by Mr. Tyrold and his whole family.
Sir Hugh Tyrold inherited from his ancestors an unincumbered estate of 5000 pounds per annum; which he enjoyed with ease and affluence65 to himself, and disseminated66 with a good will so generous, that he appeared to think his personal prosperity, and that of all who surrounded him, bestowed67 but to be shared in common, rather from general right, than through his own dispensing68 bounty. His temper was unalterably sweet, and every thought of his breast was laid open to the world with an almost infantine artlessness. But his talents bore no proportion to the goodness of his heart, an insuperable want of quickness, and of application in his early days, having left him, at a later period, wholly uncultivated, and singularly self-formed.
A dearth69 of all sedentary resources became, when his youth passed away, his own constant reproach. Health failed him in the meridian70 of his life, from the consequences of a wound in his side, occasioned by a fall from his horse; exercise, therefore, and active diversions, were of necessity relinquished71, and as these had hitherto occupied all his time, except that portion which he delighted to devote to hospitality and neighbourly offices, now equally beyond his strength, he found himself at once deprived of all employment, and destitute72 of all comfort. Nor did any plan occur to him to solace73 his misfortunes, till he accidentally read in the newspapers that the Cleves’ estate was upon sale.
Indiana, the niece who accompanied him, a beautiful little girl, was the orphan74 daughter of a deceased sister, who, at the death of her parents, had, with Clermont, an only brother, been left to the guardianship75 of Sir Hugh; with the charge of a small estate for the son of scarce 200 pounds a-year, and the sum of 1000 pounds for the fortune of the daughter.
The meeting was a source of tender pleasure to Mr. Tyrold; and gave birth in his young family to that eager joy which is so naturally attached, by our happiest early prejudices, to the first sight of near relations. Mrs. Tyrold received Sir Hugh with the complacency due to the brother of her husband; who now rose higher than ever in her estimation, from a fraternal comparison to the unavoidable disadvantage of the baronet; though she was not insensible to the fair future prospects77 of her children, which seemed the probable result of his change of abode.
Sir Hugh himself, notwithstanding his best affections were all opened by the sight of so many claimants to their kindness, was the only dejected person of the group.
Though too good in his nature for envy, a severe self-upbraiding followed his view of the happiness of his brother; he regretted he had not married at the same age, that he might have owned as fine a family, and repined against the unfortunate privileges of his birth-right, which, by indulging him in his first youth with whatever he could covet78, drove from his attention that modest foresight79 which prepares for later years the consolation80 they are sure to require.
By degrees, however, the satisfaction spread around him found some place in his own breast, and he acknowledged himself sensibly revived by so endearing a reception; though he candidly81 avowed82, that if he had not been at a loss what to do, he should never have had a thought of taking so long a journey. ‘But the not having made,’ cried he, ‘the proper proficiency84 in my youth for the filling up my time, has put me quite behind-hand.’
He caressed85 all the children with great fondness, and was much struck with the beauty of his three nieces, particularly with that of Camilla, Mr. Tyrold’s second daughter; ‘yet she is not,’ he cried, ‘so pretty as her little sister Eugenia, nor much better than t’other sister Lavinia; and not one of the three is half so great a beauty as my little Indiana; so I can’t well make out what it is that’s so catching86 in her; but there’s something in her little mouth that quite wins me; though she looks as if she was half laughing at me too: which can’t very well be, neither; for I suppose, as yet, at least, she knows no more of books and studying than her uncle. And that’s little enough, God knows, for I never took to them in proper season; which I have been sorry enough for, upon coming to discretion87.’
Then addressing himself to the boy, he exhorted88 him to work hard while yet in his youth, and related sundry89 anecdotes90 of the industry and merit of his father when at the same age, though left quite to himself, as, to his great misfortune, he had been also, ‘which brought about,’ he continued, ‘my being this present ignoramus that you see me; which would not have happened, if my good forefathers91 had been pleased to keep a sharper look out upon my education.’
Lionel, the little boy, casting a comic glance at Camilla, begged to know what his uncle meant by a sharper look out?
‘Mean, my dear? why correction, to be sure; for all that, they tell me, is to be done by the rod; so there, at least, I might have stood as good a chance as my neighbours.’
‘And pray, uncle,’ cried Lionel, pursing up his mouth to hide his laughter, ‘did you always like the thoughts of it so well?’
‘Why no, my dear, I can’t pretend to that; at your age I had no more taste for it than you have: but there’s a proper season for every thing. However, though I tell you this for a warning, perhaps you may do without it; for, by what I hear, the rising generation’s got to a much greater pitch since my time.’
He then added, he must advise him, as a friend, to be upon his guard, as his Cousin, Clermont Lynmere, who was coming home from Eton school next Christmas for the holidays, would turn out the very mirror of scholarship; for he had given directions to have him study both night and day, except what might be taken off for eating and sleeping: ‘Because,’ he continued, ‘having proved the bad of knowing nothing in my own case, I have the more right to intermeddle with others. And he will thank me enough when once he has got over his classics. And I hope, my dear little boy, you see it in the same light too; which, however, is what I can’t expect.’
The house was now examined; the fair little Indiana took possession of her apartment; Miss Margland was satisfied with the attention that had been paid her; and Sir Hugh was rejoiced to find a room for Clermont that had no window but a skylight, by which means his studies, he observed, would receive no interruption from gaping92 and staring about him. And, when the night advanced, Mr. Tyrold had the happiness of leaving him with some prospect76 of recovering his spirits.
The revival93, however, lasted but during the novelty of the scene; depression returned with the feelings of ill health; and the happier lot of his brother, though born to almost nothing, filled him with incessent repentance94 of his own mismanagement.
In some measure to atone95 for this, he resolved to collect himself a family in his own house: and the young Camilla, whose dawning archness of expression had instinctively96 caught him, he now demanded of her parents, to come and reside with him and Indiana at Cleves; ‘for certainly,’ he said, ‘for such a young little thing, she looks full of amusement.’
Mrs. Tyrold objected against reposing97 a trust so precious where its value could so ill be appreciated. Camilla was, in secret, the fondest hope of her mother, though the rigour of her justice scarce permitted the partiality to beat even in her own breast. Nor did the happy little person need the avowed distinction. The tide of youthful glee flowed jocund98 from her heart, and the transparency of her fine blue veins99 almost shewed the velocity100 of its current. Every look was a smile, every step was a spring, every thought was a hope, every feeling was joy! and the early felicity of her mind was without allay101. O blissful state of innocence102, purity, and delight, why must it fleet so fast? why scarcely but by retrospection is its happiness known?
Mr. Tyrold, while his tenderest hopes encircled the same object, saw the proposal in a fairer light, from the love he bore to his brother. It seemed certain such a residence would secure her an ample fortune; the governess to whom Indiana was entrusted103 would take care of his little girl; though removed from the hourly instructions, she would still be within reach of the general superintendance of her mother, into whose power he cast the uncontrolled liberty to reclaim104 her, if there started any occasion. His children had no provision ascertained105, should his life be too short to fulfil his own personal schemes of economy in their favour: and while to an argument so incontrovertible Mrs. Tyrold was silent, he begged her also to reflect, that, persuasive106 as were the attractions of elegance107 and refinement108, no just parental expectations could be essentially109 disappointed, where the great moral lessons were practically inculcated, by a uniform view of goodness of heart, and firmness of principle. These his brother possessed110 in an eminent111 degree; and if his character had nothing more from which their daughter could derive112 benefit, it undoubtedly113 had not a point from which she could receive injury.
Mrs. Tyrold now yielded; she never resisted a remonstrance114 of her husband; and as her sense of duty impelled115 her also never to murmur116, she retired117 to her own room, to conceal118 with how ill a grace she complied.
Had this lady been united to a man whom she despised, she would yet have obeyed him, and as scrupulously119, though not as happily, as she obeyed her honoured partner. She considered the vow83 taken at the altar to her husband, as a voluntary vestal would have held one taken to her Maker120; and no dissent121 in opinion exculpated122, in her mind, the least deviation44 from his will.
But here, where an admiration123 almost adoring was fixt of the character to which she submitted, she was sure to applaud the motives124 which swayed him, however little their consequences met her sentiments: and even where the contrariety was wholly repugnant to her judgment, the genuine warmth of her just affection made every compliance125, and every forbearance, not merely exempt126 from pain, but if to him any satisfaction, a sacrifice soothing127 to her heart.
Mr. Tyrold, whose whole soul was deeply affected128 by her excellencies, gratefully felt his power, and religiously studied not to abuse it: he respected what he owed to her conscience, he tenderly returned what he was indebted to her affection. To render her virtues conducive129 to her happiness, to soften48 her duties by the highest sense of their merit, were the first and most sacred objects of his solicitude130 in life.
When the lively and lovely little girl, mingling131 the tears of separation with all the childish rapture132 which novelty, to a much later period inspires, was preparing to change her home, ‘Remember,’ cried Mr. Tyrold, to her anxious mother, ‘that on you, my Georgiana, devolves the sole charge, the unlimited133 judgment, to again bring her under this roof, the first moment she appears to you in any danger from having quitted it.’
The prompt and thankful acceptance of Mrs. Tyrold did justice to the sincerity134 of this offer: and the cheerful acquiescence135 of lessened136 reluctance137, raised her higher in that esteem138 to which her constant mind invariably looked up, as the summit of her chosen ambition.
