THE last words of Dr. Marchmont, in taking leave of Edgar, were injunctions to circumspection1, and representations of the difficulty of drawing back with honour, if once any incautious eagerness betrayed his partiality. To this counsel he was impelled2 to submit, lest he should risk for Camilla a report similar to that which for Indiana had given him so much disturbance3. There, indeed, he felt himself wholly blameless. His admiration4 was but such as he always experienced at sight of a beautiful picture, nor had it ever been demonstrated in any more serious manner. He had distinguished5 her by no particular attention, singled her out by no pointed6 address, taken no pains to engage her good opinion, and manifested no flattering pleasure at her approach or presence.
His sense of right was too just to mislead him into giving himself similar absolution with respect to Camilla. He had never, indeed, indulged a voluntary vent7 to his preference; but the candour of his character convinced him that what so forcibly he had felt, he must occasionally have betrayed. Yet the idea excited regret without remorse8; for though it had been his wish, as well as intention, to conceal9 his best hopes, till they were ratified10 by his judgment11, he had the conscious integrity of knowing that, should her heart become his prize, his dearest view in life would be to solicit12 her hand.
To preserve, therefore, the appearance of an undesigning friend of the house, he had forced himself to refrain, for two days, from any visit to the rectory, whither he was repairing, when thus, unlooked and unwished for, he surprized Camilla at the Grove13.
Disappointed and disapproving14 feelings kept him, while there, aloof15 from her; by continual suggestions, that her character was of no stability, that Dr. Marchmont was right in his doubts, and Miss Margland herself not wrong in accusing her of caprice; and when he perceived, upon her preparing to walk home with her brother and sister, that Major Cerwood stept forward to attend her, he indignantly resolved to arrange without delay his continental16 excursion. But again, when, as she quitted the room, he saw her head half turned round, with an eye of enquiry if he followed, he determined17 frankly18, and at once, in his capacity of a friend, to request some explanation of this meeting.
The assiduities of the Major made it difficult to speak to her; but the aid of her desire for a conversation, which was equally anxious, and less guarded then his own, anticipated his principal investigation19, by urging her, voluntarily to seize an opportunity of relating to him the history of her first visit to Mrs. Arlbery; and of assuring him that the second was indispensably its consequence.
Softened20 by this apparent earnestness for his good opinion, all his interest and all his tenderness for her returned; and though much chagrined21 at the accident, or rather mischief22, which had thus established the acquaintance, he had too little to say, whatever he had to feel, of positive weight against it, to propose its now being relinquished23. He thanked her impressively for so ready an explanation; and then gently added; ‘I know your predilection24 in favour of this lady, and I will say nothing to disturb it; but as she is yet new to you, and as all residence, all intercourse25, from your own home or relations, is new to you also-tell me, candidly26, sincerely tell me, can you condescend27 to suffer an old friend, though in the person of but a young man, to offer you, from time to time, a hint, a little counsel, a few brief words of occasional advice? and even, perhaps, now and then, to torment28 you into a little serious reflection?’
‘If you,’ cried she, gaily29, ‘will give me the reflection, I promise, to the best of my power, to give you in return, the seriousness; but I can by no means engage for both!’
‘O, never, but from your own prudence,’ he answered, gratefully, ‘may your delightful30 vivacity31 know a curb32! If now I seem myself to fear it, it is not from moroseness33, it is not from insensibility to its charm–’
He was stopt here by Macdersey, who, suddenly overtaking him, entreated34 an immediate35 short conference upon a matter of moment.
Though cruelly vexed36 by the interruption, he could not refuse to turn back with him; and Camilla again was left wholly to the gallant37 Major; but her heart felt so light that she had thus cleared herself to Edgar, so gratified by his request to become himself her monitor, and so enchanted38 to find her acquaintance with Mrs. Arlbery no longer disputed, that she was too happy to admit any vexation; and the Major had never thought her so charming, though of the Major she thought not one moment.
Macdersey, with a long, ceremonious, and not very clear apology, confessed he had called Mandlebert aside only to enquire39 into the certain truth, if it were not a positive secret, of his intended nuptials40 with the beautiful Miss Lynmere. Mandlebert, with surprize, but without any hesitation41, declared himself wholly without any pretensions42 to that lady. Macdersey then embraced him, and they parted mutually satisfied.
It seemed now too late to Mandlebert to go to Etherington till the next day, whither, as soon as he had breakfasted, he then rode.
According to his general custom, he went immediately to the study, where he met with a calm, but kind reception from Mr. Tyrold; and after half an hour’s conversation, upon Lisbon, Dr. Marchmont, and Mrs. Tyrold, he left him to seek his young friends.
In the parlour, he found Lavinia alone; but before he could enquire for her sister, who was accidentally up stairs, Lionel, just dismounted from his horse, appeared.
‘O, ho, Edgar!’ cried he, ‘you are here, are you? this would make fine confusion, if that beauty of nature, Miss Margland, should happen to call. They’ve just sent for you to Beech43 Park. I don’t know what’s to be done to you; but if you have an inclination44 to save poor Camilla’s eyes, or cap, at least, from that meek45, tender creature, you’ll set off for Cleves before they know you are in this house.’
Edgar amazed, desired an explanation; but he protested the wrath46 of Miss Margland had been so comical, and given him so much diversion, that he had not been able to get at any particulars; he only knew there was a great commotion47, and that Edgar was declared in love with some of his sisters or cousins, and Miss Margland was in a rage that it was not with herself; and that, in short, because he only happened to drop a hint of the latter notion, that delectable48 paragon49 had given him so violent a blow with her fine eyes, that in order to vent an ungovernable fit of laughter, without the risk of having the house pulled about his ears, he had hastily mounted his horse, and galloped50 off.
The contempt of Edgar for Miss Margland would have made him disdain51 another question, if the name of Camilla had not been mingled52 in this relation; no question, however, could procure53 further information. Lionel, enchanted that he had tormented54 Miss Margland, understood nothing more of the matter, and could only repeat his own merry sayings, and their effect.
Lavinia expressed, most innocently, her curiosity to know what this meant; and was going for Camilla, to assist in some conjecture55; but Edgar, who by this strange story had lost his composure, felt unequal to hearing it discussed in her presence, and, pleading sudden haste, rode away.
He did not, however, go to Cleves; he hardly knew if Lionel had not amused him with a feigned56 story; but he no sooner arrived at Beech Park, then he found a message from Sir Hugh, begging to see him with all speed.
The young Ensign was the cause of this present summons and disturbance. Elated by the declaration of Mandlebert, that the rumour57 of his contract was void of foundation, and buoyed58 up by Mrs. Arlbery, to whom he returned with the communication, he resolved to make his advances in form. He presented himself, therefore, at Cleves, where he asked an audience of Sir Hugh, and at once, with his accustomed vehemence59, declared himself bound eternally, life and soul, to his fair niece, Miss Lynmere; and desired that, in order to pay his addresses to her, he might be permitted to see her at odd times, when he was off duty.
Sir Hugh was scarce able to understand him, from his volubility, and the extravagance of his phrases and gestures; but he imputed60 them to his violent passion, and therefore answered him with great gentleness, assuring him he did not mean to doubt his being a proper alliance for his niece, though he had never heard of him before; but begging he would not be affronted61 if he could not accept him, not knowing yet quite clearly if she were not engaged to a young gentleman in the neighbourhood.
The Ensign now loudly proclaimed his own news: Mandlebert had protested himself free, and the whole county already rang with the mistake.
Sir Hugh, who always at a loss how to say no, thought this would have been a good answer, now sent for Miss Margland, and desired her to speak herself with the young gentleman.
Miss Margland, much gratified, asked Macdersey if she could look at his rent roll.
He had nothing of the kind at hand, he said, not being yet come to his estate, which was in Ireland, and was still the property of a first cousin, who was not yet dead.
Miss Margland, promising62 he should have an answer in a few days, then dismissed him; but more irritated than ever against Mandlebert, from the contrast of his power to make settlements, she burst forth63 into her old declarations of his ill usage of Miss Lynmere; attributing it wholly to the contrivances of Camilla, whom she had herself, she said, surprized wheedling64 Edgar into her snares65, when she called last at Etherington; and who, she doubted not, they should soon hear was going to be married to him.
Sir Hugh always understood literally66 whatever was said; these assertions therefore of ill humour, merely made to vent black bile affected67 him deeply for the honour and welfare of Camilla, and he hastily sent a messenger for Edgar, determining to beg, if that were the case, he would openly own the whole, and not leave all the blame to fall all upon his poor niece.
At this period, Lionel had called, and, by inflaming68 Miss Margland, had aggravated69 the general disturbance.
When Edgar arrived, Sir Hugh told him of the affair, assuring him he should never have taken amiss his preferring Camilla, which he thought but natural, if he had only done it from the first.
Edgar, though easily through all this he saw the malignant70 yet shallow offices of Miss Margland, found himself, with infinite vexation, compelled to declare off equally from both the charges; conscious, that till the very moment of his proposals, he must appear to have no preference nor designs. He spoke71, therefore, with the utmost respect of the young ladies, but again said it was uncertain if he should not travel before he formed any establishment.
The business thus explicitly72 decided73, nothing more could be done: but Miss Margland was somewhat appeased74, when she heard that her pupil was not so disgracefully to be supplanted75.
Indiana herself, to whom Edgar had never seemed agreeable, soon forgot she had ever thought of him; and elated by the acquisition of a new lover, doubted not, but, in a short time, the publication of her liberty would prove slavery to all mankind.
Early the next morning, the carriage of Sir Hugh arrived at the rectory for Camilla. She never refused an invitation from her uncle, but she felt so little equal to passing a whole day in the presence of Miss Margland, after the unaccountable, yet alarming relation she had gathered from Lionel, that she entreated him to accompany her, and to manage that she should return with him as soon as the horses were fed and rested.
Lionel, ever good humoured, and ready to oblige, willingly complied; but demanded that she should go with him, in their way back, to see a new house which he wanted to examine.
Sir Hugh received her with his usual affection, Indiana with indifference76, and Miss Margland with a malicious77 smile: but Eugenia, soon taking her aside, disclosed to her that Edgar, the day before, had publicly and openly disclaimed78 any views upon Indiana, and had declared himself without any passion whatever, and free from all inclination or intention but to travel.
The blush of pleasure, with which Camilla heard the first sentence of this speech, became the tingle79 of shame at the second, and whitened into surprise and sorrow at the last.
Eugenia, though she saw some disturbance, understood not these changes. Early absorbed in the study of literature and languages, under the direction of a preceptor who had never mingled with the world, her capacity had been occupied in constant work for her memory; but her judgment and penetration80 had been wholly unexercised. Like her uncle, she concluded every body, and every thing to be precisely81 what they appeared; and though, in that given point of view, she had keener intellects to discern, and more skill to appreciate persons and characters, she was as unpractised as himself in those discriminative82 powers, which dive into their own conceptions to discover the latent springs, the multifarious and contradictory83 sources of human actions and propensities84.
Upon their return to the company, Miss Margland chose to relate the history herself. Mr. Mandlebert, she said, had not only thought proper to acknowledge his utter insensibility to Miss Lynmere, but had declared his indifference for every woman under the sun, and protested he held them all cheap alike. ‘So I would advise nobody,’ she continued, ‘to flatter themselves with making a conquest of him, for they may take my word for it, he won’t be caught very easily.’
Camilla disdained85 to understand this but in a general sense, and made no answer. Indiana, pouting86 her lip, said she was sure she did not want to catch him: she did not fear having offers enough without him, if she should happen to chuse to marry.
‘Certainly,’ said Miss Margland, ‘there’s no doubt of that; and this young officer’s coming the very moment he heard of your being at liberty, is a proof that the only reason of your having had no more proposals, is owing to Mr. Mandlebert. So I don’t speak for you, but for any body else, that may suppose they may please the difficult gentleman better.’
Camilla now breathed hard with resentment87; but still was silent, and Indiana, answering only for herself, said: ‘O, yes! I can’t say I’m much frightened. I dare say if Mr. Melmond had known,... but he thought like everybody else... however, I’m sure, I’m very glad of it, only I wish he had spoke a little sooner, for I suppose Mr. Melmond thinks me as much out of his reach as if I was married. Not that I care about it; only it’s provoking.’
‘No, my dear,’ said Miss Margland, ‘it would be quite below your dignity to think about him, without knowing better who he is, or what are his expectations and connexions. As to this young officer, I shall take proper care to make enquiries, before he has his answer. He belongs to a very good family; for he’s related to Lord O’Lerney, and I have friends in Ireland who can acquaint me with his situation and fortune. There’s time enough to look about you; only as Mr. Mandlebert has behaved so unhandsomely, I hope none of the family will give him their countenance88. I am sure it will be to no purpose, if any body should think of doing it by way of having any design upon him. It will be lost labour, I can tell them.’
‘As to that, I am quite easy,’ said Indiana, tossing her head, ‘any body is welcome to him for me;-my cousin, or any body else.’
Camilla, now, absolutely called upon to speak, with all the spirit she could assume, said, ‘With regard to me, there is no occasion to remind me how much I am out of the question; yet suffer me to say, respect for myself would secure me from forming such plans as you surmise89, if no other sense of propriety90 could save me from such humiliation91.’
‘Now, my dear, you speak properly,’ said Miss Margland, taking her hand; ‘and I hope you will have the spirit to shew him you care no more for him than he cares for you.’
‘I hope so too,’ answered Camilla, turning pale; ‘but I don’t suppose–I can’t imagine-that it is very likely he should have mentioned anything good or bad-with regard to his care for me?’
This was painfully uttered, but from a curiosity irrepressible.
‘As to that, my dear, don’t deceive yourself; for the question was put home to him very properly, that you might know what you had to expect, and not keep off other engagements from a false notion.’
‘This indeed,’ said Camilla, colouring with indignation, ‘this has been a most useless, a most causeless enquiry!’
‘I am very glad you treat the matter as it deserves, for I like to see young ladies behave with dignity.’
‘And pray, then, what-was there any-did he make-was there any-any answer-to this-to–’
‘O, yes, he answered without any great ceremony, I can assure you! He said, in so many words, that he thought no more of you than of our cousin, and was going abroad to divert and amuse himself, better than by entering into marriage, with either one or other of you; or with any body else.’
Camilla felt half killed by this answer; and presently quitting the room, ran out into the garden, and to a walk far from the house, before she had power to breathe, or recollection to be aware of the sensibility she was betraying.
She then as hastily went back, secretly resolving never more to think of him, and to shew both to himself and to the world, by every means in her power, her perfect indifference.
She could not, however, endure to encounter Miss Margland again, but called for Lionel, and begged him to hurry the coachman.
Lionel complied-she took a hasty leave of her uncle, and only saying, ‘Good by, good by!’ to the rest, made her escape.
Sir Hugh, ever unsuspicious, thought her merely afraid to detain her brother; but Eugenia, calm, affectionate, and divested92 of cares for herself, saw evidently that something was wrong, though she divined not what, and entreated leave to go with her sister to Etherington, and thence return, without keeping out the horses.
Sir Hugh was well pleased, and the two sisters and Lionel set off together.
