THE calm sadness with which Camilla had opened her letter was soon broken in upon by the interest of its contents, the view it displayed of her duties, her shame at her recent failures, and her fears for their future execution; and yet more than all, by the full decision in which it seemed written, that the unhappy partiality she had exposed, had been always, and would for ever remain unreturned.
She started at the intimation how near she stood to detection even from Edgar himself, and pride, reason, modesty2, all arose to strengthen her with resolution, to guard every future conflict from his observation.
The article concerning fortune touched her to the quick. Nothing appeared to her so degrading as the most distant idea that such a circumstance could have any force with her. But the justice done to Edgar she gloried in, as an apology for her feelings, and exculpatory3 of her weakness. Her tears flowed fast at every expression of kindness to herself, her burning blushes dried them up as they were falling, at every hint of her feebleness, and the hopelessness of its cause; but wholly subdued4 by the last paragraph, which with reverence5 she pressed to her lips, she offered up, the most solemn vows6 of a strict and entire observance of every injunction which the letter contained.
She was thus employed, unnoticing the passage of time, when Mrs. Arlbery tapped at her door, and asked if she wished to dine in her own room.
Surprised at the question, and ashamed to be thus seen, she was beginning a thousand apologies for not being yet dressed: but Mrs. Arlbery, interrupting her, said, ‘I never listen to excuses. ’Tis the only battery that overpowers me. If, by any mischance, and in an evil hour, some country cousin, not knowing my ways, or some antediluvian7 prig, not minding them, happen to fall upon me with formal speeches, where I can make no escape, a fit of yawning takes me immediately, and I am demolished8 for the rest of the day.’
Camilla, attempting to smile, promised to play the country cousin no more. Mrs. Arlbery then observed she had been weeping; and taking her hand, with an examining look, ‘My lovely young friend,’ she cried, ‘this will never do!’
‘What, ma’am?... how?... what?..’
‘Nay9, nay, don’t be frightened. Come down to dinner, and we’ll talk over the hows? and the whats? afterwards. Never mind your dress; we go no where this evening; and I make a point not to suffer any body to change their attire10 in my house, merely because the afternoon is taking place of the morning. It seems to me a miserable12 compliment to the mistress of a mansion13, to see her guests only equip themselves for the table. For my part, I deem the garb14 that is good enough for me, good enough for my geese and turkies... apple and oyster-sauce included.’
Camilla then followed her down stairs, where she found no company but Sir Sedley Clarendel.
‘Come, my dear Miss Tyrold,’ said Mrs. Arlbery, ‘you and I may now consider ourselves as tête-à-tête; Sir Sedley won’t be much in our way. He hears and sees nothing but himself.’
‘Ecstatically flattering that!’ cried Sir Sedley; ‘dulcet to every nerve!’
‘O, I know you listen just now, because you are yourself my theme. But the moment I take another, you will forget we are either of us in the room.’
‘Inhuman to the quick!’ cried he; ‘barbarous to a point!’
‘This is a creature so strange, Miss Tyrold,’ said Mrs. Arlbery, ‘that I must positively15 initiate16 you a little into his character;-or, rather, into its own caricature; for as to character, he has had none intelligible17 these three years.–See but how he smiles at the very prospect18 of being portrayed19, in defiance20 of all his efforts to look unconcerned! yet he knows I shall shew him no mercy. But, like all other egotists, the only thing to really disconcert him, would be to take no notice of him. Make him but the first subject of discourse21, and praise or abuse are pretty much the same to him.’
‘O shocking! shocking! killing22 past resuscitation23! Abominably24 horrid25, I protest!’
‘O I have not begun yet. This is an observation to suit thousands. But do not fear; you shall have all your appropriations26. Miss Tyrold, you are to be auditor27 and judge: and I will save you the time and the trouble which decyphering this animal, so truly a non-descript, might cost you.’
‘What a tremendous exordium! distressing28 to a degree! I am agued with trepidation29!’
‘O you wretch30! you know you are enchanted31. But no further interruption! I send you to Coventry for the next ten minutes.
‘This man, my dear Miss Tyrold, whom we are about to delineate, was meant by nature, and prepared by art, for some thing greatly superior to what he now appears: but, unhappily, he had neither solidity of judgment32, nor humility33 of disposition34, for bearing meekly35 the early advantages with which he set out in life; a fine person, fine parts, and a fine estate, all dashed into consciousness at the presuming age of one and twenty. By this aggregate36 of wealthy, of mental, and of personal prosperity, he has become at once self spoilt, and world spoilt. Had you known him, as I have done, before he was seized with this systematic37 affectation, which, I am satisfied, causes him more study than the united pedants39 of both universities could inflict40 upon him, you would have seen the most delightful41 creature breathing! a creature combining, in one animated42 composition, the very essences of spirit, of gaiety, and of intelligence. But now, with every thing within his reach, nothing seems worth his attainment43. He has not sufficient energy to make use of his own powers. He has no one to command him, and he is too indolent to command himself. He has therefore turned fop from mere11 wantonness of time and of talents; from having nothing to do, no one to care for, and no one to please. Take from him half his wit, and by lessening44 his presumption45, you will cure him of all his folly46. Rob him of his fortune, and by forcing him into exertion47, you will make him one of the first men of his day. Deface and maim48 his features and figure, and by letting him see that to appear and be admired is not the same thing, you will render him irresistible49.’
‘Have you done?’ cried the baronet smiling.
‘I protest,’ said Mrs. Arlbery, ‘I believe you are a little touched! And I don’t at all want to reform you. A perfect character only lulls50 me to sleep.’
‘Obliging in the superlative! I must then take as a consolation51, that I have never given you a nap?’
‘Never, Clarendel, I assure you; and yet I don’t hate you! Vice52 is detestable; I banish53 all its appearances from my coteries54; and I would banish its reality, too, were I sure I should then have any thing but empty chairs in my drawing-room-but foibles make all the charm of society. They are the only support of convivial55 raillery, and domestic wit. If formerly56, therefore, you more excited my admiration57, it is now, believe me, you contribute most to my entertainment.’
‘Condoling to a phenomenon! I have really, then, the vastly prodigious58 honour to be exalted59 in your fair graces to the level of a mountebank60? a quack61 doctor? his merry Andrew? or any other such respectable buffoon62?’
‘Piqued63! piqued! I declare! this exceeds my highest ambition. But I must not weaken the impression by dwelling64 upon it.’
She then asked Camilla if she had any message for Cleves, as one of her servants was going close to the park gate.
Camilla, glad to withdraw, said she would write a few words to her father, and retired65 for that purpose.
* * *
‘What in the world, my dear Clarendel,’ said Mrs. Arlbery, ‘can I do with this poor thing? She has lost all her sprightliness66, and vapours me but to look at her. She has all the symptoms upon her of being in the full meridian67 of that common girlish disease, an hopeless passion.’
‘Poor little tender dove!’ cried the baronet. “Twould be odious68 to cure her. Unfeeling to excess. What in nature can be half so mellifluously69 interesting? I shall now look at her with most prodigious softness. Ought one not to sigh as she approaches?’
‘The matter to be sure is silly enough,’ answered Mrs. Arlbery; ‘but, this nonsense apart, she is a charming girl. Besides, I perceive I am a violent favourite with her; and flattery, my dear Clarendel, will work its way, even with me! I really owe her a good turn: Else I should no longer endure her; for the tender passion has terribly flattened70 her. If we can’t restore her spirits, she will be a mere dead weight to me.’
‘O a very crush! a cannon71 ball would be a butterfly in the comparison! But who is the irresistible? What form has the little blind traitor72 assumed?’
‘O, assure yourself, that of the first young man who has come in her sight. Every damsel, as she enters the world, has some picture ready painted upon her imagination, of an object worthy73 to enslave her: and before any experience forms her judgment, or any comparison her taste, she is the dupe of the first youth who presents himself to her, in the firm persuasion74 of her ductile75 fancy, that he is just the model it had previously76 created.’
She then added, she had little doubt but young Mandlebert was the hero, from their private conferences after the raffle77, and from her blushes when forced to name him.
‘Nay, nay, this is not the first incongruity78!’ said the young baronet, ‘not romantic to outrage79. Beech80 Park has nothing very horrific in it. Nothing invincibly81 beyond the standard of a young lady’s philosophy.’
‘Depend upon it, that’s the very idea its master has conceived of the matter himself. You wealthy Cavaliers rarely want flappers to remind you of your advantages. That Mandlebert, you must know is my aversion. He has just that air and reputation of faultlessness that gives me the spleen. I hope, for her sake, he won’t think of her; he will lead her a terrible life. A man who piques82 himself upon his perfections, finds no mode so convenient and ready for displaying them, as proving all about him to be constantly in the wrong. However, a character of that stamp rarely marries; especially if he is rich, and has no obstacles in his way. What can I do, then, for this poor thing? The very nature of her malady83 is to make her entertain false hopes. I am quite bent84 upon curing them. The only difficulty, according to custom, is how. I wish you would take her in hand yourself.’
‘I?... preposterous85 in the extreme! what particle of chance should I have against Mandlebert?’
‘O you vain wretch! to be sure you don’t know, that though he is rich, you are richer? and, doubtless, you never took notice, that though he is handsome, you are handsomer? As to manners, there is little to choose between you, for he is as much too correct, as you are too fantastic. In conversation, too, you are nearly upon a par1, for he is as regularly too right, as you are ridiculously too wrong,-but O the charm of dear amusing wrong, over dull commanding right! you have but to address yourself to her with a little flattering distinction, and Mandlebert ever after will appear to her a pedant38.’
‘What a wicked sort of sprite is a female wit!’ cried Sir Sedley, ‘breathing only in mischief86! a very will-o’-the-wisp, personified and petticoated, shining but to lead astray. Dangerous past all fathom87! Have the goodness, however, my fair Jack-o’-lanthorn, to intimate what you mean I should do with this languishing88 dulcinea, should I deliver her from thraldom89? You don’t advise me, I presume, to take unto myself a wife? I protest I am shivered to the utmost point north at the bare suggestion! frozen to an icicle!’
‘No no; I know you far too confirmed an egotist for any thing but an old bachelor. Nor is there the least necessity to yoke90 the poor child to the conjugal91 plough so early. The only sacrifice I demand from you is a little attention; the only good I aim at for her, is to open her eyes, which have now a film before them, and to let her see that Mandlebert has no other pre-eminence, than that of having been the first young man with whom she became acquainted. Never imagine I want her to fall in love with you. Heaven help the poor victim to such a complication of caprice!’
‘Nay, now I am full south again! burning with shame and choler! How you navigate92 my sensations from cold to heat at pleasure! Cooke was a mere river water-man to you. My blood chills or boils at your command. Every sentence is a new climate. You waft93 me from extreme to extreme, with a rapidity absolutely dizzying. A balloon is a broad-wheeled wagon94 to you.’
‘Come, come, jargon95 apart, will you make yourself of any use? The cure of a romantic first flame is a better surety to subsequent discretion96, than all the exhortations97 of all the fathers, and mothers, and guardians98, and maiden99 aunts in the universe. Save her now, and you serve her for life;-besides giving me a prodigious pleasure in robbing that frigid100 Mandlebert of such a conquest.’
‘Unhappy young swain! I pity him to immensity. How has he fallen thus under the rigour of your wrath101? Do you banish him your favour, like another Aristides, to relieve your ear from hearing him called the Just?’
‘Was ever allusion102 so impertinent? or, what is worse, for aught I can determine, so true? for, certainly, he has given me no offence; yet I feel I should be enchanted to humble103 him. Don’t be concerned for him, however; you may assure yourself he hates me. There is a certain spring in our propensities104 to one another, that involuntarily opens and shuts in almost exact harmony, whether of approbation105 or antipathy106. Except, indeed, in the one article of love, which, distinguishing nothing, is ready to grasp at any thing.’
‘But why have you not recourse to the gallant107 cockade?’
‘The Major? O, I have observed, already, she receives his devoirs without emotion; which, for a girl who has seen nothing of the world, is respectable enough, his red coat considered. Whether the man has any meaning himself, or whether he knows there is such a thing, I cannot tell: but as I do not wish to see her surrounded with brats109, while a mere brat108 herself, it is not worth inquiry110. You are the thing, Clarendel, the very thing! You are just agreeable enough to annul111 her puerile112 fascination113, yet not interesting enough to involve her in any new danger.’
‘Flattering past imitability! divine Arlberiana!’
‘Girls, in general,’ continued she, ‘are insupportable nuisances to women. If you do not set them to prate114 about their admirers, or their admired, they die of weariness;-if you do, the weariness reverberates115 upon yourself.’
Camilla here returned. She had written a few lines to Eugenia, to enforce her reliance upon Edgar, with an earnest request to be sent for immediately, if any new difficulty occurred. And she had addressed a few warmly grateful words to her father, engaging to follow his every injunction with her best ability.
Sir Sedley now rung for his carriage; and Camilla, for the rest of the evening, exerted herself to receive more cheerfully the kind civilities of her lively hostess.
