THIS expected guest arrived early. Camilla received her with the only sensation of pleasure she had experienced at Tunbridge. Yet what she excited seemed still stronger: the fair stranger besought1 her friendship as a solace2 to her existence, and hung upon her as upon a treasure long lost, and dearly recovered. Camilla soon caught the infection of her softness, and felt a similar desire to cultivate her regard. She found her beauty attractive, her voice melodious3, and her manners bewitchingly caressing4.
Fearing, nevertheless, while yet in ignorance of her connexions, to provoke further ridicule5 from Mrs. Arlbery by going abroad with her, she proposed deferring6 to return her visit till another day: the lady consented, and they spent together two hours, which each thought had been but two minutes, when Mrs. Arlbery summoned Camilla to a walk.
The fair unknown then took leave, saying her servant was in waiting; and Camilla and Mrs. Arlbery went to the bookseller’s .
Here, that lady was soon joined by Lord O’Lerney and General Kinsale, who were warm admirers of her vivacity7 and observations. Mr. Dennel took up the Daily Advertiser; his daughter stationed herself at the door to see the walkers upon the Pantiles; Sir Theophilus Jarard, under colour of looking at a popular pamphlet, was indulging in a nap in a corner; Lord Newford, noticing nothing, except his own figure as he past a mirrour, was shuffling8 loud about the floor, which was not much embellished9 by the scraping of his boots; and Sir Sedley Clarendel, lounging upon a chair in the middle of the shop, sat eating bon bons.
Mrs. Arlbery, for some time, confined her talents to general remarks: but finding these failed to move a muscle in the face of Sir Sedley, at whom they were directed, she suddenly exclaimed: ‘Pray, lady, my Lord O’Lerney,do you know any thing of Sir Sedley Clarendel?’
‘Not so much,’ answered his Lordship, ‘as I could wish; but I hope to improve my acquaintance with him.’
‘Why then, my lord, I am much afraid you will conclude, when you see him in one of those reveries, from the total vacancy11 of his air, that he is thinking of nothing. But pray permit me to take his part. Those apparent cogitations, to which he is so much addicted12, are moments only of pretended torpor13, but of real torment14, devoted15, not as they appear, to supine insipidity16, but to painful secret labour how next he may call himself into notice. Nevertheless, my lord, don’t let what I have said hurt him in your opinion; he is quaint10, to be sure, but there’s no harm in him. He lives in my neighbourhood; and, I assure your lordship, he is, upon the whole, what may be called a very good sort of man.’
Here she yawned violently; and Sir Sedley, unable to maintain his position, twice crossed his legs, and then arose and took up a book: while Lord Newford burst into so loud a laugh, that he awakened17 Sir Theophilus Jarard, by echoing, ‘A good sort of man! O poor Clary!... O hang it!... O curse it!... poor Clary!’
‘What’s the matter with Clary?’ cried Sir Theophilus, rubbing his eyes; ‘I have been boring myself with this pamphlet, till I hardly know whether I am awake or asleep.’
‘Why, he’s a good sort of man!’ replied Lord Newford.
Sir Sedley, though he expected, and even hoped for some pointed18 strictures, and could have defied even abuse, could not stand this mortifying19 praise; and, asking for the subscription20 books, which, already, he had twice examined, said: ‘Is there any body here one knows?’
‘O, ay, have you any names?’ cried Lord Newford, seizing them first; and with some right, as they were the only books in the shop he ever read.
‘Come, I’ll be generous,’ said Mrs. Arlbery, ‘and add another signature against your lordship’s next lecture.’
She then wrote her name, and threw down half-a-guinea. Camilla, to whom the book was next presented, concluded this the established custom, and, from mere21 timidity, did the same; though somewhat disturbed to leave herself no more gold than she gave. Miss Dennel followed; but her father, who said he did not come to Tunbridge to read, which he could do at home, positively22 refused to subscribe23.
Sir Theophilus now, turning, or rather, tossing over the leaves, cried: ‘I see no name here one knows any thing of, but Lady Alithea Selmore.’
‘Why, there’s nobody else here,’ said Lord Newford, ‘not a soul!’
Almost every body present bowed; but wholly indifferent to reproof24, he again whistled, again stroamed up and down the room, and again took a bold and full survey of himself in the looking-glass.
‘On the contrary,’ cried Sir Sedley, ‘I hear there is a most extraordinary fine creature lately arrived, who is invincible25 to a degree.’
‘O that’s Mrs. Berlinton;’ said Sir Theophilus; ‘yes, she’s a pretty little thing.’
‘She’s very beautiful indeed,’ said Lord O’Lerney.
‘Where can one see her?’ cried Mrs. Arlbery.
‘If she is not at the Rooms to-night,’ said Sir Sedley, ‘I shall be stupified to petrifaction26. They tell me she is a marvel27 of the first water; turning all heads by her beauty, winning all hearts by her sweetness, fascinating all attention by her talents, and setting all fashions by her elegance28.’
‘This paragon,’ cried Mrs. Arlbery, to Camilla, ‘can be no other than your mysterious fair. The description just suits your own.’
‘But my fair mysterious,’ said Camilla, ‘is of a disposition29 the most retired30, and seems so young, I don’t at all think her married.’
‘This divinity,’ said Sir Sedley, ‘for the blessing31 of everyone, yet
Lord of Himself, uncumber’d by a Wife, [Dryden]
is safely noosed32; and amongst her attributes are two others cruel to desperation; she excited every hope by a sposo properly detestable-yet gives birth to despair, by a coldness the most shivering.’
‘And what,’ said Mrs. Arlbery, ‘is this Lady Alithea Selmore?’
‘Lady Alithea Selmore,’ drily, but with a smile, answered General Kinsale.
‘Nay33, nay, that’s not to be mentioned irreverently,’ returned Mrs. Arlbery; ‘a title goes for a vast deal, where there is nothing else; and, where there is something, doubles its value.’
Mr. Dennel, saying he found, by the newspaper, a house was to be sold upon Mount Ephraim, which promised to be a pretty good bargain, proposed walking thither34, to examine what sort of condition it was in.
Lord O’Lerney inquired if Camilla had yet seen Mount Ephraim. No, she answered; and a general party was made for an airing. Sir Sedley ordered his phaeton; Mrs. Arlbery drove Camilla in her’s ; Miss Dennel walked with her father; and the rest of the gentlemen went on horseback.
* * *
Arrived at Mount Ephraim, they all agreed to alight, and enjoy the view and pure air of the hill, while Mr. Dennel visited the house. But, just as Mrs. Arlbery had descended35 from the phaeton, her horses, taking fright at some object that suddenly struck them, reared up, in a manner alarming to the spectators, and still more terrific to Camilla, in whose hands Mrs. Arlbery had left the reins36: and the servant, who stood at the horses’ heads, received a kick that laid him flat on the ground.
‘O, jump out! jump out!’ cried Miss Dennel, ‘or else you’ll be murdered!’
‘No! no! keep your seat, and hold the reins!’ cried Mrs. Arlbery: ‘For heaven’s sake, don’t jump out–’
Camilla, mentally giddy, but personally courageous37, was sufficiently38 mistress of herself to obey the last injunction, though with infinite labour, difficulty, and terror, the horses plunging39 and flouncing incessantly40.
‘Don’t you think she’ll be killed?’ cried Lord Newford, dismounting, lest his own horse should also take fright.
‘Do you think one could help her?’ said Sir Theophilus Jarard, steadily41 holding the bridle42 of his mare43 from the same apprehension44.
Lord O’Lerney was already on foot to afford her assistance, when the horses, suddenly turning round, gave to the beholders the dreadful menace of going down the steep declivity45 of Mount Ephraim full gallop46.
Camilla now, appalled47, had no longer power to hold the reins; she let them go, with an idea of flinging herself out of the carriage, when Sir Sedley, who had darted48 like lightning from his phaeton, presented himself at the horses’ heads, on the moment of their turning, and, at the visible and imminent49 hazard of his life, happily stopt them while she jumped to the ground. They then, with a fury that presently dashed the phaeton to pieces, plunged50 down the hill.
The fright of Camilla had not robbed her of her senses, and the exertion51 and humanity of Sir Sedley seemed to restore to him the full possession of his own: yet one of his knees was so much hurt, that he sunk upon the grass.
Penetrated52 with surprise, as well as gratitude53, Camilla, notwithstanding her own tremor54, was the first to make the most anxious inquiries55: secretly, however, sighing to herself: Ah! had Edgar thus rescued me! yet struck equally with a sense of obligation and of danger, from the horrible, if not fatal mischief56 she had escaped, and from the extraordinary hazard and kindness by which she had been saved, she expressed her concern and acknowledgments with a softness, that even Sir Sedley himself could not listen to unmoved.
He received, indeed, from this adventure, almost every species of pleasure of which his mind was capable. His natural courage, which he had nearly annihilated57, as well as forgotten, by the effeminate part he was systematically58 playing, seemed to rejoice in being again exercised; his good nature was delighted by the essential service he had performed; his vanity was gratified by the publicity59 of the praise it brought forth60; and his heart itself experienced something like an original feeling, unspoilt by the apathy61 of satiety62, from the sensibility he had awakened in the young and lovely Camilla.
The party immediately flocked around him, and he was conveyed to a house belonging to Lord O’Lerney, who resided upon Mount Ephraim, and his lordship’s carriage was ordered to take him to his apartment at the hotel.
Mrs. Arlbery, whose high spirits were totally subdued63 by the terror with which she had been seized at the danger of Camilla, was so delighted by her rescue, and the courage with which it was effected, that all her spleen against Sir Sedley was changed into the warmest approbation64. When he was put into the coach, she insisted upon seeing him safe to the hotel; Camilla, with her usual inartificial quickness, seconding the motion, and Lord O’Lerney, a nobleman far more distinguished65 by benevolence66 and urbanity than by his rank, taking the fourth place himself. The servant, who was considerably67 hurt, he desired might remain at his house.
In descending68 Mount Ephraim, Camilla turned giddy with the view of what she had escaped, and cast her eyes with doubled thankfulness upon Sir Sedley as her preserver. Fragments of the phaeton were strewed69 upon the road; one of the horses dead at the bottom of the hill; and the other was so much injured as to be totally disabled for future service.
When they came to the hotel, they all alighted with the young baronet, Camilla with as little thought, as Mrs. Arlbery with little care for doing any thing that was unusual. They waited in an adjoining apartment till they were assured nothing of any consequence was the matter, and Lord O’Lerney then carried them to their new lodging70 upon Mount Pleasant.
Mrs. Arlbery bore her own share in this accident with perfect good-humour, saying it would do her infinite good, by making her a rigid71 oeconomist; for she could neither live without a phaeton, nor yet build one, and buy ponies72, but by parsimonious73 savings74 from all other expenses.
* * *
At night they went again to the Rooms. But Mrs. Arlbery found in them as little amusement as Camilla. Sir Sedley was not there, either to attack or to flatter; the celebrated75 Mrs. Berlinton still appeared not to undergo a scrutiny76; and Lady Alithea Selmore sat at the upper end of the apartment, attended by all the beaux, except the General, now at Tunbridge.
This was not to be supported. She arose, and declaring she would take her tea with the invalid77, bid the General escort her to his room.
In their way out, she perceived the assembly books. Recollecting78 she had not subscribed79, she entered her name, but protested she could afford but half-a-guinea, upon her present new and avaricious80 plan.
Camilla, with much secret consternation81, concluded it impossible to give less; and a few shillings were now all that remained in her purse. Her uneasiness, however, presently passed away, upon recollecting she should want no more money, as she was now free of the rooms, and of the library, and equipped in attire82 for the whole time she should stay.
Miss Dennel put down a guinea; but her father, telling her half-a-crown would have done, said, for that reason, he should himself pay nothing.
Sir Sedley received them with the most unaffected pleasure: forced upon solitude83, and by no means free from pain, he had found no resource but in reading, which of late had been his least occupation, except the mere politics of the day. Even reflection had discovered its way to him, though a long banished84 guest, which had quitted her post, to make room for affectation, vanity, and every species of frivolity85. Reduced, however, to be reasonable, even by this short confinement86, he now felt the obligation of their charitable visit, and set his foppery and conceit87 apart, from a desire to entertain them. Camilla had not conceived he had the power of being so pleasantly natural; and the strong feeling of gratitude in her ever warm heart made her contribute what she was able to the cheerfulness of the evening.
Some time after, General Kinsale was called out, and presently returned with Major Cerwood, just arrived from the regiment88; who, with some apology to Sir Sedley, hoped he might be pardoned for the liberty he took, upon hearing who was at the hotel, of preferring such society to the Rooms.
As the Major had nothing in him either brilliant or offensive, his sight, after the first salutations, was almost all of which the company was sensible.
Camilla, his sole object, he could not approach; she sat between the baronet and Mrs. Arlbery; and all her looks and all her attention were divided between them.
Mrs. Arlbery, emerging from the mortifications of neglect, which she had experienced, almost for the first time in her life, at the Rooms, was unusually alive and entertaining; Sir Sedley kept pace with her, and the discourse89 was so whimsical, that Camilla, amused, and willing to encourage a sensation so natural to her, after a sadness till now, for so long a time unremitting, once more heard and welcomed the sound of her own laughter.
It was instantly, however, and strangely checked; a sigh, so deep that it might rather be called a groan90, made its way through the wainscot of the next apartment.
Much raillery followed the sight of her changed countenance91; the hotel was pronounced to be haunted, and by a ghost reduced to that plight92 from her cruelty. But the good-humour and gaiety of the conversation soon brought her again to its tone; and time passed with general hilarity93, till they observed that Miss Dennel, who, having no young female to talk with of her own views and affairs, was thoroughly94 tired, had fallen fast asleep upon her chair.
Her father was already gone home to a hot supper, which he had ordered in his own room, and meant to eat before their return; Mrs. Arlbery, to his great discomfort95, allowing nothing to appear at night but fruit or oysters96.
They now took leave, Mrs. Arlbery conducted by the General, and Camilla by the Major; while Miss Dennel, unassisted and half asleep, stumbled, screamed, and fell, just before she reached the staircase.
The General was first to aid her; the Major, not choosing to quit Camilla; who, looking round at a light which came from the room whence the sigh they had heard had issued, perceived, as it glared in her eyes, it was held by Edgar.
Astonishment97, pleasure, hope, and shame, took alternate rapid possession of her mind; but the last sensation was the first that visibly operated, and she snatched her hand involuntarily from the Major.
Mrs. Arlbery exclaimed, ‘Bless me, Mr. Mandlebert! are you the ghost we heard sighing in that room yonder?’
Mandlebert attempted to make some slight answer; but his voice refused all sound.
She went on, then, to the carriage of Mr. Dennel, followed by her young ladies, and drove off for Mount Pleasant.
