THE Visit of the Westwyns to Sir Hugh shewed Lavinia in so favourable1 a light, that nothing less than the strong prepossession already conceived for Camilla could have guarded the heart of the son, or the wishes of the father, from the complete captivation of her modest beauty, her intrinsic worth, and the chearful alacrity2, and virtuous3 self-denial, with which she presided in the new oeconomy of the rectory. But though the utter demolition4 of hope played with Henry its usual part of demolishing5, also, half the fervour of admiration6, he still felt, in consequence of his late failure, a distaste of any similar attempt: and Mr. Westwyn, unbribed by the high praise of his son, which had won him in Camilla, left him master of his choice. Each, however, found a delight in the Tyrold society, that seconded the wishes of the Baronet to make them lengthen7 their visit.
The retrenchments, by which the debts of Clermont were to be paid, could no longer, nevertheless, be deferred9; and Mr. Tyrold was just setting out for Cleves, to give his counsel for their arrangement, when his daughters were broken in upon by Mrs. Mittin.
Camilla could scarcely look at her, for displeasure at her conduct; but soon observed she seemed herself full of resentment10 and ill humour. She desired a private interview; and Camilla then found, that Mrs. Arlbery had not only represented her fault, and frightened her with its consequences, but occasioned, though most undesignedly, new disturbances12 and new dangers to herself: for Mrs. Mittin at length learnt, in this conference, with equal certainty, surprise, and provocation13, that the inheritance of Sir Hugh was positively14 and entirely15 settled upon his youngest niece; and that the denials of all expectation on the part of Camilla, which she had always taken for closeness, conveyed but the simple truth. Alarmed lest she should incur16 the anger of Mr. Clykes, who was amongst her most useful friends, she had written him word of the discovery, with her concern at the mistake: and Mr. Clykes, judging now he had no chance of the gratuity17 finally promised for honour and secrecy18, and even that his principal was in danger, had sent an enraged19 answer, with an imperious declaration, that he must either immediately be repaid all he had laid out, or receive some security for its being refunded20, of higher value than the note of a minor21 of no fortune nor expectations.
Mrs. Mittin protested she did not know which way to turn, she was so sorry to have disobliged so good a friend; and broke forth22 into a vehement23 invective24 against Mr. Dubster, for pretending he knew the truth from young Squire25 Tyrold himself.
Long as was her lamentation26, and satisfied as she always felt to hear her own voice, her pause still came too soon for any reply from Camilla, who now felt the discovery of her situation to be inevitable27, compulsatory and disgraceful. Self-upbraidings that she had ever listened to such an expedient28, assailed29 her with the cruellest poignancy30, mingling31 almost self-detestation with utter despair.
In vain Mrs. Mittin pressed for some satisfaction; she was mute from inability to devise any; till the coachman of Mr. Lissin sent word he could wait no longer. She then, in a broken voice, said, ‘Be so good as to write to Mr. Clykes, that if he will have the patience to wait a few days, I will prepare my friends to settle my accounts with him.’
Mrs. Mittin then, recovering from her own fright in this business, answered, ‘O, if that’s the case, my dear young lady, pray don’t be uneasy, for it grieves me to vex32 you; and I’ll promise you I’ll coax33 my good friend to wait such a matter as that; for he’s a vast regard for me; he’ll do any thing I ask him, I know.’
She now went away; and Lavinia, who ran to her sister, found her in a state of distress34, that melted her gentle heart to behold35: but when she gathered what had passed, ‘This disclosure, my dearest Camilla,’ she cried, ‘can never be so tremendous as the incessant36 fear of its discovery. Think of that, I conjure37 you! and endeavour to bear the one great shock, that will lead to after peace and case.’
‘No, my dear sister, peace and ease are no more for me!–My happiness was already buried;-and now, all that remained of consolation38 will be cut off also, in the lost good opinion of my father and mother!-that destroyed-and Edgar gone-what is life to me?–I barely exist!’
‘And is it possible you can even a moment doubt their forgiveness? dear as you are to them, cherished, beloved!–’
‘No-not their forgiveness-but their esteem39, their confidence, their pleasure in their daughter will all end!-think, Lavinia, of my mother!-when she finds I, too, have contributed to the distress and disturbance11 of my father-that on my account, too, his small income is again straitened, his few gratifications are diminished–O Lavinia! how has she strove to guard her poor tottering40 girl from evil! And how has her fondness been always the pride of my life! What a conclusion is this to her cares! what a reward to all the goodness of my father!’
In this state of desperate wretchedness, she was still incapable41 to make the avowal42 which was now become indispensable, and which must require another loan from the store her father held so sacred, Lavinia had even less courage; and they determined44 to apply to Eugenia, who, though as softly feeling as either, mingled45 in her character a sort of heroic philosophy, that enabled her to execute and to endure the hardest tasks, where she thought them the demand of virtue46. They resolved, therefore, the next morning, to send a note to Cleves for the carriage, and to commit the affair to this inexperienced and youthful female sage47.
Far from running, as she was wont48, to meet her father upon his entrance, Camilla was twice sent for before she could gain strength to appear in his presence; nor could his utmost kindness enable her to look up.
The heart of Mr. Tyrold was penetrated49 by her avoidance, and yet more sunk by her sight. His best hopes were all defeated of affording her parental50 comfort, and he was still to seek for her revival51 or support.
He related what had passed at Cleves, with the accustomed openness with which he conversed52 with his children as his friends. Clermont, he said, was arrived, and had authenticated53 all the accounts, with so little of either shame or sense, that a character less determined upon indulgence than that of Sir Hugh, must have revolted from affording him succour, if merely to mortify54 him into repentance55. The manner of making payment, however, had been the difficult discussion of the whole day. Sir Hugh was unequal to performing any thing, though ready to consent to every thing. When he proposed the sale of several of his numerous horses, he objected, that what remained would be hard worked: when he mentioned diminishing his table, he was afraid the poor would take it ill, as they were used to have his orts: and when he talked of discharging some of his servants, he was sure they would think it very unkind. ‘His heart,’ continued Mr. Tyrold, ‘is so bountiful, and so full of kindness, that he pleads his tender feelings, and regretting wishes, against the sound reason of hard necessity. What is right, however, must only in itself seek what is pleasant; and there, when it ceases to look more abroad, it is sure to find it.’
He stopt, hearing a deep sigh from Camilla, who secretly ejaculated a prayer that this sentence might live, henceforward, in her memory. He divined the wish, which devoutly56 he echoed, and continued:
‘There is so little, in fine, that he could bear to relinquish57, that, with my utmost efforts, I could not calculate any retrenchment8, to which he will agree, at more than an hundred a year. Yet his scruples58 concerning his vow43 resist all the entreaties59 of our disinterested60 Eugenia, to either sell out for the sum, or cut down any trees in Yorkshire. These difficulties, too potent61 for his weak frame, were again sinking him into that despondence which we should all sedulously63 guard against, as the most prevailing64 of foes65 to active virtue, when, to relieve him, I made a proposal which my dear girls will both, I trust, find peculiar66 pleasure in seconding.’
Camilla had already attempted to raise her drooping68 head, conscience struck at what was said of despondence; and now endeavoured to join in the chearful confidence expressed by Lavinia, that he could not be mistaken.
‘The little hoard69, into which already we have broken for Lionel,’ he went on, ‘I have offered to lend him for present payment, as far as it will go, and to receive it again at stated periods. In the mean while, I shall accept from him the same interest as from the bank. For this I am to have also security. I run no risk of the little all I have to leave to my two girls.’
He now looked at them both, expecting to see pleasure even in Camilla, that what was destined70, hereafter, for herself, could prove of the smallest utility to Sir Hugh; but his disappointment, and her shock were equal. Too true for the most transitory disguise, the keenest anguish71 shot from her eye; and Mr. Tyrold, amazed, said: ‘Is it Camilla who would draw back from any service to her uncle?’
‘Ah no!’ cried she, with clasped hands, ‘I would die to do him any good! and O-that my death at this moment’–
She stopt, affrighted, for Mr. Tyrold frowned. A frown upon a face so constantly benign72, was new, was awful to her; but she instantly recollected73 his condemnation75 of wishes so desperate, and fearfully taking his hand, besought76 his forgiveness.
His brow instantly resumed its serenity77. ‘I have nothing,’ said he, ‘my dearest child, to forgive, from the moment you recollect74 yourself. But try, for your own sake, to keep in mind, that the current sorrows, however acute, of current life, are but uselessly aggravated78 by vain wishes for death. The smallest kind office better proves affection than any words, however elevated.’
The conference here broke up; something incomprehensible seemed to Mr. Tyrold to be blended with the grief of Camilla; and though from her birth she had manifested, by every opportunity, the most liberal disregard of wealth, the something not to be understood seemed always to have money for its object. What this might be, he now fervently79 wished to explore; yet still hoped, by patient kindness, to receive her confidence voluntarily.
Camilla now was half dead; Lavinia could with difficulty sustain, but by no possible means revive her. What a period was this to disclose to her Father that she must deprive him, in part, even of his promised solace80 in his intended assistance to his brother, to satisfy debts of which he suspected not the existence!
When forced down stairs, by a summons to supper, Mr. Tyrold, to console her for his momentary81 displeasure, redoubled his caresses82; but his tenderness only made her weep yet more bitterly, and he looked at her with a heart rent with anguish. For Lavinia, for Eugenia, he would have felt similar grief; but their far less gay, though equally innocent natures, would have made the view of their affliction less strikingly oppressive. Camilla had, hitherto, seemed in the spring of joy yet more than of life. Anxiety flew at her approach, and animation83 took its place. Nothing could shake his resignation; yet to behold her constant sadness, severely84 tried his fortitude85. To see tears trickling86 incessantly87 down the pale cheeks so lately blooming; to see her youthful countenance88 wear the haggard expression of care; to see life, in its wish and purposes seem at an end, ’ere, in its ordinary calculation, it was reckoned to have begun, drew him from every other consideration, and filled his whole mind with monopolizing89 apprehension90.
He now himself pressed her, for change of scene, to accept an invitation she had received from Mrs. Berlinton to Grosvenor Square, whither Indiana was going in a few days, to spend a fortnight or three weeks before her marriage. But she declined the excursion, as not more unseasonable in its expence, than ungenial to her feelings.
* * *
The following morning, while they were at their melancholy91 breakfast, a letter arrived from Lisbon, which Mr. Tyrold read with visible disturbance, exclaiming, from time to time, ‘Lionel, thou art indeed punished!’
The sisters were equally alarmed, but Lavinia alone could make any enquiry.
Mr. Tyrold then informed them, their uncle Relvil had just acknowledged to their Mother, that he could no longer, in justice, conceal92 that, previously93 to his quitting England, he had privately94 married his house-keeper, to induce her to accompany him in his voyage: and that, during his first wrath95 upon the detection of Lionel, he had disinherited him in favour of a little boy of her own, by a former marriage, whom they had brought with them to Lisbon.
Mr. Tyrold, though it had been his constant study to bring up his children without any reference to their rich uncles, had never internally doubted, but that the bachelor brother of Mrs. Tyrold would leave his fortune to the son of his only sister, who was his sole near relation. And Lionel, he knew, in defiance96 of his admonitions, had built upon it himself, rather as a certainty than a hope. ‘He will now see,’ said Mr. Tyrold, ‘his presumption97, and feel, by what he suffers, what he has earned. Yet culpable98 as he has been, he is now, also, unfortunate; and where crimes are followed by punishment, it is not for mortal man to harbour unabating resentment. I will write a few lines of comfort to him.’
Camilla, in this concession99, experienced all she could feel of satisfaction; but the short sensation died away at the last words of the letter of her Mother, which Mr. Tyrold read aloud.
‘You, I well know, will immediately in this evil, find for yourself, and impart to our children, something of instruction, if not of comfort. Shall I recollect this without emulation100? No, I will bear up from this stroke, which, at least, permits my return to Etherington; where, in the bosom101 of my dear family, and supported by its honoured chief, I will forget my voyage, my painful absence, and my disappointment, in exertions102 of practical oeconomy, strict, but not rigid104, which our good children will vie with each other to adopt: sedulous62, all around, to shew in what we can most forbear. I hope almost immediately to claim my share in these labours, which such motives105 will make light, and such companions render precious.’
In agony past repression106 at these words, Camilla glided107 out of the room. The return of her Mother was now horrour to her, not joy; her shattered nerves could not bear the interview, while under a cloud threatening to burst in such a storm; and she entreated108 Lavinia to tell her Father that she accepted his proposal for going to Mrs. Berlinton’s ; ‘and there,’ she cried, ‘Lavinia, I will wait, till Eugenia has told the dreadful history that thus humbles109 me to the dust!’
Lavinia was too timid to oppose reason to this suffering; and Mr. Tyrold, already cruelly apprehensive110 the obscurity of their recluse111 lives contributed to her depression, and believing she compared her present privations to the lost elegancies of Beech112 Park, sighed heavily, yet said he was glad she would remove from a spot in which reminiscence was so painful. This was not, indeed, he added, the period he should have selected for her visiting the capital, or residing at Mrs. Berlinton’s ; but she was too much touched by the state of her family, not to be guarded in her expences; and the pressure of her ever augmenting113 sadness, was heavier upon his mind than any other alarm.
The conscience-struck Camilla could make no profession, no promise; nor yet, though ardently114 wishing it, refuse his offered advance of her next quarter’s allowance, lest she should be reduced again to the necessity of borrowing.
This step once decided115, brought with it something like a gloomy composure. ‘I shall avoid,’ she cried, ‘at least, with my Mother, these killing116 caresses of deluded117 kindness that break my heart with my Father. She, too, would soon discover there was something darker in my sadness than even grief! She would be sure that even my exquisite118 loss could not render me ungrateful to all condolement; she would know that a daughter whom she had herself reared and instructed, would blush so unceasingly to publish any personal disappointment, let her feel it how she might. O my loved Mother! how did the delight of knowing your kind expectations keep me, while under your guidance in the way I ought to go! O Mother of my heart! what a grievous disappointment awaits your sad return! To find, at the first opening of your virtuous schemes of general saving-that I, as well as Lionel, have involved my family in debts-that I, as well as Clermont, have committed them clandestinely119 to a usurer!’
Lavinia undertook to give Eugenia proper instructions for her commission; but news arrived, the next day, that Sir Hugh would take no denial to Eugenia’s being herself of the party. This added not, however, to the courage of Camilla for staying, and her next determination was to reveal the whole by letter.
Mr. Tyrold would not send her to Cleves to take leave, that her uncle might not be tempted67 to exercise his wonted, but now no longer convenient generosity120, nor yet be exposed to the pain of withholding121 it. ‘You will go, now, my dear girl,’ he said, ‘in your pristine122 simplicity123, and what can so every way become you? It is not for a scheme of pleasure, but for a stimulus124 to mental exertion103, I part with you. When you return, your excellent Mother will aid your task, and reward its labour. Remember but, while in your own hands, that open oeconomy, springing from discretion125, is always respected. It is false shame alone that begets126 ridicule127.’
Weeping and silent she heard him, and his fears gained ground that her disappointment, joined to a view of gayer life, had robbed Etherington of all charms to her. Bitterly he regretted he had ever suffered her to leave his roof, though he would not now force her stay. Compulsion could only detain her person; and might heighten the disgust of her mind.
The little time which remained was given wholly to packing and preparing; and continued employment hid from Mr. Tyrold her emotion, which encreased every moment, till the carriage of Sir Hugh stopt at the gate. Lost, then, to all sensation, but the horrour of the avowal that must intervene ’ere they met again, with incertitude128 if again he would see her with the same kindness, she flew into his arms, rather agonised than affectionate; kissed his hands with fervour, kissed every separate finger, rested upon his shoulder, hid her face in his bosom, caught and pressed to her lips even the flaps of his coat, and scarce restrained herself from bending to kiss his feet; yet without uttering a word, without even shedding a tear.
Strangely surprised, and deeply affected129, Mr. Tyrold, straining her to his breast, said: ‘Why, my dear child, why, my dearest Camilla, if thus agitated130 by our parting, do you leave me?’
This question brought her to recollection, by the impossibility she found to answer it; she tore herself, therefore, away from him, embraced Lavinia, and hurried into the coach.
