THE plan of Camilla was to stop within twenty yards of the house of Bellamy, and then send for Molly Mill. But till she gave direction to the driver, she was not aware of the inconvenience of being without a servant, which had not previously1 occurred either to Mrs. Berlinton or herself. The man could not leave his horses, and she was compelled to let him draw up to the gate. There, when he rang at a bell, her terrour, lest she should suddenly encounter Mrs. Tyrold, made her bid him open the chaise door, that she might get out and walk on, before he enquired2 for Molly. But, in stepping from the carriage, she discerned, over a paling at some distance, Eugenia herself, alone, slowly walking, and her head turned another way.
Every personal, and even every filial idea, was buried instantly in this sight. The disastrous4 state of this beloved and unhappy sister, and her own peculiar5 knowledge of’ the worthless character of the wretch6 who had betrayed her into his snares7, penetrated8 her with an anguish9 that took thought from all else; and darting10 through the great gate, and thence through a smaller one, which opened to the spot where she saw her walking, she flew to her in a speechless transport of sorrow, folded her in her arms, and sobbed11 upon her shoulder.
Starting, shaking, amazed, Eugenia looked at her; ‘Good Heaven!’ she exclaimed, ‘is it my Sister?–Is it Camilla?–Do I, indeed, see one so dear to me?’ And, too weak to sustain herself, she sunk, though not fainting, upon the turf.
Camilla could not articulate a syllable12. The horrour she had conceived against Bellamy chilled all attempt at consolation13, and her own misery14 which, the preceding moment, seemed to be crushing the springs of life, vanished in the agonized15 affection with which she felt the misfortunes of her sister.
Eugenia soon recovered, and rising, and holding her by the hand, yet seeming to refuse herself the emotion of returning her embraces, said, with a faint effort to smile; ‘You have surprised me, indeed, my dear Camilla, and convicted me to myself of my vain philosophy. I had thought I should never more be moved thus again. But I see now, the affections are not so speedily to be all vanquished16.’
The melancholy17 conveyed by this idea of believed apathy18, in a young creature so innocent, and but just dawning into life, still beyond speech, and nearly beyond sufferance, affected19 Camilla, who hanging over her, sighed out: ‘My dearest!-dearest Eugenia!’
‘And what is it has brought to me this unexpected, but loved sight? Does Mr. Bellamy know you are here?’
‘No,’ she answered, shuddering20 at his name.
Eugenia looked pensive21, looked distressed22; and casting down her eyes and hesitating, with a deep sigh said: ‘I,–I have not the trinkets for my dear Sister–Mr. Bellamy–’ she stopt.
Called to her sad self by this shock, of which she strove to repress the emotion, Camilla recollected23 her own ‘almost blunted purpose,’ [Shakespeare] and fearfully asked if their Mother were yet at Belfont.
‘Ah, no!’ she answered, clasping her hands, and leaning her head upon her sister’s neck: ‘She is gone!-the day before yesterday she was with me,-with me only for one hour!-yet to pass with her such another, I think, my dear Camilla, would soon lead me where I might learn a better philosophy than that I so vainly thought I had already acquired here!’
Camilla, struck with awe24, ventured not even at an enquiry; and they both, for some little time, walked on in silence.
‘Did she name to you,’ at length, in broken accents, she asked, ‘did she name to you, my Eugenia,-the poor, banished25–Camilla?’–
‘Banished? No. How banished?’
‘She did not mention me?’
‘No. She came to me but upon one subject. She failed in her purpose,-and left me.’
A sigh that was nearly a groan26 finished this short little speech.
‘Ah, Heaven! My Eugenia,’ cried Camilla, now in agony unresisted, ‘tell me, then, what passed! What new disappointment had my unhappy Mother to sustain? And how, and by what cruel fatality27, has it fallen to your lot-even to yours-to suffer her wishes to fail?’
‘You know nothing, then,’ said Eugenia, after a pause, ‘of her view-her errand hither?’
‘Nothing; but that to see you brought her not only hither, but to England.’
‘Blessed may she be!’ cried Eugenia, fervently28, ‘and rewarded where rewards are just, and are permanent!’
Camilla zealously29 joined in the prayer, yet besought30 to know if she might not be informed of the view to which she alluded31?
‘We must go, then,’ said Eugenia, ‘into the house; my poor frame is yet feebler than my mind, and I cannot support it unaided while I make such a relation.’
Camilla, affrighted, now gave up her request; but the generous Eugenia would not leave her in suspense32. They went, therefore, to a parlour, where, shutting the doors and windows, he said, ‘I must be concise33, for both our sakes; and when you understand me, we must talk instantly of other things.’
Camilla could give only a tacit promise; but her air shewed she would hold it sacred as any bond.
‘The idea which brought over this inestimable Parent, and which brought her, at a moment when she knew me to be alone, to this sad house, these sad arms–Camilla! how shall I speak it? It was to exonerate34 me from my vows35, as forced! to annul36 all my engagements, as compulsatory! and to restore me again... O, Camilla! Camilla! to my Parents, my Sisters, my Uncle, my dearly-loved Cleves!’
She gasped37 almost convulsively; yet though Camilla now even conjured38 her to say no more, went on: ‘A proposal such as this, pressed upon me by one whose probity39 and honour hold all calamity40 at nought41, if opposed to the most minute deviation42 from right-a proposal such as this... ah! let me not go back to the one terrible half instant of demur43! It was heart-rending, it was killing44! I thought myself again in the bosom45 of my loved family!’–
‘And is it so utterly46 impossible? And can it not yet be effected?’–
‘No, my dear Sister, no! The horrible scenes I must go through in a public trial for such a purpose-the solemn vows I must set aside, the re-iterated promises I must break,-no, my dear Sister, no!... And now, we will speak of this no more.’
Camilla knew too well her firmness, her enthusiasm to perform whatever she conceived to be her duty, to enter into any contest. Yet to see her thus self devoted47, where even her upright Mother, and pious48 Father, those patterns of resignation to every heaven-inflicted sorrow, thought her ties were repealed49 by the very villainy which had formed them, seemed more melancholy, and yet harder for submission50, than her first seizure51 by the worthless Bellamy.
‘And how bore my poor Mother-my poor unfortunate Mother! destined52 thus to woes54 of every sort, though from children who adore her!-how bore she the deprivation55 of a hope that had brought her so far?’
‘Like herself! nobly! when once it was decided56, and she saw that though, upon certain avowals, the law might revoke57 my plighted58 faith, it could not abrogate59 the scruples60 of my conscience. She thinks them overstrained, but she knows them to be sincere, and permitted them, therefore, to silence her. Unfit to be seen by any others, she hurried then away. And then, Camilla, began my trial! Indeed I thought, when she had left me,... when my arms no more embraced her honoured knees, and neither her blessings61, nor her sorrows soothed63 or wounded my ears, I thought I might defy all evil to assault, all woe53 to afflict64 me ever again! that my eyes were exhausted65 of every tear, and my heart was emptied of all power of future feeling. I seemed suddenly quite hardened;-transformed I thought to stone, as senseless, as immovable, and as cold!’
The sensations of Camilla were all such as she durst not utter; but Eugenia, assuming some composure; added, ‘Of this and of me now enough-speak, my dear Sister, of yourself. How have you been enabled to come hither? And what could you mean by saying you were banished?’
‘Alas! my dearest Eugenia, if my unhappy situation is unknown to you, why should I agitate66 you with new pain? my Mother, I find, spared you; and not only you, but me-though I have wrung67 her heart, tortured it by a sight never to be obliterated68 from her memory-she would not rob me of my beloved sister’s regard; nor even name me, lest the altered tone of her voice should make you say, Of what Camilla does my Mother speak?’
Eugenia, with earnest wonder, begged an explanation; but when Camilla found her wholly uninformed of the history of their Father’s confinement69, she recoiled70 from giving her such a shock: yet having gone too far entirely71 to recede72, she rested the displeasure of their Mother upon the debts, and the dealings with a usurer; both sufficiently73 repugnant to the strictness and nobleness of Mrs. Tyrold, to seem ample justification74 of her displeasure.
Eugenia entered into the distresses75 of her sister, as if exempt76 herself from all suffering: and Camilla, thus commiserating77 an commiserated78, knew now how to tear herself away; for though Eugenia pressed not her stay, she turned pale, when a door opened, a clock struck, or any thing seemed to prognosticate separation; and looked as if to part with her were death.
At length, however, the lateness of the day forced more of resolution. But when Camilla then rang to give orders for the carriage, the footman said it had been gone more than two hours. The postillion, being left without any directions, thought it convenient to suppose he was done with; and knowing Camilla had no authority, and his lady no inclination79 to chide80 him, had given in her little packet, and driven off, without enquiry.
Far from repining at this mixture of impertinence and carelessness, Camilla would have rejoiced in an accident that seemed to invite her stay, had not her sister seemed more startled than pleased by it. She begged, therefore, that a post chaise might be ordered; and Molly Mill, the only servant to whom the mistress of the house appeared willing to speak, received the commission. At sight of Camilla, Molly had cried bitterly, and beginning ‘O Miss!–’ seemed entering into some lamentation81 and detail; but Eugenia, checking her, half whispered: ‘Good Molly, remember what you promised!’
When Molly came back, she said that there were no horses at Belfont, and would be none till the next morning.
The sisters involuntarily congratulated one another upon this accident, though they reciprocated82 a sigh, that to necessity alone they should owe their lengthened83 intercourse84.
‘But, my dear mistress,’ cried Molly, ‘there’s a lad that I know very well, for I always see him when I go of an errand, that’s going to Salisbury; and he says he must go through Etherington, and if you’ve any thing you want to send he’ll take it for you; and he can bring any thing back, for he shall be here again to morrow, for he goes post.’
Eugenia, sending away Molly, said, ‘Why should you not seize such an opportunity to address a few lines to our dear Mother? I may then have the satisfaction to see her answer: and if,... as I cannot doubt, she tells you to return home with Miss Margland;-for she will not, I am sure, let you travel about alone;-what a relief will it be to me to know the distresses of my beloved sister are terminated! I shall paint your meeting in my “mind’s eye,” see you again restored to the sunshine of her fondness, and while away my solitary85 languor86 with reveries far more soothing87 than any that I have yet experienced at Belfont.’
Camilla embraced her generous Sister; and always readiest for what was speediest, wrote these lines, directed
To Miss TYROLD.
I cannot continue silent, yet to whom may I address myself? I dare not apply to my Father–I scarce dare even think of my Mother–Encompassed with all of guilt88 with which imprudence could ensnare me, my courage is gone with my happiness! which way may I then turn? In pity to a wretched sister, drop, O Lavinia, at the feet of her I durst not name, but whom I revere89, if possible, even more than I have offended, this small and humble90 memorial of my unhappy existence-my penitence91, my supplication92, my indescribable, though merited anguish!
CAMILLA.
Could the two sisters, even in this melancholy state, have continued together, they felt that yet from tender sympathy, consolation might revisit their bosoms93. The day closed in; but they could not bear to part; and though, from hour to hour, they pronounced an adieu, they still sat on, talked on, and found a balm in their restored intercourse, so healing and so sweet, that the sun, though they hailed not its beams, rose while they were yet repeating Good Night!
They then thought it too late to retire, mutually agreeing with how much greater facility they might recover their lost rest, than an opportunity such as this for undisturbed conversation.
Every minute of this endearing commerce made separation seem harder; and the answer for which they waited from Etherington, anxiously and fearfully as it was expected, so whiled away the minutes, that it was noon, and no chaise had been ordered, when they heard one driving up to the house.
Alarmed, they listened to know what it portended94. ‘Mr. Bellamy,’ said Eugenia, in a low voice, ‘scarce ever comes home at this hour.’
‘Can it be my Mother herself?’ cried Camilla.
In a few minutes, however, Eugenia looked pale, “Tis his step!’ she whispered; and presently Bellamy opened the door.
Obliged to acknowledge his entrance, Camilla arose; but her parched95 lips and clammy mouth made her feel as if his sight had given her a fever, and she attempted not to force any speech.
He did not seem surprized at seeing her, asked how she did, rather cavalierly than civilly: rang the bell, and gave various orders; addressed scarce a word to his wife, and walked whistling about the room.
A change so gross and quick from the obsequious96 Bellamy Camilla had hitherto seen, was beyond even her worst expectations, and she conceived as low an opinion of his understanding and his manners, as of his morals.
Eugenia kept her eyes rivetted to the ground; and though she tried, from time to time, to say something to them both, evidently it required her utmost fortitude97 to remain in the room.
At length; ‘Miss Camilla,’ he said, ‘I suppose you know Miss Margland is gone?’
‘Gone? whither?-how gone?’
‘Why home. That is to her home, as she thinks it, Cleves. She set off this morning with the light.’
Camilla, astonished, was now called forth98 from her taciturnity; ‘What possibly,’ she cried, ‘can have induced this sudden journey? Has my uncle sent for her?’
‘No; your uncle has nothing to do with it. She had a letter last night from Mrs. Macdersey, with one enclosed for Sir Hugh, to beg pardon and so forth; and this morning she set off to carry it.’
Camilla was confounded. Why Miss Margland had not, at least, called at Belfont to enquire3 if she would proceed with her, was beyond all her conjecture99.
Soon after, Bellamy’s servant came in with a letter for Camilla, which had arrived after she left town, and was given to him by Mrs. Berlinton’s butler. She retired100 into the next room to read it, where, to her great consternation101, she found it was from Jacob, and had been written the day of Mr. Tyrold’s arrest, though, as it was sent by a private hand, it had only now arrived.
‘Things going,’ he said, ‘so bad at Cleves, on account of so many misfortunes, his master was denying himself all his natural comforts, and in particular he had sent to un-order a new pipe of Madeira, saying he would go without; though, as Miss might remember, it was the very wine the doctors had ordered for his stomach. This all the servants had taken so to heart, that they had resolved to buy it among ’em, and get it privately102 laid in, and not let his honour know but what it was always the same, till he had drunk so much he could not help himself. For this, they were to join, according to their wages or savings103; Now I’ says Jacob, ‘being, by his gud honnur’s genrosty, the ritchist ammung us, fur my kalling, wants to do the most, after nixt to the buttlur and huskippir, so, der Miss, awl104 I’ve gut105 beng in the funs, witch I cant106 sil out withowt los, if you can lit me have the munny fur the hurs, without ullconvenince, til Miss Geny that was can pay it, I shul be mutch obbleggd, poor Miss Geny nut havving of a fardin, witch wil be a gret fevur to, Madm,
Yur humbbel survent til deth
JACCUB MORD.’
So touching107 a mark of the fond gratitude108 of the Cleves’ servants to their kind master, mingled109 tenderness, in defiance110 of all horrour, in the tears of Camilla; but her total inability to satisfy the just claims of Jacob, since now her resource even in Eugenia failed, with the grief of either defeating his worthy111 project, or making it lastingly112 hurtful to him, was amongst the severest strokes which had followed her ill advised schemes. To proclaim such an additional debt, was a shame from which she shrunk; yet to fly immediately to Cleves, and try to soothe62 her oppressed uncle, was an idea that still seemed gifted with some power to soothe herself. Whither indeed else could she now go? she had no longer either carriage or protectress in town; and what she gathered of the re-admission of Bellamy to Grosvenor-square, made the cautions and opinions of Edgar burst forcibly upon her mind, to impede113, though most mournfully, all future return to Mrs. Berlinton.
A pliancy114 so weak, or so wilful115, seemed to announce in that lady an almost determined116 incorrigibility117 in wrong, however it might be checked, in its progress, by a mingled love of right, and a fear of ill consequences.
‘Ah Edgar!’ she cried, ‘had I trusted you as I ought, from the moment of your generous declaration-had my confidence been as firm in your kindness as in your honour, what misery had I been saved!-from this connexion-from my debts-from every wide-spreading mischief118!–I could then have erred119 no more, for I should have thought but of your approvance!’
These regrets were, as usual, resuming their absorbing powers;-for all other evils seemed fluctuating, but here misery was stationary120; when the voice of Bellamy, speaking harshly to his unhappy wife, and some words she unavoidably caught, by which she found he was requesting that she would demand money of Sir Hugh, made her conclude him not aware he was overheard, and force herself back to the parlour. But his inattention upon her return was so near rudeness, that she soon felt convinced Mrs. Berlinton had acquainted him with her remonstrances121 and ill opinion: he seemed in guilty fear of letting her converse122 even a moment with Eugenia; and presently, though with an air of pretended unconcern, said: ‘You have no commands for the chaise I came in, Miss Camilla?’
‘No, Sir.... What chaise?... Why?...’ she stammered123.
‘It’s difficult sometimes to get one at this place; and these horses are very fresh. I bid them stay till they asked you.’
This was so palpable a hint for her to depart, that she could not but answer she would make use of it, when she had taken leave of her sister; whom she now looked at with emotions near despair at her fate, and with difficulty restrained even its most unbridled expressions. But Bellamy kept close, and no private conference could take place. Eugenia merely said: ‘Which way, my dear sister, shall you go?’
‘I... I am not, fixed-to... to Cleves, I believe,’ answered she, scarce knowing herself what she said.
‘I am very glad of it,’ she replied, ‘for the sake of my poor–’ she found her voice falter124, and did not pronounce ‘uncle;’ but added, ‘as Miss Margland has already left London, I think you right to go thither125 at once; it may abridge126 many difficulties; and with post-horses, you may be there before it is dark.’
They then embraced tenderly, but parted without any further speech, and she set off rather mechanically than designedly for Cleves.
