’Tis the first fiend e’er counsell’d man to rise,
And win the bliss1 the sprite himself had forfeited2.
Old play.
We must resume our narrative3 at the period when Mary Avenel was conveyed to the apartment which had been formerly4 occupied by the two Glendinnings, and when her faithful attendant, Tibbie, had exhausted6 herself in useless attempts to compose and to comfort her. Father Eustace also dealt forth7 with well-meant kindness those apophthegms and dogmata of consolation8, which friendship almost always offers to grief, though they are uniformly offered in vain. She was at length left to indulge in the desolation of her own sorrowful feelings. She felt as those who, loving for the first time, have lost what they loved, before time and repeated calamity9 have taught them that every loss is to a certain extent reparable or endurable.
Such grief may be conceived better than it can be described, as is well known to those who have experienced it. But Mary Avenel had been taught by the peculiarity10 of her situation, to regard herself as the Child of Destiny; and the melancholy12 and reflecting turn of her disposition13 gave to her sorrows a depth and breadth peculiar
