Books: Love and Life

The pretty air of repentance was almost irresistible, well as the
Major knew it for the mood of the moment, assumed as what would
best satisfy him.

"I rejoice," she went on, "in spite of my lovely daughter-in-law's
discretion, she will be well surrounded with guardians. Has the
excellent Betty consented?"

"At last, madam. My persuasions were vain till she found that Mr.
Belamour would gladly come with us to Austria, and that she should
be enabled to watch over both her young sister and me."

"There, again, I give myself credit, Harry. Would the sacred flame
ever have awakened in yonder misanthrope had I not sent your daughter
to restore him to life?" She spoke playfully, but the Major could
not help thinking she had persuaded herself that all his present
felicity was owing to her benevolence, and that she would persuade
him of it too, if she went on much longer looking at him so sweetly.
He _would_ not tax her with the wicked note she had written to account
for Mr. Belamour's disappearance, and which she had forgotten; he felt
that he could not impel one, whom he could not but still regard with
tenderness, to utter any more untruths and excuses.

"By the by," she added, "does your daughter take my waiting-maid after
all? I would have forgiven her, for she is an admirable hairdresser,
but Wayland says he cannot have so ingenious person in his house;
though after all I do not see that she is a bit worse than others of
her condition, and she herself insists on trying to become Aurelia's
attendant, vowing that the sight of her is as good as any Methodist
sermon!"

"Precisely, madam. We were all averse to taking her with us, but
Aurelia said she owed her much gratitude; and she declared so
earnestly that the sight of my dear child brought back all the
virtuous and pious thoughts she had forgotten, that even Betty's
heart was touched, and she is to go with us, on trial."

"Oh! she is as honest as regards money and jewels as ever I knew a
waiting-maid, but for the rest!" Lady Belamour shrugged her shoulders.
"However, one is as good as another, and at least she will never let
her lady go a fright! See here, Harry. These are the Delavie jewels:
I shall never need them more: carry them to your daughters."

"Nay, your own daughters, Urania."

"Never mind the little wretches. Their father will provide for them,
and they will marry American settlers in the forests. What should
they do with court jewels? It is his desire. See here, this suit
of pearls is what I wore at my wedding with Amyas's father, I should
like Aurelia to be married in them. Farewell, Harry, you did better
for yourself than if you had taken me. Yet maybe I might been a
better woman---" She stopped short as she looked at his honest face,
and eyes full of tears.

"No, Urania," he said, "man's love could not have done for you what
only another Love can do. May you yet find that and true Life."




The sisters were not married at the same time. Neither Mr. Belamour
nor his Elizabeth could endure to make part of the public pageant
that it was thought well should mark the _real_ wedding at Bowstead.
So their banns were put up at St. Clement Danes, and one quiet
morning they slipped out, with no witnesses but the Major, Aurelia,
and Eugene, and were wedded there in the most unobtrusive manner.

As to the great marriage, a month later at Bowstead, there was a
certain bookseller named Richardson, who by favour of Hargrave got
a view of it, and who is thought there to have obtained some ideas
for the culminating wedding of his great novel.

A little later, the following letter was written from the excellent
Mrs. Montagu to her correspondent Mrs. Elizabeth Carter. "There was
yesterday presented, preparatory to leaving England for Vienna, the
young Lady Belamour, incomparably the greatest beauty who has this
year appeared at Court. Every one is running after her, but she
appears perfectly unconscious of the _furore_ she has excited, and
is said to have been bred up in all simplicity in the country, and
to be as good as she is fair. Her young husband, Sir Amyas Belamour,
is a youth of much promise, and they seem absolutely devoted, with
eyes only for each other. They are said to have gone through a
series of adventures as curious as they are romantic; and indeed,
when they made their appearance, there was a general whisper, begun
by young Mr. Horace Walpole, of


"CUPID AND PSYCHE."
