4 ELECTIVE AFFINITIES. TBAVHLiTRP FBOXTSS etaXASmT Q«BTHS. chapter xyi. (Continued.) Edward, with a tolerable successful ef fort at commanding himself, replied: “Ottilie has. been so much spoilt, by living so long with ns here, that she will scarcely like to leave ns now." “We have all of us been too much spoilt/* said Charlotte, “and yourself not the least. This, is .an epoch which re quires us seriously to bethink ourselves. It is a solemn warning to us to consider what is really for the good of all the members of our little circle—and we our selves must not be afraid of making sac rifices.” “At any rate I cannot see that it is right that Ottilie should be made a sacri fice,” replied Edward; “and that would be the case if we were now to allow her to be sent away among strangers. The Captain’s good genius has sought him out here—we can feel easy, we can feel hap py at seeing him leave us; but who can tell what may be before Ottilie ? There is no occasion for baste." “What is before ns is sufficiently clear," Charlotte answered, with some emotion ; and as she was determined to have it all out at once, she went on: “You love Ol tilie; every day yon are becoming more attached to her. A reciprocal feeling is rising on her side as well, and feeding i*. self in the same way. Why should we not acknowledge in words what every hoar makes obvious? and are we not to have the common prudence to ass our selves in what is it to end ?” “We may not be able to find an answer on the moment,” replied E l ward, collect ing himself, “but so much may be said, that if we cannot exactly tell what will come of it, we may resign onrselves to wait and see what the future may tell us about it.” “No great wisdom is required to prophesy here; and, at any rate, we ongbt to feel that you and I are past the age when people may walk blindly where they should not or ought not to go. There is no one else to take care of us— we must be our own friends, our own managers. No one expects us to commit onreelvcs in an outrage upon decency ; no one expects that we are going to ex pose ourselves to censure or to ridicule.” “How can yon so mistake me,” said Ed ward, unable to reply to his wife’s clear, open words. “Can yoa fiad it a fault in; me, if 1 am anxious about Ottilie’s piness ? Ido not mean future happiness —no one can count on that—bin what is present, palpable and Immediate. Con sider, don’t deceive yourself; consider frankly Ottilie’s case, torn away from ns, and sent to live among strangers. I, at least, am not cruel enough to porprose such a change for her.” Charlotte saw too clearly Into her hus- Ijband’s intent! ms, through bis disguise. For the first time she felt how far he bad estranged himself from her. Her voice shook a little. “Will Oltilie be happy if she divides os?" she said. “If she deprives me of a husband, and bis children of a father!” “Our children, I should have thought, were sufficiently provided for,” said Ed ward, with a cold smile, adding rather more kindly, “but why at once expect the very worst." “The very worst is tonsure to follow this passion of yours,” returned Char lotte; “do not refuse good advice while there is yet time; do not throw away the means which I propose to save us. In troubled cases those must work and help who see the clearest—this time it is I. Dear, dearest Elward, listen to me—can yon propose to me. that now at once I shall renounce my happiness! renounce my fairest rights, renounce you!” "Who says that ?” replied Edward, with some embarrassment. “You, yourself, answered Charlotte ; “in determining to keep Oltilie here, are you not acknowledging everything which must arise out of it? I will urge nothing on you—but if you cannot conquor your self, at least you wi 1 not be able much longer to deceive yourself." Edward felt how right she was. It is fearful to hear spoken out, in words, what the heart has gone on long permit ting to itself in secret. To escape only for a moment, Edward answered, "It is not yet clsar to me what yon want.” ’•My intention,” she replied, “was to talk over with you these two proposals— each of them has its advantages. The school would be best suited to her. as she now is; but the other situation is lirger, and wider, and promises more, when I think what she may become.” She then her husband circumstantially what would lie before Oltilie in each po sition, and concluded with the words, “For my own part I should prefer the lady’s house: to the school, for more reas ons than one; but particular! y because I should not like the aftection, the love in deed, of the young man there, which Ot tiiie has gained, to increase.” Edward appeared to approve; but U was only to find some means of delay. Charlotte, who desired to commit him to a definite sle.i, seized the opportunity t as Eiwardraade no immediate opposition, t«. settl 3 Ottilie’s departure, for which she had already privately ma le all prt p o -iii »ns, f->r the next day. * Siiuidcred—he thought he was A Novel. PART I. betrayed. His wife’s affectionate speech was an artfully contrived trick to separate him forever from his happi ness. He appeared to leave the thing en tirely to her; but in bis heart bis resolu tion .was already taken. T.n gain time to breathe, to put off the immediate intoler able misery of Otlilie’s being sent away, be determined to leave his house. He told Charlolte be wasgoing;, bathe had blinded her to his real reason, by telling her that be would not be present at Ot tilie's departure, indeed, that, from that moment, be would see her no more. Charlotte, who believed that she had gained her point, approved most cor dially. He ordered his horse, gave bis valet the necessary directions what to pack up, where he should follow him; and then, on the point of departure, be sat down and wrote: Edward to Charlotte. “The misfortune, my love, which has befallen us, may or may not adroit of remedy; only this I feel, that if I am not at once to be driven to despair, I must find some means of delay for myself, and for all of us. In making myself tbe sac rifice, I b&ve a right to make a rquest. I am leaving my home, and I only return to it under happier and more peaceful auspices. While 1 am away, you keep possession of it —but mth Ottilie. I choose to know that she is with you, and not among strangers. Take care of her ; treat her as you have treated her—only more lovingly, more kindly, fhore tender ly ! I promise that I will not attempt any secret intercourse with her. Leave me, as long a time as you please, without knowing anything about you. I will not allow myself to be anxious—nor need you be uneasy about me; enty, with all my heart and soul, I beseech you, make no attempt to send Ottilie away, or to in troduce her into any eituatiou. Beyond the circle of the castle and tbe park, plac ed In tbe bands of strangers, she belongs to me, and I will take possession of her ! If you have any regard for my affection, for my wishes, for my sufferings, you will leave me alone to my madness; and if any hope of recovery from it should ever hereafter offer itself to me I w ill not re sist..” This last sentence ran his pen—not out of bis heart. Even when he saw it upon the piper, be began bltterl,- to weep. Thai he, nnder any circumstances, should renounce the happiness—even the wretchedness—of loving Ottilie! He on ly now began to feel what he was d« ing —be was going away without knowing what was to be the result. At any rate he was not to see her again novo— with what certainty could he promise himself that be Would ever see her again: But the letter was written—the horses were at the door; every moment he wis afraid he might see Ottilie somewhere, and then his whole purpose would go to-the winds. He collected himself—he remembered, that, at any rate, he would be able to re turn at any moment be pleased; and that, by bis absence be would have ad vanced nearer to his wisher; on the other side he pictured Ouiiie to himseif forced to leave the house if he stayed. He sealed the letter, ran down the steps, and sprang upon bis horse. As he rode past the hoti I, he saw the beggar to whom he bad given so much money the night before, sifting under the the trees; the man was busy enjoying his dinner, and. as E Iward passed, stood op and made him the humblest obeisance. That figure had appeared to him yester day, when Ottiliee was on bis arm; now it only served as a bitter reminiscence of the happiest hour of his life. His grief redoubled. The feeling of what be was. leaving behind was intolerable. He look ed again at the beggar. wretch !” be criedt “you can still feed upon the alms of yesterday— and I cannot any more on the happiness of yesterday." Vv -CHVPTER xni. Oltilie heard some one ride away, and went to the window in time just to catch a sight of Ed ward’s back. It was strange, she thought, that he should have left the house without seeing her, without having even wished her good morning. She grew uncomfortable, and her anxiety did not diminish when Charlotte took her out lor a long walk, and talked of various other things; but not once, and apparently oh purpose, mentioning her husband. When they returned she found the table laid only with two covers. Itis unpleasant to miss even the most trifling thing to which we have been ac customed. In serious things such a loss becomes miserably painful. Edward and the Captain were not there. The first ■line, for a long while, Charlotte sat at the head of the table herself—and it seemed to Ottijie as if she was deposed. The two ladies sat opposite each other ; ChatlUle talked, without the bast em barrassmenl, of the Captain and bis ap pointment, and of the little hope there was of seeing him again for a long time. The only comfort Ouilie could find.fir herself was in the idea that Edward had ridden after his friend, to accompany him a part of his journey. On rising from the table, however, they saw Edward’s traveling carriage under H e window. Charlotte?, as tf she was a ittle put nut, asked who had it brought, round there. She was told it was the val et, who had some things there to pack op. It required all Guide's self-command to conceal her wonder and her distress. The valet came in, and asked if they would be fo good as to let lim have a THE RADICAL: FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1873. drinking cup ot his silver spoons, and a other things, which seemed to Ottiiie to imply tbit he was gone some distance, the would be away for along time,. ; Charlotte gave him a very cold dry an-( swer. She did not knowwhat he meant —he had everything belonging to hia master under hia own care. What the man wanted was to speafcaword-to Ot tilia, and on some pretence or other to get her out of the roomjke made some clever excuse, and persisted In hia request so far that Ottiiie asked if she should go to look for the things fair him. But Char lotte quietly said that she had better not. The valet bad to depart, and the carriage rolled away. i / It was a dreadful moment for Otlilie. She understood nothing—comprehended nothing She could only feel' that Bd* ward ha-i been p tried from her for a long time. Charlotte felt for her situation, and left her to herself. We will not attempt to describe what she went through, or how she felt. She suffered infinitely. She prayeetthat God would help her only over this one day. The day passed, and the night, and when she came to herself again she felt herself a changed being. She bad not grown composed. She was not resigned, but, after having lost what she had lost, she w)m still alive, and them was something still left for her to fear. Her anxiety, after returning to conscious ness, was aroused, lest, how that the gen tlemen were gone, she might be sent away too. She never guessed at Edward’s threats, which had secured her remain ing with her aunt. Yet Charlotte’s man ner served partially to reassure her. The exerted herself to find employment for the poor girt, and hardly ever—never, if she could help it—left her out of her sight; and although she knew well how little words can do against the power of passion, yet she knew, too, the sure though slow influence of thought and re flection, and therefore missed no oppor tunity of inducing Otlilie to talk with her 6n every variety of subject. It was on little comfort to Ottiiie when one day Charlotte took an opportunity of making (she did it on purpose) the wise observation, “How keenly grateful people were to us when we were able by stilling and calming them to help them out of the entangle- men la of passion t Let as set cheerfully to w irk,"she said,“at what the men have left incomplete ; we shall be preparing the most charming surprise for them when they return to ns, and our temper ate proceedings will have carried through and executed what their impatient natures;, would have spoilt.” “Speaking of temperance, my dear aunt, I cannot help saying; how I am struck with the intemperance of men, particularly fo respect of wine. It has often pained and distressed me, when I observed how, for hours together, clear • ness of understanding, judgment, consid* eratenefe, and whatever is most amiable about them, will be utterly gone, and in stead of the good which they might have done if they bad been themselves, most disagreeable things sometimes threaten. How often may not wrong, rash deter minations have arisen entirely from that one cause!” Charlotte assented, but she did not go on with the subject. She saw only too clearly that (t was Edward of whom Ot tilie was thinking. It was not exactly habitual with him, but he allowed him* self much more frequent Ij than was at all desirable to stimulate bis enjoyment and his power of talking and acting by such indulgence. If what Charlotte had just said had set Ottilie thinking again about men, and particularly about Edward, she was all the more struck and startled when her aunt begin to speak of the impending marriage of the Captain as a thing quite settled and acknowledg ed. This gave a totally different aspect to affiirs from what, E Iward hai pre- viously led her to entertain. It mide her watch every expression of Charlotte’s, every hint, every, action, every step. Ot tilie had become jealous, sharp-eyed, and suspicious, without knowing it. Meanwhile, Charlotte with her clear glance looked through the whole circum- stances of their tituation, and made ar rangements which would provide, among other advantages, full employment for Ot tilie. She contracted her household, not parsimoniously, but into narrower di* meusions; aad, indeed, in one point of view, these* morxl aberrations might be taken for a not unfortunate accident. For la the style in which they had beep going on, they had fallen imperceptibly into extravagance ; an I from a want of seasonable reflection, from the rate at which they bad been living, and fr<»m the .variety of schemes ihto which they had been launching nut, their fine for- tune, which had been in excellent condi tion, had been shaken, if not seriously in- jured. The improvements which were going on ia the park she .did not interfere with ; she rather sought to advauce whatever might form a basis for future operations. But nerc, too, she assigned herself a Urn - it. Her husband on bis return should still find abundance to amuse himself with. TO BE CONTINUED.
