A ROMANCE OF THE OLD AND NEW WORLD ’ BY EMMA D. E. N. SOUTHWORTH, | Authorof “The Lost Heiress,” “The Deserted Wife,” “The Missing'Bride,” “Retribution,” etc. CHAPTER I. AN INTERRUPTED WEDDING, It was the first of May, the marriage day of the Viscount Montressor of Montressor Castle, Dorsetshire, and Estelle, only daughter and heiress of Sir Parke Morelle, Hyde Hall, Devonshire. A glorious morning ! the cloudless, blue sky smiled down Upon the green, hills and dewy dales and deep woods of Devon ; and the park around the Hall was all alive and musical, with the joyous songs of birds, and the merry laughter of young men and mai dens gathering to celebrate their May-day festival, and to do honor to the marriage of their landlord’s daughter. , The elm-shaded, winding aveuue that led from the highway to the house, was arched at each terminus by a mammoth wreath of flowers, and many were the car riages that passed under them, on their way to assist at the wedding ; and these contained only the bridesmaids, and the nearest friends and relatives of the family, whose relationship or position gave them the right to attend the bride to ehuroh ; —for a still more numerous party had been invited to meet her at the altar. The villagers and tenants, grouped about under the shade of the great old trees, or wan dering over the greensward on either side of the avenue, witched these equipages as they rolled on, commenting as usual on such occasions. “ Oh—dear me ! the weddingers won’t pass till nearly twelve ! and here we are to. wait two mortal hours! said a young girl to the game-keeper. “ Hush ! my darling look, here comes his Lordship’s carriage itself, just as sure as your the prettiest lass in the country.” It was Lord Montressor’s carriage. Early that morning a note from his affi anced bride had been put in his hands summoning hinn to a private conference with her at the Hall before they should proceed to the church. Surprised and filled with vague uneasiness, his lordship lost no time in obeying the behest. Within the most secluded of her suit of richly furnished apartments at the old Hall, half buried in the depths of a cushioned chair, reclined the bride expectant, in bri dal array. She was alone, her attendants having, by her own desire, withdrawn. Estelle Morelle—or “la belle Estelle,” “Beautiful Stelle,” “the Midnight Star” —as, for her resplendent dark beauty, she was poetically named—was at this time twenty-five years of age, and more lovely than a poet-’s or an artist’s ideal. Her form was of medium height, and very slen der, though well-rounded, with a graceful head, over which fell rich .masses of jet black silken ringlets, shading a face of pure, pale olive complexion with large mournful dark eyes, habitually veiled by the long, drooping lashes, and delicate, though full, curved lips, ever patiently dosed as in silent resignation. The pre vailing expression of her dark, brilliant countenance was a profound melancholy. The announcement of Miss Morelle’s approaching marriage, with the Viscount Montressor had created a profound sensa tion in the fashionable and aristocratic cir cles. A peerless beauty, the only child and heiress of the oldest, wealthiest and haughtiest baronet in the West of England, her heart had been as much the object of aspiration to the youthful and ardent,“as her hand and fortune had been the end of desire to the mercenary and ambitious. At the early age of seven years, Estelle had been placed at one of the first-class female institutions of learning at Paris, then as now, considered among the very best or their kind in the ;world, and there had been left to remain until her sixteenth year, when the sudden and calamitous breaking up of the institution, and her own severe illness, had occasioned her removal. That illness had been attended with marked changes in the constitution and temperament of the young girl. Estelle, previously the most careless, light-hearted and capricious of children, left her chamber of convalescence a sub-' dued, thoughtful, melancholy woman! The . laughing lips of girlhood! closed in patient “ sadness, the sparkling eyes sheathed their beams under long, shadowy lashes, now seldom lifted ; the silvery, elastic voice, sank into deep and thrilling tones ; fhe free, glad motions were measured and con trolled. She never entered another school, but completed her education: under the best masters, at home. To dissipate what was considered’ a transient melancholy, her parents travelled with her over Europe, pausing, at each capital and chief town, to show her all that was interesting and in structive. But though their daughter re paid their attentions with the Eweetest gratitude, and obeyed them with the gen tlest docility, she showed no interest in the passing scenes. And though everywhere her extreme beauty and ; sweetness of dis- position, not less than her fortune and po sition, drew around her many friends and admirers, Estelle 'remained alone in her isolated thoughts and feelings. Every most distinguished physician in Europe had s been consulted upon her case, and the result of their wisdom was a decision that this melancholy was not the effect of ill health, still less of secret sorrow, but but that it was a constitutional phase that He looked profoundly disappointed and ( troubled. But soon mastering bis despon y They returned to England, presented denc , y be Hopefully—— their daughter at court, and introduced “ Well, dearest Stella, although you her into all the gaieties of fashionable life. re J ect me without apparent reason, and But with no happy effect upon the spirits : r ® fuse tbe sh S^ st P™ ml3e the most of Estelle, who remained profoundly un- distant ho P e > I repeat should you in moved amid the eclat that greeted her de- *e long future, change your purpose and but.

He who quickly responded to her slightest inclination, im mediately obeyed her call. Yet when she heard his firm elastic step approaching, “ Now God have mercy on me!” she prayed, and covered her face with her hands. He entered, unannounced, and saying,- “My beautiful Stella ! I am here, you perceive, by your commands!” She dropped her hands, and revealing a face pale with misery, spoke in a thrilling, deep, impassioned tone — “ You are here by my supplication, my lord ! I have no right to command.” “We will waive that! What is your will, my dearest Stella ?” “ My prayer, my lord—is first, for your forgiveness.” “ Forgiveness l —my Stella!” “ Ay! my dear lord ! you see before you a penitent and a supplicant, who| may soon be something far more wretched !” “ My Stella ! what mean you ?” “ Come to the window, Lord Montres sor!” she said, rising and preceding him. “ Look out,” she continued, putting aside the rose-colored hangings, and revealing a view of the park below, alive with its rest less multitude. “ What are all these peo ple waiting for, my lord ?” “ What are they waiting for, my Stella ? —for that which I also wait, with how much more impatience!” he answered, while a deep flush of love and joy, for an instant, supplanted the anxiety on his face. “ They wait to see a bride pass, where a bride may never go !” she said, in a solemn voice. “ Stella! great Heaven ! what say you!” he exclaimed, gazing on her with profound astonishment. “ That the bride they expect is unworthy to stand before God’s holy altar beside Lord Montressor!” “ Unworthy, Stella ! You !” “ Most unworthy, my lord !” she said, dropping her arms, and dropping her head in an attitude of the deepest misery. “ I should have made this confession long ago, Lord Montressor but I have deceived you —I have deceived you !” “In what respect, Stella ? My God ! It cannot be! No, it cannot be ! that while betrothed to me, you do not love me !” “ Not love you ! Oh ! my dear lord /” she murmured, in a voice of thrilling ten derness that carried conviction of truth to his deepest heart. “What mean you then, dearest one ? if indeed you return my deep love.” “ Oh ! I do, I do, Montressor ; whatever happens, wherever you go, take that as surance with you ! I love you, my lord ! shall ever love you, even though even after what I shall have told you, you repulse and hate me, and go to our friends and say,-- £ That woman whom I was about to wed, is but a whited sepulchre, whom I have proved, and whom I now reject ’ — and so leave me to the scorn of men, still I say—ever shall say—l love you, Lord Montressor! I love you, and the con sciousness of being unworthy of your love is the bitterest element in my punishment,” she said, in a voice of such profound mis ery, that Lord Montressor could scarcely continue to believe her agitation unfound ed or exaggerated. He dropped upon aseat, and sitting still and white as a aarved image of stone, gazed upon her, waiting her further com munications.
