CHAPTER I.
IX the summer of 1838, in the pleas
ant little county of Huntington, and' un
der the shade of some noble' elms which
form the pride Of Lipscombe Park, two
foOng men '.might s have , been seen re-.
dining. The thick; and:towering; and
far-spreading branches under which
they lay, effectuallyprotected then]
from a July sub, which threw itsscorch
ing brilliancy over th'e whole landscape
before :.them. They - seemed to enjoy
tb"the full extent that delightful retired
opebbess'w hich an English park affords,
and that easy effortless communion
which only old companionship can
give. They were in fact, fellow col
legians: The one, Reginald Darcy; by
name, was a ward of "Mr. Sherwood,
the wealthy - proprietor of Liecombe
Park; the other !his friend, Charles
Griffith, was passing a 'few days with
him in this agreeable retreat: They
had spent a greater part of the morning
strolling, through the park, making
short journeys from one clump of trees
to another, and traversing just so much
of the open sunnyzspace which lay ex
pcfsed to all. the : 4 -bright,severity of
noon,' and . gave fresh vlue to the
Shade s , and renewed - the' luxury of re-
pose.
'Only observe, said Darcy, break
jug silence after a long pause, and with
out any apparent link of connexion:be- ' ,
tween their last topic of conversation'
and the sage reflection he was about
launch-6 , only observe, that to. have it
intimated even in, jest, that I, would
take advantage of niy position in ibis
family to pay my ridiculous addresses
to Miss Sherwood—l do declare, Grif
fith, I never will again to you, or any
other gpan, touch upon this subject, but
in the 'same strain of unmeaning levity
one is compelled tolisten to, and limo
tate-in the society of coxcombs,'
it all events,' said ; Griffith, give
me leave to say that / admire Miss,
Sherwood, and that 1 shall ; think it a
crying shame if so beautiful j and in-,
telligent a girl is suffered to(fall into
the clutches of this stupid bardnet who
is laythg seige.on her—this pompous;
empty headed Sir Frederick Peauman-
Sir. Frederick Beaumantle,' said
Darcy, with some remains '.hf humor,
may be all you describe him, but he is
very rich, and, mark rue; the will win
the lady. Old Sherwood susiectS'him
for a fool, but his extensive estates are
unineumbered : 'he will approve his
suit: - His daughter makes him a con
stant laughing-stock, she is perpetually
ridimiling his presumption and his yam
ty ;
_but she will end•'by marryfrig the
rich baronet.- It will. be in the- usual
course of things : Society' will expect
it-; and it is so safe, So ()Trident, to On
what society expects. 'Let wealth wed
with wealth. It isquite right. I would
never advise any man to marry a wo
man much richertthan himself, so as to
be indebted to her for bis position in
society. It is useless to say or to :feel,
that her wealth was not the object of
your suit. Yon may carry it how you
will—what says the old song.?
" She never will fotgeq
' The gold she gave was not thy gain, -
Bta it mast be thy debt."
But come, our host is punctual to
his dinner hour, and if we journey back'
at the same' place we have traveled:
here, we shalt not have - much time up
on our hands.' And accordingly th at
two friends set thetnselves_in mationtO
return to the house:. -

charm in Emily Sherwood. was
the delightful combination she display-
ed of a cheerful vivacious temper with
generoUs and artient - feelings. She was
as lightlmi playful as one of the fawns .
in. het%tiwn park, but' her heart respon
ded also to every noble and disinteres
ted' sentiment; and the poet who sought
a listener -for some lofty or ten,der
strain, would have , found the spirit that
he wanted in , the gay and mirth-loving
Emily Sherwood.
Poor Darcy ! he would' sit, or walk
by her side, ta:kingoof this or that, no
'atter what, always'happy in her pre
tience, passing the most delicious hours,
but, not venturing to say, by word or
look, how very
_content' he was. For
these hours of stolen happiness he
knew how severe a penalty he must
pay, he knew and brave)] it. And in
our poor judgment he was right. •Let
the secret,.stealthy, unrequited lover
enjoy to the' full extent the presence,
the siniles, - the bland and cheerful socie
ty of her i whom his heart, is silently
worshiping.'Even this shall in future
hours be a sweet remembrance. By
and by, it is true, there will come a
season of poignant affliction. But bet
ter all this than one uniform, • perpetual
tirpor.. He will have felt that mortal
man min/ breathe the air of happiness ;
he will have learned sorpething of the
human heart that lies' within him.
But all this love—was it' seen—watt
it returned—by hei,who had inspired
it ?, Both, ; both. He thought, wise
youth! that while hg-was , swallowing
'draught after draught 'of this delicious
poison, no -one perceived the deep in
toxiCation he was revelling in. - Just
as t wisely some veritable toper, by 'put
ting on a grave and demure countenance
cheats himself - into the -- belief that he
coneeals from every eye that delectable
and irresistable confusion in which his
brain is swimming. His low? .was

That iitstantanetius, that complete de
light which he felt when she joined him

nor mistaken. He. was's scholar, a
reader and a lover of books, hutlet the

mantle was announced, and immediate
ly afterwards, Capt. Garland.
Miss ••Sherwood, somewhat to g the
surprise of Darcy, who was not aware
that any such intimacy subsisted be
tween them, received Capt. -Garland
with all the cordiality of an - old' ac
`quaintance. On the other hand she
introduced the baronet-to Miss Danvers
with that slightly emphatic manner
which intimates that the parties may
entertain a high consideration for
each other. •
Yon are too good a herald, Sir
Frederick,' she said, opt to know the
Danverses of Dorset:shire
&I shall be proud, replied the baro
net, • to make the acquaintance of Miss
Danvers.'
She has come to my poor castle,'
continued Miss Sherwood, like the
distress princess in .the Faery Queen,
and I must look out for Soma red-cross
knight to'he her champion, and redress
her wrongs.'
