The Heiress Companion
“After claiming Miss Cherwood as a cherished acquaintance, with many ill-pronounced phrases in French to back this claim, she proceeded to give Rowena a complete histoire of the family since their last meeting. As the tale was mostly comprised of a listing of every beau with whom Eliza had danced at the Bath assemblies, with animadversions upon “Poor Jane’s misfortunate engagement,” and “Lully’s shocking luck at cards,” it is not wonderful that Miss Cherwood shortly was overwhelmed with a desire... to escape. Eliza was finishing her monologue with a flowery prayer that Miss Cherwood would be as desirous as she of regaining their former intimacy, when she espied Lyndon Bradwell across the room and rather hurriedly took her leave. As this saved Rowena from making the admission that the only intimacy she could recall was when she had helped Ulysses to lock Eliza in the milking shed one afternoon, she was more than happy to let the girl go.
Ulysses, deprived of Margaret’s smiles for a moment, returned to Rowena’s side, murmuring an adjuration that she was not to take anything his sister said too seriously.MoreLess
