  • “My dear Alicia, of what a mistake were you guilty in marrying a man of his age! Just old enough to be formal, ungovernable, and to have the gout; too old to be agreeable, too young to die.” “There is exquisite pleasure in subduing an insolent spirit, in making a person pre-determined to dislike, acknowledge one's superiority.”“I shall ever despise the man who can be gratified by the passion which he never wished to inspire, nor solicited the avowal of.”“There is something agreeable in feelings so easily worked on; not that I envy him their possession, nor would, for the world, have such myself; but they are very convenient when one wishes to influence the passions of another.” “I am tired of submitting my will to the caprices of others—of resigning my own judgement in deference to those to whom I owe no duty, and for whom I feel no respect.” “wether I ought not to punish him by dismissing him at once after this reconciliation, or by marrying and teazing him for ever.” Her anxiety on the subject made her press for an early visit to London;and Mr. Vernon, who, as it must already have appeared, lived only to do whatever he wasdesired, soon found some accommodating business to call him thither. With a heart full ofthe matter, Mrs. Vernon waited on Lady Susan shortly after her arrival in town, and was metwith such an easy and cheerful affection, as made her almost turn from her with horror. Noremembrance of Reginald, no consciousness of guilt, gave one look of embarrassment; shewas in excellent spirits, and seemed eager to show at once by ever possible attention to herbrother and sister her sense of their kindness, and her pleasure in their society. Fredericawas no more altered than Lady Susan; the same restrained manners, the same timid look inthe presence of her mother as heretofore, assured her aunt of her situation beinguncomfortable, and confirmed her in the plan of altering it. No unkindness, however, on thepart of Lady Susan appeared. Persecution on the subject of Sir James was entirely at anend; his name merely mentioned to say that he was not in London; and indeed, in all herconversation, she was solicitous only for the welfare and improvement of her daughter,acknowledging, in terms of grateful delight, that Frederica was now growing every day moreand more what a parent could desire. Mrs. Vernon, surprized and incredulous, knew notwhat to suspect, and, without any change in her own views, only feared greater difficulty inaccomplishing them. The first hope of anything better was derived from Lady Susan'sasking her whether she thought Frederica looked quite as well as she had done atChurchhill, as she must confess herself to have sometimes an anxious doubt of London'sperfectly agreeing with her. Mrs. Vernon, encouraging the doubt, directly proposed herniece's returning with them into the country. Lady Susan was unable to express her sense ofsuch kindness, yet knew not, from a variety of reasons, how to part with her daughter; andas, though her own plans were not yet wholly fixed, she trusted it would ere long be in herpower to take Frederica into the country herself, concluded by declining entirely to profit bysuch unexampled attention. Mrs. Vernon persevered, however, in the offer of it, and thoughLady Susan continued to resist, her resistance in the course of a few days seemedsomewhat less formidable. The lucky alarm of an influenza decided what might not havebeen decided quite so soon. Lady Susan's maternal fears were then too much awakenedfor her to think of anything but Frederica's removal from the risk of infection; above alldisorders in the world she most dreaded the influenza for her daughter's constitution!
