DECISION.

CHAPTER L

More than half a century has now elapsed, since a party,
assembled round the tea-table of Mrs. Falconer, were busy
in commenting on the conduct, and lamenting the ruin, of
one of their acquaintance, once a wealthy manufacturer in
the neighboring town of B ‘

The topic was discussed (as such things usually are) with
different views of the case, according to the original char-
acters or the relative situations of the speakers, nearly all
of whom had, in their own persons or their connections,
some sympathies with the party, except the lady of the
house, whose attention was at this moment given rathef to
the hospitable attentions due to her guests than the subject
of their discussion ; but her little daughter, a child of about
eleven years old, who was generally too much of a romp to
confine herself in the drawing-room, yet too intelligent to
suffer any thing interesting to escape her when there, was
observed to glance her bright eye from one speaker to
another, and shake back the profusion of long ringlets which
covered her neck, with an eagerness to catch every sound,
that indicated how much her mind was employed on the,
subject. = *

“Mr. Williams was imprudent; he trusted the house of

Burns and Son too far, lost a great deal, and could never
recover it,” ‘said one.

« How should he ?” said another, “since the expenses of
his family were not lessened, and they were just at that
period when young people are inevitably expensive.”

“ Yes, indeed —they kept much company, dressed well, ;
and were seen every where,” observed a third. “Had Mrs.
Williams been prudent, I think something might have been
done to save them from this total overthrow.”

“Poor woman!” exclaimed a Mrs. Brice, who was her-
self the mother of a large family, “what could she do, I
wonder 2? Whilstgwe live in the world, we must mix with the
world; and the petty savings she could have made by any
system of more rigid economy, at a time when her young
people were forming counections, and getting out in the
world, could not overbalance the remarks to which she
would have subjected them — indeed, such conduct would
have injured her husband’s credit, and brought on his ruin
sooner.” _

“So much the better,” said several gentlemen; but the
lady continued her assertions»

“Say what you please, but there are a thousand little
things one must do, and must have, which, strictly speaking,
are not necessary: every wife must seek to sustain her
husband’s credit; every mother must set off her children,
and see them maintain their due rank in society; to my own
knowledge, Mrs. Williams was a good manager, and never
spent a guinea, or ventured on any extra expenditure, but
where it was imperatively called for.”

The warmth and feeling with which this was uttered, by
a woman who was a model of propriety in her own conduct,
silenced, even where it did not convince, and murmuring
sounds of pity were succeeding those of blame, when a
cynical bachelor, who had not yet spoken, cried out, in

” tone yet more decisive than the lady’s,— | |
“ Fiddle faddle! — there is nothing imperative but duty.”
In another moment, the lately ebbing flow of words



DECISION. 7

returned, and amounted almost to clamorous opposition of
Mr. Elderton’s assertion : “ It is fine talking!” “What ean a
bachelor know about a family?” “Harsh judgments ill be-
conie the fortnnate,” were heard on all sides; and so many
condemnatory sentences, and more condemnatory ‘glances,
" were thrown on the gentleman, that he became an object of
pity to the child, who repeated his words over to herself, to.
examine whether they were in themselves offensive, or ren-
dered so by the sharp and somewhat contemptuous tone in
which they were uttered. The result of this examination
induced her to believe that the sentiment was right, for it
accorded with all her mamma had taught her — she drew
near to his chair, and after a short hesitation said, “Then
what ought Mr. and Mrs. Williams to have done ?”

Mr. Elderton was not aware from whom the soft female
voice proceeded, but he answered with that quickness and
promptitude which rendered his manners too frequently
unpleasant — “Since they had lost money, and become ‘poor,
they should have resolved at once to seem poor ; have reduced
their establishment, directed the views of their children to
situations more humble, but of course more easily attained;
by which means, they would have secured assistance from
their industry, instead of increased expense from their un-
warranted accomplishments. They should have stepped
down a little lower in life, until they were able to regain
their place honorably, instead of holding it in misery, by
ruinous expedients, until they were thrown far, far be-
low it.”

When Mr. Elderton ceased speaking, he became aware
who had been his questioner, and that the smile of derision
had banished the frown of anger from several countenances.
Sensible that he had spoken in too grave a tone, when re-
plying to so young and playful a querist, his countenance
changed; he drew her kindly towards him, and said, half
whisperingly, “ Well, Maria, how much of my long speech
do you remember ?”

“J remember it all, though I can’t repeat it.”



8 DECISION.

« And how much of it do you understand ?”

“A great deal, sir; and I hope —I intend” ——

“ To listen to my advice — hey ?”

“ Indeed I do —1 will say to myself every morning, * Duty
is imperative.’ ”

“Very good—but, Maria, pray what are the wperative
duties which you are, 1 take it, at this very moment pre-
scribing to that little curious heart of yours ?”

Maria’s countenance answered, in the first instance, by a
deep blush; but on casting ber eyes around, and perceiving
that every person was engaged with talking, or tea-drink-
ing, her tongue also found the power of reply, and she an-
swered, —

“] think itis my duty not to lament dear Sharon-Lacey, in
Ireland, and the pretty gardens, and the bounds, and the
people —and not to run about so wildly —nor play by ear
instead of notes, and to take more pains in reading French.”

« And how will you manage to fulfil this very good cata-
logue of your present duties ?”

“ How ? why, by setting a good resolution, by doing every
thing in the world that can inake my mamma happy. Is
that the meaning of all you said ?”

“ Precisely — you have given even a better comment than
Trim’s on the fifth commandment, upon my opinion — ha,
ha, ha! you are a good girl, a very good girl; I will teach you
German next year ; you shall read Goéthe and Gesuer some
time, that you shall, Maria.”

Mr. Elderton’s mother was a German: as a merchant, his
connectious lay principally in that country, to which he had
long made annual visits, and for which he was thought to
have an overweening partiality. Maria had learnt sufficient
of these circumstances to make her aware that, in’ his
opinion, the praise given was high, and the offer made
valuable, and she was at that happy age when all such offers
_are literally construed ; she thanked him eagerly and warm-
ly — placing, as she spoke, both her hands in his, by way of
sealing the contract as well as claiming the promise 5, for’

DECISION. 9

she conceived, though she could not define it, an idea that
she was to fulfil her own duties according to her own sense
of them, and to be rewarded by the friendship and the
mstruction of Mr. Elderton.

The party around, and indeed the whole circle of their
acquaintance, would have said poor Elderton, a confirmed
bachelor, with harsh features, repelling voice, stiff, curled
queue-wig, full suit of buckram-lined brown, and a whole
train of foreign peculiarities and unbending brusquerie
about him, was the last man on earth to attach a child —
especially a child of Maria’s description; a gay, spoiled,
Jaughter-loving little Hebe, with all the naiveté and untamed
drollery of a wild Irish girl, tempered alone by that ardent
sensibility of nature, and enthusiastic love of ber parents,
which might be supposed to render the cold lessons and
severe countenance of her grave friend peculiarly appalling.

Yet it is certain that from this time Maria did hold Mr.
Elderton’s memory in most affectionate respect: she was
insensibly flattered by thinking that he thought her worthy
a rational answer, and feeling the force of his assertions.
She was a child of strong mind and vivid conceptions, Till
within a few months, she might have been said to exist only
on her heart, which had expanded its young and glowing
affections on every living thing in its cirele, which were
loved and nourished by her with an intensity of regard that
made her soon acquainted not jess with sorrow than joy.
But at this period, her mind was claiming to be heard also:
the change of situation, the increase of company, and the
distinctness of character that company bore, — above all, the
diminished style of her father’s household, and the frequent
solicitude on her mother’s mild countenance, — alike led her
to think. It is, however, certain that no previous circumstance
or conversation had ever induced so many reflections in
Maria’s mind as those of the present evening ; and there
were times when she was on the point of saying to her
mother, “Why have we only two men instead of five?

“

and two horses instead of four? Is it the custom in Eng-
land for gentlemen to have counting-houses instead of
hunting parties, or are we beginning to be poor, like Mr.
Williams ?” — but unbounded tenderness and intuitive deli-
cacy forbade her to speak, and she happily turned her medi-
tations to those objects in her own education, which a pru-
dent and elegant mother was constantly pointing out to her
attention



DECISION. ll

CHAPTER II.

Mr. Fatconer was, or rather had been, a country gentle-
man in the north of Ireland, where his ancestors had long
flourished in the midst of an attached tenantry, thankful for
their residence, and proud of their merit. His. , it is
true, had early in life made a trip to Bath, which ioned
a mortgage on his estate; but he brought thence a wife
whose future fortunes repaired it, and he determined, in
consequence of this error, to bring up this his only son at
home, and so imbue his mind with the love of hb oo
so satisfy his desire of pleasure by the indulgences fi
procure him, that the mania of spending his estate 1
land, which was even then a very prevalent one, should
never affect the head of his beloved Carlos.

Year after year passed on, and the cares of parental soli-
citude appeared to attain their object. The youth became
unrivalled as a sportsman, seldom sighed even for a winter
in Dublin, and had the further merit of entefing -with the
utmost ardor into the various schemes for bettering’ ie
estates, which now employed the riper years of his father —

12 DECISION.

A terrible accident deprived Mr. Falconer of his excellent
father a few months after his minority had passed, and
might be said to give his mother a death-blow at the same
time ; since she never afterwards recovered her spirits, or
enjoyed her health. To assist her efforts, they now made a
trip to England, crossing to Chester, and thence proceeding
to Blackpool, where they remained some time. Here the
sorrows of the truly mourning son were consoled by the
passion which a beautiful orphan inspired, who was then
lamenting the death of her mother, and had been, brought
by her guardian to this place for that. change of scene, and
relief of mind, which they also sought,

Carlos was handsome, frank, ingenuous, attentive, and at
this period interesting in no common degree; he was also
of ancient family, unsullied character, large, independent
property ; of course the young creature to whom he paid

» his devoirs, and who was scarcely more than a child, and
her pruderi guardian, were alike pleased with him,.and his

e oe r was not less pleased with them. ‘The, only deficiency

| od, in this case, was, the want of some difficulty, to
conquer, some trouble to go through, by which the busy,,
bustling, active Carlos could be employed, A journey with
the guardian over great part of North Wales, followed by
another to Sharon-Lacey, supplied this deficiency, after
which, the truly impatient bridegroom had the felicity of
conducting his’ bride thither also, who, even then, had not
attained her sixteenth year.

Mrs. Falconer was exquisitely beautiful, but, so delicate
that she resembled an exotic plant unfit to bear change to a
less genial atmosphere ; and it soon. became evident, to her
idolizing hushand and. his tender mother, that the wide, hos,
pitalities. so long established at Sharon-Lacey could not, be
sustained by her. In. consequence, to a certain degree they
were diminished ; but as Mr, Falconer was not.a reading
man, in proportion as he was withdrawn from company, he
engaged the more in field sports, which pursuit gave. way.
by degrees to a passion for improvement, which he pushed



DECISION. 13

without the knowledge attained by experience, or even con-
nected with the theories offered by others, to an extent
which soon became alarming, dnd combined with previous
circumstances to bring his mother to the grave, at the period
when her jointure became necessary for his relief.

By this time he had become immersed in schemes which
took such entire possession of his mind, that he might be
said to grow rich in imagination, in proportion as he was
poor in purse; and his young wife listened with artless, un-
questioning simplicity to his golden dreams for a consider-
able time, happy in his happiness, and more than contented
with the personal comforts and unsparing indulgences
with which his love and his thoughtlessness alike supplied
her. The sorrows and death of his mother, and his eager
appropriation of that mother’s property, notwithstanding his
sincere regret, opened her eyes, and she endeavored to win
him from pursuing phantoms which might end in ruin ; and,
as it was necessary for them both to visit England on ac-
count of her coming of age, she appeared to have cree
prospect of sticeeeding in her wishes.

A large sum of money in the funds, and an extensive,
ancient, but not very productive estate, were now put into
the hands of this young couple, and unhappily the wedding
settlement of the lady was also intrusted to her own keep-
ing. Mr. Falconer entered on his new possessions with
apparent wisdom, for he stopped suddenly all-his former
projects, whether good or bad, made a considerable reform
in his establishment, observing (perhaps justly) “that a rich
man may do what a poor one dare not,” and then bade his
wife farewell, and returned again to her property in Wales.

He had taken it into his head that a mountain on this
estate, whose only merit had hitherto been that of a sheep-
walk, would prove to him a mine rich as Peruvia’s, in the
product of iron ore; and so much was he bent on this
pursuit, that he resolved to sacrifice every other scheme for
its attainment.

To this end, he now resigned the company of a lovely

2



14 DECISION.

and beloved wife, who was to him, and found in him, all
the relations of life, and the endearing prattle of a sweet
infant, — in whose very appearance he would have found a
useful monitor, reminding him of her claims as the heir of
two ancient inheritances, and as a female unallied and
unprotected save by himself.

But, alas! every schemer is a gambler, not originally
moved by the same avarice, but certainly acted upon by the
same impetus. Falconer in domestic life was a warm
friend, a generous master, a noble landlord, an affectionate
husband; but when he escaped that sacred circle, his pre-
vailing passion exerted over him the influence ascribed to
demoniac possession, and carried him “ whithersoever it
would.” There was no fatigue too great for him to en-
counter, no scheme too wild for him to adopt, if it for-
warded his end — and, by the same rule, no expense too ex-
orbitant for him to adventure. So much “had appetite
increased e’en by the meat it fed on,” that in changing the
subject, he only confirmed the propensity, which by this
time had nearly swallowed up every other predilection, and
become not less his amusement than his business.

Iron ore was indeed found, but it produced no golden
harvest, and required a larger capital than our unfortunate
projector could now command ; and as the working of his
mine naturally led him to an acquaintance with those who
were likely to purchase iron, he became necessarily much
connected with that town in which the most was consumed,
and, after the lapse of a few years, formed a partnership with
two persons whom he justly conceived better acquainted
with the commercial part of his undertaking than himself.
These years had been spent by Mrs. Falconer in great
anxiety and comparative solitude, for she had been with-
out the company of him whom she held as dear to her
heart, as attractive to her sight, as he had ever been. It will
be naturally concluded that, in such a situation, her child had
enjoyed a paramount place in the consideration of the
young moiher ; and chat, although in some respects nlama-



DECISION. 15

bly indulged, yet, as being the constant companion and
pupil of her mother, the partaker of her cares'and charities,
her gentle control over numerous dependants, her hos-
pitable receptions of noble and enlightened visitants, she
had imbibed an exercise of heart and understanding, an
attachment to her mother, which went beyond the common
ties of nature, as they are felt by affectionate children in
general.

The hurrying visits of Mr. Falconer to his own house, the
deep solicitude too generally impressed at this period upon
nis countenance, and the consternation in which all around
appeared left after his departure, would undoubtedly have
tended to render his presence productive of pain rather
than pleasure to Maria, if she had not witnessed the more
than happiness with which her mamma beheld him, and the
overwhelming sorrow which followed his departures, and
which she attributed simply to the fact of his going to
England, which she therefore considered a very naughty
place, and reprobated with all the warmth of her country
and the simplicity of her age.

At length the time arrived when: it became necessary for
them all to remove thither. Sharon-Lacey, long mortgaged
to. its utmost value, became the property of one who had
freely supplied the speculating improver to this very end,
and consoled himself at those moments when his conscience
reproved him for the removal of an old and highly-estimated
family, by observing “ that as there was no son, the name of
Falconer would in the course of a few years inévitably
perish, and antedating that event was of no great momeuit.”

When the time came, the heart of Falconer was indeed
wounded, but he felt called upon as a husband to support».
his wife, who, although willing to return to her native cotip=
try under circumstances of diminished importance, me
desirous of embracing any situation which secured his. -
society, could not witness the bitter sorrow of her Irish
peasantry, and hear the lamentations of her servants, with-

out acute suffering. Rich and poor, old and young, poured
in upon them with that genuine fulness of sympathy, that
mixed language of grief, reproach, and entreaty, which
spoke an interest in their future welfare, a remembrance of
past favors, and indignation towards their supposed enemies,
indicating all the intense feelings that agitate the genuine
Irishman, and which the present circle felt they had the
more right to express, because Mr. Falconer had been
destined from his birth to live and die amongst them by his
still-lamented father.

Yet a sense of what was due to “ his honor,” in what they
deemed “his day of sorrow,” and still more their deep
respect for his gentle lady, somewhat restrained their jntru-
sion; but whilst the aged people hung round their horses’
necks, and the young ones sought, by rendering themselves
useful, to show the last fond services of hearts which could
only endure their feelings by expressing them through some
medium, many gathered round the child, on whom they
gazed with an admiration that was almost idolatry, and de
plored, as if she were a victim appointed to sacrifice.

“Ah! it’s little your honored grandfather looked to such
a day as this, my swate crature! — but it’s like ye’ll come
back to your place, lady, in due time, and then you'll remem-
ber the childer if my head be laid —becase they’re all your
own to the thing in my arms —look up, Sheely dare, and
make your obadience to miss.”

“Hold your tongue, wife; what for would ye break the
heart o’ the angel? Is’nt the eyes of her running over all
day wi’ laving the birds, and the hounds, and the childer,
and the foals, that she fed wi her own beautiful hands ?
O, blessing on the hour she’ll reign over us.”

If those who help us in the day of distress are dear to ys,
still more dear are those we have assisted; and as poor
little Maria heard the blessings called on her head, from lips
that had hailed her approach on the bed of sickness, or in
the hour of want, she felt as if they were so dear to her so



DECISION. 1?

entwined with her earliest recollections, and her happiest
moments, that her very heart was breaking under the pain
of separation.

Indeed, she was so terribly affected at the last, that Mr
Falconer was obliged to carry her in his arms to the car-
riage; and nothing less powerful than the sight of her
mother’s tears could have induced her to make the efforts
to overcome her sorrow, necessary for her own health and
the comfort of her alarmed parents. Novelty of scene at
length roused that curiosity so natural to her age, and suc-
ceeded in effecting the cure of her grief; yet it was by slow
degrees, and with many relapses, that she returned to that
composure of spirits which enabled her to enjoy the new,
and, of course, attractive scenes which were offered in their
journey from Scotland (where they landed) to the distant
town of B ;

Mr. Falconer had, with due attention to the health, habits,
and taste, of his lady, procured her a house about two miles
out of town, which had been very handsomely furnished by
the cares of Mrs. Ingalton, his partner’s wife ; was surround-
ed by the necessary appendages of a gentleman’s house on a
small scale; and certainly possessed in its narrow bounds
many comforts, and even elegances, which would have been
looked for in vain either in the old rambling manor-house
Where she was born in Wales, or the turreted, but of late
neglected, walls of Sharon-Lacey. The wife was still young
enough to conform her taste to circumstances; and in pos-
sessing the husband from whom she had been so much divi-
ded, and assuring herself of his undiminished affection, she
felt thankful for the change in her situation, and ventured to
look forward with hope to brighter prospects, as offered by
her still sanguine husband. Maria was now not Jess willing
to be pleased, but the novelties around were by no means
agreeable. She said, “the pretty rooms were only like large
closets, the garden itself was only a great carpet —there was
no orchard, ~ dairy, no long room for dances. above all, no





18 DECISION.

aviary nor greenhouse, and when you looked out of the will-
dows, there was only one green meadow on the other side of
a broad, dusty road — no river — no mountains, nor even a
common with huts upon it; there were neither children nor
pigs as far as she could see, nor any thing to be kind to
whatever.”

All these wants were forgotten the following Christmas,
when her father brought home a little Welsh girl, the daugh-
ter of a respectable man whom he had employed there, and
who had bequeathed her and the few hundreds he had saved
to the care of a master whom he justly deemed honorable and
liberal. She was about a year older than Maria, pretty, art-
less, gentle, and affectionate, but little informed, and wholly
devoid of accomplishment. It was the great joy of Maria’s
heart to give and to love, and she seized on Ellen Powis in a
twofold sense, for the purpose of expending upon her all the
good in her power. The aid bestowed on the lovely little
orphan was returned sevenfold in her own improvement —
the little madcap Irish and the untaught Welsh girl became
every day more attached to each other, and so forward in
their education as to attract the admiration of all who knew
them.

This was at present, perbaps, rather a sensible than a
polished circle — few old families resided in the immediate
neighborhood of a manufacturing town; but the only two
who came under this description, and who had always held
themselves aloof from all connection with the inhabitants of
B——, (whatever their wealth or local influence,) visited
Mrs. Falconer immediately on her arrival, and treated her
not less with marked respect as one of themselves, than with
that affectionate interest her person, maaners, and situation,
were calculated to excite. These were General and Mrs.
Birchett, an elderly couple, whose children were dispersed
by marriage and profession abroad in the world, and Sir
James and Lady Trevannion, a young couple, married within
a year or two, of amiable manners and good disposition, al-



DECISION. 19

thougl. continuing to hold a strong line of demarkation with
their plebeian neighborhood, which returned with interest
every indication of pride or contempt.

The first name in the house with which Mr. Falconer had
joined himself was Mayton, a gay bachelor ; the third, as we
already have observed, was Ingalton, a man of mild, unassu-
ming deportment, married to an amiable, lady-like woman,
who had made him the happy father of a promising family.
The first partner travelled much, as they had an extensive
iron foundry in Sweden; the last in the firm managed their
affairs at home, for which he was well calculated in every
respect, save the delicacy of his general health. Mr. Falco-
ner held a middle station, as having too little knowledge for
a leader, yet being too important to be placed last; and re-
duced as his fortune really was, he yet brought with him a
reénforcement of money, which was of great consequence to
the house, and was magnified so much by report, that he
now entered on his new station under circumstances not less
flattering to his self-love than to those hopes it was his error
and misfortune to indulge.

CHAPTER Il

Ir will be evident that our little heroine, for some time at
least, would exchange one set of flatterers for another, and
would move the queen of a new empire, perhaps more seduc-
tive than the last, since she was frequently made the medium
of paying court to her mother by those ladies of B
who were desirous of classing themselves in the highest cir-
cle of society their country boasted. Mothers wished to see
their daughters possess the same graceful agility, the same
unaffected dignity, and artless witchery, which made her
beauty but a second charm in Maria, and which even a Lon-
don education at a great expense did not impart to their dar-
lings ; but these advances rarely led to any thing that could
be termed intimacy with mother or daughter. Mrs. Falconer
really loved Mrs. Ingalton, and she was amused by the so-
ciety of Lady Trevannion; and with them, and the busy, live-
ly companions who were always with her, she was content.
The circumstances of her married life, added to her early loss
of friends, had impressed a pensive character, a meek, but
constant solicitude, on her spirits, which made the glare and
bustle of life rather painful than pleasurable to her; she loved
society, but she disliked parade, and the beauty and elegance
which rendered her an object of’ unbounded admiration
never affected her in any way incompatible with this love of
retirement, and her continued devotion to a husband whose
fine person, and frank and graceful manners, she now saw to
more advantage than ever, in a circle where they were un-
rivalled. |

From the period in which we introduced Maria, until she





DECISION. 21

completed her fifteenth year, nothing occurred worthy of no-
tice, except the fact that she really claimed the promise of
Elderton, and notwithstanding a decided predilection for
music and a passion for reading, which often encroached
upon the hours devoted to rest, she yet engaged in learning
the German language with such avidity and perseverance as
to render her a delightful pupil. At a time when her mind
was fully occupied with this pursuit, and she was enabled to
enter with a high relish into the beauties of the German
poets, Mrs. Falconer mentioned an intention of sending Ellen
Powis for a couple of years to a superior school.

“ School, dear mother! you forget that she is older than
[, because she happens to be less.”

“ No, my love, I do not; she is precisely at the age when a
sensible, reflecting girl will really derive benefit from the
lessons she will receive. Ellen has a very small fortune, and
itis desirable that she should improve it, which she might
do in the most respectable manner if her education were
more complete.”

“She will want no fortune; she will live with us, you know.
I always thought she came here to Be my friend and sister as
long as we lived.”

“ But when your mother assures you, Maria, that it will be
better and happier for Ellen to render herself independent,
and adds the information, that Lady Trevannion will take her
as governess to her little girls, and treat her (you are certain)
most kindly, you will see, Maria, that”

“T see only that —that you wish it, mamma,” said Maria,
rushing out of the room to hide her tears, every trace of
which were, however, banished when she next saw Ellen, lest
that which she considered bad news should add to her afflic-
tion. For this, however, Ellen had been prepared ; for whis-
pers had met her ear, never offered to that of the daughter,
and she was aware that the plan was every way eligible, and
embraced it as a part of those unbounded kindnesses which
had been showered upon her ever since she entered the
family. She departed, and Maria felt as if half her world
was taken from her.





Q2 DECISION.

It will be evident that Ellen had in a great measure sup
plied to Maria that portion of her mother’s society which
was tiow necessarily given to her father, and on her aly
sence, the mother and daughter insensibly resumed their
former situation with each other. Mr. Falconer was much
engaged, for Mr. Mayton now resided wholly abroad, and
his management there had been of late extremely unpro-
ductive. Mr. Ingalton’s health had become so bad as’ to
render him unequal to all exertion; and as his eldest son was
gone to the East Indies, he had, to the great grief of his
wife, recalled Frank, his second son, (who had bee intended
for the church) from the university, to assist him in the count-
ing-house.

Mr. Falconer was really sorry for this youth, and opposed
the change in his destination as long as he was able; he
was just nineteen, and devoted to literary pursuit with all
the ardor generally experienced at that period of life, com-
bined with high intellect, fine imagination, a soul attunéd by
piety to every pure and lofty association, and that happy
mixture of playful fancy and pensive reflection, which ren-
dered him well calculated for giving charms to a gay hour,
and interest to a sad one. ' ;

Toa young man with such habits and desires as Frank
had been permitted from his cradle to indulge, this unex-
pected mandate appeared a sentence cruel as death ; and so
much was he overwhelmed by it, that the weak constitution
and parental affection of his father rendered him in¢apable
of insisting on the sacrifice, and Frank would have ¢arried
his point but for the irresistible pleadings of his niother.
“ Your brother,” said she, “has left his country, probably for
life; your father may linger long, but he will never be re-
stored; and what will become of your mother and three
sisters, if you persist in pursuing a profession, where, even
if you are successful, it is utterly unlikely that you ‘can
assist us.” |

When Mr. Falconer retailed this conversation at homie,
and added that poor Frank had yielded to his mother’s en-



DECISION. 23

ireatien, Mrs. Falconer praised him highly, and said, “ she
was impatient to know him;” Maria observed only “he had
done his duty,” but she soon afterwards said, “yet surely
there can be no occasion to distress him thus; for when
his father dies, he must be rich enough to provide for his
widow and daughters.”

No answer was returned, but her mother sighed deeply,
and her father appeared restless and alarmed; she recol-
lected lately seeing the former in tears one morning on en-
tering her dressing-room, and that, in reply to her inquiries,
she had uttered some very extraordinary words, indicating a
sense of unworthy conduct on her own mind. Maria
thought something must be wrong, but hoped she should
soon see it relieved; she was at least certain that “ weak
nerves,” a disorder then as much in every one’s mouth as
“ bilious complaints ” are now, must be the sole cause of her
mother’s self-accusation.

From this time, however, Mrs. Falconer’s spirits and
health were much affected, and were so much worse, ap-
parently, when Maria more particularly attended to her, that
she was earnestly requested to for every mark of pecu-
liar tenderness, and’@ndeavor by every possible means to
divert her from all subjects of thought. As, however, nothing
could induce the patient either to seek the common relief
offered by a watering-place, or to plunge into promiscuous
society, Mr. Falconer invited young Ingalton to spend every
moment he could spare from his new and to him disgust-
ing duties with them; as he found that quiet society af-
forded more regular relief)to his wife’s spirits than any
more violent stimulus, and next to Mrs. Ingalton she prized
the society of her son Francis.

In fact, the very dejection of this young man was benefi-
cial. to those who conversed with him, since it induced them
to soothe and enliven a mind which well merited their kind-
ness, and would richly repay their endeavors to unfold its
stores. In a short time Maria forgot her loss in Ellen’s
society, saw with gratitude the relief her mother experi-

enced, and that tne more deep though less constant oppres
sion which had of late been visible in her father’s manners
again gave way to that sanguine temperament which was
natural to him. It was difficult to say whether this disposi-
tion in Mr. Faleoner was more to be lamented or rejoiced
over ; unquestionably it had induced him to engage in peril-
ous enterprises, and pursue unwise objects; but it also pre-
served him, generally speaking, in such a flow of spirits, that
his exertions continued unparalyzed amidst losses and vexa-
tions of the most enervating nature, and his temper remained
pleasant and cheerful to his own household. Unlike many
domestic despots who imbitter the prosperity they be-
stow by the tyranny of their tempers, poor Falconer went
step by step to ruin, with the bustling gayety of one who
was accumulating possessions, and the affectionate indul-
gence of a heart that thought it could never bestow too much
on the objects of its affection.

Consistent with this disposition, he was in the habit of
eoncealing all painful circumstances as much as _ possible
from his wife, and whegp, from time to time, she discovered
them, he still insisted that she would.keep them from her
daughter; but as all parties were by nature little calculated
for disguise, many things inevitably crept out, which, with-
out exciting any great alarm, yet drew the mind of Maria
from subjects of elegant occupation to reflection of a pain-
ful nature, but which tended greatly to strengthen her mind,
expand her views of existence, and, above all, to lead her
to religious exercise of thought, and that faith which is the
only certain support of the soul. Endued with acute feel-
ing, a vivid imagination, ardent affections, a fine taste for all
that is beautiful in nature and excellent in art, a contempt
for all meanness, an utter abhorrence of vice, — and freed, by,
the peculiar circumstances in which her life had been spent,
alike from the vulgar pride of wealth and the less repulsive |
but equally strong prejudices which she imbibed from her
birth, as the sole representative of two ancient families, —
there was in her character something romantic, independ-

ent, and almost eccentric, so far as it was developed in con-.
versation ; but in her complete devotedness to her mother,
ber more than sisterly attachment to Ellen, her enthusiastic
love of music, which amounted, perhaps, to a passion, those
who associated with her saw only a most amiable and ac-
complished as well as beautiful girl.

Mr. Elderton had been a long time abroad, in consequence
of having much extended his business on the continent,
about the period of which we speak. On his return, finding
that poor Ingalton was on the point of death, and that many
unpleasant reports were stirring respecting the house, which
his own knowledge of Mayton’s conduct was calculated to
confirm, he bent his steps towards Mr. Falconer’s house the
first evening he could spare. On his way he was overtaken
by Maria, on horseback, who greeted him with all the joyful
warmth so prominent in her character. On looking up, he
saw, With surprise, how much time had improved her during
his absence, for she had grown considerably, and her slight
but graceful and finished form was seen to advantage in her
close habit; nor did her plumed hat less become her ani-
mated and beautiful face. Mr@Elderton’s gaze brought
blushes into her ¢heeks—or was it not the inquiry as to
who was the young gentleman, her companion ?

“Tt is Frank Ingalton,” said Maria, in a low voice — “ poor
fellow, he was obliged, much against his inclination, to leave
Oxford, and take his father’s place in the counting-house:
it was very hard upon him, but he is really good, and has
consented to give himself up to trade —”

“ Which he pursues by riding about with you,” said the
old gentleman, in his usual dry, satirical vein.

“He pursues it,” returned Maria, haughtily, “as every
man ought to do. I was taking my usual airing, met him,
and induced him to take my groom’s horse.”

The account would have been perfectly satisfactory to
her old friend, but for the torrent of blushes, and the angry,
yet somewhat timid, tone in which it was uttered. Mr.
Elderton pursued his way, spent the evening with the

“



‘26 DECISION.

‘family, and walked home with the young man, who, he
‘confessed to himself; was indeed (for that neighborhood)
‘quite a paragon, but, he yet internally maintained, “ought
-never to think of Maria.”

Again and again he met them, and closely observed the
‘conduct of Frank, whose evenings were usually enlivened
‘by running over, if but for a single hour, to Mr. Falconer’s :
‘when by chance he did not come, it was evident that
Maria’s mind was estranged, her instrument was out of tune,
‘her voice affected by the air: the books she had lately read
‘were all of his recommending; the letter she had been
‘writing to Ellen was: filled with anecdotes which he had
irélated, or traits of virtue and sensibility which he had ex-
‘hibited. It appeared evident to the awakened mind of her
‘old friend, that Maria had decidedly imbibed that passion
‘which would give color to her future existence; but he knew
‘not whether the total indifference evinced on the subject by
-her, parents arose from a concurrence with the wishes of
ithe young people, caused by their evidently deep regard for
young ‘Ingalton, or from the pressure of more affecting,
ithough suppressed objects of anxiety, acting upon their
‘spirits and preventing due attention to one of so much
:moment.

‘The pate, ‘interesting countenance of Frank, and his
| pensive modesty of manners still continuing, were an assur-
‘ance at length to Mr. Elderton “that he had never told his
‘love ;” for there would have been moments when even the
most anxious son, the most prudent tradesman, must have
betrayed that triumphant sense of happiness, the possession
of such a heart as Maria’s would inevitably bestow, espe-
cially on one whose sensibility was evidently acute. “ Per-
haps,” he would say, “after all, there is nothing in this inter-
course beyond that of an attached sisterly regard, on Maria’s
part, felt for one -who acts as a brother to her, and a son to
her parents; and the young man’s mind may have been so
wedded to his books, that even the charms and accomplish-
ments of Maria’ failed to affect him when he was a stranger,

and she is now become familiar to him as a friend; if
so, they will be saved from a foolish match, and I have
nothing to tremble for in the future fate of my pretty
favorite.”

Yet he soon did tremble; for Ellen returned, and she, too,
was improved in person and manners, though in his eyes
every way inferior to Maria, who hailed her appearance with
all the fondness of infancy, and that soft, languid tenderness
of joy, which was indicative of a heart oppressed by the
fulness of its own unanalyzed feelings, and which gave to
friendship, which it was proud to express, the character of
that passion it was as yet unauthorized to reveal. ‘This was
followed by evident anxiety, — by coldness, and alternate
kindness, towards him who caused the struggle, — and oc-
casionally by a kind of stern self-command, which triumphed
over all inquietude, and suggested to her observing friend
the hope that she had discovered the state of her own heart,
and would conquer a passion felt for one who did not return
it, without suffering its effects to appear— without gaining
from pity that which love had not accorded—a state whicli
he well knew the pride and delicacy of her nature would
render insupportable.

In all this, Frank’s conduct was not only blameless, but
entitled to the highest praise: his constant attention to busi-
ness, his affectionate attentions to his slowly-declining
parent, the variety of bis knowledge, and his unassuming
display of those talents which render domestic society cap-
tivating as well as endearing, were such as to quicken the
benevolent attentions of Mr. Elderton to his feelings and
manners, from a sincere desire to add to the future happi-
ness of Maria. He was so situated in life, that he could,
Without injury to others, have offered, in a share of his own

. extensive business, the means of competence, whenever the

final downfall of the house (in which the fortunes of the
young people were alike centred) should render his friend-
ship necessary to that end. But if Frank did not love Maria
as she merited to be loved, it was by no means his wish to

tempt him to marry her by the offer of fortune. He be-
lieved that there existed not a man on earth who deserved
her, and Jeast of all'was he inclined to accord that praise to
one who, however meritorious in other respects, could daily
witness the graceful energy, the glowing affection, the varied
talent she displayed, within the narrow circle which eircum-
stances now seldom extended beyond her own family, with-
out according her equal love and admiratir n.

Such were the thoughts passing in Mr. Eldertnn’s mind,
when Ellen, evidently with great pain, obeyed the uwmmons
of Lady Trevannion, who had, with extraordinary kindness,
waited for her so long, that to have trespassed further on
her forbearance, would have caused a breach of friendship
between the families. As her present home was at the dis-
tance of four or five miles, though Maria had it in ber power
to ride over every day, yet it was evidently Ellen’s duty to
remain much at home, and Mr. Elderton rejoiced, for her
own sake, in the circumstance. His eye was upon all the
circle, and his heart ached for all, under the impression tat
evil was impending upon them, both from threatened mis-
fortunes without and unsuspected enemies within.

CHAPTER IV.

Dunne the period of which we have been speaking, every
thing in the affairs of Mr. Falconer had been gradually
growing worse, and the conduct of that partner who was
resident abroad gave too much reason to believe that he
was either, as an extravagant man, drawing from the mother
country the sources of improper expenditure, or amassing
wealth by which to secure himself in possession of certain
property, when the affairs of the house should come to a
termination by the approaching dissolution of partnership,
which would take place at the time when Miss Falconer
came of age —a circumstance which, it had been under-
siood, had some connection with her father’s property now
in business.

This eventful period was looked to with much anxiety by
all the parties concerned, as they had found it impossible to
bring Mayton to his duty, — but by no person so much as Mrs.
Falconer, whose solicitude on her daughter’s account had
naturally been quickened {rom observing her artless predilec-
tion for a young man, for whom she felt herself the most
decided preference. The dreams of ambition she might have -
had for such a daughter were nearly obliterated by anxiety, .
and self-reproach, which, though not venting itself in tears.
or lamentations, had long sat heavy on her heart: the sad
secret which preyed there, and was slowly, but certainly, .
wearing away health and life, was suddenly developed.

One day Mr. Elderton entered at an hour very unusual |
with him, and wearing a very disturbed countenance ; the -
mother and dasghter were both at the moment engaged in:

3*



40 DECISION.

making up some cheap clothing for one of their poor neigh-
bors, but so much were they alike struck by the hurry and
perplexity of his countenance, that with one voice they
inquired, “ what was the matter?”

“The house of Krentzers have failed, in Dantzic, by
Which I shall lose a large sum of money, and Iam obliged
to set out without an hour’s delay. So Iran forward to bid
you good by.”

“ Krentzers!” exclaimed Mrs. Falconer, “surely Frank
spoke of them as being people with whom Mr. Mayton
ought to lodge money.”

“Very likely. We all think of ourselves first; but J
certainly ought to have told you what 1 learnt as [ came
hither — that poor Ingalton died about an hour ago in Frank’s
arins, Whilst Falconer was (according to his daily custom)
reading him the letters, — perhaps—TI really fear — it
looks as if this bad news had something to do with it.”

“Poor Frank!” exclaimed Maria, bursting into tears.
Mrs. Falconer neither spoke nor wept, but she looked on
the point of fainting, and yet exerted herself’ to ring the bell
-and order the carriage to be got ready immediately.

“You are going to poor Mrs, Ingalton, mamma ; 1 will go
with you,” said Maria.

“No, my love, you must not; I must see your father ; I must
inquire into all these distressing circumstances.”

Maria was on the point of saying “ Mr. Elderton will go
with you,” for she did not like her mother to depart, evi-
‘dently ill, alone, when undergoing much internal agitation ;
but she saw that she preferred being alone at this moment,
-and was well aware that, although a very friendly man in
the main, he was by no means a gentle binder of bleeding
wounds ; Mrs, Falconer, therefore, departed, without taking
-Mr. E., although his hat was in his hand to set out for
-B—— also.

“Surely,” said Maria, reverting to this bad news, « you
“will not lose much, my dear sir.”
“I shall not be ruined by it, Maria, certainly ; but I shall



DECISION. 31

Jose at one stroke the profits of many years’ labor, which is
provoking enough ; n’importe! I am a bachelor, and my hab-
its are not expensive.”

“That is a great comfort at a time like this,” said Maria,
following the glance of his eye around the elegantly-fur-
nished room in which she sat; “I confess I should be more
distressed for Mrs. Ingalton than you, were she, in addition
to her widowhood, to lose her property too: what would
become of her and the girls?”

“Think for yourself—your mother, Maria: she has a
brother, a son, and the circumstances of her widowhood
will raise her friends; but you — I tremble for you, I confess
I do.”

“ You are very good, but I think there is no comparison in
the case ; if my father were even ruined in his business, ~
which God forbid should be the case,— my mother’s prop-
erty undoubtedly ”

“ Has your mother property ? are you sure of that ?”

“T am sure of nothing; but I understood our estates in
Wales were hers, and I always concluded ” ——

“Pshaw!— you concluded — you ought to have known —
you had an undoubted right to know — you who have a better
head for business than one man in a thousand — who were
born heiress to two old estates in two different countries —
I have no patience with any of ye —and so at this time of
day, when you must be a long way past eighteen, you don’t
know whether your mother really has property left, or
whether your father has made ducks and drakes of it, in the
same manner as he did with his own.”

Maria drew up her head haughtily, as if to say, “ Beware
how you speak of my parents!”

“Nay, nay, Maria, look not thus on me. I honor your
feelings, but there are points in life where all feelings,
whether of delicacy, tenderness, or even what you errone-
ously deem duty, should be compelled to give way before
the more imperious dictates of that positive duty, common
honesty, and common sense. It is said, in the town, that





32 DECISION.

your mother, unhappily holding her own settlement, has
been induced, from time to time, to give up property over
which it gave her power; in fact, 1 know that about two
years since she did so to a great amount, and I fear she has
little, very little left.”

“It is so!— it must be so!” said Maria, in a voice scarcely
articulate with the agitation awakened by recollections that
rushed to her mind; “JI remember well, when she had that
long low fever on the spirits before you came home — yes,
yes, she used to weep bitterly whenever she saw me, and
has even yet never recovered — Frank and I used ” -——

“Frank and you! Dear Maria, allow me to ask you one
more question.”

“No, no, I can answer no more,” said Maria, blushing,
trembling, and gasping for breath.

“ But there is no engagement ?” _

“QO, no, no — certainly no engagement.”

Maria covered her face with her hands as she spoke, but
the throbbings of her heart, the universal pulsation of her
frame, bespoke the severity of her sensations, which were
indescribably painful; and had she possessed the power of
flight, she would certainly have fled. Mr. Elderton instantly
quitted the subject, but he reverted to that which preceded
it, and urged her to constrain herself to probe the wound
which he could not doubt was rankling at her mother’s
heart, so far as to discover the actual state of her future
dependence, for the express purpose of securing the little
which might remain; “as, otherwise,” said he, “depend
upon it, you will see her reduced to the most abject poverty,
from which your father will not be able to rescue her; for
never have I yet seen a man of his Sanguine temper who
was not completely overthrown in the day of actual want.”

“TI will work for them — beg for them”

“ Work you may, my love, but beg you cannot, no, not even
for them. I would not have talked to you thus, even yester-
day ; but, situated as 1 now am, I can only give good advice:
promise me you will act with resolution, that you will

DECISION. 33

endure to give pain to those you love, in itself the most
terrible of all pains; it is an imperative duty, and”

Maria rose slowly from her seat—she waved her hand,
and he ceased to speak; but in another minute she said, ina
solemn tone,

“ } will perform it —I would be thankful to escape it, out
for her sake I can do any thing.”

Mr. Elderton took his leave, trying to whisper such words
as, “ Report may have made the worst of it; I trust you will
save something yet;” but Maria heard them not, and the
door had closed on him before she recovered from the
stunning blows she had received —the torrent of terrible
thoughts which had overwheimed her at a period when she
had been wrapped in that oblivion to all outward cireum-
stances, unconnected with its own object, which a timid yet
all-engrossing passion spreads over a tender and youthful
bosom.

Yet, when the stupor occasioned by this blow somewhat
subsided, Maria was sensible that her mind was formed to
endure — that she had not less fortitude and energy than
sensibility, and she endeavored to recall that vigor of spirit
which she was sensible of possessing at a period when her
understanding was less mature than now. Alas! these rec-
ollections but served to show her the sad state of her own
heart — the heart which, even in this moment of alarm for
her parents, yet beat high for another also; she felt that his
sorrows were amongst those lamented the most sincerely,
and that every hope for the future was closely intermingled
with him.

Maria had paced the apartment in which she was left for
several hours, unconscious how time was passing, when the
return of the carriage roused her, and she began hastily to
reconsider her promise, and her plans for the future ; but all
were alike put to flight by the appearance of their usual
medical attendant, who, alighting from the carriage, entered
the house, to prepare her for receiving her father in an
alarming state: all she could learn was, that certain letters





34 DECISION.

announcing the loss by shipwreck of Mr. Mayton, the bank-
ruptey already spoken of, and the death of poor Mr. Ingal-
ton ata time when his spirits were so much agitated, had
produced an apoplectic fit, in which he had been held for
some hours, and which had placed his life in the greatest
Jeopardy.

In such a moment, all error, and even all sorrow, was for-
gotten, save that which arose from sympathy in the suffer-
ings of her father and the grief of her mother; for many
days, Maria watched by the bedside of the invalid, with an
anxiety and solicitude scarcely exceeded by that of the fond
and wretched wife, but which was far more efficaciously
evinced. Her powers of mind appeared to have reached
a sudden maturity under the alarming pressure of the time,
and to combine a power of recollection, which gave the
benefit of experience and of self-possession, and rendered
the cares of affection really beneficial to their object — hap-
py power! for the alarmed, distracted mother of Maria was
at this period almost wholly helpless — alternately suffering
from the agonies of grief, and overwhelmed with the stupor
and exhaustion consequent upon them.

When Mr. Falconer crept down stairs after a long con-
finement, he appeared to have added twenty years of age to
his bending, attenuated form, and the high health and manly
beauty for which (together with the flow of spirits) he had
been hitherto remarkable, rendered the change impressive
» €ven to the most careless observer. His servants started
when they heard the “childish treble” of’ bis voice, and
his friends considered that he had been “killed in the
cure,” and the tone in which they congratulated him on
his convalescence bespoke their actual fears for his state.
His first appearance, however, called up a third class, who
pressed round him the more earnestly, because they were
not likely to have him long to press, if report from the
others could be relied on.

These were his creditors, and those of the house which he
now solely represented, and who naturally inquired in what



;

DECISION. 35

‘their future security consisted. Mr. Falconer saw all who
approached him, laid before them those letters which spoke
of the failure of the bank in question, by which it appeared
also that a large sum of money had actually been amassed
here, which doubtless Mr. Mayton was about to bring for
he relief of the house. All were satisfied that, but for

‘misfortunes none could foresee, notwithstanding past defi .

ciencies, no wrong had been intended; but they earnestly
pressed the propriety of sending some person over immedi-
‘ately to Dantzic for the purpose of ascertaining the extent
of the evil, and securing any further debt that might pos-
‘sibly remain there.

It was evident that Frank alone could be that person,
since Mr. Falconer was utterly unequal to the task; and, as
‘much time had already passed, it was now settled that the
traveller elect should lose not an hour in setting out; and,
agreeably with every trait of worth which he had hitherto
displayed, the young gentleman professed his readiness to
‘obey their wishes.

_ Maria’s heart sank as she heard of this determination; but
she saw its propriety, and only lamented that her young
friend had not the benefit of her old friend’s advice and
assistance, in a scene which, she was well aware, he was at
present ill calculated to encounter. No endeavors had
hitherto been spared by young Ingalton to make himself a
man of business; but he had not yet shaken off the air of a
student, though he had attained the routine of counting-
louse avocations ; and his consciousness of this prevented
him from assuming either the knowledge or activity which
he possessed. In all the tender offices of an exemplary son,
the ceaseless attentions of a warm-hearted friend, he moved
between the two houses so painfully situated as one whose
presence inspired support and consolation; but he entered
the scene of his compelled avocations with a con&trained and
timid air, as one whose duties were yet to be learnt. Maria,
tenderly as her heart was drawn towards him, was too quick
to discern every peculiarity in those around not to be aware
of this, and in the evening, when he came to bid them fare-

well, wished to say some hing which should encourage him
to have more self-reliance. She had known that he had
beriefited from her advice in many other instances, and
‘never surely had he required a stimulus more than now;
yet she found it impossible to speak to him.

Frank was not only evidently oppressed with sorrow that
he controlled with the utmost difficulty, but with something
that pressed upon his spirits beyond, or distinct from, the
trouble which belonged to his disagreeable and probably
fruitless journey ; his eyes were continually bent towards the
door ; he started at the slightest sound, repeatedly opened his
mouth as if beginning to ask a question, which yet died
upon his lips, and at length rushed away, in extreme agita-
tion, above an hour before it appeared necessary, as if he
had recollected something concerning his luggage; but his
heart was too full to admit of explanations on trivial sub-
jects,

Before he could have reached the garden gate, Maria also
had closed the door in her own room, and tears were
streaming from her eyes, whilst blessings and prayers for
his safety murmured from her lips. When the first trans-
port of grief had subsided, a soothing emotion stole over
her mind, and allayed that sense of solicitude which had
long pressed on her spirits, and damped much of the vi-
vacity which was natural to her, — « Surely there was in the
manners of Frank, this evening, a restlessness of grief that
resembled her own feelings — in his sorrow there was a
tenderness, an alarm, an indefinite something. Had we
been alone—” Maria blushed as she whispered these words,
but her color as quickly receded on recollecting that they
had been alone, during which time he had earnestly recom-
mended his mother to her care — « Excellent youth! he
thought only of his widowed parent, even at a moment
80 important to himself” — she remembered also how he
started with an air of disappointment on her father’s en-
trance —in fact, his manners abundantly spoke distress and
embarrassment ; it had been so great that he had forgotten to
leave even a single adieu to poor Ellen.



DECISION. 37.

If, however, the apprehended, the desired cause of this
confusion did indeed affect Frank, it was not less evident
that the same sense of duty which had so Jong kept him
silent still operated, and would continue to do so, so long as
the unhappy affairs in which both families were involved
continued, and which there was but too much reason to fear
would blight forever the tender hopes of love. “ Frank,”
said Maria, “bas nobly made himself a sacrifice for his
family ; alas! mine is perhaps little better situated ; ought 1
not to follow his example ?”

The how this could be done now perpetually occupied her
mind; and since Mr. Falconer was now seldom able to go to
B——, yet frequently obliged to receive visits of business,
Maria became an eager listener to all conversations con-
nected with subjects which till now she would naturally have
fled from. By slow degrees Mr. Falconer’s health returned,
but that of Mrs. Falconer was extremely delicate ; yet she
continued to show every attention true friendship could
suggest to her widowed friend, and often wept over her
situation, saying, “that, when Frank returned, something
must be done to lessen her expenditure —she must leave
the house.”

“She can remove from her present house,” said Maria,
« better during his absence, I should think, than when he is
at home —why subject him to the pain of witnessing her
pain? she has no other dependence, and should rather spare
him than use him on slight occasions!”

« But they are all females, you know, Maria; what can
women do?”

« Every thing, dear mother, which rational and account-
able creatures are called to do; women can cast accounts,
estimate expenses, contrive where to spend and where to
spare, for every housekeeper does it. She can endure toil,
for in humble life, the most delicate encounter a daily por-
tion of it, and in high life, the love of pleasure leads many
to adopt it. That woman can sustain much, as well as
suffer much, poor Mrs. Ingalton is herself a proof, since for

The name and the inference Silenced Maria at the moment :
but since she had so far broken the ice as to give her mother

ing either anger or grief, she determined to venture on the
subject again, under cover of poor Mrs. Ingalton’s name,
-and one day, when it Was broached before her father, had
‘the satisfaction to hear him Say, “that although be did not
dike his wife to be without the Carriage, yet he believed jt
would be as well to part with it, especially as it was seldom
‘used of late.” .

Mrs. Falconer instantly renounced all desire {p, it; and

every luxury without a sigh, if it would add to her father’s
ease ; and doubted not but that his regard for her had pre-
vented him from doing, on the other hand, that which his
circumstances required, Her heart bled to think that two
‘Persons so amiable, so attached, should yet have placed
themselves jn a Situation where even their affection would
add to the difficulties by which they were surrounded,

CHAPTER V.

Time passed — letters were received from Frank, but no
remittances; nor did it appear probable that any property
would be obtained from his journey, as he found that the
late Mr. Mayton had indeed placed so large a sum there, as
to include all that could be conceived due to the house.
This money had previously been in a bank at Stockholm,
where it had been placed, not in the name of the firm, but
the individual, and there was great reason to suspect that
Mayton’s designs were altogether sinister and nefarious,
since he had completely drained his partners of their re-
sources, and was known to have contracted a partnership
with a Russia house, for which it appeared too probable that
he had thus accumulated funds actually belonging to his
English connections.

Mr. Falconer was now (partly from feeling it his duty to
be more open with his family than formerly, and partly from
his double loss of the Ingaltons) in the habit of speaking on
the subject of his letters and affairs; in which conversation
Maria ever took a warm interest, not only perhaps for the
sake of the subject, but because it enabled her to learn the
movements of Frank, without rendering him the immediate
subject of inquiry. One day, Mr. Falconer observed, “ that
he had hoped to have seen him in May, but he now feared it
would be October, at which time his late unhappy partner-
ship would be dissolved.”

« May!” said Maria, changing the subject to avoid show-
ing her disappointment —“ in May, Ellen will be of age —
yes, the fifteenth of May.”



40 DECISION.

“ Are you sure of that?” said both parents eagerly,

“ Quite sure, because I shall be twenty in April.”

“ She is right,” said Mr. Falconer tremulously, with a look
full of meaning towards his wife.

For several days there was much consultation between
her parents, from which Maria was constantly excluded —
again she frequently saw traces of’ tears on her mother’s
face, and observed her frequently casting her eyes towards
herself with an expression of the utmost sorrow: she be-
came pale, her appetite failed, and the weakness which had
lately been removed, returned in the most distressing
degree,

“ Dear mother, what can we do for you ?” said Maria.

“Nothing, my love; I am going soon into Wales, and my
native air will probably do me good; indeed, | have no ail-
ment; I am only nervous.”

“ Mother, dear mother,” cried Maria, in a voice full of
anguish, “you are no such thing ; there is something the
matter with you beyond what I am permitted to see — yet
surely I have a right to know and to share your troubles,”

“ A right ?— O Maria, do not u pbraid me!” Mrs. Falconer
sank, oppressed almost to faintin , on the nearest seat — her
face was perfectly pale, her lips blue, and her eyelids fel]
over eyes which seemed receding even from life. Maria was
terrified ; she sank on her knees before her, and eagerly
kissing her hands, besought her by every fond and tender
word which rose to her gasping lips, to pardon her if she
liad done wrong, to exert kerself, and if possible to open
her heart to a daughter who lived but to contribute to her
happiness.

“ Look at me, dear mother — speak to me!” she cried in
agony — “forgive me.”

“*T can have nothing to forgive in you, Maria, but you — O,
how much have you to forgive in your mother! — I cannot,
cannot look at you.”

Maria sprang from her knees; she hastily poured some
drops into water, which were restorative, and presented



DECISION. AL

them to her mother’s lips, at the same time saying in great
agitation, —

«Pray take these drops; do not thus distress yourself; [
know all you would say — your settlement — it is all gone —
never mind — only *>cover, and [—I will do every thing,
mamma.”

Mrs. Falconer started, gazed a moment wildly on Maria’s
face, clasped her round the neck, and burst into a flood of
bitter tears.

Thankful for this change, Maria wisely suffered the long-
pent-up agony to subside,— fervently, though silently, praying
that the Almighty would give her the power of devoting her-
self, in every possible way, to a parent whom she felt at this
moment bound to by ties of pity still more than of duty, whose
purity of conduct, and pious integrity of principle, she had
witnessed in innumerable instances, and whose violation of
good faith (if it were such towards herself) had unquestion-
ably brought her to the brink of the grave. When at length
she was able to speak, Mrs. Falconer said, tremulously, yet as
‘f she was a little eased by the discovery ef her daughter, —

“ You know, then, dear Maria, that I have given — that is,
that I have lent, your dear father”

«] know very little, mother; but I certainly, for all our
sakes, do wish to know, and think I ought to know, some-
thing of my own situation as connected with yours.”

«You are right, Maria; I have urged this to your father
many times, but he has such a full assurance that all things
will come round, that he shall be enabled eventually to sup-
ply all deficiencies, that he would never permit me to speak.
—[ have suffered from this silence — O, how have J.
suffered!”

«Cruel, wicked man! He has robbed, and almost mur--
dered you — my dear mother, do not look on me with £0:
much horror — my feelings must have vent — at this moment
I cannot forgive my father —I have no patience with him..
Has he not schemed, wasted, fooled away two noble for--
tunes? irreparably injured the best of wives. a daughter-

who never offended him? — and does he add to this the im-
position of silence on the subject, until all, all is gone, as
though he sought to bring ruin by so dreadful a stroke, that
it should at once crush reason and life? QO, fie, fieon him!”

Maria spoke with a rapidity and indignation proportioned
to the feelings which agitated her, and traversed the room
with that unceasing and perturbed step which seasons of
severe suffering are so apt to produce, Every time she lifted
up her eyes, and cast one glance at her mother, her passions
of grief and anger, pure compassion and unbounded affec-
tion, seemed to increase, and transport her beyond all limits
of patience and all power of consolation: she beheld her
as an unoffending victim, still lovely, elegant, in the merid-
ian of life, condemned in years that were past to ceaseless
solicitude and self-reproach, in years to come probably to
degradation, poverty, scorn, and remorse: the prospect was
'00 appalling to be borne; she shuddered, and covered hei
eyes; but no tear issued from their burning orbs.

“Your father has undoubtedly done wrong in subjecting
himself to these losses,” said Mrs, Falconer, in a deprecating
tone; “ but remember, Maria, that he was brought up with
little knowledge of the world — that he lost his father very
early, married one who was little more than a child, and
was led by degrees into circumstances which he could not
foresee, nor guard against. How many fine young men like
him would have spent their money in dissipation, the com
mon error of his countrymen — how many, in vicious, dis
honorable pursuits ! ”

“Is it not dishonorable for a man to rob his own wife 2?—
to entail the miseries of poverty on that being whom Le has
especially promised to protect, and whose very helplessness
_ ought to have rendered her the chief object of his care ?”

“The world and the world’s usages generally require
that a wife should partake the good or evil fortunes of her
husband, Maria, and I believe that, on the whole, it is better
- that there should be no Separate interest between people so
. situated.”



DECISION. 43

«That may be, mother — but yet no sophistry can ever
persuade me, that a man has a right to do an act of injus-
tice, either because the object or the law authorizes him,
Laws are made by man, and like himself are fallible, even
when formed with the most consummate human wisdom ;
but that sense of justice which God himself implants in the
heart, that rule which he has revealed in his word, forbids
us to injure any one, most of all the creature who has placed
happiness and property in our bands: of all other robbers,
it appears to me that a husband is the most wicked, because
he is the most powerful; he can withhold all good, bestow
every degree of pain and grief— he can threaten or cajole
his victim, render his tenderness or his tyranny equally effi-
cacious for his purpose, and ”

«Hear me, Maria; you are justly wounded, and it is only
a proper punishment for me, perhaps, that I should listen to
words which are indeed daggers to my heart — but yet”

“Daggers! O God! is it by me you are wounded ? but I
cannot help it — if I feel, it is for you— you know, or you
will know some day, that it is for you only that I am thus
moved.” .

“I do know you, Maria —I have no doubt of your duty,
your disinterested affection —and I have but little doubt
that in that alone I shall find all the future good life has in
store; but I conjure you, by that sense of justice which I
know to be the ruling movement of your breast, hear me
plead for your father.”

Maria threw herself on her knees before her mother, and
laying her face on her lap, that she might hide the expres-
sion of her countenance, compelled herself to be silent.

“ Your father has been ever a kind, attentive, and faithful —
husband — pleasure has never seduced him from my side;
perplexity and distress have never soured his temper,
abated his indulgence, or cooled his affection for me. If he
has concealed misfortune at some times, it has been to save
me from suffering; if he has engaged in new schemes, it
has been for the purpose of retrieving losses from old ones:

when circumstance at length drew him to England, and
obliged him to lay his affairs before me, 1 offered to throw
my settlement instantly into the fire, with all the warmth
incident to the heart of a young, fond wife, whose child was
too young to excite fears for its future fate ; but this sacrifice
he strenuously refiised, and merely accepted a loan, which
he employed in business as an aid to us all.” |

“You did right, and he did not do wrong,” said Maria,
down whose cheeks the tears now began to trickle freely.

“ Unhappily, a breach once made was frequently renewed
— business grew unproductive, our expenses were trebled
in this country, and your father was averse to diminishing
our establishment, lest it should injure his credit ; hor could
he bear to see my situation stripped of its comforts,
and ”

“Nonsense! it was his duty and yours — there is nothing
imperative but duty — but go on.”

“He had first only five thousand pounds — then I sold
a farm — when Ellen’s father died, we disposed of the mine,
and now ” ——

“Now! what have you left ?”

“The manor-house and some land, for which | have re-
ceived a very liberal offer.”

“ Which offer you shall not accept,” said Maria, Starting
on her feet; “no, no; that little spot of your own land, in
your own country, you shall retain if 1 have power or right
either from affection or law to compel it —and such, 1 think,
must be the case : ’tis enough to make my two grandfathers

not allow it.”

“Then, poor Ellen ” —

“Ellen! what has Ellen to do with it?”

“Her father bequeathed her to the care of yours, and
with her about eight hundred pounds, which, in the warmth
of his kind heart, he Promised to make a thousand: strictly
Speaking, perhaps, even that sum has been expended on the

dear girl ; but I cannot bear so to consider the case. Yet as,
since our losses, I cannot insure to you any thing more than
the three thousand pounds now offered me for the farm in
question, if you insist upon it, I will not sell it, Maria.”

Maria was silent.

“J must not, however, conceal from you that I am certain
it will be the death of your father.”

After a long pause, the daughter replied, —

“It shall be sold; Ellen shall not be wronged; there are
also two small annuitants who must be secured — my father
has been a man of strict honor to all but his own family, and
1 believe with you it would kill him not to do his utmost,
and you love him so much, that i would kill you also.”

“ You too love him, Maria, fondly love him; when he lay
so lately stretched on the bed of sickness, what sacrifice
would you have thought too great to give for him ?”

“Question me not, mother — my heart is still too full of
varied but terrible emotions. Promise me only that you will
struggle to recover your health, that you will assure yourself
of my perfect forgiveness, and accord me your confidence —
but | have nothing now to learn; degradation and poverty
are before us —a long, long life, of altered circumstances
—of pity mingled with scorn, of privation imbittered by
inemory.”

Mrs. Falconer wept in very agony again.

“ Mother, dear mother, pardon me —take comfort, for I
will be to you a husband, a fond, toiling, careful husband —
1 can at least provide manna in the wilderness where we
shall all be cast, and I pledge myself to do it— may God
so bless me, as I shall fulfil the vow which binds me to
you.”

With these words, Maria flew to her own chamber, from
whence she returned not for the remainder of the day, and
where she passed the night in deep but unavailing sorrow,
her mind tossed as with ceaseless tempest, one moment
trembling for the present health of her mother, the next

viewing with horror the miseries that threatened her future
life — sometimes glowing with rage. for the folly and mis-
management of her father, then melting into sorrow, as in
imagination she saw his bending form shrink under the
pressure of poverty, and his gray hairs descend with sorrow
to the grave.



DECISION. 47

CHAPTER VL

Maarza took a little refreshment in her room, but the per-
turbed state of her feelings rendered the idea of going to
bed disagreeable, and she continued to walk slowly the
length of her chamber and dressing-room, until she was
completely exhausted, when she flung herself on her couch,
and sunk into that profound sleep which frequently suc-
ceeds extreme agitation.

On awaking, Maria was sensible of headache and extreme
thirst, and she instantly rose to procure water; the sun
shone beamingly into the room, and she drew the curtain
aside to view the refreshing green which in April spreads
over the face of renovated nature the promise of future good:
her eye was struck with the appearance of a post-chaise
at the garden gate, into which her father was assisting her
mother, whose maid followed, and they instantly drove off
in the direction for their intended western journey.

“ They are gone,” said Maria, “and I must, I will go also;
but whither? what is there that I can do to avert the evils
around us—upon us! —the sure ruin which is accelerated
by every turn of the wheels which convey them hence.”

She dressed and descended, and was informed that, as Mrs.
Falconer seemed a little better than usual, it was thought ad-
visable to set off that morning ; and on finding that she was
very fast asleep, both parents had given her a farewell kiss
without disturbing her, but had left a message entreating her
to go to Sir James 'Trevannion’s, and either remain there dur-
ing their absence, or procure the company of Miss Powis.

Maria heard this message in silence; but a bitter and scorn-



48 DECISION.

ful smile rose to her lip, and when the servant had closed
the door, she exclaimed, —

“No, no; — company — indulgence of every kind must be
given up; I must commune with my own heart, must resolve
from the dictates of my own mind. I must try to help those
who cannot help themselves. Ah! Frank, dear Frank, how
young we both are, how much are we both strangers to that
world through which we are alike fated to wing our way like
the stork, carrying our parents.”

Yet there was something consolatory in the thought of re-
sembling Frank in his virtues, in his sorrows —in thinking
the same thoughts, encountering the same difficulties, and
being united in a bond of similar suffering, which somewhat
_ relieved the deep dejection, and awoke the dormant energy
she desired, but almost despaired of exciting in her own
over-charged spirit. Maria’s smile subsided ; she began to
weep, and to bless her parents,

After some time, being roused by a question from the ser-
. Vant respecting dinner, she answered sharply, “Iam going to
Sir James Trevannion’s immediately. I shall walk —] want
no attendance ” —_

“Tt is a long walk, ma’am, and ” —_

Maria waved her hand, as much as to say, “ Leave me
alone,” and the deep sorrow seated on her countenance
showed that intrusion must be indeed painful. In a tew min-
utes she had tied on a large bonnet, and, enveloped in a shaw],
set out on a solitary path which Jed circuitously to the place
which she now sought with hasty, anxious steps, but in a
short time almost resolved to avoid: often she returned for
a short space, and then again she retraced her Steps: at length,
worn out with fatigue and uneasiness, she entered the mansion
by the housekeeper’s room in the dusk, whilst the family were
at dinner: struck with her wild and ghastly looks, the negli-
gence of her dress, and the manner in which she came, the
mistress of the apartment, who had known her from child-
hood, accosted her with alarm not less than kindness, when
she inquired what was the matter — what she could do for her,



DECISION. 49

«Take me direct to Miss Powis’s bedroom, — do not tell
any one I am here but her, —and get me some tea, for I can
take nothing else —my mouth is parched —I have over-
done myself; that is all.”

The housekeeper complied with these requisitions ; and
the beloved Ellen alone glided round the bed, and whispered
tender inquiries respecting her health and peace. She re-
ceived little reply, beyond a few terrible and astounding words,
which announced the prediction, uppermost on her mind, of
the approaching ruin of her parents, who were scarcely less
dear to Ellen than herself, and over whose misfortunes she
wept bitterly ; but when she would have inquired further, she
was desired, in a tone cold and authoritative, to ask no ques-
tions ; “she had heard all that sufficed to account for the ap-
pearance and the misery of her visitant.”

There was something so unlike her former self in Maria’s
manners, — and the whiteness of her lips, the circumscribed
glowing spot upon her cheek, indicated so much fever, — that,
as the idea of disease had been given to Ellen by the house-
keeper, she really apprehended that her young friend was
suffering under delirium, and knew not how far it was her
duty to infringe upon her request, (strenuously as it had now
been urged,) and inform the family. Maria, however, lay still,
but was not asleep, and her lips frequently moved, as if she
were engaged in soliloquy or computation ; but Elien trusted
she was not worse at least, and concluded, therefore, to wait
till morning, sitting by the side of the bed, watching her with
unceasing solicitude and fond affection the whole night.

The sounds of those domestic movements which announce
the return of day roused Maria from her deep contempla-
tion; she sat up in bed, took her purse, which was under
her pillow, and, emptying it before her, counted the contents
carefully. “Here are eleven guineas,” said she, “ and seven-
teen shillings : have you any money, dear Ellen ?”

“J have about six pounds, I believe.”

«You will lend it to me, I am certain; but you would
rather give it to me. Well, I will accept it, thankfully, and

5



50 DECISION,

With this money I will immediately begin business ; and who
knows how well I may do in the world ? Pray for me, dear
Ellen, that God may prosper my endeavor to assist my pa-
rents. I trust he has inspired me with the resolution I now
Jeel, and even the plan I have adopted.”

Maria’s voice was a little tremulous; but she spoke dis-
tinctly, and her face, though very pale, was so composed in
its expression, that the late fears of Ellen gave way to the
Conviction that extreme distress, and the broodings of a
harassed mind over some new and difficult undertaking,
had alone produced the alarming appearances which had
excited her past fears. She eagerly opened her work-box,
and instantly mingled her little store with that of Maria,
who now had risen, and, though evidently very poorly, was
dressing herself with as much rapidity as her health per-
mitted.

“T have already told you, Ellen,” said she, “that my pa-
rents are gone to receive the last money in my poor mother’s
power; it will be, necessarily, soon paid away; in October
all their affairs will be settled, and it must inevitably be
found, with the late losses in Germany, that there will not
be sufficient to pay the creditors ; all will be broken up and
sold, and there will be no residue. My father will seek for
a Situation as a clerk; but he is too much a gentleman, too
little a tradesman, to find one ; his late illness has robbed
him of the strength necessary for other labor, and ” —_.

Ellen, utterly unable to endure such a picture of the :nan
to whom, from her cradle, she had looked as a master, and
long loved as a father, broke into hysterical Weeping, and
Maria was compelled literally to “ comfort her comforter.”

“Nay, dear Ellen, do not weep thus; I only wanted to
prove to you the necessity there is that I should guard
against evils so inevitable, — that, like the new comedy, I
should ‘ Stoop to Conquer ;’ and in order to Spare myself
the further exercise of feeling which I now find will really
unfit me for the altered situation to which I must submit,
T bave, at length, determined to commence immediately.



DECISION. 51

Struggle with your feelings, that you may strengthen mine.
I must not allow myself to cry any more. 1 must act, not
weep.”

« What will you do, Maria?”

«] will sell iron—sell it by retail in small quantities, to
little manufacturers.”

Ellen suddenly removed her handkerchief, and strained -
her tearful eyes to gaze again on Maria, to see if she were, or
were not, in her senses — she dared not to speak lest she
should irritate the malady she dreaded, and Maria con-
tinued :

“I have been for many weeks an attentive listener to
every conversation which has passed on subjects connected
with business, and I find that all the poorer masters, in our
great manufacturing town, labor under great disadvantages
for want of a medium betwixt them and the iron masters ;
andI have heard it repeatedly observed, ‘ that if any decent
workman would have the resolution to save his wages till
he had obtained thirty or forty pounds, he might begin the
trade with a certainty of thriving, provided he gave no
credit, and was content with a moderate, constant profit.’ ”

« But, my dear Maria, that which a Jaboring man might
indeed do well, and profitably, cannot be done by a young,
delicate, pretty woman — a lady too, whose birth, education,
and habits, render ber utterly unfit for such employment —
one, too, who possesses talents which she can consistently
employ to advantage in the occupations becoming a gentle-
woman.”

« [ know all you would urge, dear Ellen, for I really be-
lieve that, whilst I lay upon that bed, I have had more
subjects of thought, more recollections, cogitations, and
deductions, than the whole lives of many women present:
my conclusions have not been made in consequence of sud-
den impulse, but deep examination. In the first place, I
thought of obtaining a situation resembling yours; but that
I instantly rejected, since it would only enable me to provide
for myself’ — besides, let me confess, my pride, the long in-



52 DECISION.

dulgence accorded to an only child, and still more the inde-
pendence of my nature, render me unfit for servitude, even’
in its most ameliorated shape.”

“ But you might teach without entering a family.”

“Not to any sufficient purpose: music lessons are now
confined to the harpsichord, and on that, you know, I do not
excel, having, in despite of fashion, ever adopted my own na-
tive Irish harp ; and, for the reason I gave you before, you will
perceive that it would be easier for me to live amongst the
poor, than receive from the rich, and especially the low and
purse-proud, that remuneration they would feel pain to give,
and I should feel more pain to receive.”

“But your exquisite voice, your elegant person, Maria!
I cannot bear to think you should be wasted, lost to society.”

“Yet even you, Ellen, would not like to see me on the
Stage ; though, had I been brought up to it, in a pecuniary
point of view it might have answered —nhever let my mother
know that it even passed our minds, | have, in short, deter-
mined to try iron, and nothing else. It has been the ruin of
my family, and ought to make amends — it has swallowed
house and land, and should therefore find bread and lodging,
which is all I now presume to hope for,”

“Mr. Falconer will never endure to See you so degraded
— it will break his heart.”

“Tt will, I fear, render his temper irritable, which is, in-
deed, a great affliction to me; but yet I trust the Sweetness
of my mother’s pleadings will soften him, and, in a short
time, poor man! his own affairs will engross him wholly,
and make him forget me and my paltry concerns, until that
time when he will find that I have labored for his sake —
disobeyed and disgraced him, (as he will term it,) that I
might find a shelter for his latter days, on which pride may
glance with scorn, but shall never enter with insult,”

“Ah! dear Maria, you think you have made up your mind
to encounter difficulties ; but indeed you have no idea of the
extent or the nature of what you brave. The poor, in these
manufacturing towns, are very distinct from the simple,



DECISION. 53

warm-hearted creatures who used to adore ‘his honor and
idolize his honor’s child ;? whom you considered under your
protection, and loved because you benefited — vulgarity will
disgust you — mean arts be practised upon you ten times a
day.”

“ Unquestionably, but I must learn to endure them.”

« Besides, your feelings will be so wrought upon, that you
never will be able to save that which you may get — never
yet have you resisted the pleadings of the poor; what will
become of you when you are thrown into the midst of
them ?— when sights of sorrow are daily before you, when
complaints are the only language that meets your ear.”

« Ellen, my plan will enable me most essentially to benefit
my fellow-creatures, and extend to them an actual good, far
more efficient than any partial help such as I was wont to
give, or my heart may still yearn to bestow. With this
knowledge I must learn to be content. I may sometimes
meet rudeness that may vex me, and I shall, doubtless, find
ingratitude, for every body says that it abounds in the poor;
but yet 1 shall also undoubtediy find some honest attach-
ment; I shall see some who thrive under my auspices, and
then I shall rejoice and be encouraged. I am so young,
have so long a journey before me, that it will be strange in-
deed if there are no green spots, no little flowery resting-
places, in the whole of my thorny path.”

Ellen still shook her head, still wept over her friend, as if
she considered her a victim, yet one on whom her highest
admiration rested: her mind, less gifted and less excited,
did not in fact grasp, in its circle of difficulties, half so many
as had already presented themselves, in formidable array or
galling vexatiousness, to the imagination of her who had
resolved to encounter them, had examined, weighed, and
decided upon them, and who, now aware that her friend’s
absence would excite inquiry, prepared to leave her after
taking a very slight refreshment.

“ You shall not go till I have given you all I have,” said

Ellen: “you mean to make up the sum of which you
spoke, doubtless, by disposing of your ornaments; and I too
have a few; they were principally given by you, and therefore
very dear to me, but”

Maria, with a kind smile, followed by a sigh, received the
trinkets, saying, “Give them to me, Ellen, now, and when |
am rich you shall have much better ;” and added, “Now,
good by; you have done me a great deal of good, and given
me wealth — do not hang upon me, dear Ellen, do not awa-
ken emotions which destroy me — there — you shan’t kiss me
again; you have nothing more to say, my love, have you?”

“Y—es,” said Ellen, turning away her head, “I have
something to say, something I wished to tell you, but in a
time of such distress I could not mention it —- yet, alas! my
secret is in some measure connected with the sad cireum-
stances belonging to you and yours — we are closely united
in our anxieties.”

“For Heaven’s sake tell me this secret — but perhaps I
know to what you allude.”

“TI dare say you do, Maria ; Mr. Francis Ingalton has”

“ Frahk Ingalton has — what has he done ?— speak.”

“No harm, dear Maria; your spirits are in such a flutter,
your imagination takes the alarm at every thing ; but I know
you have a sister’s regard for him, and more than a sister’s
for me, and it is only right you should know that, on the
night he set out, he galloped over here, just to bid me fare-
well — Maria, I am sure you are ill”

“ Quite well,” gasped Maria; « go on, Ellen.”

“ And he confessed — indeed it was a trying scene to us
both — he spoke of his poverty, his melancholy prospects,
his widowed mother, helpless sister, and his long-cherished
love.”

“His love ? — love? go on, Ellen ” ——

“ Yes, his love, and do not blame me, Maria, but J certainly
felt it mutual, and said so.” '

“Love! it was love for you he confessed!” Such were

the words that died on Maria’s tongue as she sank fainting
on the floor, and remained in a death-like swoon.

having foreseen such an effect, as the consequence of pre-
vious agitation, instantly alarmed the house ; and Lady Tre-
vannion, with great surprise and some sense of displeasure,
first learnt the arrival of one who had long been particularly
dear to her, and over whose pale form she hung with deep
solicitude : in time Maria sighed, opened her eyes, and, by
slow degrees, regained her senses.

The first person she saw was Ellen —a slight shudder
followed, and she again closed her eyes, but the voice of
Lady Trevannion and her smelling-bottle recalled her, and,
laying her head on her bosom, she faintly whispered “ that
she was much better,” after which, she earnestly requested
to be Jeft alone upon the sofa.

No objection was made to this, for Lady Trevannion was
anxious to inquire from Ellen what was amiss. ‘The answer
she received only confirmed those flying reports which had al-
ready reached Sir James, and awoke the sincere sympathy of
both. Ellen did not betray the schemes of Maria to them, for
she felt assured that they could not be put in practice, and they
still appeared to her so inconsistent with all that belonged
to the past life of Maria, to the elegance and fastidiousness
of her cultivated mind, and lofty, though gentle bearing,
that the idea of fever and delirium again presented itself.
Lady Trevannion, sincerely sorry for Maria, pressed her to
remain with them, at least till her mother’s return; but after
the restoration of an hour’s solitude and a cup of chocolate,
she earnestly desired to go home; and at length Lady Tre-
vannion ordered her coach, and set out thither with her.

The ride, the pure air, the effort she made to shake off
the remembrance of that last overwhelming pang, which
had produced an effect altogether new in her little history,
so far restored her that Lady Trevannion felt satisfied to
leave her; but she went into the house with her to give di-

rections to the servants, and inform them in what manner
their young lady had been affected.

In the breakfast parlor stood her harp, at that time an
insirument comparatively seldom seen, but which Lady Tre-
vannion admired much, especially as an accompaniment to
her own excellent performance. “How I wish you had been
well enough, my love, to play me that air I gave you last
week,” said she.

Maria drew her hand across the chords, but she found it
impossible to play.

“T cannot play the air, but I can give you the instrument,

dear Lady Trevannion — put it into the coach with you;
there is room for it.”
“My dear girl, 1 would not rob you of it for the world —
in truth, you were made for each other; in my opinion
’twould be parting a wedded pair, and little short of sacri-
lege.”

Maria again looked very pale, but she tried to smile, and
said, “ But it is my fate to Live single.”

“'That may be, Maria, for I have certainly never yet seen
the man ] thought meet to marry you; but should it be so,
your instrument will be doubly valuable ; it will Stand you
instead of matrimonial music, supply the tedium of solitary
hours, and the charming varieties produced by lecturing
husbands, squalling children, and unmanageable servants.”

“I cannot jest to-day, but you will really oblige me by
taking it away for the present — divorce me from it for
seven years; at the end of that time, if Ihave merited it, I
will reclaim it ; during that time, at least, books and music
must be renounced by me.”

“For Heaven’s sake, Maria, what are you about ?”

“To renounce your acquaintance, dear Lady Trevannion
— not your esteem ; no! you will accord me that. Iam un-
equal to explaining what I mean, and you are quite unequal
to approving my decision, or changing it. I shall do nothing
which, as a woman or a Christian, will not challenge your



DECISION. o7

approbation ; but as a person moving in your sphere of life,
I much question that you could be so unprejudiced as to
deem me eligible to the place I wish to fill. I must be the
builder of my own fortune, and aim the contriver of my own
scheme. 1 inherit a love for speculating, you know”

As Lady Trevannion could not argue against that plan to
which she was a stranger, and perceived that there was in
her young friend a firmness of character which was the result
of deep thought, and a high sense of duty and affection, she
departed, taking with her the harp, some favorite music, and
a few choice books. Maria felt herself a little easier when
they were out of sight; she called them “tempters, which
it were well to remove,” and she felt that there was a double
call for their absence, since every song and every page was
full of those mementos which brought back the image, the
words, the ideas of Frank, interwoven so long with all the
actions of her life, the imaginings of her heart. When left
to herself, long and bitterly did she weep; yet often did she
reproach herself for the weakness thus betrayed, and felt
astonished how a person, so resolved as she had been but a
few hours before to resign every thing, even the love of this
very man, (when she trusted it was hers,) could yet be over-
powered so completely when the pain of separation was
spared her —she knew not till now that love feels, not rea-
sons, and became most sensible how blindly, how entirely,
she had ventured to love, when assured that the obiect of
her affections was in every possible way removec from her
hopes forever.

CHAPTER VIL

SEVERELY as Maria suffered at this time, it is yet certain
that the resolution she had formed, and the many plans and
expectations which arose out of it, greatly aided in relieving
her spirits from that intolerable sense of anguish, disappoint
ment, and mortification, to which Ellen’s discovery would
inevitably have subjected her, had she been enabled to
indulge in solitude the heart-rending thoughts that inces-
santly sprung to her mind. Often did she repine that the
happy insensibility into which she had sunk, was exchanged
for the turmoil of contending passions, and deep-seated
grief, which now assailed her; and more than Once she bent
her knees to pray, “that her heavenly Father would remove
her from a world to her so full of suffering.” At these mo-
ments, the recollection of What her mother’s sorrow and
situation would be in Consequence of such an event arrested
her words, and pierced her heart with remorse ; she ceased
to pray that the « cup of sorrow might be removed,” and
endeavored to say, “Not my will, but thine, be done!”

Happy indeed was it for Maria, that, with a clear view of
What wisdom and virtue prescribed, she partook also that
pure faith which taught submission and promised reward.
She felt a comfort, in religious reliance on the God of provi-
dence, those only can conceive who, in the hour of distress,
have been thus supported — and, becoming aware, more
and more, that the indulgence of’ sorrow would render her

the resolutions poor Ellen had so unintentionally inter-
rupted, and determined that very night to sleep in B—,



DECISION. 59

if possible, and begin the business she meditated in the
morning.

A few of her plainest clothes were soon packed in a small
portmanteau, and despatched to the house of a workman
whom she had long known for a quiet, civil man, living in
the very heart of the town, in the midst of smoke and dust,
but possessing a kind of large lumber-room contiguous to
his dwelling, which he had once let as a coach-office, now to
his great trouble removed. His wife was a decent woman,
she believed, and she knew they had only one child, to
whom she had been kind; so that many circumstances com-
bined to render this poor couple and their spare premises
eligible for her plan; and none more so, than the circum-
stance that the man himself would be out of employment,
whenever the business of her father’s house came to an end,
and there was at this period so little done that he could hardly
fail to be thankful for any assistance she could give him.

Many times Maria endeavored to write to her mother, but
as often did she find the thing impossible, and therefore at
length gave it up in despair; considering also that a few
days might safely elapse, and that Mrs. Ingalton would be a
good and faithful informer and mediator between them.
She was persuaded that no time could be more proper for
her trial than the present, since the spirits of her parents
would be somewhat lightened by the possession of ready
money, and the consoling sense of doing justice to the
amiable orphan who held a dear place in their hearts — that
their journey would be beneficial to her mother’s health, and
enable her the better to sustain her absence, and supply to
her father the companion and the amusement he had been
wont to find in his daughter. Having said all this over and
over to her own heart, which, in despite of all that reason
could,urge and resolution demand, was still a woman’s heart,
and quailed before the “dread unknown” to which it was
impelled, she once more addressed herself to her purpose.

“Tam going to B——” said she to the footman, “ and
shall not return —I mean for some days.”



60 DECISION.

“Do you ride, ma’am, or shall 1 attend you?”

“ Neither — and, William, call the dogs away ; they must
hot follow me.”

“Not Mayflower, ma’am? Mrs. Ingalton is very fond of
Mayflower ; she won’t think it any trouble to have him for a
day or two; and the creature do so mourn after you, there’s
no living for him.”

Maria durst not trust herself to speak, but she shook her
head in token of negative. There was another person far
worse to leave than Mayflower — her old Irish nurse, who
remained a nondescript servant, and occasional mistress,
whom it was always necessary to elude when a private
stroll was intended, for Kathleen had such an idea of the
importance of her ladies that, if she could have ruled, a
troop of horse should have attended them. Never, till the
preceding day, had Maria left her home for a night without
bidding her farewell, and nothing less than her return in
Lady Trevannion’s carriage as an invalid could have recon-
ciled her to the event; but in accounting for it, Maria had
prepared her for the return of the evil, and even for the
approach of greater—she was now weeping in a remote
apartment: to encounter her affectionate lamentations,
mingled as they were with recapitulations of the glory
and honor of the Falconers, the grandeur and antiquity of
Sharon-Lacey, was altogether impossible.

Terrible as these parting pangs were, and determined as
Maria thought herself to avoid them, yet when she heard
the well-known winnow of her beautiful little mare, which
happened to espy her as she hastened through the paddock
that was her nearest road to the town, she could not forbear
to turn and pat the sleek neck of the favorite, which con-
tinued to follow her to the stile, as if wooing her to re-
sume their usual airings, |

“So, so, Fanny — poor Fanny, what will become of you
now ?— Pshaw ! — what will become of me if I suffer such
things to move me ?”

Yet, in despite of self-reproach, for a moment Maria’s head



DECISION. 61

rested on Fanny’s neck, and her tears fell on it — the loud
howl of her favorite greyhound roused her — she looked
round, and though glad that the evening was closing, and
that she should enter the town unseen, she yet also partook
a little that sensation of fear to which her sex and her habits
subjected her; she hesitated whether to pursue her inten-
tion, or step back into the house and take William with her
across the fields.

“Yet in that case,” said she, “there will be perhaps
Kathleen and Mary; no, no, I must go alone —I must suffer
alone — perhaps too I may conquer alone; ah Frank! even
now, weak and weary as I am, ignorant as I feel myself of
that which I am about to learn, and to endure, yet I am
sensible that I have courage and energy enough to bear all,
sustain all that is before me, if you”

Again she felt as if she should faint, so thickly did. her
breath heave, and so chilly were the sensations which crept
over her trembling limbs; but she was alone, and a sense of
terror lest she should fall in such a place sustained her,
and after a short rest she obtained the power of pro-
ceeding.

That part of the town to which she now bent her steps
was so little known to her, that she procured a child asa
guide, whose steps she followed with great difficulty, through
many a long, dirty lane, crowded with dingy inhabitants,
who stared at the lady as a novelty in their purlieus seldom
seen, although she had wisely dressed herself in a dark
habit and stripped her beaver of its plume. She arrived at
the house of William Mitchell just at the time when its
master had concluded his daily labors, and his wife was
making up a cheerful fire —that comfort which the inhab-
itants of a coal district generally indulge in, whether re-
quired by the weather or not.

William was spelling out her name on the portmanteau,
which had been left an hour before, as she entered, and his
astonishment at her appearance and her inquiries was soon
superseded by his joy at disposing of his warehouse, and

6





62 DECISION.

learning that she was engaging in an undertaking which
insured him employment: the expectation she expressed
that he would also accommodate her with board and lodg-
ing, was of a more startling nature to both him and his
helpmate.

“I shall live with you, and promise to give you very little
trouble,” said Maria.

“'To be sure, we have a bed, such as it is, and in a day
two we might get a few things.”

“But I can’t say as Iam any thing of a cook,” said ¢ »
wife.

“] require no cooking,” cried Maria, in great anxiety and
the bargain was soon concluded. She took a seat nv.;< the
fire, and, whilst the wife departed to prepare her bed, began
eagerly to arrange all her future plans with the husband,
whom she soon accompanied into the place destined to be
the scene of her gains and her labors, and which she found
calculated for its purpose beyond her hopes.

When this was over, she returned into the house, and
found, upon the uncovered table, a substantial loaf and a
piece of pale, unpromising cheese. Maria recollected, at
this appearance, that she had taken no tea, and she wished
for a cup exceedingly ; but, fearful of giving extraordinary
trouble on her first entrance, and resolved to embrace in its
fullest extent the change she had imposed on herself, she sat
down and cut herself a piece of bread, but was beginning to
find that she could not persuade nor command it down her
throat, when Sally Mitchell placed a foaming pint of beer
on the table, to which she invited her with all the good-will
of a kind heart offering a valuable gift.

“TI never drink malt liquor,” said Maria, “ but I will take a
little ”

“ Wine and water” was on the point of following ; but she
checked herself, and said “ spring water.”

“As you please, miss,” said Sally ; “ we have a very good
pump ; but to see how pale you look, and how different you be
fra when I seed ye about half a year back a-riding with poor

“Iv’s very good advice,” said William, “because if you
goes for to do business, ma’am, and to live by labor, and
with poor folks, you’ll find it quite needful to take support
same as they.”

Maria felt her heart grateful for the interest evinced in
this recommendation, and, determined to find no obstacles to
her establishment, she took the jug and drank heartily. The
sense of present refreshment, she experienced, was suc-
ceeded by heaviness ; and as she had never closed her eyes
the night before that, even on the hard truckle-bed of Sally
Mitchell she enjoyed a long, salutary sleep, in which her
worn-out frame and spirits regained the strength so greatly
needed.



64 DECISION,

CHAPTER VIL

Maria had retired to her humble cabin at an hour so
unusually early, that the long, refreshing sleep she had en-
joyed left her with the dawn of day, which flung its
beams through the uncurtained windows, and aroused her
to resume those energies, aud prove the stability of those
resolutions, so lately but so decidedly adopted,

Yet it was some time before she could conquer the sense
of surprise and dismay which seized on her senses, and
confused her faculties. “Where could she be? how deplor-
able was the place! how coarse the sheets! what noise and
confusion were around her! ”

By degrees she remembered her situation — remembered
that this day she was to embark on a new state of existence
in every respect; that humility, labor, zeal, integrity, and
constancy in well-doing, were the virtues to which, in the
act of thus embarking on a new, untried, and tempestuous
ocean, she had fully pledged herself; that henceforward
she must deem herself tied to the oar, not less by duty than
choice, and since the renunciation of all the pleasures of her
past life was required from her, must endeavor to find pleas-
ure in the exercise of powers, the anticipation of rewards,
hitherto unknown and unsought for.

Retiring to the corner of her chamber, she knelt down,
and long and fervently besought her heavenly Father to
strengthen her weakness, confirm her resolution, guide her
ignorance, and enable her so to place the future welfare of
her parents before her eyes, that her motive for self-devo
tion might ever operate on her mind, and bestow the activity



DECISION. 65

and patience she required: for them too she prayed; but
then her heart melted, her eyes overflowed, yet she arose
calm and comforted.

Mitchell was down stairs, awaiting her commands, and a
single hour sufficed for their preparations ; a fire was made
in the warehouse, a quantity of dry straw laid on one side of
it: a wagon-load of iron bars soon afterwards were there
deposited ; an old desk and a stool, left by the last occupants,
were at present sufficient for the new one, but a pair of
magnificent scales were purchased by Mitchell in the neigh-
borhood, and suspended by him from the ceiling, as such
things had formerly been.

When this was arranged, Maria knew that she could
breakfast. On going into the house to request a cup of tea,
she found preparation made to that effect, whilst large
basins of boiled milk, stuffed with bread, formed the more
substantial beverage of her companions. Sensible that such
food would be more likely to suit the hunger she really felt,
and that she might hereafter feel, she determined on adopt-
ing it, and told Mrs. Mitchell she would henceforward drink
tea only in the evening, when they would take it together —
information received with great pleasure, as until now this
luxury had seldom been seen in the establishment of poor
Sally save on Sundays.

Advertisements were not the fashion of that day, nor were
they wanted; a sheet of paper written in a large hand,
stuck in the house window, announced the welcome fact,
that artisans in steel might have their material supplied in
small quantities, of the best quality, at the market price, and
the news ran from mouth to mouth through garrets and
sinithies, workshops and dwelling-houses, with equal ra-
pidity —every where it was received with joy, as containing
the promise of good ; the discontented workman saw in it the
power of emancipating himself from real or supposed tyran-
ny; the humble manufacturer felt that it would relieve him
from the actual despotism of those great iron-masters, who
had long held him in bondage; and ina very short time,

more respectable customers appeared than even the san-
guine prognostications of Mitchell had ever calculated upon.

The appearance of Maria in a pair of thick leather gloves,
a French night-cap, surmounted by her beaver hat, and a
brown Holland apron tied over her habit, surprised all who
came; and when from her name, and a glance at her nearly
concealed face, they were led to believe that the person
before them could be no other “than beautiful Miss Fal-
coner of Grove Place,” surprise, astonishment, and pity,
involyed them all in silence. The time had not yet arrived
when the lower classes were infected with those half.
digested ideas of liberty and equality which taught them to
rejoice in the sufferings of their superiors, and tempted them
to aim at pulling down the high, and trampling on the
fallen. They all knew that misfortune and death had
visited the mercantile house to which she belonged ; but
they had always understood that "Squire Falconer and his
lady were more nobly descended, more substantially pro-
vided, than any other, even of the rich people of the town;
that they were of a class distinct and above those to whom
they were accustomed to look up; and such a change, such
a fall as this was petrifying.

Maria weighed her iron bars with as little awk wardness,
and as much precision, as could be expected, firmly declin-
ing, as far as possible, even Mitchell’s assistance; and after
serving three persons at a time, she then walked to her rough
desk, to calculate the amount of each parcel, and receive
the money: for that purpose she took off the thick brown
leather gloves with which her hands were guarded.

“'The Lord ha mercy on us, what hands!” Such was the
first exclamation that broke on Maria’s ear: it proceeded
involuntarily from the lips of a begrimed, thick-set son of
Vulcan, with shirt-sleeves rolled up to his shoulders; the
rest of his squat form was enveloped in that useful garment,
a leathern dick or apron, and a beard of some standing
formed a contrast to a clean striped cap, which had been
put on to give respectability to his appearance as a customer.



DECISION. 67

Maria half started at his voice, and still more on finding him
so near her, as he tendered a crown and some sixpences,
which he was going to couut into her hand.

The start did not offend John Bilson, who felt that he had
perhaps unwillingly given pain, and he began to frame an
apology.

“JT doant mean to say nout ageeanst yer hands, miss,
madom— nobbut they’re varry white, and varry little, more
fitter for playin at the top of yer musicals, and sewing at
embroideries, than handling iron — that’s all.”

“They are hands that have fed the hungry, and cloathed
the neaked, as I’ve hard say,” observed one of his neigh-
bors ; “so ’tis not right te make no observations upon things
as is past and gone.”

“ Zounds, mon, don’t preach,” cried John; “TPve noa
doubt on’t, and wi God’s blessing they’ll doo’t again. Mad-
am, I’m the first parson as have given ye money — shake
hands wi’ me for luck —I mean no offence whatever.”

Maria laid her hand freely on the broad, black palm of
her first customer, and, as she did so, looked in his face, and
saw that his eyes were full of tears: fearful of showing his
emotion, he hastily turned away, shouldered his purchase,
and withdrew. No other person attempted the like liberty ;
Maria was not called upon to repel impertinence, or to
silence loquacity ; all seemed aware that there was “a great
gulf between them,” and since there could be no higgling
on the subject of price, no choice in the quality or appear-
ance of the article ; since the buyers, contrary to all similar
situations in which such persons stand, were the obliged
parties, the day, though one of great fatigue, yet served to
show Maria that it was possible for her to endure that which
she had adopted, and even to be thankful that she found it
no worse.

It is true that she could not eat the coarse, half-cooked
meat which furnished Sally Mitchell’s provision for dinner,
and she dreaded lying down again on the hard pallet, con-
scious that it would not afford a second night of undisturbed



68 DECISION.

repose ; but the remembrance of the kind, though rough,
faces she had seen around her soothed her Spirits more the
more she reflected upon them ; and if any one had been near
her, to whom she could have spoken, she would have been
eloquent in her praise of that genuine sensibility, which can
inform the humblest children of humanity with all the re-
finements of delicate attention — lively, yet deep respect.
She rejoiced that, by frequent intercourse with poverty, asa
benefactress, her ear had become accustomed to phraseology
that would have been otherwise, perhaps, uncouth and dis-
gusting, and that her dealings were with the decidedly low,
in preference to the vulgar who ape gentility, and are dis-
gusting alike from ignorance and affectation.

Could she have sat down with Frank, at the end of her
day’s labor, to describe the characters, or laugh at the ad-
ventures and embarrassments it had offered, — could she
meet her mother’s gentle smile, listen to her father’s pros-
pects of success, — this life might surely be borne. Alas!
she felt that she must support it without any such helps; in
lowliness of heart, in unshared conflict of mind, or commu-
nication of intellect, she must persevere in her rugged path.

A very few days sufficed to show Maria that it is not
always “le premier pas qui coute.” All her first customers
had recovered from their taciturnity the moment they left
her presence, and related to every one they saw the won-
derful scene in which they had borne a part —the fact,
“that Miss Falconer was lodging at the house of her father’s
warehouseman, and selling iron,” ran from the manufactory
to the counting-house, from the kitchen to the drawing-
room, all through the extensive population of B——, and
even to its surrounding villages. When combined with the
absence of her father, it placed the affairs of that house he
now solely represented iu a more threatening point of view
than they had hitherto assumed, and it is certain that his
creditors, in some places, held consultations upon it, and
looked as if they knew not how to proceed. Their wives
and daughters, and those of many others in the higher circle



DECISION. 69

of the society of B——, were apparently beiter qualified to
judge; for, however they might differ as to the moy-
ing principle, or person, they alike condemned the action
exhibited. Some young ladies abused Mr. Falconer as the
most barbarous father who ever had existed, and imputed
much of his cruelty to the land of his birth, maintaining
that he alone must have caused his daughter to enter ona
situation so repugnant to her habits; and there were not
wanting some who described the terrible scene which took
place between them on the occasion. Others averred “ that
Maria bad a penchant for young Ingalton, which being dis-
covered by her proud parents, she had been driven from
their house, and compelled to adopt a trade, which, requir-
ing no knowledge, and belonging, in some measure, to the
connection of her future husband, she held only till he
should return, when they would marry, and play at ‘ love
in a cottage’ for the rest of their lives ” —a declaration which
called a tender sigh of sympathy from some lips, and made
others curl with disdain.

The elder ladies pretty generally inveighed against Maria’s
conduct, on the score of indelicacy, presumption, and inde-
pendence: the vehement protested against young women
who could think of such a thing as leaving their father’s
house to herd with low people; if the girl really knew she
was ruined, and must earn her bread, why not go out as a
lady’s maid? or why not learn millinery? or, as she was
a mighty bookish miss, try to keep a circulating library ?
The mild thought it was always wrong for woman to intrude
on the province of man — it was perverting the order of things,
and could never prosper. All agreed, that, although Miss
Falconer was very handsome, very clever and accomplished,
very fond of her parents, good to the poor, and so forth, yet
“there was something odd about her.” Each could recollect
a little eccentricity or peculiarity ; one observed, “ that she was
fond of conversing with men, arguing points, and asking ques-
tions, us if her mind were like theirs;” another, “ that she
had an Jrish kind of partiality to animals, which proved that



Sn

she had originally been brought up with them, — poor crea.
ture !—and therefore returned, perhaps not unwillingly, to
the abodes of filthy people ;” a third remembered, “ that she
had quite a passion for poetry, and, though it was not gener
ally known, yet in fact she wrote verses herself, wnic- =|
a sure proof of a romantic turn, and had, probably, led to
this strange resolution.” It was observed, on all sides, that
it would not last long, but that it could not fail to cast a
lasting stigma on the poor creature who had so insanely
adopted it.

All these opinions and Judgments, with every shade and’
variation they could receive, necessarily fell on the ear of
poor Mrs. Ingalton, who loved Maria fondly, because she
knew her well; and greatly were her own troubles increased
(great as they were) by information so astonishing in the
first instance, and condemnation so excessive in the second.

She endeavored to convince her informers that the whole
story was false — that there was some imposition in it; but
when driven from that by those who protested they had ac-
tually visited the horrid place where she lived, and even so
far peeped in as to see a queer-looking, muffled-up woman,
with half a dozen forgemen about her, the crime was proved,
and the state of the culprit could not be denied.

Mrs. Ingalton and her eldest daughter proceeded to the
place in the dusk of the evening, and found Maria still at
the receipt of custom, and so busy, that she was some time
before she perceived them; as the last customer took up his
iron, she advanced towards them, raising her hat from her
brow, and displaying to them an open, friendly countenance.

“Maria! is it indeed you that I find thus employed ?—]
heard, but could not believe it — for Heaven’s sake, what is
the meaning of all this? ”

“JT mean, dear Mrs. Ingalton, in the first place, to earn my
own bread, which, I promise you, shall be for some time coarse
in quality, and not superabundant in quantity, that I may the
sooner provide it for my parents also. I hope Emily also
will, in some way more agreeable to her own notions, follow
my example.”



DECISION. 71

“Have you, then, had any private communication from
my son? Do you consider us as ruined ?”

“I have not —I know nothing new, nothing, at least, re-
specting business, from Mr. Francis Ingalton ; but I do know
that, whatever may be your future lot, our doom is sealed
—and I will not stand by and see my mother rendered
houseless, without making an effort to provide her a roof of
some kind. I know the whole of our acquaintance are con-
demning me; | know that from Mitchell; but I can bear it.”

“No one can blame you for seeking to help your parents,
if there should prove occasion for your exertion; but on
such a subject you should have thought much, have taken
advice. Your father could never, surely, dictate this.”

“ My father! you know well, Mrs. Ingalton, that my father
has never seen a cloud in the sky, nor will do it, till the
storm bursts, which will overwhelm him. I have thought
much, and reasoned long, ere I either formed my plan or
adopted my resolution. My opinions on the nature of that
business in which I have engaged arose from what the first
men in the place have frequently advanced — little money,
little knowledge, but great industry, and great firmness, are
called for: you know how well the first apply to me — it
remains for me to prove the last.”

“It will break your mother’s heart to see you thus — it
will indeed, Maria.”

“QO, no! it will save that heart from breaking; for it is an
honest heart, and is now relieved from a secret much heavier
than my rods of iron: besides, dear Mrs. Ingalton, you will
mention it to her with tenderness, I know you will — to-mor-
row evening go to them, break it to them, and soften it as
well as you are able.”

“ But may I promise you will renounce it ?”

“Certainly not. My resolution to persevere is inevitable ;
I have forbidden Mitchell ever again to tell me one single
report or surmise on my conduct. I will go on in despite
of the world, for I know not only my motives to be good,
but my prospects, and I will not suffer my mind to be



72 DECISION,

weighed down by the calumny of others, or the feelings
of my own heart —I will be as hard as the article I deal in,
Who will suffer in the affair as I have suffered and must
suffer ? who can know the pangs”

Mrs. Ingalton wept bitterly, but Maria slowly paced the
floor, and removed the straw which obtruded beyond its
bounds, as if even here she wished to observe her accus-
tomed neatness.

“ Will you not go home with us, Maria?” resumed Mrs.
Ingalton, when she was able to speak,

“No, thank ye —I must not render my hard fare more
unpalatable by mixing it with better; it will be some months
before 1 shall venture upon any indulgences of that kind; —
this is my resolution. All I will, at this time, accept from
you, is a little bed-linen —in a short time I shall be rich
enough, to buy myself many little comforts.”

As Maria spoke, she exhibited a large canvass purse, very
full of silver, and another, in which were a few half-guineas,
and, as she did so, there was a little of that laughing arch-
ness in her eye, and dimpled smile in her expressive mouth,
which, in better days, had been the subject of Mrs. Ingal-
ton’s admiration, and which she believed at this very mo-
ment held the heart of her beloved Frank in bondage. She
was compelled to take her leave, and she went home to her
house oppressed with sorrow, and trembling for the dénoue-
ment of the morrow.

Yet when Mrs. Ingalton revolved the matter im her mind
dispassionately, she could not fail to see that, in all her
conclusions, Maria was unquestionably right, and that her
conduct was dictated by the purest motives, and even the
wisest principles. She looked earnestly on her own situ-
ation, rallied her own powers, computed those of her
daughters, nor did she lay her head on her pillow till she
had fairly calculated their chance of succeeding in a board-
ing school, and concluded to seek advice on the subject from
Maria herself:





DECISION. 73:

CHAPTER IX.

In the new view of affairs which Mrs. Ingalton’s mind
had adopted, it will be properly concluded that she repre-
sented the resolution taken by Maria, and the situation she
had chosen, in the most favorable light that it could be
placed, and in every respect endeavored to conciliate her
parents, or rather her father; for, however Mrs. Falconer
might lament the loss of her society, and the degradation to
which she had submitted, it was impossible for her not to
honor the principle, and feel even grateful for the love, which
dictated such a sacrifice. Mr. Falconer’s perception of the
matter was, unhappily, completely the reverse; his pride
and his poverty equally took the alarm, and, whilst the first
urged him to denounce his daughter as acting in a manner
totally unworthy of her ancestors and her education, undu-
tifully towards her parents, and unbecomingly as to all her
connections, the latter led him to apprehend that all his
creditors would, from such an exposure of the situation of
his wife’s finances, be induced to press him for that day of
settlement he dreaded to name.

That such an effect, to a certain degree. did follow, must
be admitted; it had been amongst those effects on which
Maria had calculated, and she had joined with this know}-
edge the consolatory remembrance, that those poor trades-
men, to whom sinall sums were of great importance, would
at the present time find her father able to discharge them,
in doing which his credit would be strengthened. She
knew perfectly well that, although an imprudent, adventur-

ous, and speculative man, her father was intentionally hon-
7



“74 DECISION.

‘est, in the strictest sense of the word, — honorable and liberal
‘in all his transactions ; and that inability to discharge such
‘obligations would entail upon him regret which, in his
present reduced state, he was ill able to endure. Her con-
jectures proved right — he paid them, eased his own heart
‘of the oppression, and blamed his daughter, as if she had
‘committed a positive robbery on his purse, and indulged
against her a strain of invective proportioned to the fond
regard and idolizing admiration with which he was wont to
_ tontemplate her.

‘l'o.such a degree did this temper proceed, that the poor
mother could at length bear it no longer; she wrote in the
.most moving terms to Maria, beseeching her “to abandon a
scheme which it would be cruel, almost impious, to pursue fur-
ther; since it had unhappily sown the first seeds of dissension
‘between her parents, and produced an effect on her father’s
temper, which neither the misfortunes of time past, nor the
.apprehension of time to come, had ever awakened; she
praised her warmly, thanked her tenderly for the efforts she
had made, but solemnly protested against the continuance of
them, declaring that she was ready to endure evil in any other
‘shape; butdhis she could not meet, since it separated her from
all .that .hitherto consoled and sustained her anxious, un-
shappy life.”

Over this meek but affecting statement of her mother’s
feelings, the still fond, tender, though resolute daughter wept,
and almost shuddered; she felt that she was indeed a very
young woman to act suv determinate a part — that the purest
intention would not justify erroneous action, nor even success
warrant disobedience. Decided as she had been, and even
thus far justified in her expectation of deriving good, (even far
beyond her most sanguine hopes,) still it was possible that the
evil she incurred might not be obviated by the good she med-
itated — perhaps she was destroying, not only the peace, but
the health,.of her mother ; it might be that her obstinate ad-
herence to her system would bring back that terrible com-
plaint on her father, which had left behind it rayages she
dreaded to think of:



DECISION. 75

Yet, on the other hand, October was drawing nigh; Frank
Ingalton was returning (she dreaded to remember that) with
little money, and all that she had foreseen was necessarily
advancing ; and her father, at forty-three, with a wife scarcely
thirty-seven, must be cast on the mercy of a world, for which
the very dispositions they now evinced evidently rendered
them peculiarly unfit. How was a man so proud, so sensi-
tive, to endure servitude, which would inevitably be his por-
tion — since it was certain he had always been too much a
gentleman to be highly talented as a tradesman; with much
activity, he had little method ; with good theory on his tongue,
little practice of head or hand; liable to imposition, even
from a child, in cunning; generous to profusion, and utterly
devoid of all that wisdom conveyed in the advice, “ Take care
of pence — pounds take care of themselves.”

Moreover, she had now established a new and very thriv-
ing concern, which, if she laid down for but a week, would
be eagerly adopted by people with capital, who, seeing its
success, had already regretted their own want of foresight
in suffering such a mine to remain so long unwrought, yet
would not, at present, oppose so young and poor an adven-
turer, in her humble, and, as they now all began to feel, her
laudable attempt. If she dropped it, then it was gone for-
ever.; and whatever might be the trials it imposed, the toils
it occasioned, yet she felt that to her spirit there was less
of humiliation in it than any she could hope to adopt. Never
had she been degraded by the “proud one’s contumely,”
irritated by condescending patronage — the pity which in-
sults, the assistance which degrades.

It is true that low rogues had sought to cheat her ; that the
deceitful had, in a few instances, cajoled her; but these at-
tempts to impose on her credulity, and excite her charity,
had been effectually useful ; they had led her to explore the
cell of poverty where it really existed, and enabled her to
soothe the hour of want, and the bed of sickness, by a por-
tion of her hard-earned gains, a participation of her scanty
comforts: she had attained a power of encouraging the in-



76 DECISION.

dustrious, of controlling the idle, of benefiting many, and the
certain prospect of extending this power beyond calculation ;
it was, then, her duty to preserve it.

Doubtless, in these hopes and expectations of good, there
was the form of one whose name was not uttered, that
claimed a large share of consideration, and romantic visions
floated in the perspective which rational hope spread out.
Alas! she who could even yet have bestowed worlds upon
him hoped not to share them with him, but a fond and gen-
erous heart took refuge now from the oppression inflicted
_ by disappointment, in the dreams of friendship ; and although
it is probable that the fevered spirit felt as if the good it in-
tended must operate “ like coals of fire” on his heart, it yet
could not cease to meditate some assistance, or even aggran-
dizement, for one so long and tenderly beloved.

After all these reviews of the subject, Maria at length
cousidered it her duty to visit her parents, and Jay before
them a full statement of her feelings, her views, her profits,
and her prospects, yet without pledging herself to abandon
that which every examination rendered more valuable in her
sight. How she had longed to see them, how ardeutly she
desired to receive their approbation and their blessing, may be
conceived, even from her absence, since, strong-minded and
decisive as her conduct had already bespoke her, she had
not dared to meet countenances which would melt the sin-
ews of her resolve, and which, even in their kindness, would
sO agitate, and, as it were, unman her, as to unfit her for the
stern duties of her laborious and ceaseless round of oecu-
pation.

The following Sunday, under the escort of Mitchell, and
by a circuitous path, about the close of day, Maria once
nore presented herself before her parents: the very action
was an assurance to Mrs. Falconer that her letter had pro-
duced all the effect she desired, and she fell on her neck and
welcomed her with thankfulness not less than love ; it was
in vain, too, that her father endeavored to assume the anger
le had so often fulminated in her absence : his lip trembled,



DECISION. T7

the first touch of her hand disarmed him, and in another
moment she was locked in his arms.

Terrible, indeed, was this reception to the heart of Maria ;
she could have argued point by point, have produced facts,
pleaded necessities ; but how could she resist the tenderness,
the confidence in her submission, thus displayed ? — how
could she look on the whitening locks of her father, and
maintain her own superior wisdom? how dash from the
placid countenance of her mother that glowing happiness
now painted upon it, in an expression more bright than it
had worn for years ?

“ We have just received letters from our dear Francis Tn-
galton,” said Mrs. Falconer; “ he will be here next week,
most probably.”

Mr. Falconer gave a profound sigh, and immediately the
smile which had illuminated his lady’s countenance was dis-
persed.

“Do not sigh, father,” said Maria; “ something will be
done, depend upon it.”

« Something has been done, most blamably done; but J
will not reproach you for the past, Maria.”

“Nor, I trust, for the future, since it is certain that all |
have done, and mean to do, is for you.”

“ Ridiculous! what can the earnings of a few paltry shil-
lings, drawn from the black paws of the lowest rabble, do ?
Will your profits find strings to your harp, Miss Falconer ?”

“ Allow me to show you, dear father —to explain to you
the advantage — the necessity — the ”

“Heavens! would you make me a party to your disgrace ?

even to visit my dwelling; but as I fear the time may come -

“ Maria, Maria, do not reproach us!” cried the mother, in
a voice of agouy.

“ Go away, girl —is it not enough that you have disgraced
us — injured us — must you insult us also ?”

As Mr. Falconer spake, he caught his wife in his arms,
and with an angry motion, such as he had never used to her
even in the days of childhood, pointed to the door.

“1 go,” said Maria, haughtily — for anger at that moment
flushed her cheek, and dried the tears that had lingered in
her eyes. “I go, but my mother may recall me; and re-
member, f have used uo word of reproach. I have not
deserved — but I will say nothing — you have preserved
me, and I ought to thank you for confirming me in my
decision.”

CHAPTER X.

Mazza left the room, and was hastening out of the house 5
but her steps were arrested by those four-footed friends we
have already alluded to, and the sound of their congratula-
tions brought Kathleen also, who hung around her darling
with all the doting fondness and obstreperous sorrow pe-
culiar to her country. Maria took her by the hand, and
resolutely approaching the door, the old woman flung her
apron over her head, and conceiving that she was going to
hear some secret, suddenly became quiet, and walked out
with her.

They entered the paddock, and there Maria calmed the
beatings of a heart whose pulsation had been quickened by
various emotions in the inquiries she stopped to make on
every particular of the health of both her parents. The
answers were, on the whole, very satisfactory ; nor could she
be sorry to find also that two servants had been provided
with places in the neighborhood; but a sigh certainly rose,
when Kathleen added, —

“It was all the better, for sartin, that George should go,
seeing as he had no work at all, when the mare was sould
away to young Birchett ” —

“The mare ? — my pretty Fanny”

“© yes! sure; and you did’nt know then? and is it me
that has tould you the news? ill luck to the tongue that did
it, for 1 know it will grieve you.”

“ No, no; it is all right—she has got a good manger and
a kind master — I am content.”

“ Nay, nay ; as to content, blessins on the swate voice of ye,





Ss) DECISION.

there’s no content in the case at all, but only, ye see, it just
broke the hearts of them — of your parents I mane —to set
eyes on her, and the cratur was of no use, seeing master
was too heavy for her; so, when the youth, who is quite a
bit stripling, said how he’d do by her, and offered a mighty
high price into the bargain, madam said as how it was their
duty to let it go; but her eyes were as red after it as if
the blood had come from her heart to bathe them; so they
were.”

“ But, good Kathleen, you must turn back: you see I have
Mitchell following ; he will take care of me; but you will be
alone.”

“But why cannot I go wi ye altogidder, miss? surely Pll
work my fingers to the bone for ye;— sleep on straw, and
eat pratees the rest of my days —if you are poor, (as they tell
me you are,) is it not proper I should be poorer still, being
your sarvant? Now, pray answer me that — do answer it.”

“You are older than I, my good Kathleen.”

“ And no mighty matter o’ that rather ; some forty years is
the outside on’t; an thof my lady has made me asy in my
please, there’s good work in me yet for many’s the day to
come.”

“JI know it, my good Kathleen; and depend upon it, you
shall work for me by and bye; only don’t ery, and you
shall do any thing.”

“But how can I help it? Am I not delighted to labor,
and to starve, and to sup sorrow by spoonfuls? and deuce a
drop can I get of it—ye take it all on yourself — ye do,
ye do, Miss Falconer; an it isn’t handsome of ye.”

The reiterated assurances that in a very short time she
should share in all her troubles at length induced Kathleen to
return, and her young, idolized lady pursued her melancholy
walk with pensive steps, and a sense of deep depression on
her spirits, which she felt utterly incapable of shaking off.
Sincerely did she now repent that she had suffered her
original plan to be so far infringed upon as to have subjected
herself to vexation which had answered no good end, and



DECISION. Sl

awakened in her memory those thousand pangs of recel-
lected pleasures, hopes, and even sorrows, which it was
necessary to blunt and destroy, or at least supplaut, by less
endearing but more appropriate ideas.

The morning was long in its approach to her now sleep-
less eyes; but when it came again, the press of business, the
sense of usefulness, and even the perpetual necessity of
self-control, roused her from that enfeebling dejection which
threatened more to subdue the energy and sap the vigor of
her mind, than violent emotion. Again she counted her
profits, calculated the amount of that which she required, or
which she had a probability of insuring, and, for that time
at least, might be said to “go on her way rejoicing.” But
when the remembrance of Frank’s near approach struck on
her heart, at such moments it inflicted intolerable anguish,
and put to flight all sober calculation, all promise of that
calmness necessary for her pursuits, of that happiness which
ought to be their reward.

Yet, when Frank actually arrived, and called upon her
with his mother, she had the satisfaction of seeing him with
more self-possession thau her fiuttering bosom had pre-
viously promised. She thought him much altered, much
improved, in fact, both as to the manliness of his person, and
the ease, steadiness, and quiet importance, of his manners,
which argued that self-reliance and conscious assumption
of necessary knowledge so desirable in every man. He was,
however, all the less, that pale student, that interesting young
man, whose virtuous struggles, warm affections, and soaring
mind, had charmed her imagination, and stolen unwittingly
into her heart: it was, however, certain that he became more
like himself every moment; and Maria, for the first time in
her life, heard him depart with a sensation of relief.

Frank did not visit her again, though he failed in no other
mode of attention which he found would be acceptable ; but
that business which she had strongly urged upon him in this
interview, and which her example still more strongly inculca-
ted, required every moment of his time, and scarcely allowed



RQ DECISION.

him to give to the real object of his love that attention his
heart accorded, but which every circumstance in his unfor-
tunate situation forbade him to indulge.

One Sunday morning, just after returning from that which
had now become her parish church, Maria was surprised
by a visit from Ellen. She wore, on her entrance, a cheerful
countenance ; but, on casting her eyes around, the composure
she had assumed forsook her, and she was scarcely able to
speak,

“Come into my bedroom,” said Maria; “you will be
better there, my dear.”

But Ellen felt as if she were worse, as she again looked
round, and remembered the beautiful chamber, and the ad-
Joining boudoir, where they had spent so many happy hours,
unconscious that care or poverty was ever likely to reach
them.

“Tam happy, Ellen, in having anticipated those changes
which I perceive are now affecting you; it is a great
deal better to adopt them from choice than necessity, to
feed our own pride by firmness and decision, than endure
the wounds which others may inflict upon it.”

“ Ah, Maria, you are indeed a heroine ; but I am not.”

Maria felt that Ellen was that which she, alas! could
never be; but she rallied her spirits, and said cheerfully, —

“Dear Ellen, we will not talk of my qualities, but my
success ; your gift was invaluable, and I have so turned my
little stock, that it has cleared me already nearly seventy
pounds, besides paying for my board, purchasing these
chairs, that counterpane, and several other articles towards
housekeeping, on which, I assure you, I cast very different
eyes from you, saucy girl as you are.”

“ Dear Maria, lam come to talk to you on that very sub-
ject —to beg you will take the money which your father
paid to me as my fortune, last Thursday, in the presence of
Sir James. I certainly never expected any thing after what
you had said, still less desired that my generous, dear guar-
dian should distress himself about it; but he insisted on



DECISION. 83

paying it, and even the interest due since my coming of
age. Allis here; if you can make so much money out of
a little, I trust you will make a great deal out of this, and be
able to help those excellent parents effectually, whom we.
are equally bound to assist.”

As Ellen spake, she laid on the table a draft on the banker
of Sir James Trevannion for nearly nine hundred pounds,
observing he thought it safer than notes; and although his
lady set her down at a little distance, they were unwilling
to trust cash to her care, she was so little accustomed to a
town.

Maria heard not a word of this exordium; her heart
swelled in her bosom almost to suffocation ; her eye glanced
from the drafi to Ellen’s face, which was very pale, but not
the variation of a single feature gave indication of change in
her sentiments ; and when she had deliberately placed it in
her pocket-book, Ellen whispered, “ ‘Thank you, Maria.”

“ Bravo, Ellen! Now who is the heroine ? ”

“Not I, lam sure; I should be the most ungrateful being
that lived if 1 forgot”

“QO, yes! yes! 1 know what the value of such a sac-
rifice at such a moment is; but I am satisfied —I will
be happy: you merit him, and you shall marry bim; I will
raise heaven and earth in your behalf—1 will carry the
point.”

With these words Maria, oppressed to suffocation by
mingled emotions, burst into a flood of tears.

At length the desire to conceal, even from Ellen, the real
state of her heart, enabled her to appear composed, and it
was not difficult to deceive her; for Ellen felt only surprised
liow she could have received her at all, without displaying
that agitation her situation seemed to call for. She blushed
excessively, and would have asked Maria “ what she meant,”
but for the consciousness that she had for two days been
really fighting a hard battle between her deep regard for her
guardian and her unbounded love for Maria on the one
hand, and the still tenderer preference she felt for the inter-





84 DECISION.

ests of her lover on the other ; and she dreaded any further
exposition of feelings she was too artless to hide. Maria
relieved her by saying, “ Why did not my father pay you
this when you came of age, my dear Ellen 2”

“He said the law justified him in the delay of six months,
which he gladly took, lest I should, by lending you any part
of it, encourage you in what he once considered wrong, and
indeed never should approve; and he added, that, as you
were a minor, it was not possible for any person to lend you
money safely.”

“Can that be true ?” said Maria.

“ It certainly is, for Sir James said so too.”

“Then why did he allow you to bring me this ?”

“ Because I told him that I would have it to give you, not
lend you; so that security was of no use in the business
at all.”

“'There are, dear Ellen, who say that love matures the
understanding, and makes many a giddy girl into a thoughtful
woman ; but the worldly wise would say the reverse was
your case.”

“'They would say wrong, for I thought much, I felt much ;
but your example inspired me, decided me: see what it has
also done for Mrs. Ingalton ; she has procured friends, taken
a house, and hopes to begin a boarding-school at Christmas :
it is all owing to you, and Frank says so ; but every body will,
in time, say the same, and that there never was such a daugh-
ter born as you, cruel as your reward has hitherto been,”

Maria wished the “every body” had been forgotten for
the one person’s sake; but she could ask no questions,
not even on those points which it most concerned her to
Know, and, without informing Ellen what she intended to do
with her money, suffered her to depart, and seek rewards in
her conscience and her friendship — consolation in the
envied society of Frank, whom she was not less inclined to
thank for this generous boon than Ellen herself.



DECISION. 85

CHAPTER XL.

THe time was now arrived, when the long-dreaded settle-
ment of affairs could be postponed no longer by the sole
representative of that house to which our friend beionged.
Frank had, with the utmost exertion, been able to glean but
a small portion of debts left by Mr. Mayton; and although it
was confidently reported that the banking house, by which
they were such great losers, had considerable property, it
would be a long period before it could be called in, or ren-
dered effective in producing dividends.

It therefore followed that every thing left in the power of
the survivors must be brought forward to liquidate claims
which had been frequently made in vain already, and given
to the house an appearance of deficiency beyond the truth.
Mrs. Ingalton, accustomed to suffering, and now first obtain-
ing light whereby to see her duty, and hope as to the issue,
freely gave up all she had possessed, too conscious that the
property brought by her late husband to the concern was
trifling in comparison with that of poor Falconer and his
richly-dowried wife ; and her son lost no time in brirging
forward his accounts, remittances, and stock in hand; much
more was not required, for the whole demand could not be
considered great, when the former importance of the busi
ness was recollected, and the losses sustained by it.

In truth, from time to time, the property of Mr. Falcone)
had been called upon for the supply of all emergencies, the
pursuit of all speculations. Mayton had preyed upon him
systematically, and Ingalton, who was an amiable and good
man, had become so involved as to do it from necessity ; and

8



86 DECISION,

his affliction from that cause confirmed the disease that con
sumed him. The frequent sale of property, to which the
o1ice wealthy partner was compelled to have recourse, in-
jured the credit of the house, and thus reduced it, in a
double sense, long before the-time when the failure of the
bank at Dantzic confirmed its ruin.

Ever closing his eyes to danger, and deriving hope from
the sanguine temper which had misled him through life, Mr.
Falconer, now the hour of distress reall y arrived, abandoned
all to his creditors, not only with the frank honesty of an
upright man, but the astonishment and despair of one who
for the first time discovers danger of which he had never
been warned, and troubles for which he was utterly unpre-
pared. So much was pity excited for his state, and that of
his faultless wife, (whose only cares were for his health,) that
the principal creditor of the house most kindly offered to
take all his property at a fair valuation, and carry the money
it should produce to his credit, and told him, “on no account
to hurry himself in evacuating the premises.”

When this was done, to the astonishment of many, and
the satisfaction of all interested, it was found that the house,
so long subject to suspicion, paid within a mere trifle all
that was brought against it; and full proof was therefore
given that, within a short period, there was a handsome
surplus. This was often repeated in every possible way to
Mr. Falconer by his lady, but she could not rouse him to
taste of comfort; even the want of that little residue op-
pressed and galled him; he refused to be seen by even his
best friends, and if he had not happily had the power of still
flattering himself with the belief (however slightly founded)
that he should eventually regain property from Dantzic, his
mind undoubtedly had sunk into an utter wreck.

A few weeks previous to this arrangement, their old
friend, Mr. Elderton, returned from Germany, and, having
already heard something of Maria’s movements, lost not an
hour in hastening to see her. She had by this time fitted up
a.small room, which was one of the four which constituted



~

DECISION. 87

Mitchell’s house, into a kind of counting-house parlor, where
he found her regulating ber books, and for some moments
too much engaged to notice his entrance.

The old man took off his spectacles to wipe away the
moisture on them just as Maria looked up. ‘The moment
she saw him, all the cares and the manners of her new oc-
cupation ceased, and she flew into his arms, delighted to
see him, and protesting “that she had sighed for him a
whole twelvemonth, and deemed him a recreant knight.”

“I have had a great deal to do, and to go through,” said
Mr. Elderton; “I have lost a large sum of money, or at least
‘Jost the use of it, (for I do think we shall all be paid at last,)
and, as lam growing older, and have neither wife nor child,
nor even near relation, have resolved to draw my affairs into
a smaller compass, and to close my German connections
altogether.

“ Had I known,” continued he, “what you were doing, I
would have come home sooner, child, to teach you, and
support you under the trial you have so nobly entered
upon.”

“That you would, lam certain; but you are in good time
now; for Frank is returned, and” ——

«1 know it, child, and know also that he has done his
duty whilst he was abroad; in short, that he is an excellent
young man; we will talk about him by and bye: in the first
place, what can I do for you?”

“The greatest possible service — speak well of Frank to
the ereditors of our house, which will incline them to lenient
measures; move them in my poor father’s behalf, and, if
possible, save him from the pain of a public sale of his ef-
fects ; for be assured that he will give up every thing, beyond
the expectations, and almost the wishes, of his creditors.”

“Good! What else ?”

“Visit him, comfort him, give him distant hopes of the
Dantzic money, keep him from all self-reproach, and speak
of me as if we were perfectly friends, which will save him
from the awkwardness of yielding, the pain of accepting



&8 DECISION.

help from one he has treated a Little unwisely and unkindly,
but, as Yorick says, ‘not from his heart?”

It was under this influence, therefore, that the affair was
managed in the manner we have anticipated. When it was
thus arranged, Maria, whose spirits, in their great anxiety
and excitement, bore her through new and excessive fatigue,
one evening, at a late hour, called on Mr. Elderton, and re-
quested him to accompany her to look at a house she was
about taking for her parents.

“It is a pretty-looking place near ,out of repair at
present, to which a piece of common right is just now ad-
judged; has a back screen of elm-trees, and a pleasant
view from the front windows. over a flower-garden.”

“T know it perfectly well; old Bisset lived there; it isa
very pleasant place, and a good house, but wants repair :
the garden is a wilderness.”

“That is my reason for taking it. I get it cheap, on a
long lease, with a power of purchase, and I have no fear of
being able to spare money by degrees, to render it neat and
commodious: tis my great comfort that making it so will
employ my father: you know he cannot live without im-
proving something, speculating on something, and I know
nothing he is more likely to do than render his home com-
fortable, for my dear mother’s sake.”

“You are right, child, quite right, especially in prefer-
ring his welfare to your own natural desire of providing a
place, which, however small, should exhibit your own taste
and neatness. I will see your landlord to-morrow, and ex-
amine your lease; and now go home, for I am busy. But
tell me the truth — did you not come to borrow money ?”

“No,” said Maria, smiling, “not this time; by and by 1
shall appear on that errand.”

She departed, and in the course of another week, with the
aid of Mitchell and John Bilson, who was as fond of seek-
ing a job for her as from her, all her purchases, and what-
ever else was necessary for the accommodation of a sma)]
family, were placed in the house, one parlor of which was





DECISION. 8&9

handsomely papered, carpeted, and rendered every way
genteel and comfortable, thereby affording at once a com-
modious habitation, and an incitement to improve the ex-
terior, consistent with it. A small bed was put up for her-
self, Kathleen’s wants abundantly considered, and an active
young woman hired as her assistant. Beyond this Maria
durst not engage at present ,

Her last journey was to take provisions, to place every
thing in the most easy and habitable form, see that her beds
were aired, her saucepans seasoned. “ Ah!” said Maria,
«sweet are the uses of adversity! How much have they
already taught me! I have been compelled to cook, or I must
have been starved. Ihave become an adept at upholstery, or
my little money would never have spun out so far. One
desperate plunge has taught me how to swim in the rough-
est waters.”

It was now winter, and again, on a Sunday evening, Maria
bent her way to her father’s house ; she entered by the back
road, and, after gladdening the heart of Kathleen by com-
manding her to pack up her clothes immediately, proceeded
to the breakfast parlor, at present the only room used by the
reduced inhabitants. She found her mother reading, or
endeavoring to read, the gospel of the day to her father, who
sometimes listened with the eager air of one who is earnestly
seeking for the comforts he greatly needs, at others cast his
eyes around in all the listless abstraction of wandering, dis-
tressful mind. Both were pale and thin, but the appearance
of Mr. Falconer was much more haggard than his wife ; his
dress was that of melancholy negligence, hers was very
plain, but perfectly neat; it was evident that she struggled
to support herself, to save him from the unutterable pangs
her sufferings and self-desertion would unquestionably have
inflicted on him.

Maria’s light foot was not perceived on her entrance, and
she stood reading the expression on each beloved coun-
tenance, herself pale, fluttered, but too happy to he painfully
overcome, even by the affecting sight before her. She pro-

8 *



90 DECISION.

nounced the word “mother” in a quick, tremulous voice,
and the eyes of both were instantly turned upon her.

Maria sank upon her knees aud clasped her arms around her
father. “Forgive me, dear sir — forgive your naughty Maria.”

“Tam in no humor for jesting, Maria,” said Mr. Falconer,
a momentary hectic tinging his pale cheek: “I have noth-
ing, perhaps, to forgive in you, since it was policy, sound
policy, to quit a falling house ” ——

“Nay, dear father,” said Maria, still trying to smile, “ but ]
have got a falling house, which you, and only you, will be
able to build up. Such as it is, however, it is yours, only
yours, and, so far, better than this, which is borrowed, and, as
Iam given to understand, wanted by Mr. Abdy for his son,
who is going to marry Eliza Greenlaw.”

“ What shall we do ?” said Mr. Falconer, looking wistfully
at his wife.

“ What shall we do, my love, but listen to our dear Maria,
our matchless girl ?”

“No; I cannot see you in sucha place ; I can die first.
To-morrow I will exert myself. I will”

“'To-night, dear father, you will go with me. I tell you
the truth ; I have a home for you on the outskirts of the town,
where no intruding eye shall glance upon you, no want dis-
tress you. Kathleen and another servant are now ready
for you, and by the time your roquelaure and mamma’s
cardinal are adjusted, the chaise will be here ; your night-
clothes are all we remove for the present.”

“In such a hurry ?—on a Sunday night, too? Impos-
sible, child, impossible ! ”

“ Some things are done best in a hurry. Hark! the chaise
is at the gates. We will take the Bible with us, and only
that. Come, come, my dear father.”

Thus, with trembling eagerness, Maria caught her prize,
and when caged, her emotions overflowed in silent tears
that would no longer be suppressed, The fond pressure of
her mother’s hand, and afterwards her whisper, encouraged
her to persevere in those manners which were calculated to





DECISION. 91

save her father from any retrospect of his faults or misfor-
tunes, that might awaken acute sorrow, and in a very few
minutes she began again to speak.

«Indeed, my dear father, you must exert yourself in
modernizing this cob-castle of ours, for it is a sweet situa-
tion, and I know you will get it into nice order in the spring.
The wood may be cut for paling, and there is a fine piece
of ground for a kitchen-garden. ‘To be sure it is very poor
land. I doubt I must have no asparagus from it; but per-
haps you will manage artichokes.”

« We can procure manure for the land, child: perbaps it
may be necessary to get a layer of new soil.”

The hearts of both mother and daughter palpitated with
joy as these words broke on their ears, but especially that
of the wife; for she had many days been trembling under the
most alarming fears that one human being can entertain for
another —fears which had annihilated all thought of her-
self and her situation, and half-banished her solicitude for
that only and much-loved child, whose situation had so long
claimed her unceasing anxiety. Scarcely could she forbear
to utter aloud the thankfulness which sprang to her lips and
agitated her bosom.

The chaise stopped at the house, which was called Elm
Cottage, just as Mitchell and Kathleen, each carrying a
parcel, and lighted by the lantern of the former, reached
the wicket gate. No new faces therefore met the eyes to
whom they might have been painful; and although, as the
light glanced over the dilapidated palisades, Mrs. Falconer
gave an involuntary sigh, which Maria caught, it only ren-
dered her the more eager to conduct them into the parlor,
where a bright fire, lighted candles, new paper and curtains,
with chairs and tables that were not new, gave that air of
united gayety and comfort which delights the eye and sol
. aces the spirits.

Kathleen preceded them, because his honor’s slippers
were in her bundle, and “be would be after wanting them.”
In truth, her glance at the outside of the dwelling had



92 DZCISION,

alarmed her, and she dreaded its effect on him, “ An this
be the place for the last of the Falconers!” had twice passed
her lips; but when she entered the parlor, her fear and sor-
row suddenly were dispelled, and, throwing up her hands,
she exclaimed, —

“QO, to be sure, and it’s only a single step down, your
honor, after all, and mighty asy, to my thinking, seeing what
we've gone through, laving the holy land, and forefathers,
and glory a’ one’s own country; for here’s nither poverty nor
smithy smoke here at all; may the tongue be blistered that
said there was, for here lies the cloth for supper, and a fine
cratur is the cat on the hearth, and by no ianes starved at
all, and the darlin herself — but goodness on me, she’s won-
derful thin and pale-looking.”

Maria had now taken her bonnet and cloak off, and the
exclamation of Kathleen drew the eyes of both her parents
to her. She was indeed thin; care, toil, and altered diet,
had withered the roses on her young cheeks, and diminished
the dazzling lustre of her complexion; and her dress, devoid
of every ornament, at a time when it was the fashion to use
a superabundance, gave altogether a painful alteration in
her appearance that was almost affecting, and in the present
moment almost alarming.

But even the solicitude they now equally expressed on
this subject was rendered subservient to her great design
of increasing their happiness, and of so employing her
father in his home concerns, as to prevent him from en-
gaging in any new business. “I only want change of air,
and ease of mind,” said she, “ aided by vegetable diet ; for I
am perfectly free from all disorder. I shall get the first by
frequently sleeping here; the second by seeing, I trust, that
you are both well and happy; the third my dear father
will provide by cultivating the garden, to which end I can
send him numerous assistants. You know Iam a complete
fidget in all matters requiring neatness; and when the
house is in repair, the palisades renewed, a wall built to the
west end, and a bay window in the adjoining room, I shall





DECISION. 93

be satisfied, and look quite well, you will see. However, I
am not so inconsistent as to desire all these things at once.
I know that they will take time and money, and we must
manage them by degrees. If you see after them personally,
they will be done for half the money, I am certain, my
dear sir.”

Thus was poor Falconer flattered aud consoled by the
belief that in due time he would save, by his excellent man-
agement, perhaps a pound for every thousand he had lost.
If he saw (as probably he did) the real motive of his un-
paralleled daughter, he saw also that it was his duty to yield
to her wishes. It is at least certain that he appeared to do
so; and they separated from each other for the night with no
reference to the past, though every heart was imbued with
its memory, but with hopes for the future, which were
warmly expressed. Each, in the hour of prayer, probably
poured out more freely the gratitude, the repentance, the
blended feelings, and the glowing affections, by which they
were deeply aud most happily moved.

Long before her parents left their pillow, Maria had en-
tered her regular lodging, and was engaged in ber occupa-
tion. She had now attained the great point to which she
had long looked — that of providing a home for her parents ;
but when she reflected that the money which she had so
economically saved to that end hitherto, would yet barely
have sufficed for even their humblest maintenance, she saw
clearly that, if possible, she must extend her business, and
to that purpose increase her capital considerably. It was
painful to her to think of asking Mr. Elderton for money,
because she had reason to believe him to be at this time un-
provided; but yet something must be done, and she held
Ellen’s property sacred. It was the resource of Frank,
who was at this time still looking out for a situation as a
clerk or a traveller.

The old gentleman had called one evening to see Mr.
Faleoner in his new situation, for which friendly intercourse
it was well situated. All he saw, of course, tended to con-



94 DECISION,

firm the high opinion and the warm approbation he felt for
Maria; but his observations made him aware how she was
situated, and the next evening he sent to request that she
would come and make his coffee, and leave Mitchell to close
the warehouse by himself for once. |

“J went to see the good people last night,” said he, as she
entered, “and found your mother really looking better and
happier than I ever saw her. Falconer is certainly altered
sadly ; but he bustled about, and told me of fifty things he
was going to do for Maria, with as much ease as if he had
forgotten all le owed her in the way of reparation for
nkinduess, to say nothing of other debts.”

“Thank God! May he never, never remember it.”

“Well, well, you are a good girl, and a consistent one,
which is an extraordinary thing to say of any woman. 1
know less than some men, ’tis true; yet I have seen many
women capable of great generosity, and some few who
added to it persevering goodness, patience without end, and
fortitude that was really amazing; but they always liked a
little exhibition of their virtues, or a little parade of their
feelings: indeed, crying and speechifying are very natural
to us all, when we are touched in strong points; and how
you, Maria, who are naturally fluent, resist it on such trying
occasion, I know not.”

“I conceive it a positive duty to guard my poor father
(indeed, both my parents) from all excitement, and I never
have forgot the maxim you implanted, that duty is umpera-
tive.”

“Ay, ay, you’re a flatterer—sit down—well, before |
came out, Frank came in. I like that young man exceed-
ingly ; he paid great attention to me when I was unwell at
Frankfort. I wish to help him.”

“I wish you would,” said Maria, with a frankness that a
little surprised her auditor ; but he replied, —

“Well, then, hear my plan: I must either give up my
German business, or that which I engaged in after the peace
with America, and I think that much the more promising.”



DECISION. 95

« Probably it may, but I like Germany best.”

«So do I; but 1 have also connections of value in the
other, and 1 am certain it would answer for me to fix a
clever young man at Liverpool as my agent — but by rights
he should be my partner.”

«Take him —take Frank Ingalton — he is upright, active
__ jt will make his mother so happy ”

« Yes, that is all true; but it is not convenient for me to
find all the money, just now.”

“Nor do you need. Frank, to my knowledge, can imme-
diately produce a thousand pounds, and I have little doubt
but he could borrow another.”

« But I have; for these are stirring times, and every body
hereabouts is employing money for himself. But, I pray,
how comes he by the first, Maria ?”

«A prudent, amiable, good girl has it, who—I mean to
say, he may marry: in short, Mr. Elderton, between our-
selves, there is an attachment — and of course he wishes to
marry.”

“1 understand, my dear, and promise you that the second
thousand shall be forthcoming, and I will make him my
partner. Then I apprehend your mother has saved one
thousand pounds from the wreck of her fortune, and I re-
joice in it: you are well aware how much may be made
of it.”

“My mother sacrificed her last property to pay it, and
Ellen, thank God, has received it.”

« Ellen, say you ?— Ellen Powis?”

“ Yes, certainly ; it is she to whom Frank is engaged; she
is a noble, kind-hearted, generous girl — so generous, that she
brought it all to me, saying, ‘it would be well used by me
for the benefit of my parents ;’ and indeed so I think it might
be, for I now see my way clearly, and could indeed use it
well; but if you will thus accept of Frank and this little mod-
icum, all will be well, all happy, and I can still manage.”

Maria spoke with amazing rapidity, and her color varied
every moment, though she affected to smile away the min-





96 DECISION.

gled emotions which were unquestionably lacerating her
heart. The old gentleman saw through the disguise she
assumed, and the idea of her distress brought the tears into
his eyes ; but he, too, looked another Way, and succeeded in
saving the delicacy of a noble mind so singularly circum-
stanced from another wound, and it was finally agreed that
on the morrow he should make the proposal to young In-
galton, and act in every respect as his friend and father.

* But, then, Maria, this ties my hands with regard to you,
whom I certainly desire to help much more than the young
people in question.”

“You cannot, then, lend me fifty pounds ?”

“Yes, I can do that, undoubtedly; I can double that, but
what is it ?”

“O, a great deal of money in my little way. You know
mine is either a ready-money trade, or, at the most, a fort-
night’s credit, for I deal only with the poor. I turn the little
Ihave so quickly that I have great gains even on small
profits. I have no one to pay but Mitchell, and cost so little
myself that I hope to be able to maintain my parents even
with that. I ought to have no fears for the future, when I]
consider what the past has produced.”

“TI have no fears for your success, Maria, but many for
your health. You have been too careful, too anxious. |
must insist on your taking some wine, and shall send you
that which I know to be old and good. If you do not take
care of yourself, you neglect the most important of all duties
to your parents. ‘Tell me, my dear girl, that you will take
care of yourself.”

“T will obey you,” said Maria, “for you are going to oblige
me — perhaps to save me”
_ The suppressed struggle of her bosom would no longer
be concealed; she burst into an agony of tears, and wept
long and freely ; but when the passion had spent itself, she
repeatedly assured her worthy old friend, “ that she knew
she should soon get the better of all her weaknesses, and

prove, under his guidance, an excellent tradeswoman, and
rise in time, perhaps, to rival”

«The Grecian Daughter,” cried the old man, as he shook
her hand; “ah! girl, she was a fool to you. But go away, or
you will make one of me. Depend upon it, [ will order
every thing in the manner you wish. [ will protect Frank,
reward Ellen, and leave you the glory of steering your own
little vessel through a rough sea into a safe haven. But, my
child, drink the Tent-wine I send you — promise me that.”

“Ido promise most religiously. I will endeavor to take
every thing that may sustain me in the path I must walk in.
The longer I travel, the less rugged shall I find it.”

CHAPTER XI.

Norurne could be more true than the assertion made by
Maria at the close of our last chapter; for the bustle in
which she was compelled to engage the early part of the
day, the recollections and accounts which occupied the
latter part of it, the contrivance how to seize a few hours of
evening holiday with her parents, and how to spare from
her daily-increasing business the ready money which would
supply the wants of the house, and the little improvements
in which she delightedly beheld her father engage, most
happily prevented her from dwelling much on that subject
from which alone she shrank in dismay.

The unbending resolution she had evinced to renounce
all company which interfered with her pursuit, to engage in
no possible expenditure that could be avoided, together with
the distance of her present residence from the house of Sir
James Trevannion, formed an excuse that was consistent
with her plan and her character, when entreated to be the
bridemaid of Ellen; to whom she also pointed out the cir-
cumstance, that it would be desirable to take that opportu-
nity of introducing Emily Ingalton to the notice of a family,
who might hereafter greatly benefit her mother in the plan
she had so wisely adopted.

“True,” said Ellen, “ but indeed you think for us all. Itold
my dear Frank I should not wonder if you were in fact the
mover of all Mr. Elderton’s kindness: you have done every
thing right except refusing my money —that was surely
wrong.”

“Yet from that error springs your present happiness: let



DECISION. . 99

the remembrance of that, Ellen, teach you the value of mon-
ey, of which you can as yet form little idea. You are older
than I thirteen months; but that period spent in this place
has made me much your senior in knowledge. Remember
you must not expect to live as you did either in my father’s
house or the baronet’s, and that you must supply to yourself
in the love of your husband and the consciousness of your
utility, those indulgences to which you are accustomed, and
the exercise of those accomplishments you may probably be
seldom called on to display.”

« But, dear Maria, Frank cannot expect me to be a good
housekeeper ! ”

“Yes he can, and depend upon it he will; for every man
who labors for the support of a family soon becomes inquis- °
itive as to the disposal of his gains, unless he is an idiot;
and every woman will soon render herself adequate to her
duties as a wife, unless she is one. I expect this of you, I
demand it of you, as the friend of — of my friend Frank.”

“ Dear Maria, you cannot doubt my entire love, my perfect
esteem, for the excellent young man to whom I am about to
be united; nor that, with the example of such a woman as
your excellent mother before my eyes, I should be ignorant
of my duties as a wife.”

«J doubt not your purity of intention, Ellen, but I am
anxious that you should attain the knowledge by which in-
tention secures its object — anxious that your disinterested
affection (for such it certainly is) should really secure all the
good to you both which it ought to effect: pardon me, dear
Ellen, if I speak hastily. 1 have been obliged to associate
with the vulgar, and to assume airs of command, but re-
member my words — they are offered in love.”

« Love — O, yes, Maria, the purest, warmest love; I know
your heart, and every kind feeling that actuates it; I do, in-
deed.”

Maria hoped not, but the appearance of Frank at this
moment made her color rush into her cheeks, and recede as
quickly. .

CHAPTER L

More than half a century has now elapsed, since a party,
assembled round the tea-table of Mrs. Falconer, were busy
in commenting on the conduct, and lamenting the ruin, of
one of their acquaintance, once a wealthy manufacturer in
the neighboring town of B ‘

The topic was discussed (as such things usually are) with
different views of the case, according to the original char-
acters or the relative situations of the speakers, nearly all
of whom had, in their own persons or their connections,
some sympathies with the party, except the lady of the
house, whose attention was at this moment given rathef to
the hospitable attentions due to her guests than the subject
of their discussion ; but her little daughter, a child of about
eleven years old, who was generally too much of a romp to
confine herself in the drawing-room, yet too intelligent to
suffer any thing interesting to escape her when there, was
observed to glance her bright eye from one speaker to
another, and shake back the profusion of long ringlets which
covered her neck, with an eagerness to catch every sound,
that indicated how much her mind was employed on the,
subject. = *

“Mr. Williams was imprudent; he trusted the house of

1 ¥


6 DECISION.

Burns and Son too far, lost a great deal, and could never
recover it,” ‘said one.

« How should he ?” said another, “since the expenses of
his family were not lessened, and they were just at that
period when young people are inevitably expensive.”

“ Yes, indeed —they kept much company, dressed well, ;
and were seen every where,” observed a third. “Had Mrs.
Williams been prudent, I think something might have been
done to save them from this total overthrow.”

“Poor woman!” exclaimed a Mrs. Brice, who was her-
self the mother of a large family, “what could she do, I
wonder 2? Whilstgwe live in the world, we must mix with the
world; and the petty savings she could have made by any
system of more rigid economy, at a time when her young
people were forming counections, and getting out in the
world, could not overbalance the remarks to which she
would have subjected them — indeed, such conduct would
have injured her husband’s credit, and brought on his ruin
sooner.” _

“So much the better,” said several gentlemen; but the
lady continued her assertions»

“Say what you please, but there are a thousand little
things one must do, and must have, which, strictly speaking,
are not necessary: every wife must seek to sustain her
husband’s credit; every mother must set off her children,
and see them maintain their due rank in society; to my own
knowledge, Mrs. Williams was a good manager, and never
spent a guinea, or ventured on any extra expenditure, but
where it was imperatively called for.”

The warmth and feeling with which this was uttered, by
a woman who was a model of propriety in her own conduct,
silenced, even where it did not convince, and murmuring
sounds of pity were succeeding those of blame, when a
cynical bachelor, who had not yet spoken, cried out, in

” tone yet more decisive than the lady’s,— | |
“ Fiddle faddle! — there is nothing imperative but duty.”
In another moment, the lately ebbing flow of words
DECISION. 7

returned, and amounted almost to clamorous opposition of
Mr. Elderton’s assertion : “ It is fine talking!” “What ean a
bachelor know about a family?” “Harsh judgments ill be-
conie the fortnnate,” were heard on all sides; and so many
condemnatory sentences, and more condemnatory ‘glances,
" were thrown on the gentleman, that he became an object of
pity to the child, who repeated his words over to herself, to.
examine whether they were in themselves offensive, or ren-
dered so by the sharp and somewhat contemptuous tone in
which they were uttered. The result of this examination
induced her to believe that the sentiment was right, for it
accorded with all her mamma had taught her — she drew
near to his chair, and after a short hesitation said, “Then
what ought Mr. and Mrs. Williams to have done ?”

Mr. Elderton was not aware from whom the soft female
voice proceeded, but he answered with that quickness and
promptitude which rendered his manners too frequently
unpleasant — “Since they had lost money, and become ‘poor,
they should have resolved at once to seem poor ; have reduced
their establishment, directed the views of their children to
situations more humble, but of course more easily attained;
by which means, they would have secured assistance from
their industry, instead of increased expense from their un-
warranted accomplishments. They should have stepped
down a little lower in life, until they were able to regain
their place honorably, instead of holding it in misery, by
ruinous expedients, until they were thrown far, far be-
low it.”

When Mr. Elderton ceased speaking, he became aware
who had been his questioner, and that the smile of derision
had banished the frown of anger from several countenances.
Sensible that he had spoken in too grave a tone, when re-
plying to so young and playful a querist, his countenance
changed; he drew her kindly towards him, and said, half
whisperingly, “ Well, Maria, how much of my long speech
do you remember ?”

“J remember it all, though I can’t repeat it.”
8 DECISION.

« And how much of it do you understand ?”

“A great deal, sir; and I hope —I intend” ——

“ To listen to my advice — hey ?”

“ Indeed I do —1 will say to myself every morning, * Duty
is imperative.’ ”

“Very good—but, Maria, pray what are the wperative
duties which you are, 1 take it, at this very moment pre-
scribing to that little curious heart of yours ?”

Maria’s countenance answered, in the first instance, by a
deep blush; but on casting ber eyes around, and perceiving
that every person was engaged with talking, or tea-drink-
ing, her tongue also found the power of reply, and she an-
swered, —

“] think itis my duty not to lament dear Sharon-Lacey, in
Ireland, and the pretty gardens, and the bounds, and the
people —and not to run about so wildly —nor play by ear
instead of notes, and to take more pains in reading French.”

« And how will you manage to fulfil this very good cata-
logue of your present duties ?”

“ How ? why, by setting a good resolution, by doing every
thing in the world that can inake my mamma happy. Is
that the meaning of all you said ?”

“ Precisely — you have given even a better comment than
Trim’s on the fifth commandment, upon my opinion — ha,
ha, ha! you are a good girl, a very good girl; I will teach you
German next year ; you shall read Goéthe and Gesuer some
time, that you shall, Maria.”

Mr. Elderton’s mother was a German: as a merchant, his
connectious lay principally in that country, to which he had
long made annual visits, and for which he was thought to
have an overweening partiality. Maria had learnt sufficient
of these circumstances to make her aware that, in’ his
opinion, the praise given was high, and the offer made
valuable, and she was at that happy age when all such offers
_are literally construed ; she thanked him eagerly and warm-
ly — placing, as she spoke, both her hands in his, by way of
sealing the contract as well as claiming the promise 5, for’

» ,
-
DECISION. 9

she conceived, though she could not define it, an idea that
she was to fulfil her own duties according to her own sense
of them, and to be rewarded by the friendship and the
mstruction of Mr. Elderton.

The party around, and indeed the whole circle of their
acquaintance, would have said poor Elderton, a confirmed
bachelor, with harsh features, repelling voice, stiff, curled
queue-wig, full suit of buckram-lined brown, and a whole
train of foreign peculiarities and unbending brusquerie
about him, was the last man on earth to attach a child —
especially a child of Maria’s description; a gay, spoiled,
Jaughter-loving little Hebe, with all the naiveté and untamed
drollery of a wild Irish girl, tempered alone by that ardent
sensibility of nature, and enthusiastic love of ber parents,
which might be supposed to render the cold lessons and
severe countenance of her grave friend peculiarly appalling.

Yet it is certain that from this time Maria did hold Mr.
Elderton’s memory in most affectionate respect: she was
insensibly flattered by thinking that he thought her worthy
a rational answer, and feeling the force of his assertions.
She was a child of strong mind and vivid conceptions, Till
within a few months, she might have been said to exist only
on her heart, which had expanded its young and glowing
affections on every living thing in its cirele, which were
loved and nourished by her with an intensity of regard that
made her soon acquainted not jess with sorrow than joy.
But at this period, her mind was claiming to be heard also:
the change of situation, the increase of company, and the
distinctness of character that company bore, — above all, the
diminished style of her father’s household, and the frequent
solicitude on her mother’s mild countenance, — alike led her
to think. It is, however, certain that no previous circumstance
or conversation had ever induced so many reflections in
Maria’s mind as those of the present evening ; and there
were times when she was on the point of saying to her
mother, “Why have we only two men instead of five?

and two horses instead of four? Is it the custom in Eng-
land for gentlemen to have counting-houses instead of
hunting parties, or are we beginning to be poor, like Mr.
Williams ?” — but unbounded tenderness and intuitive deli-
cacy forbade her to speak, and she happily turned her medi-
tations to those objects in her own education, which a pru-
dent and elegant mother was constantly pointing out to her
attention

CHAPTER II.

Mr. Fatconer was, or rather had been, a country gentle-
man in the north of Ireland, where his ancestors had long
flourished in the midst of an attached tenantry, thankful for
their residence, and proud of their merit. His. , it is
true, had early in life made a trip to Bath, which ioned
a mortgage on his estate; but he brought thence a wife
whose future fortunes repaired it, and he determined, in
consequence of this error, to bring up this his only son at
home, and so imbue his mind with the love of hb oo
so satisfy his desire of pleasure by the indulgences fi
procure him, that the mania of spending his estate 1
land, which was even then a very prevalent one, should
never affect the head of his beloved Carlos.

Year after year passed on, and the cares of parental soli-
citude appeared to attain their object. The youth became
unrivalled as a sportsman, seldom sighed even for a winter
in Dublin, and had the further merit of entefing -with the
utmost ardor into the various schemes for bettering’ ie
estates, which now employed the riper years of his father —

“ He ne’er had changed, or wished to change, his place.”
12 DECISION.

A terrible accident deprived Mr. Falconer of his excellent
father a few months after his minority had passed, and
might be said to give his mother a death-blow at the same
time ; since she never afterwards recovered her spirits, or
enjoyed her health. To assist her efforts, they now made a
trip to England, crossing to Chester, and thence proceeding
to Blackpool, where they remained some time. Here the
sorrows of the truly mourning son were consoled by the
passion which a beautiful orphan inspired, who was then
lamenting the death of her mother, and had been, brought
by her guardian to this place for that. change of scene, and
relief of mind, which they also sought,

Carlos was handsome, frank, ingenuous, attentive, and at
this period interesting in no common degree; he was also
of ancient family, unsullied character, large, independent
property ; of course the young creature to whom he paid

» his devoirs, and who was scarcely more than a child, and
her pruderi guardian, were alike pleased with him,.and his

e oe r was not less pleased with them. ‘The, only deficiency

| od, in this case, was, the want of some difficulty, to
conquer, some trouble to go through, by which the busy,,
bustling, active Carlos could be employed, A journey with
the guardian over great part of North Wales, followed by
another to Sharon-Lacey, supplied this deficiency, after
which, the truly impatient bridegroom had the felicity of
conducting his’ bride thither also, who, even then, had not
attained her sixteenth year.

Mrs. Falconer was exquisitely beautiful, but, so delicate
that she resembled an exotic plant unfit to bear change to a
less genial atmosphere ; and it soon. became evident, to her
idolizing hushand and. his tender mother, that the wide, hos,
pitalities. so long established at Sharon-Lacey could not, be
sustained by her. In. consequence, to a certain degree they
were diminished ; but as Mr, Falconer was not.a reading
man, in proportion as he was withdrawn from company, he
engaged the more in field sports, which pursuit gave. way.
by degrees to a passion for improvement, which he pushed
DECISION. 13

without the knowledge attained by experience, or even con-
nected with the theories offered by others, to an extent
which soon became alarming, dnd combined with previous
circumstances to bring his mother to the grave, at the period
when her jointure became necessary for his relief.

By this time he had become immersed in schemes which
took such entire possession of his mind, that he might be
said to grow rich in imagination, in proportion as he was
poor in purse; and his young wife listened with artless, un-
questioning simplicity to his golden dreams for a consider-
able time, happy in his happiness, and more than contented
with the personal comforts and unsparing indulgences
with which his love and his thoughtlessness alike supplied
her. The sorrows and death of his mother, and his eager
appropriation of that mother’s property, notwithstanding his
sincere regret, opened her eyes, and she endeavored to win
him from pursuing phantoms which might end in ruin ; and,
as it was necessary for them both to visit England on ac-
count of her coming of age, she appeared to have cree
prospect of sticeeeding in her wishes.

A large sum of money in the funds, and an extensive,
ancient, but not very productive estate, were now put into
the hands of this young couple, and unhappily the wedding
settlement of the lady was also intrusted to her own keep-
ing. Mr. Falconer entered on his new possessions with
apparent wisdom, for he stopped suddenly all-his former
projects, whether good or bad, made a considerable reform
in his establishment, observing (perhaps justly) “that a rich
man may do what a poor one dare not,” and then bade his
wife farewell, and returned again to her property in Wales.

He had taken it into his head that a mountain on this
estate, whose only merit had hitherto been that of a sheep-
walk, would prove to him a mine rich as Peruvia’s, in the
product of iron ore; and so much was he bent on this
pursuit, that he resolved to sacrifice every other scheme for
its attainment.

To this end, he now resigned the company of a lovely

2
14 DECISION.

and beloved wife, who was to him, and found in him, all
the relations of life, and the endearing prattle of a sweet
infant, — in whose very appearance he would have found a
useful monitor, reminding him of her claims as the heir of
two ancient inheritances, and as a female unallied and
unprotected save by himself.

But, alas! every schemer is a gambler, not originally
moved by the same avarice, but certainly acted upon by the
same impetus. Falconer in domestic life was a warm
friend, a generous master, a noble landlord, an affectionate
husband; but when he escaped that sacred circle, his pre-
vailing passion exerted over him the influence ascribed to
demoniac possession, and carried him “ whithersoever it
would.” There was no fatigue too great for him to en-
counter, no scheme too wild for him to adopt, if it for-
warded his end — and, by the same rule, no expense too ex-
orbitant for him to adventure. So much “had appetite
increased e’en by the meat it fed on,” that in changing the
subject, he only confirmed the propensity, which by this
time had nearly swallowed up every other predilection, and
become not less his amusement than his business.

Iron ore was indeed found, but it produced no golden
harvest, and required a larger capital than our unfortunate
projector could now command ; and as the working of his
mine naturally led him to an acquaintance with those who
were likely to purchase iron, he became necessarily much
connected with that town in which the most was consumed,
and, after the lapse of a few years, formed a partnership with
two persons whom he justly conceived better acquainted
with the commercial part of his undertaking than himself.
These years had been spent by Mrs. Falconer in great
anxiety and comparative solitude, for she had been with-
out the company of him whom she held as dear to her
heart, as attractive to her sight, as he had ever been. It will
be naturally concluded that, in such a situation, her child had
enjoyed a paramount place in the consideration of the
young moiher ; and chat, although in some respects nlama-
DECISION. 15

bly indulged, yet, as being the constant companion and
pupil of her mother, the partaker of her cares'and charities,
her gentle control over numerous dependants, her hos-
pitable receptions of noble and enlightened visitants, she
had imbibed an exercise of heart and understanding, an
attachment to her mother, which went beyond the common
ties of nature, as they are felt by affectionate children in
general.

The hurrying visits of Mr. Falconer to his own house, the
deep solicitude too generally impressed at this period upon
nis countenance, and the consternation in which all around
appeared left after his departure, would undoubtedly have
tended to render his presence productive of pain rather
than pleasure to Maria, if she had not witnessed the more
than happiness with which her mamma beheld him, and the
overwhelming sorrow which followed his departures, and
which she attributed simply to the fact of his going to
England, which she therefore considered a very naughty
place, and reprobated with all the warmth of her country
and the simplicity of her age.

At length the time arrived when: it became necessary for
them all to remove thither. Sharon-Lacey, long mortgaged
to. its utmost value, became the property of one who had
freely supplied the speculating improver to this very end,
and consoled himself at those moments when his conscience
reproved him for the removal of an old and highly-estimated
family, by observing “ that as there was no son, the name of
Falconer would in the course of a few years inévitably
perish, and antedating that event was of no great momeuit.”

When the time came, the heart of Falconer was indeed
wounded, but he felt called upon as a husband to support».
his wife, who, although willing to return to her native cotip=
try under circumstances of diminished importance, me
desirous of embracing any situation which secured his. -
society, could not witness the bitter sorrow of her Irish
peasantry, and hear the lamentations of her servants, with-
16 DECISION.

out acute suffering. Rich and poor, old and young, poured
in upon them with that genuine fulness of sympathy, that
mixed language of grief, reproach, and entreaty, which
spoke an interest in their future welfare, a remembrance of
past favors, and indignation towards their supposed enemies,
indicating all the intense feelings that agitate the genuine
Irishman, and which the present circle felt they had the
more right to express, because Mr. Falconer had been
destined from his birth to live and die amongst them by his
still-lamented father.

Yet a sense of what was due to “ his honor,” in what they
deemed “his day of sorrow,” and still more their deep
respect for his gentle lady, somewhat restrained their jntru-
sion; but whilst the aged people hung round their horses’
necks, and the young ones sought, by rendering themselves
useful, to show the last fond services of hearts which could
only endure their feelings by expressing them through some
medium, many gathered round the child, on whom they
gazed with an admiration that was almost idolatry, and de
plored, as if she were a victim appointed to sacrifice.

“Ah! it’s little your honored grandfather looked to such
a day as this, my swate crature! — but it’s like ye’ll come
back to your place, lady, in due time, and then you'll remem-
ber the childer if my head be laid —becase they’re all your
own to the thing in my arms —look up, Sheely dare, and
make your obadience to miss.”

“Hold your tongue, wife; what for would ye break the
heart o’ the angel? Is’nt the eyes of her running over all
day wi’ laving the birds, and the hounds, and the childer,
and the foals, that she fed wi her own beautiful hands ?
O, blessing on the hour she’ll reign over us.”

If those who help us in the day of distress are dear to ys,
still more dear are those we have assisted; and as poor
little Maria heard the blessings called on her head, from lips
that had hailed her approach on the bed of sickness, or in
the hour of want, she felt as if they were so dear to her so
DECISION. 1?

entwined with her earliest recollections, and her happiest
moments, that her very heart was breaking under the pain
of separation.

Indeed, she was so terribly affected at the last, that Mr
Falconer was obliged to carry her in his arms to the car-
riage; and nothing less powerful than the sight of her
mother’s tears could have induced her to make the efforts
to overcome her sorrow, necessary for her own health and
the comfort of her alarmed parents. Novelty of scene at
length roused that curiosity so natural to her age, and suc-
ceeded in effecting the cure of her grief; yet it was by slow
degrees, and with many relapses, that she returned to that
composure of spirits which enabled her to enjoy the new,
and, of course, attractive scenes which were offered in their
journey from Scotland (where they landed) to the distant
town of B ;

Mr. Falconer had, with due attention to the health, habits,
and taste, of his lady, procured her a house about two miles
out of town, which had been very handsomely furnished by
the cares of Mrs. Ingalton, his partner’s wife ; was surround-
ed by the necessary appendages of a gentleman’s house on a
small scale; and certainly possessed in its narrow bounds
many comforts, and even elegances, which would have been
looked for in vain either in the old rambling manor-house
Where she was born in Wales, or the turreted, but of late
neglected, walls of Sharon-Lacey. The wife was still young
enough to conform her taste to circumstances; and in pos-
sessing the husband from whom she had been so much divi-
ded, and assuring herself of his undiminished affection, she
felt thankful for the change in her situation, and ventured to
look forward with hope to brighter prospects, as offered by
her still sanguine husband. Maria was now not Jess willing
to be pleased, but the novelties around were by no means
agreeable. She said, “the pretty rooms were only like large
closets, the garden itself was only a great carpet —there was
no orchard, ~ dairy, no long room for dances. above all, no


18 DECISION.

aviary nor greenhouse, and when you looked out of the will-
dows, there was only one green meadow on the other side of
a broad, dusty road — no river — no mountains, nor even a
common with huts upon it; there were neither children nor
pigs as far as she could see, nor any thing to be kind to
whatever.”

All these wants were forgotten the following Christmas,
when her father brought home a little Welsh girl, the daugh-
ter of a respectable man whom he had employed there, and
who had bequeathed her and the few hundreds he had saved
to the care of a master whom he justly deemed honorable and
liberal. She was about a year older than Maria, pretty, art-
less, gentle, and affectionate, but little informed, and wholly
devoid of accomplishment. It was the great joy of Maria’s
heart to give and to love, and she seized on Ellen Powis in a
twofold sense, for the purpose of expending upon her all the
good in her power. The aid bestowed on the lovely little
orphan was returned sevenfold in her own improvement —
the little madcap Irish and the untaught Welsh girl became
every day more attached to each other, and so forward in
their education as to attract the admiration of all who knew
them.

This was at present, perbaps, rather a sensible than a
polished circle — few old families resided in the immediate
neighborhood of a manufacturing town; but the only two
who came under this description, and who had always held
themselves aloof from all connection with the inhabitants of
B——, (whatever their wealth or local influence,) visited
Mrs. Falconer immediately on her arrival, and treated her
not less with marked respect as one of themselves, than with
that affectionate interest her person, maaners, and situation,
were calculated to excite. These were General and Mrs.
Birchett, an elderly couple, whose children were dispersed
by marriage and profession abroad in the world, and Sir
James and Lady Trevannion, a young couple, married within
a year or two, of amiable manners and good disposition, al-
DECISION. 19

thougl. continuing to hold a strong line of demarkation with
their plebeian neighborhood, which returned with interest
every indication of pride or contempt.

The first name in the house with which Mr. Falconer had
joined himself was Mayton, a gay bachelor ; the third, as we
already have observed, was Ingalton, a man of mild, unassu-
ming deportment, married to an amiable, lady-like woman,
who had made him the happy father of a promising family.
The first partner travelled much, as they had an extensive
iron foundry in Sweden; the last in the firm managed their
affairs at home, for which he was well calculated in every
respect, save the delicacy of his general health. Mr. Falco-
ner held a middle station, as having too little knowledge for
a leader, yet being too important to be placed last; and re-
duced as his fortune really was, he yet brought with him a
reénforcement of money, which was of great consequence to
the house, and was magnified so much by report, that he
now entered on his new station under circumstances not less
flattering to his self-love than to those hopes it was his error
and misfortune to indulge.
20 DECISION.

CHAPTER Il

Ir will be evident that our little heroine, for some time at
least, would exchange one set of flatterers for another, and
would move the queen of a new empire, perhaps more seduc-
tive than the last, since she was frequently made the medium
of paying court to her mother by those ladies of B
who were desirous of classing themselves in the highest cir-
cle of society their country boasted. Mothers wished to see
their daughters possess the same graceful agility, the same
unaffected dignity, and artless witchery, which made her
beauty but a second charm in Maria, and which even a Lon-
don education at a great expense did not impart to their dar-
lings ; but these advances rarely led to any thing that could
be termed intimacy with mother or daughter. Mrs. Falconer
really loved Mrs. Ingalton, and she was amused by the so-
ciety of Lady Trevannion; and with them, and the busy, live-
ly companions who were always with her, she was content.
The circumstances of her married life, added to her early loss
of friends, had impressed a pensive character, a meek, but
constant solicitude, on her spirits, which made the glare and
bustle of life rather painful than pleasurable to her; she loved
society, but she disliked parade, and the beauty and elegance
which rendered her an object of’ unbounded admiration
never affected her in any way incompatible with this love of
retirement, and her continued devotion to a husband whose
fine person, and frank and graceful manners, she now saw to
more advantage than ever, in a circle where they were un-
rivalled. |

From the period in which we introduced Maria, until she


DECISION. 21

completed her fifteenth year, nothing occurred worthy of no-
tice, except the fact that she really claimed the promise of
Elderton, and notwithstanding a decided predilection for
music and a passion for reading, which often encroached
upon the hours devoted to rest, she yet engaged in learning
the German language with such avidity and perseverance as
to render her a delightful pupil. At a time when her mind
was fully occupied with this pursuit, and she was enabled to
enter with a high relish into the beauties of the German
poets, Mrs. Falconer mentioned an intention of sending Ellen
Powis for a couple of years to a superior school.

“ School, dear mother! you forget that she is older than
[, because she happens to be less.”

“ No, my love, I do not; she is precisely at the age when a
sensible, reflecting girl will really derive benefit from the
lessons she will receive. Ellen has a very small fortune, and
itis desirable that she should improve it, which she might
do in the most respectable manner if her education were
more complete.”

“She will want no fortune; she will live with us, you know.
I always thought she came here to Be my friend and sister as
long as we lived.”

“ But when your mother assures you, Maria, that it will be
better and happier for Ellen to render herself independent,
and adds the information, that Lady Trevannion will take her
as governess to her little girls, and treat her (you are certain)
most kindly, you will see, Maria, that”

“T see only that —that you wish it, mamma,” said Maria,
rushing out of the room to hide her tears, every trace of
which were, however, banished when she next saw Ellen, lest
that which she considered bad news should add to her afflic-
tion. For this, however, Ellen had been prepared ; for whis-
pers had met her ear, never offered to that of the daughter,
and she was aware that the plan was every way eligible, and
embraced it as a part of those unbounded kindnesses which
had been showered upon her ever since she entered the
family. She departed, and Maria felt as if half her world
was taken from her.


Q2 DECISION.

It will be evident that Ellen had in a great measure sup
plied to Maria that portion of her mother’s society which
was tiow necessarily given to her father, and on her aly
sence, the mother and daughter insensibly resumed their
former situation with each other. Mr. Falconer was much
engaged, for Mr. Mayton now resided wholly abroad, and
his management there had been of late extremely unpro-
ductive. Mr. Ingalton’s health had become so bad as’ to
render him unequal to all exertion; and as his eldest son was
gone to the East Indies, he had, to the great grief of his
wife, recalled Frank, his second son, (who had bee intended
for the church) from the university, to assist him in the count-
ing-house.

Mr. Falconer was really sorry for this youth, and opposed
the change in his destination as long as he was able; he
was just nineteen, and devoted to literary pursuit with all
the ardor generally experienced at that period of life, com-
bined with high intellect, fine imagination, a soul attunéd by
piety to every pure and lofty association, and that happy
mixture of playful fancy and pensive reflection, which ren-
dered him well calculated for giving charms to a gay hour,
and interest to a sad one. ' ;

Toa young man with such habits and desires as Frank
had been permitted from his cradle to indulge, this unex-
pected mandate appeared a sentence cruel as death ; and so
much was he overwhelmed by it, that the weak constitution
and parental affection of his father rendered him in¢apable
of insisting on the sacrifice, and Frank would have ¢arried
his point but for the irresistible pleadings of his niother.
“ Your brother,” said she, “has left his country, probably for
life; your father may linger long, but he will never be re-
stored; and what will become of your mother and three
sisters, if you persist in pursuing a profession, where, even
if you are successful, it is utterly unlikely that you ‘can
assist us.” |

When Mr. Falconer retailed this conversation at homie,
and added that poor Frank had yielded to his mother’s en-
DECISION. 23

ireatien, Mrs. Falconer praised him highly, and said, “ she
was impatient to know him;” Maria observed only “he had
done his duty,” but she soon afterwards said, “yet surely
there can be no occasion to distress him thus; for when
his father dies, he must be rich enough to provide for his
widow and daughters.”

No answer was returned, but her mother sighed deeply,
and her father appeared restless and alarmed; she recol-
lected lately seeing the former in tears one morning on en-
tering her dressing-room, and that, in reply to her inquiries,
she had uttered some very extraordinary words, indicating a
sense of unworthy conduct on her own mind. Maria
thought something must be wrong, but hoped she should
soon see it relieved; she was at least certain that “ weak
nerves,” a disorder then as much in every one’s mouth as
“ bilious complaints ” are now, must be the sole cause of her
mother’s self-accusation.

From this time, however, Mrs. Falconer’s spirits and
health were much affected, and were so much worse, ap-
parently, when Maria more particularly attended to her, that
she was earnestly requested to for every mark of pecu-
liar tenderness, and’@ndeavor by every possible means to
divert her from all subjects of thought. As, however, nothing
could induce the patient either to seek the common relief
offered by a watering-place, or to plunge into promiscuous
society, Mr. Falconer invited young Ingalton to spend every
moment he could spare from his new and to him disgust-
ing duties with them; as he found that quiet society af-
forded more regular relief)to his wife’s spirits than any
more violent stimulus, and next to Mrs. Ingalton she prized
the society of her son Francis.

In fact, the very dejection of this young man was benefi-
cial. to those who conversed with him, since it induced them
to soothe and enliven a mind which well merited their kind-
ness, and would richly repay their endeavors to unfold its
stores. In a short time Maria forgot her loss in Ellen’s
society, saw with gratitude the relief her mother experi-
24 DECISION.

enced, and that tne more deep though less constant oppres
sion which had of late been visible in her father’s manners
again gave way to that sanguine temperament which was
natural to him. It was difficult to say whether this disposi-
tion in Mr. Faleoner was more to be lamented or rejoiced
over ; unquestionably it had induced him to engage in peril-
ous enterprises, and pursue unwise objects; but it also pre-
served him, generally speaking, in such a flow of spirits, that
his exertions continued unparalyzed amidst losses and vexa-
tions of the most enervating nature, and his temper remained
pleasant and cheerful to his own household. Unlike many
domestic despots who imbitter the prosperity they be-
stow by the tyranny of their tempers, poor Falconer went
step by step to ruin, with the bustling gayety of one who
was accumulating possessions, and the affectionate indul-
gence of a heart that thought it could never bestow too much
on the objects of its affection.

Consistent with this disposition, he was in the habit of
eoncealing all painful circumstances as much as _ possible
from his wife, and whegp, from time to time, she discovered
them, he still insisted that she would.keep them from her
daughter; but as all parties were by nature little calculated
for disguise, many things inevitably crept out, which, with-
out exciting any great alarm, yet drew the mind of Maria
from subjects of elegant occupation to reflection of a pain-
ful nature, but which tended greatly to strengthen her mind,
expand her views of existence, and, above all, to lead her
to religious exercise of thought, and that faith which is the
only certain support of the soul. Endued with acute feel-
ing, a vivid imagination, ardent affections, a fine taste for all
that is beautiful in nature and excellent in art, a contempt
for all meanness, an utter abhorrence of vice, — and freed, by,
the peculiar circumstances in which her life had been spent,
alike from the vulgar pride of wealth and the less repulsive |
but equally strong prejudices which she imbibed from her
birth, as the sole representative of two ancient families, —
there was in her character something romantic, independ-
DECISION. 25.

ent, and almost eccentric, so far as it was developed in con-.
versation ; but in her complete devotedness to her mother,
ber more than sisterly attachment to Ellen, her enthusiastic
love of music, which amounted, perhaps, to a passion, those
who associated with her saw only a most amiable and ac-
complished as well as beautiful girl.

Mr. Elderton had been a long time abroad, in consequence
of having much extended his business on the continent,
about the period of which we speak. On his return, finding
that poor Ingalton was on the point of death, and that many
unpleasant reports were stirring respecting the house, which
his own knowledge of Mayton’s conduct was calculated to
confirm, he bent his steps towards Mr. Falconer’s house the
first evening he could spare. On his way he was overtaken
by Maria, on horseback, who greeted him with all the joyful
warmth so prominent in her character. On looking up, he
saw, With surprise, how much time had improved her during
his absence, for she had grown considerably, and her slight
but graceful and finished form was seen to advantage in her
close habit; nor did her plumed hat less become her ani-
mated and beautiful face. Mr@Elderton’s gaze brought
blushes into her ¢heeks—or was it not the inquiry as to
who was the young gentleman, her companion ?

“Tt is Frank Ingalton,” said Maria, in a low voice — “ poor
fellow, he was obliged, much against his inclination, to leave
Oxford, and take his father’s place in the counting-house:
it was very hard upon him, but he is really good, and has
consented to give himself up to trade —”

“ Which he pursues by riding about with you,” said the
old gentleman, in his usual dry, satirical vein.

“He pursues it,” returned Maria, haughtily, “as every
man ought to do. I was taking my usual airing, met him,
and induced him to take my groom’s horse.”

The account would have been perfectly satisfactory to
her old friend, but for the torrent of blushes, and the angry,
yet somewhat timid, tone in which it was uttered. Mr.
Elderton pursued his way, spent the evening with the

‘family, and walked home with the young man, who, he
‘confessed to himself; was indeed (for that neighborhood)
‘quite a paragon, but, he yet internally maintained, “ought
-never to think of Maria.”

Again and again he met them, and closely observed the
‘conduct of Frank, whose evenings were usually enlivened
‘by running over, if but for a single hour, to Mr. Falconer’s :
‘when by chance he did not come, it was evident that
Maria’s mind was estranged, her instrument was out of tune,
‘her voice affected by the air: the books she had lately read
‘were all of his recommending; the letter she had been
‘writing to Ellen was: filled with anecdotes which he had
irélated, or traits of virtue and sensibility which he had ex-
‘hibited. It appeared evident to the awakened mind of her
‘old friend, that Maria had decidedly imbibed that passion

young ‘Ingalton, or from the pressure of more affecting,

:moment.

‘The pate, ‘interesting countenance of Frank, and his
| pensive modesty of manners still continuing, were an assur-
‘ance at length to Mr. Elderton “that he had never told his
‘love ;” for there would have been moments when even the
most anxious son, the most prudent tradesman, must have
betrayed that triumphant sense of happiness, the possession
of such a heart as Maria’s would inevitably bestow, espe-
cially on one whose sensibility was evidently acute. “ Per-
haps,” he would say, “after all, there is nothing in this inter-
course beyond that of an attached sisterly regard, on Maria’s
part, felt for one -who acts as a brother to her, and a son to
her parents; and the young man’s mind may have been so
wedded to his books, that even the charms and accomplish-
ments of Maria’ failed to affect him when he was a stranger,

and she is now become familiar to him as a friend; if
so, they will be saved from a foolish match, and I have
nothing to tremble for in the future fate of my pretty
favorite.”

Yet he soon did tremble; for Ellen returned, and she, too,
was improved in person and manners, though in his eyes
every way inferior to Maria, who hailed her appearance with
all the fondness of infancy, and that soft, languid tenderness
of joy, which was indicative of a heart oppressed by the
fulness of its own unanalyzed feelings, and which gave to
friendship, which it was proud to express, the character of
that passion it was as yet unauthorized to reveal. ‘This was
followed by evident anxiety, — by coldness, and alternate
kindness, towards him who caused the struggle, — and oc-
casionally by a kind of stern self-command, which triumphed
over all inquietude, and suggested to her observing friend
the hope that she had discovered the state of her own heart,
and would conquer a passion felt for one who did not return
it, without suffering its effects to appear— without gaining
from pity that which love had not accorded—a state whicli
he well knew the pride and delicacy of her nature would
render insupportable.

In all this, Frank’s conduct was not only blameless, but
entitled to the highest praise: his constant attention to busi-
ness, his affectionate attentions to his slowly-declining
parent, the variety of bis knowledge, and his unassuming
display of those talents which render domestic society cap-
tivating as well as endearing, were such as to quicken the
benevolent attentions of Mr. Elderton to his feelings and
manners, from a sincere desire to add to the future happi-
ness of Maria. He was so situated in life, that he could,
Without injury to others, have offered, in a share of his own

final downfall of the house (in which the fortunes of the
young people were alike centred) should render his friend-

as she merited to be loved, it was by no means his wish to

tempt him to marry her by the offer of fortune. He be-
lieved that there existed not a man on earth who deserved
her, and Jeast of all'was he inclined to accord that praise to
one who, however meritorious in other respects, could daily
witness the graceful energy, the glowing affection, the varied
talent she displayed, within the narrow circle which eircum-
stances now seldom extended beyond her own family, with-
out according her equal love and admiratir n.

Such were the thoughts passing in Mr. Eldertnn’s mind,
when Ellen, evidently with great pain, obeyed the uwmmons
of Lady Trevannion, who had, with extraordinary kindness,
waited for her so long, that to have trespassed further on
her forbearance, would have caused a breach of friendship
between the families. As her present home was at the dis-
tance of four or five miles, though Maria had it in ber power
to ride over every day, yet it was evidently Ellen’s duty to
remain much at home, and Mr. Elderton rejoiced, for her
own sake, in the circumstance. His eye was upon all the
circle, and his heart ached for all, under the impression tat
evil was impending upon them, both from threatened mis-
fortunes without and unsuspected enemies within.

CHAPTER IV.

Dunne the period of which we have been speaking, every
thing in the affairs of Mr. Falconer had been gradually
growing worse, and the conduct of that partner who was
resident abroad gave too much reason to believe that he
was either, as an extravagant man, drawing from the mother
country the sources of improper expenditure, or amassing
wealth by which to secure himself in possession of certain
property, when the affairs of the house should come to a
termination by the approaching dissolution of partnership,
which would take place at the time when Miss Falconer
came of age —a circumstance which, it had been under-
siood, had some connection with her father’s property now
in business.

This eventful period was looked to with much anxiety by
all the parties concerned, as they had found it impossible to
bring Mayton to his duty, — but by no person so much as Mrs.
Falconer, whose solicitude on her daughter’s account had
naturally been quickened {rom observing her artless predilec-
tion for a young man, for whom she felt herself the most
decided preference. The dreams of ambition she might have -
had for such a daughter were nearly obliterated by anxiety, .
and self-reproach, which, though not venting itself in tears.
or lamentations, had long sat heavy on her heart: the sad
secret which preyed there, and was slowly, but certainly, .
wearing away health and life, was suddenly developed.

One day Mr. Elderton entered at an hour very unusual |
with him, and wearing a very disturbed countenance ; the -
mother and dasghter were both at the moment engaged in:

3*
40 DECISION.

making up some cheap clothing for one of their poor neigh-
bors, but so much were they alike struck by the hurry and
perplexity of his countenance, that with one voice they
inquired, “ what was the matter?”

“The house of Krentzers have failed, in Dantzic, by
Which I shall lose a large sum of money, and Iam obliged
to set out without an hour’s delay. So Iran forward to bid
you good by.”

“ Krentzers!” exclaimed Mrs. Falconer, “surely Frank
spoke of them as being people with whom Mr. Mayton
ought to lodge money.”

“Very likely. We all think of ourselves first; but J
certainly ought to have told you what 1 learnt as [ came
hither — that poor Ingalton died about an hour ago in Frank’s
arins, Whilst Falconer was (according to his daily custom)
reading him the letters, — perhaps—TI really fear — it
looks as if this bad news had something to do with it.”

“Poor Frank!” exclaimed Maria, bursting into tears.
Mrs. Falconer neither spoke nor wept, but she looked on
the point of fainting, and yet exerted herself’ to ring the bell
-and order the carriage to be got ready immediately.

“You are going to poor Mrs, Ingalton, mamma ; 1 will go
with you,” said Maria.

“No, my love, you must not; I must see your father ; I must
inquire into all these distressing circumstances.”

Maria was on the point of saying “ Mr. Elderton will go
with you,” for she did not like her mother to depart, evi-
‘dently ill, alone, when undergoing much internal agitation ;
but she saw that she preferred being alone at this moment,
-and was well aware that, although a very friendly man in
the main, he was by no means a gentle binder of bleeding
wounds ; Mrs, Falconer, therefore, departed, without taking
-Mr. E., although his hat was in his hand to set out for
-B—— also.

“Surely,” said Maria, reverting to this bad news, « you
“will not lose much, my dear sir.”
“I shall not be ruined by it, Maria, certainly ; but I shall
DECISION. 31

Jose at one stroke the profits of many years’ labor, which is
provoking enough ; n’importe! I am a bachelor, and my hab-
its are not expensive.”

“That is a great comfort at a time like this,” said Maria,
following the glance of his eye around the elegantly-fur-
nished room in which she sat; “I confess I should be more
distressed for Mrs. Ingalton than you, were she, in addition
to her widowhood, to lose her property too: what would
become of her and the girls?”

“Think for yourself—your mother, Maria: she has a
brother, a son, and the circumstances of her widowhood
will raise her friends; but you — I tremble for you, I confess
I do.”

“ You are very good, but I think there is no comparison in
the case ; if my father were even ruined in his business, ~
which God forbid should be the case,— my mother’s prop-
erty undoubtedly ”

“ Has your mother property ? are you sure of that ?”

“T am sure of nothing; but I understood our estates in
Wales were hers, and I always concluded ” ——

“Pshaw!— you concluded — you ought to have known —
you had an undoubted right to know — you who have a better
head for business than one man in a thousand — who were
born heiress to two old estates in two different countries —
I have no patience with any of ye —and so at this time of
day, when you must be a long way past eighteen, you don’t
know whether your mother really has property left, or
whether your father has made ducks and drakes of it, in the
same manner as he did with his own.”

Maria drew up her head haughtily, as if to say, “ Beware
how you speak of my parents!”

“Nay, nay, Maria, look not thus on me. I honor your
feelings, but there are points in life where all feelings,
whether of delicacy, tenderness, or even what you errone-
ously deem duty, should be compelled to give way before
the more imperious dictates of that positive duty, common
honesty, and common sense. It is said, in the town, that

your mother, unhappily holding her own settlement, has
been induced, from time to time, to give up property over
which it gave her power; in fact, 1 know that about two
years since she did so to a great amount, and I fear she has
little, very little left.”

“It is so!— it must be so!” said Maria, in a voice scarcely
articulate with the agitation awakened by recollections that
rushed to her mind; “JI remember well, when she had that
long low fever on the spirits before you came home — yes,
yes, she used to weep bitterly whenever she saw me, and
has even yet never recovered — Frank and I used ” -——

“Frank and you! Dear Maria, allow me to ask you one
more question.”

“No, no, I can answer no more,” said Maria, blushing,
trembling, and gasping for breath.

“ But there is no engagement ?” _

“QO, no, no — certainly no engagement.”

Maria covered her face with her hands as she spoke, but
the throbbings of her heart, the universal pulsation of her
frame, bespoke the severity of her sensations, which were
indescribably painful; and had she possessed the power of
flight, she would certainly have fled. Mr. Elderton instantly
quitted the subject, but he reverted to that which preceded
it, and urged her to constrain herself to probe the wound
which he could not doubt was rankling at her mother’s
heart, so far as to discover the actual state of her future
dependence, for the express purpose of securing the little
which might remain; “as, otherwise,” said he, “depend
upon it, you will see her reduced to the most abject poverty,
from which your father will not be able to rescue her; for
never have I yet seen a man of his Sanguine temper who
was not completely overthrown in the day of actual want.”

“TI will work for them — beg for them”

“ Work you may, my love, but beg you cannot, no, not even
for them. I would not have talked to you thus, even yester-
day ; but, situated as 1 now am, I can only give good advice:
promise me you will act with resolution, that you will

DECISION. 33

endure to give pain to those you love, in itself the most
terrible of all pains; it is an imperative duty, and”

Maria rose slowly from her seat—she waved her hand,
and he ceased to speak; but in another minute she said, ina
solemn tone,

“ } will perform it —I would be thankful to escape it, out
for her sake I can do any thing.”

Mr. Elderton took his leave, trying to whisper such words
as, “ Report may have made the worst of it; I trust you will
save something yet;” but Maria heard them not, and the
door had closed on him before she recovered from the
stunning blows she had received —the torrent of terrible
thoughts which had overwheimed her at a period when she
had been wrapped in that oblivion to all outward cireum-
stances, unconnected with its own object, which a timid yet
all-engrossing passion spreads over a tender and youthful
bosom.

Yet, when the stupor occasioned by this blow somewhat
subsided, Maria was sensible that her mind was formed to
endure — that she had not less fortitude and energy than
sensibility, and she endeavored to recall that vigor of spirit
which she was sensible of possessing at a period when her
understanding was less mature than now. Alas! these rec-
ollections but served to show her the sad state of her own
heart — the heart which, even in this moment of alarm for
her parents, yet beat high for another also; she felt that his
sorrows were amongst those lamented the most sincerely,
and that every hope for the future was closely intermingled
with him.

Maria had paced the apartment in which she was left for
several hours, unconscious how time was passing, when the
return of the carriage roused her, and she began hastily to
reconsider her promise, and her plans for the future ; but all
were alike put to flight by the appearance of their usual
medical attendant, who, alighting from the carriage, entered
the house, to prepare her for receiving her father in an
alarming state: all she could learn was, that certain letters


34 DECISION.

announcing the loss by shipwreck of Mr. Mayton, the bank-
ruptey already spoken of, and the death of poor Mr. Ingal-
ton ata time when his spirits were so much agitated, had
produced an apoplectic fit, in which he had been held for
some hours, and which had placed his life in the greatest
Jeopardy.

In such a moment, all error, and even all sorrow, was for-
gotten, save that which arose from sympathy in the suffer-
ings of her father and the grief of her mother; for many
days, Maria watched by the bedside of the invalid, with an
anxiety and solicitude scarcely exceeded by that of the fond
and wretched wife, but which was far more efficaciously
evinced. Her powers of mind appeared to have reached
a sudden maturity under the alarming pressure of the time,
and to combine a power of recollection, which gave the
benefit of experience and of self-possession, and rendered
the cares of affection really beneficial to their object — hap-
py power! for the alarmed, distracted mother of Maria was
at this period almost wholly helpless — alternately suffering
from the agonies of grief, and overwhelmed with the stupor
and exhaustion consequent upon them.

When Mr. Falconer crept down stairs after a long con-
finement, he appeared to have added twenty years of age to
his bending, attenuated form, and the high health and manly
beauty for which (together with the flow of spirits) he had
been hitherto remarkable, rendered the change impressive
» €ven to the most careless observer. His servants started
when they heard the “childish treble” of’ bis voice, and
his friends considered that he had been “killed in the
cure,” and the tone in which they congratulated him on
his convalescence bespoke their actual fears for his state.
His first appearance, however, called up a third class, who
pressed round him the more earnestly, because they were
not likely to have him long to press, if report from the
others could be relied on.

These were his creditors, and those of the house which he
now solely represented, and who naturally inquired in what
;

DECISION. 35

‘their future security consisted. Mr. Falconer saw all who
approached him, laid before them those letters which spoke
of the failure of the bank in question, by which it appeared
also that a large sum of money had actually been amassed
here, which doubtless Mr. Mayton was about to bring for
he relief of the house. All were satisfied that, but for

‘misfortunes none could foresee, notwithstanding past defi .

ciencies, no wrong had been intended; but they earnestly
pressed the propriety of sending some person over immedi-
‘ately to Dantzic for the purpose of ascertaining the extent
of the evil, and securing any further debt that might pos-
‘sibly remain there.

It was evident that Frank alone could be that person,
since Mr. Falconer was utterly unequal to the task; and, as
‘much time had already passed, it was now settled that the
traveller elect should lose not an hour in setting out; and,
agreeably with every trait of worth which he had hitherto
displayed, the young gentleman professed his readiness to
‘obey their wishes.

_ Maria’s heart sank as she heard of this determination; but
she saw its propriety, and only lamented that her young
friend had not the benefit of her old friend’s advice and
assistance, in a scene which, she was well aware, he was at
present ill calculated to encounter. No endeavors had
hitherto been spared by young Ingalton to make himself a
man of business; but he had not yet shaken off the air of a
student, though he had attained the routine of counting-
louse avocations ; and his consciousness of this prevented
him from assuming either the knowledge or activity which
he possessed. In all the tender offices of an exemplary son,
the ceaseless attentions of a warm-hearted friend, he moved
between the two houses so painfully situated as one whose
presence inspired support and consolation; but he entered
the scene of his compelled avocations with a con&trained and
timid air, as one whose duties were yet to be learnt. Maria,
tenderly as her heart was drawn towards him, was too quick
to discern every peculiarity in those around not to be aware
of this, and in the evening, when he came to bid them fare-

well, wished to say some hing which should encourage him
to have more self-reliance. She had known that he had
beriefited from her advice in many other instances, and
‘never surely had he required a stimulus more than now;
yet she found it impossible to speak to him.

Frank was not only evidently oppressed with sorrow that
he controlled with the utmost difficulty, but with something
that pressed upon his spirits beyond, or distinct from, the
trouble which belonged to his disagreeable and probably
fruitless journey ; his eyes were continually bent towards the
door ; he started at the slightest sound, repeatedly opened his
mouth as if beginning to ask a question, which yet died
upon his lips, and at length rushed away, in extreme agita-
tion, above an hour before it appeared necessary, as if he
had recollected something concerning his luggage; but his
heart was too full to admit of explanations on trivial sub-
jects,

Before he could have reached the garden gate, Maria also
had closed the door in her own room, and tears were
streaming from her eyes, whilst blessings and prayers for
his safety murmured from her lips. When the first trans-
port of grief had subsided, a soothing emotion stole over
her mind, and allayed that sense of solicitude which had
long pressed on her spirits, and damped much of the vi-
vacity which was natural to her, — « Surely there was in the
manners of Frank, this evening, a restlessness of grief that
resembled her own feelings — in his sorrow there was a
tenderness, an alarm, an indefinite something. Had we
been alone—” Maria blushed as she whispered these words,
but her color as quickly receded on recollecting that they
had been alone, during which time he had earnestly recom-
mended his mother to her care — « Excellent youth! he
thought only of his widowed parent, even at a moment
80 important to himself” — she remembered also how he
started with an air of disappointment on her father’s en-
trance —in fact, his manners abundantly spoke distress and
embarrassment ; it had been so great that he had forgotten to
leave even a single adieu to poor Ellen.
DECISION. 37.

If, however, the apprehended, the desired cause of this
confusion did indeed affect Frank, it was not less evident
that the same sense of duty which had so Jong kept him
silent still operated, and would continue to do so, so long as
the unhappy affairs in which both families were involved
continued, and which there was but too much reason to fear
would blight forever the tender hopes of love. “ Frank,”
said Maria, “bas nobly made himself a sacrifice for his
family ; alas! mine is perhaps little better situated ; ought 1
not to follow his example ?”

The how this could be done now perpetually occupied her
mind; and since Mr. Falconer was now seldom able to go to
B——, yet frequently obliged to receive visits of business,
Maria became an eager listener to all conversations con-
nected with subjects which till now she would naturally have
fled from. By slow degrees Mr. Falconer’s health returned,
but that of Mrs. Falconer was extremely delicate ; yet she
continued to show every attention true friendship could
suggest to her widowed friend, and often wept over her
situation, saying, “that, when Frank returned, something
must be done to lessen her expenditure —she must leave
the house.”

“She can remove from her present house,” said Maria,
« better during his absence, I should think, than when he is
at home —why subject him to the pain of witnessing her
pain? she has no other dependence, and should rather spare
him than use him on slight occasions!”

« But they are all females, you know, Maria; what can
women do?”

« Every thing, dear mother, which rational and account-
able creatures are called to do; women can cast accounts,
estimate expenses, contrive where to spend and where to
spare, for every housekeeper does it. She can endure toil,
for in humble life, the most delicate encounter a daily por-
tion of it, and in high life, the love of pleasure leads many
to adopt it. That woman can sustain much, as well as
suffer much, poor Mrs. Ingalton is herself a proof, since for

‘See after things,”

Mrs. Falconer did not reply.

“If we were to part with the Carriage, horses, and dogs,
With one man and two maids, — dispense, of Course, with the
Sardeuer, and let his cottage and our house, we should” —___

“ Dear Maria, how you talk! your father Could not exist

were a prison ? were we not all born to consider carriages
‘and herses as the necessaries of life? and pray do not you
love the dogs better than any body; you could not walk
Without Sancho, Mayflower, and the Poodle ; and poor Vixen

The name and the inference Silenced Maria at the moment :
but since she had so far broken the ice as to give her mother

ing either anger or grief, she determined to venture on the
subject again, under cover of poor Mrs. Ingalton’s name,
-and one day, when it Was broached before her father, had
‘the satisfaction to hear him Say, “that although be did not
dike his wife to be without the Carriage, yet he believed jt
would be as well to part with it, especially as it was seldom
‘used of late.” .

Mrs. Falconer instantly renounced all desire {p, it; and

every luxury without a sigh, if it would add to her father’s
ease ; and doubted not but that his regard for her had pre-
vented him from doing, on the other hand, that which his
circumstances required, Her heart bled to think that two

CHAPTER V.

Time passed — letters were received from Frank, but no
remittances; nor did it appear probable that any property
would be obtained from his journey, as he found that the
late Mr. Mayton had indeed placed so large a sum there, as
to include all that could be conceived due to the house.
This money had previously been in a bank at Stockholm,
where it had been placed, not in the name of the firm, but
the individual, and there was great reason to suspect that
Mayton’s designs were altogether sinister and nefarious,
since he had completely drained his partners of their re-
sources, and was known to have contracted a partnership
with a Russia house, for which it appeared too probable that
he had thus accumulated funds actually belonging to his
English connections.

Mr. Falconer was now (partly from feeling it his duty to
be more open with his family than formerly, and partly from
his double loss of the Ingaltons) in the habit of speaking on
the subject of his letters and affairs; in which conversation
Maria ever took a warm interest, not only perhaps for the
sake of the subject, but because it enabled her to learn the
movements of Frank, without rendering him the immediate
subject of inquiry. One day, Mr. Falconer observed, “ that
he had hoped to have seen him in May, but he now feared it
would be October, at which time his late unhappy partner-
ship would be dissolved.”

« May!” said Maria, changing the subject to avoid show-
ing her disappointment —“ in May, Ellen will be of age —
yes, the fifteenth of May.”
40 DECISION.

“ Are you sure of that?” said both parents eagerly,

“ Quite sure, because I shall be twenty in April.”

“ She is right,” said Mr. Falconer tremulously, with a look
full of meaning towards his wife.

For several days there was much consultation between
her parents, from which Maria was constantly excluded —
again she frequently saw traces of’ tears on her mother’s
face, and observed her frequently casting her eyes towards
herself with an expression of the utmost sorrow: she be-
came pale, her appetite failed, and the weakness which had
lately been removed, returned in the most distressing
degree,

“ Dear mother, what can we do for you ?” said Maria.

“Nothing, my love; I am going soon into Wales, and my
native air will probably do me good; indeed, | have no ail-
ment; I am only nervous.”

“ Mother, dear mother,” cried Maria, in a voice full of
anguish, “you are no such thing ; there is something the
matter with you beyond what I am permitted to see — yet
surely I have a right to know and to share your troubles,”

“ A right ?— O Maria, do not u pbraid me!” Mrs. Falconer
sank, oppressed almost to faintin , on the nearest seat — her
face was perfectly pale, her lips blue, and her eyelids fel]
over eyes which seemed receding even from life. Maria was
terrified ; she sank on her knees before her, and eagerly
kissing her hands, besought her by every fond and tender
word which rose to her gasping lips, to pardon her if she
liad done wrong, to exert kerself, and if possible to open
her heart to a daughter who lived but to contribute to her
happiness.

“ Look at me, dear mother — speak to me!” she cried in
agony — “forgive me.”

“*T can have nothing to forgive in you, Maria, but you — O,
how much have you to forgive in your mother! — I cannot,
cannot look at you.”

Maria sprang from her knees; she hastily poured some
drops into water, which were restorative, and presented
DECISION. AL

them to her mother’s lips, at the same time saying in great
agitation, —

«Pray take these drops; do not thus distress yourself; [
know all you would say — your settlement — it is all gone —
never mind — only *>cover, and [—I will do every thing,
mamma.”

Mrs. Falconer started, gazed a moment wildly on Maria’s
face, clasped her round the neck, and burst into a flood of
bitter tears.

Thankful for this change, Maria wisely suffered the long-
pent-up agony to subside,— fervently, though silently, praying
that the Almighty would give her the power of devoting her-
self, in every possible way, to a parent whom she felt at this
moment bound to by ties of pity still more than of duty, whose
purity of conduct, and pious integrity of principle, she had
witnessed in innumerable instances, and whose violation of
good faith (if it were such towards herself) had unquestion-
ably brought her to the brink of the grave. When at length
she was able to speak, Mrs. Falconer said, tremulously, yet as
‘f she was a little eased by the discovery ef her daughter, —

“ You know, then, dear Maria, that I have given — that is,
that I have lent, your dear father”

«] know very little, mother; but I certainly, for all our
sakes, do wish to know, and think I ought to know, some-
thing of my own situation as connected with yours.”

«You are right, Maria; I have urged this to your father
many times, but he has such a full assurance that all things
will come round, that he shall be enabled eventually to sup-
ply all deficiencies, that he would never permit me to speak.
—[ have suffered from this silence — O, how have J.
suffered!”

«Cruel, wicked man! He has robbed, and almost mur--

who never offended him? — and does he add to this the im-
position of silence on the subject, until all, all is gone, as
though he sought to bring ruin by so dreadful a stroke, that
it should at once crush reason and life? QO, fie, fieon him!”

Maria spoke with a rapidity and indignation proportioned
to the feelings which agitated her, and traversed the room
with that unceasing and perturbed step which seasons of
severe suffering are so apt to produce, Every time she lifted
up her eyes, and cast one glance at her mother, her passions
of grief and anger, pure compassion and unbounded affec-
tion, seemed to increase, and transport her beyond all limits
of patience and all power of consolation: she beheld her
as an unoffending victim, still lovely, elegant, in the merid-
ian of life, condemned in years that were past to ceaseless
solicitude and self-reproach, in years to come probably to
degradation, poverty, scorn, and remorse: the prospect was
'00 appalling to be borne; she shuddered, and covered hei
eyes; but no tear issued from their burning orbs.

“Your father has undoubtedly done wrong in subjecting
himself to these losses,” said Mrs, Falconer, in a deprecating
tone; “ but remember, Maria, that he was brought up with
little knowledge of the world — that he lost his father very
early, married one who was little more than a child, and
was led by degrees into circumstances which he could not
foresee, nor guard against. How many fine young men like
him would have spent their money in dissipation, the com
mon error of his countrymen — how many, in vicious, dis
honorable pursuits ! ”

“Is it not dishonorable for a man to rob his own wife 2?—
to entail the miseries of poverty on that being whom Le has
especially promised to protect, and whose very helplessness
_ ought to have rendered her the chief object of his care ?”

“The world and the world’s usages generally require
that a wife should partake the good or evil fortunes of her
husband, Maria, and I believe that, on the whole, it is better
- that there should be no Separate interest between people so
. situated.”

heart, that rule which he has revealed in his word, forbids
us to injure any one, most of all the creature who has placed
happiness and property in our bands: of all other robbers,
it appears to me that a husband is the most wicked, because
he is the most powerful; he can withhold all good, bestow
every degree of pain and grief— he can threaten or cajole
his victim, render his tenderness or his tyranny equally effi-
cacious for his purpose, and ”

«Hear me, Maria; you are justly wounded, and it is only
a proper punishment for me, perhaps, that I should listen to
words which are indeed daggers to my heart — but yet”

“Daggers! O God! is it by me you are wounded ? but I
cannot help it — if I feel, it is for you— you know, or you
will know some day, that it is for you only that I am thus
moved.” .

“I do know you, Maria —I have no doubt of your duty,
your disinterested affection —and I have but little doubt
that in that alone I shall find all the future good life has in
store; but I conjure you, by that sense of justice which I
know to be the ruling movement of your breast, hear me
plead for your father.”

Maria threw herself on her knees before her mother, and
laying her face on her lap, that she might hide the expres-
sion of her countenance, compelled herself to be silent.

“ Your father has been ever a kind, attentive, and faithful —
husband — pleasure has never seduced him from my side;
perplexity and distress have never soured his temper,
abated his indulgence, or cooled his affection for me. If he
has concealed misfortune at some times, it has been to save
me from suffering; if he has engaged in new schemes, it
has been for the purpose of retrieving losses from old ones:

when circumstance at length drew him to England, and
obliged him to lay his affairs before me, 1 offered to throw
my settlement instantly into the fire, with all the warmth
incident to the heart of a young, fond wife, whose child was
too young to excite fears for its future fate ; but this sacrifice
he strenuously refiised, and merely accepted a loan, which
he employed in business as an aid to us all.” |

“You did right, and he did not do wrong,” said Maria,
down whose cheeks the tears now began to trickle freely.

“ Unhappily, a breach once made was frequently renewed
— business grew unproductive, our expenses were trebled
in this country, and your father was averse to diminishing
our establishment, lest it should injure his credit ; hor could
he bear to see my situation stripped of its comforts,

“Nonsense! it was his duty and yours — there is nothing
imperative but duty — but go on.”

“He had first only five thousand pounds — then I sold
a farm — when Ellen’s father died, we disposed of the mine,
and now ” ——

“Now! what have you left ?”

“The manor-house and some land, for which | have re-
ceived a very liberal offer.”

“ Which offer you shall not accept,” said Maria, Starting
on her feet; “no, no; that little spot of your own land, in
your own country, you shall retain if 1 have power or right

“Ellen! what has Ellen to do with it?”

of his kind heart, he Promised to make a thousand: strictly

dear girl ; but I cannot bear so to consider the case. Yet as,
since our losses, I cannot insure to you any thing more than
the three thousand pounds now offered me for the farm in
question, if you insist upon it, I will not sell it, Maria.”

Maria was silent.

“J must not, however, conceal from you that I am certain
it will be the death of your father.”

After a long pause, the daughter replied, —

“It shall be sold; Ellen shall not be wronged; there are
also two small annuitants who must be secured — my father
has been a man of strict honor to all but his own family, and
1 believe with you it would kill him not to do his utmost,
and you love him so much, that i would kill you also.”

“ You too love him, Maria, fondly love him; when he lay
so lately stretched on the bed of sickness, what sacrifice
would you have thought too great to give for him ?”

“Question me not, mother — my heart is still too full of
varied but terrible emotions. Promise me only that you will
struggle to recover your health, that you will assure yourself
of my perfect forgiveness, and accord me your confidence —
but | have nothing now to learn; degradation and poverty
are before us —a long, long life, of altered circumstances
—of pity mingled with scorn, of privation imbittered by
inemory.”

Mrs. Falconer wept in very agony again.

“ Mother, dear mother, pardon me —take comfort, for I
will be to you a husband, a fond, toiling, careful husband —
1 can at least provide manna in the wilderness where we
shall all be cast, and I pledge myself to do it— may God
so bless me, as I shall fulfil the vow which binds me to
you.”

With these words, Maria flew to her own chamber, from
whence she returned not for the remainder of the day, and
where she passed the night in deep but unavailing sorrow,
her mind tossed as with ceaseless tempest, one moment
trembling for the present health of her mother, the next

to the grave.

CHAPTER VL

Maarza took a little refreshment in her room, but the per-
turbed state of her feelings rendered the idea of going to
bed disagreeable, and she continued to walk slowly the
length of her chamber and dressing-room, until she was
completely exhausted, when she flung herself on her couch,
and sunk into that profound sleep which frequently suc-
ceeds extreme agitation.

On awaking, Maria was sensible of headache and extreme
thirst, and she instantly rose to procure water; the sun
shone beamingly into the room, and she drew the curtain
aside to view the refreshing green which in April spreads
over the face of renovated nature the promise of future good:
her eye was struck with the appearance of a post-chaise
at the garden gate, into which her father was assisting her
mother, whose maid followed, and they instantly drove off
in the direction for their intended western journey.

“ They are gone,” said Maria, “and I must, I will go also;
but whither? what is there that I can do to avert the evils
around us—upon us! —the sure ruin which is accelerated
by every turn of the wheels which convey them hence.”

She dressed and descended, and was informed that, as Mrs.
Falconer seemed a little better than usual, it was thought ad-
visable to set off that morning ; and on finding that she was
very fast asleep, both parents had given her a farewell kiss
without disturbing her, but had left a message entreating her
to go to Sir James 'Trevannion’s, and either remain there dur-
ing their absence, or procure the company of Miss Powis.

Maria heard this message in silence; but a bitter and scorn-
48 DECISION.

ful smile rose to her lip, and when the servant had closed
the door, she exclaimed, —

“No, no; — company — indulgence of every kind must be
given up; I must commune with my own heart, must resolve
from the dictates of my own mind. I must try to help those
who cannot help themselves. Ah! Frank, dear Frank, how
young we both are, how much are we both strangers to that
world through which we are alike fated to wing our way like
the stork, carrying our parents.”

Yet there was something consolatory in the thought of re-
sembling Frank in his virtues, in his sorrows —in thinking
the same thoughts, encountering the same difficulties, and
being united in a bond of similar suffering, which somewhat
_ relieved the deep dejection, and awoke the dormant energy
she desired, but almost despaired of exciting in her own
over-charged spirit. Maria’s smile subsided ; she began to
weep, and to bless her parents,

After some time, being roused by a question from the ser-
. Vant respecting dinner, she answered sharply, “Iam going to
Sir James Trevannion’s immediately. I shall walk —] want
no attendance ” —_

“Tt is a long walk, ma’am, and ” —_

Maria waved her hand, as much as to say, “ Leave me
alone,” and the deep sorrow seated on her countenance
showed that intrusion must be indeed painful. In a tew min-
utes she had tied on a large bonnet, and, enveloped in a shaw],
set out on a solitary path which Jed circuitously to the place
which she now sought with hasty, anxious steps, but in a
short time almost resolved to avoid: often she returned for
a short space, and then again she retraced her Steps: at length,
worn out with fatigue and uneasiness, she entered the mansion
by the housekeeper’s room in the dusk, whilst the family were
at dinner: struck with her wild and ghastly looks, the negli-
gence of her dress, and the manner in which she came, the
mistress of the apartment, who had known her from child-
hood, accosted her with alarm not less than kindness, when
she inquired what was the matter — what she could do for her,
DECISION. 49

«Take me direct to Miss Powis’s bedroom, — do not tell
any one I am here but her, —and get me some tea, for I can
take nothing else —my mouth is parched —I have over-
done myself; that is all.”

The housekeeper complied with these requisitions ; and
the beloved Ellen alone glided round the bed, and whispered
tender inquiries respecting her health and peace. She re-
ceived little reply, beyond a few terrible and astounding words,
which announced the prediction, uppermost on her mind, of
the approaching ruin of her parents, who were scarcely less
dear to Ellen than herself, and over whose misfortunes she
wept bitterly ; but when she would have inquired further, she
was desired, in a tone cold and authoritative, to ask no ques-
tions ; “she had heard all that sufficed to account for the ap-
pearance and the misery of her visitant.”

There was something so unlike her former self in Maria’s
manners, — and the whiteness of her lips, the circumscribed
glowing spot upon her cheek, indicated so much fever, — that,
as the idea of disease had been given to Ellen by the house-
keeper, she really apprehended that her young friend was
suffering under delirium, and knew not how far it was her
duty to infringe upon her request, (strenuously as it had now
been urged,) and inform the family. Maria, however, lay still,
but was not asleep, and her lips frequently moved, as if she
were engaged in soliloquy or computation ; but Elien trusted
she was not worse at least, and concluded, therefore, to wait
till morning, sitting by the side of the bed, watching her with
unceasing solicitude and fond affection the whole night.

The sounds of those domestic movements which announce
the return of day roused Maria from her deep contempla-
tion; she sat up in bed, took her purse, which was under
her pillow, and, emptying it before her, counted the contents
carefully. “Here are eleven guineas,” said she, “ and seven-
teen shillings : have you any money, dear Ellen ?”

“J have about six pounds, I believe.”

«You will lend it to me, I am certain; but you would
rather give it to me. Well, I will accept it, thankfully, and

5
50 DECISION,

With this money I will immediately begin business ; and who
knows how well I may do in the world ? Pray for me, dear
Ellen, that God may prosper my endeavor to assist my pa-
rents. I trust he has inspired me with the resolution I now
Jeel, and even the plan I have adopted.”

Maria’s voice was a little tremulous; but she spoke dis-
tinctly, and her face, though very pale, was so composed in
its expression, that the late fears of Ellen gave way to the
Conviction that extreme distress, and the broodings of a
harassed mind over some new and difficult undertaking,
had alone produced the alarming appearances which had
excited her past fears. She eagerly opened her work-box,
and instantly mingled her little store with that of Maria,
who now had risen, and, though evidently very poorly, was
dressing herself with as much rapidity as her health per-
mitted.

“T have already told you, Ellen,” said she, “that my pa-
rents are gone to receive the last money in my poor mother’s
power; it will be, necessarily, soon paid away; in October
all their affairs will be settled, and it must inevitably be
found, with the late losses in Germany, that there will not
be sufficient to pay the creditors ; all will be broken up and
sold, and there will be no residue. My father will seek for
a Situation as a clerk; but he is too much a gentleman, too
little a tradesman, to find one ; his late illness has robbed
him of the strength necessary for other labor, and ” —_.

Ellen, utterly unable to endure such a picture of the :nan
to whom, from her cradle, she had looked as a master, and
long loved as a father, broke into hysterical Weeping, and
Maria was compelled literally to “ comfort her comforter.”

“Nay, dear Ellen, do not weep thus; I only wanted to
prove to you the necessity there is that I should guard
against evils so inevitable, — that, like the new comedy, I
should ‘ Stoop to Conquer ;’ and in order to Spare myself
the further exercise of feeling which I now find will really
unfit me for the altered situation to which I must submit,
T bave, at length, determined to commence immediately.
DECISION. 51

Struggle with your feelings, that you may strengthen mine.
I must not allow myself to cry any more. 1 must act, not
weep.”

« What will you do, Maria?”

«] will sell iron—sell it by retail in small quantities, to
little manufacturers.”

Ellen suddenly removed her handkerchief, and strained -
her tearful eyes to gaze again on Maria, to see if she were, or
were not, in her senses — she dared not to speak lest she
should irritate the malady she dreaded, and Maria con-
tinued :

“I have been for many weeks an attentive listener to
every conversation which has passed on subjects connected
with business, and I find that all the poorer masters, in our
great manufacturing town, labor under great disadvantages
for want of a medium betwixt them and the iron masters ;
andI have heard it repeatedly observed, ‘ that if any decent
workman would have the resolution to save his wages till
he had obtained thirty or forty pounds, he might begin the
trade with a certainty of thriving, provided he gave no
credit, and was content with a moderate, constant profit.’ ”

« But, my dear Maria, that which a Jaboring man might
indeed do well, and profitably, cannot be done by a young,
delicate, pretty woman — a lady too, whose birth, education,
and habits, render ber utterly unfit for such employment —
one, too, who possesses talents which she can consistently
employ to advantage in the occupations becoming a gentle-
woman.”

« [ know all you would urge, dear Ellen, for I really be-
lieve that, whilst I lay upon that bed, I have had more
subjects of thought, more recollections, cogitations, and
deductions, than the whole lives of many women present:
my conclusions have not been made in consequence of sud-
den impulse, but deep examination. In the first place, I
thought of obtaining a situation resembling yours; but that
I instantly rejected, since it would only enable me to provide
for myself’ — besides, let me confess, my pride, the long in-

dulgence accorded to an only child, and still more the inde-
pendence of my nature, render me unfit for servitude, even’
in its most ameliorated shape.”

“ But you might teach without entering a family.”

“Not to any sufficient purpose: music lessons are now
confined to the harpsichord, and on that, you know, I do not
excel, having, in despite of fashion, ever adopted my own na-
tive Irish harp ; and, for the reason I gave you before, you will
perceive that it would be easier for me to live amongst the
poor, than receive from the rich, and especially the low and
purse-proud, that remuneration they would feel pain to give,
and I should feel more pain to receive.”

“But your exquisite voice, your elegant person, Maria!
I cannot bear to think you should be wasted, lost to society.”

“Yet even you, Ellen, would not like to see me on the
Stage ; though, had I been brought up to it, in a pecuniary
point of view it might have answered —nhever let my mother
know that it even passed our minds, | have, in short, deter-
mined to try iron, and nothing else. It has been the ruin of
my family, and ought to make amends — it has swallowed
house and land, and should therefore find bread and lodging,
which is all I now presume to hope for,”

“Mr. Falconer will never endure to See you so degraded
— it will break his heart.”

“Tt will, I fear, render his temper irritable, which is, in-
deed, a great affliction to me; but yet I trust the Sweetness
of my mother’s pleadings will soften him, and, in a short
time, poor man! his own affairs will engross him wholly,
and make him forget me and my paltry concerns, until that
time when he will find that I have labored for his sake —
disobeyed and disgraced him, (as he will term it,) that I
might find a shelter for his latter days, on which pride may
glance with scorn, but shall never enter with insult,”

“Ah! dear Maria, you think you have made up your mind
to encounter difficulties ; but indeed you have no idea of the
extent or the nature of what you brave. The poor, in these
manufacturing towns, are very distinct from the simple,
DECISION. 53

warm-hearted creatures who used to adore ‘his honor and
idolize his honor’s child ;? whom you considered under your
protection, and loved because you benefited — vulgarity will
disgust you — mean arts be practised upon you ten times a
day.”

“ Unquestionably, but I must learn to endure them.”

« Besides, your feelings will be so wrought upon, that you
never will be able to save that which you may get — never
yet have you resisted the pleadings of the poor; what will
become of you when you are thrown into the midst of
them ?— when sights of sorrow are daily before you, when
complaints are the only language that meets your ear.”

« Ellen, my plan will enable me most essentially to benefit
my fellow-creatures, and extend to them an actual good, far
more efficient than any partial help such as I was wont to
give, or my heart may still yearn to bestow. With this
knowledge I must learn to be content. I may sometimes
meet rudeness that may vex me, and I shall, doubtless, find
ingratitude, for every body says that it abounds in the poor;
but yet 1 shall also undoubtediy find some honest attach-
ment; I shall see some who thrive under my auspices, and
then I shall rejoice and be encouraged. I am so young,
have so long a journey before me, that it will be strange in-
deed if there are no green spots, no little flowery resting-
places, in the whole of my thorny path.”

Ellen still shook her head, still wept over her friend, as if
she considered her a victim, yet one on whom her highest
admiration rested: her mind, less gifted and less excited,
did not in fact grasp, in its circle of difficulties, half so many
as had already presented themselves, in formidable array or
galling vexatiousness, to the imagination of her who had
resolved to encounter them, had examined, weighed, and
decided upon them, and who, now aware that her friend’s
absence would excite inquiry, prepared to leave her after
taking a very slight refreshment.

“ You shall not go till I have given you all I have,” said

5%
54 DECISION.

Ellen: “you mean to make up the sum of which you
spoke, doubtless, by disposing of your ornaments; and I too
have a few; they were principally given by you, and therefore
very dear to me, but”

Maria, with a kind smile, followed by a sigh, received the
trinkets, saying, “Give them to me, Ellen, now, and when |
am rich you shall have much better ;” and added, “Now,
good by; you have done me a great deal of good, and given
me wealth — do not hang upon me, dear Ellen, do not awa-
ken emotions which destroy me — there — you shan’t kiss me
again; you have nothing more to say, my love, have you?”

“Y—es,” said Ellen, turning away her head, “I have
something to say, something I wished to tell you, but in a
time of such distress I could not mention it —- yet, alas! my
secret is in some measure connected with the sad cireum-
stances belonging to you and yours — we are closely united
in our anxieties.”

“For Heaven’s sake tell me this secret — but perhaps I
know to what you allude.”

“TI dare say you do, Maria ; Mr. Francis Ingalton has”

“ Frahk Ingalton has — what has he done ?— speak.”

“No harm, dear Maria; your spirits are in such a flutter,
your imagination takes the alarm at every thing ; but I know
you have a sister’s regard for him, and more than a sister’s
for me, and it is only right you should know that, on the
night he set out, he galloped over here, just to bid me fare-
well — Maria, I am sure you are ill”

“ Quite well,” gasped Maria; « go on, Ellen.”

“ And he confessed — indeed it was a trying scene to us
both — he spoke of his poverty, his melancholy prospects,
his widowed mother, helpless sister, and his long-cherished
love.”

“His love ? — love? go on, Ellen ” ——

“ Yes, his love, and do not blame me, Maria, but J certainly
felt it mutual, and said so.” '

“Love! it was love for you he confessed!” Such were






DECISION. 55

the words that died on Maria’s tongue as she sank fainting
on the floor, and remained in a death-like swoon.

Ellen, in great terror, and full of self-reproach for not
having foreseen such an effect, as the consequence of pre-
vious agitation, instantly alarmed the house ; and Lady Tre-
vannion, with great surprise and some sense of displeasure,
first learnt the arrival of one who had long been particularly
dear to her, and over whose pale form she hung with deep
solicitude : in time Maria sighed, opened her eyes, and, by
slow degrees, regained her senses.

The first person she saw was Ellen —a slight shudder
followed, and she again closed her eyes, but the voice of
Lady Trevannion and her smelling-bottle recalled her, and,
laying her head on her bosom, she faintly whispered “ that
she was much better,” after which, she earnestly requested
to be Jeft alone upon the sofa.

No objection was made to this, for Lady Trevannion was
anxious to inquire from Ellen what was amiss. ‘The answer
she received only confirmed those flying reports which had al-
ready reached Sir James, and awoke the sincere sympathy of
both. Ellen did not betray the schemes of Maria to them, for
she felt assured that they could not be put in practice, and they
still appeared to her so inconsistent with all that belonged
to the past life of Maria, to the elegance and fastidiousness
of her cultivated mind, and lofty, though gentle bearing,
that the idea of fever and delirium again presented itself.
Lady Trevannion, sincerely sorry for Maria, pressed her to
remain with them, at least till her mother’s return; but after
the restoration of an hour’s solitude and a cup of chocolate,
she earnestly desired to go home; and at length Lady Tre-
vannion ordered her coach, and set out thither with her.

The ride, the pure air, the effort she made to shake off
the remembrance of that last overwhelming pang, which
had produced an effect altogether new in her little history,
so far restored her that Lady Trevannion felt satisfied to
leave her; but she went into the house with her to give di-
56 DECISION.

rections to the servants, and inform them in what manner
their young lady had been affected.

In the breakfast parlor stood her harp, at that time an
insirument comparatively seldom seen, but which Lady Tre-
vannion admired much, especially as an accompaniment to
her own excellent performance. “How I wish you had been
well enough, my love, to play me that air I gave you last
week,” said she.

Maria drew her hand across the chords, but she found it
impossible to play.

“T cannot play the air, but I can give you the instrument,

dear Lady Trevannion — put it into the coach with you;
there is room for it.”
“My dear girl, 1 would not rob you of it for the world —
in truth, you were made for each other; in my opinion
’twould be parting a wedded pair, and little short of sacri-
lege.”

Maria again looked very pale, but she tried to smile, and
said, “ But it is my fate to Live single.”

“'That may be, Maria, for I have certainly never yet seen
the man ] thought meet to marry you; but should it be so,
your instrument will be doubly valuable ; it will Stand you
instead of matrimonial music, supply the tedium of solitary
hours, and the charming varieties produced by lecturing
husbands, squalling children, and unmanageable servants.”

“I cannot jest to-day, but you will really oblige me by
taking it away for the present — divorce me from it for
seven years; at the end of that time, if Ihave merited it, I
will reclaim it ; during that time, at least, books and music
must be renounced by me.”

“For Heaven’s sake, Maria, what are you about ?”

“To renounce your acquaintance, dear Lady Trevannion
— not your esteem ; no! you will accord me that. Iam un-
equal to explaining what I mean, and you are quite unequal
to approving my decision, or changing it. I shall do nothing
which, as a woman or a Christian, will not challenge your
DECISION. o7

approbation ; but as a person moving in your sphere of life,
I much question that you could be so unprejudiced as to
deem me eligible to the place I wish to fill. I must be the
builder of my own fortune, and aim the contriver of my own
scheme. 1 inherit a love for speculating, you know”

As Lady Trevannion could not argue against that plan to
which she was a stranger, and perceived that there was in
her young friend a firmness of character which was the result
of deep thought, and a high sense of duty and affection, she
departed, taking with her the harp, some favorite music, and
a few choice books. Maria felt herself a little easier when
they were out of sight; she called them “tempters, which
it were well to remove,” and she felt that there was a double
call for their absence, since every song and every page was
full of those mementos which brought back the image, the
words, the ideas of Frank, interwoven so long with all the
actions of her life, the imaginings of her heart. When left
to herself, long and bitterly did she weep; yet often did she
reproach herself for the weakness thus betrayed, and felt
astonished how a person, so resolved as she had been but a
few hours before to resign every thing, even the love of this
very man, (when she trusted it was hers,) could yet be over-
powered so completely when the pain of separation was
spared her —she knew not till now that love feels, not rea-
sons, and became most sensible how blindly, how entirely,
she had ventured to love, when assured that the obiect of
her affections was in every possible way removec from her
hopes forever.
53 DECISION.

CHAPTER VIL

SEVERELY as Maria suffered at this time, it is yet certain
that the resolution she had formed, and the many plans and
expectations which arose out of it, greatly aided in relieving
her spirits from that intolerable sense of anguish, disappoint
ment, and mortification, to which Ellen’s discovery would
inevitably have subjected her, had she been enabled to
indulge in solitude the heart-rending thoughts that inces-
santly sprung to her mind. Often did she repine that the
happy insensibility into which she had sunk, was exchanged
for the turmoil of contending passions, and deep-seated
grief, which now assailed her; and more than Once she bent
her knees to pray, “that her heavenly Father would remove
her from a world to her so full of suffering.” At these mo-
ments, the recollection of What her mother’s sorrow and
situation would be in Consequence of such an event arrested
her words, and pierced her heart with remorse ; she ceased
to pray that the « cup of sorrow might be removed,” and
endeavored to say, “Not my will, but thine, be done!”

Happy indeed was it for Maria, that, with a clear view of
What wisdom and virtue prescribed, she partook also that
pure faith which taught submission and promised reward.
She felt a comfort, in religious reliance on the God of provi-
dence, those only can conceive who, in the hour of distress,
have been thus supported — and, becoming aware, more
and more, that the indulgence of’ sorrow would render her

the resolutions poor Ellen had so unintentionally inter-
rupted, and determined that very night to sleep in B—,
DECISION. 59

if possible, and begin the business she meditated in the
morning.

A few of her plainest clothes were soon packed in a small
portmanteau, and despatched to the house of a workman
whom she had long known for a quiet, civil man, living in
the very heart of the town, in the midst of smoke and dust,
but possessing a kind of large lumber-room contiguous to
his dwelling, which he had once let as a coach-office, now to
his great trouble removed. His wife was a decent woman,
she believed, and she knew they had only one child, to
whom she had been kind; so that many circumstances com-
bined to render this poor couple and their spare premises
eligible for her plan; and none more so, than the circum-
stance that the man himself would be out of employment,
whenever the business of her father’s house came to an end,
and there was at this period so little done that he could hardly
fail to be thankful for any assistance she could give him.

Many times Maria endeavored to write to her mother, but
as often did she find the thing impossible, and therefore at
length gave it up in despair; considering also that a few
days might safely elapse, and that Mrs. Ingalton would be a
good and faithful informer and mediator between them.
She was persuaded that no time could be more proper for
her trial than the present, since the spirits of her parents
would be somewhat lightened by the possession of ready
money, and the consoling sense of doing justice to the
amiable orphan who held a dear place in their hearts — that
their journey would be beneficial to her mother’s health, and
enable her the better to sustain her absence, and supply to
her father the companion and the amusement he had been
wont to find in his daughter. Having said all this over and
over to her own heart, which, in despite of all that reason
could,urge and resolution demand, was still a woman’s heart,
and quailed before the “dread unknown” to which it was
impelled, she once more addressed herself to her purpose.

“Tam going to B——” said she to the footman, “ and
shall not return —I mean for some days.”
60 DECISION.

“Do you ride, ma’am, or shall 1 attend you?”

“ Neither — and, William, call the dogs away ; they must

“Not Mayflower, ma’am? Mrs. Ingalton is very fond of
Mayflower ; she won’t think it any trouble to have him for a
day or two; and the creature do so mourn after you, there’s
no living for him.”

Maria durst not trust herself to speak, but she shook her
head in token of negative. There was another person far
worse to leave than Mayflower — her old Irish nurse, who
remained a nondescript servant, and occasional mistress,
whom it was always necessary to elude when a private
stroll was intended, for Kathleen had such an idea of the
importance of her ladies that, if she could have ruled, a
troop of horse should have attended them. Never, till the
preceding day, had Maria left her home for a night without
bidding her farewell, and nothing less than her return in
Lady Trevannion’s carriage as an invalid could have recon-
ciled her to the event; but in accounting for it, Maria had
prepared her for the return of the evil, and even for the
approach of greater—she was now weeping in a remote
apartment: to encounter her affectionate lamentations,
mingled as they were with recapitulations of the glory
and honor of the Falconers, the grandeur and antiquity of
Sharon-Lacey, was altogether impossible.

Terrible as these parting pangs were, and determined as
Maria thought herself to avoid them, yet when she heard
the well-known winnow of her beautiful little mare, which
happened to espy her as she hastened through the paddock
that was her nearest road to the town, she could not forbear
to turn and pat the sleek neck of the favorite, which con-
tinued to follow her to the stile, as if wooing her to re-
sume their usual airings, |

“So, so, Fanny — poor Fanny, what will become of you
now ?— Pshaw ! — what will become of me if I suffer such
things to move me ?”

Yet, in despite of self-reproach, for a moment Maria’s head
DECISION. 61

rested on Fanny’s neck, and her tears fell on it — the loud
howl of her favorite greyhound roused her — she looked
round, and though glad that the evening was closing, and
that she should enter the town unseen, she yet also partook
a little that sensation of fear to which her sex and her habits
subjected her; she hesitated whether to pursue her inten-
tion, or step back into the house and take William with her
across the fields.

“Yet in that case,” said she, “there will be perhaps
Kathleen and Mary; no, no, I must go alone —I must suffer
alone — perhaps too I may conquer alone; ah Frank! even
now, weak and weary as I am, ignorant as I feel myself of
that which I am about to learn, and to endure, yet I am
sensible that I have courage and energy enough to bear all,
sustain all that is before me, if you”

Again she felt as if she should faint, so thickly did. her
breath heave, and so chilly were the sensations which crept
over her trembling limbs; but she was alone, and a sense of
terror lest she should fall in such a place sustained her,
and after a short rest she obtained the power of pro-
ceeding.

That part of the town to which she now bent her steps
was so little known to her, that she procured a child asa
guide, whose steps she followed with great difficulty, through
many a long, dirty lane, crowded with dingy inhabitants,
who stared at the lady as a novelty in their purlieus seldom
seen, although she had wisely dressed herself in a dark
habit and stripped her beaver of its plume. She arrived at
the house of William Mitchell just at the time when its
master had concluded his daily labors, and his wife was
making up a cheerful fire —that comfort which the inhab-
itants of a coal district generally indulge in, whether re-
quired by the weather or not.

William was spelling out her name on the portmanteau,
which had been left an hour before, as she entered, and his
astonishment at her appearance and her inquiries was soon
superseded by his joy at disposing of his warehouse, and

learning that she was engaging in an undertaking which
insured him employment: the expectation she expressed
that he would also accommodate her with board and lodg-
ing, was of a more startling nature to both him and his
helpmate.

“I shall live with you, and promise to give you very little
trouble,” said Maria.

“'To be sure, we have a bed, such as it is, and in a day
two we might get a few things.”

“But I can’t say as Iam any thing of a cook,” said ¢ »
wife.

“] require no cooking,” cried Maria, in great anxiety and
the bargain was soon concluded. She took a seat nv.;< the
fire, and, whilst the wife departed to prepare her bed, began
eagerly to arrange all her future plans with the husband,
whom she soon accompanied into the place destined to be
the scene of her gains and her labors, and which she found
calculated for its purpose beyond her hopes.

When this was over, she returned into the house, and
found, upon the uncovered table, a substantial loaf and a
piece of pale, unpromising cheese. Maria recollected, at
this appearance, that she had taken no tea, and she wished
for a cup exceedingly ; but, fearful of giving extraordinary
trouble on her first entrance, and resolved to embrace in its
fullest extent the change she had imposed on herself, she sat
down and cut herself a piece of bread, but was beginning to
find that she could not persuade nor command it down her
throat, when Sally Mitchell placed a foaming pint of beer
on the table, to which she invited her with all the good-will
of a kind heart offering a valuable gift.

“TI never drink malt liquor,” said Maria, “ but I will take a
little ”

“ Wine and water” was on the point of following ; but she
checked herself, and said “ spring water.”

“As you please, miss,” said Sally ; “ we have a very good
pump ; but to see how pale you look, and how different you be

“Iv’s very good advice,” said William, “because if you
goes for to do business, ma’am, and to live by labor, and
with poor folks, you’ll find it quite needful to take support
same as they.”

Maria felt her heart grateful for the interest evinced in
this recommendation, and, determined to find no obstacles to
her establishment, she took the jug and drank heartily. The
sense of present refreshment, she experienced, was suc-
ceeded by heaviness ; and as she had never closed her eyes
the night before that, even on the hard truckle-bed of Sally
Mitchell she enjoyed a long, salutary sleep, in which her
worn-out frame and spirits regained the strength so greatly
needed.
64 DECISION,

CHAPTER VIL

Maria had retired to her humble cabin at an hour so
unusually early, that the long, refreshing sleep she had en-
joyed left her with the dawn of day, which flung its
beams through the uncurtained windows, and aroused her
to resume those energies, aud prove the stability of those
resolutions, so lately but so decidedly adopted,

Yet it was some time before she could conquer the sense
of surprise and dismay which seized on her senses, and
confused her faculties. “Where could she be? how deplor-
able was the place! how coarse the sheets! what noise and
confusion were around her! ”

By degrees she remembered her situation — remembered
that this day she was to embark on a new state of existence
in every respect; that humility, labor, zeal, integrity, and
constancy in well-doing, were the virtues to which, in the
act of thus embarking on a new, untried, and tempestuous
ocean, she had fully pledged herself; that henceforward
she must deem herself tied to the oar, not less by duty than
choice, and since the renunciation of all the pleasures of her
past life was required from her, must endeavor to find pleas-
ure in the exercise of powers, the anticipation of rewards,
hitherto unknown and unsought for.

Retiring to the corner of her chamber, she knelt down,
and long and fervently besought her heavenly Father to
strengthen her weakness, confirm her resolution, guide her
ignorance, and enable her so to place the future welfare of
her parents before her eyes, that her motive for self-devo
tion might ever operate on her mind, and bestow the activity
DECISION. 65

and patience she required: for them too she prayed; but
then her heart melted, her eyes overflowed, yet she arose
calm and comforted.

Mitchell was down stairs, awaiting her commands, and a
single hour sufficed for their preparations ; a fire was made
in the warehouse, a quantity of dry straw laid on one side of
it: a wagon-load of iron bars soon afterwards were there
deposited ; an old desk and a stool, left by the last occupants,
were at present sufficient for the new one, but a pair of
magnificent scales were purchased by Mitchell in the neigh-
borhood, and suspended by him from the ceiling, as such
things had formerly been.

When this was arranged, Maria knew that she could
breakfast. On going into the house to request a cup of tea,
she found preparation made to that effect, whilst large
basins of boiled milk, stuffed with bread, formed the more
substantial beverage of her companions. Sensible that such
food would be more likely to suit the hunger she really felt,
and that she might hereafter feel, she determined on adopt-
ing it, and told Mrs. Mitchell she would henceforward drink
tea only in the evening, when they would take it together —
information received with great pleasure, as until now this
luxury had seldom been seen in the establishment of poor
Sally save on Sundays.

Advertisements were not the fashion of that day, nor were
they wanted; a sheet of paper written in a large hand,
stuck in the house window, announced the welcome fact,
that artisans in steel might have their material supplied in
small quantities, of the best quality, at the market price, and
the news ran from mouth to mouth through garrets and
sinithies, workshops and dwelling-houses, with equal ra-
pidity —every where it was received with joy, as containing
the promise of good ; the discontented workman saw in it the
power of emancipating himself from real or supposed tyran-
ny; the humble manufacturer felt that it would relieve him
from the actual despotism of those great iron-masters, who
had long held him in bondage; and ina very short time,

6 *

more respectable customers appeared than even the san-
guine prognostications of Mitchell had ever calculated upon.

The appearance of Maria in a pair of thick leather gloves,
a French night-cap, surmounted by her beaver hat, and a
brown Holland apron tied over her habit, surprised all who
came; and when from her name, and a glance at her nearly
concealed face, they were led to believe that the person
before them could be no other “than beautiful Miss Fal-
coner of Grove Place,” surprise, astonishment, and pity,
involyed them all in silence. The time had not yet arrived
when the lower classes were infected with those half.
digested ideas of liberty and equality which taught them to
rejoice in the sufferings of their superiors, and tempted them
to aim at pulling down the high, and trampling on the
fallen. They all knew that misfortune and death had
visited the mercantile house to which she belonged ; but
they had always understood that "Squire Falconer and his
lady were more nobly descended, more substantially pro-
vided, than any other, even of the rich people of the town;
that they were of a class distinct and above those to whom
they were accustomed to look up; and such a change, such
a fall as this was petrifying.

Maria weighed her iron bars with as little awk wardness,
and as much precision, as could be expected, firmly declin-
ing, as far as possible, even Mitchell’s assistance; and after
serving three persons at a time, she then walked to her rough
desk, to calculate the amount of each parcel, and receive
the money: for that purpose she took off the thick brown
leather gloves with which her hands were guarded.

“'The Lord ha mercy on us, what hands!” Such was the
first exclamation that broke on Maria’s ear: it proceeded
involuntarily from the lips of a begrimed, thick-set son of
Vulcan, with shirt-sleeves rolled up to his shoulders; the
rest of his squat form was enveloped in that useful garment,
a leathern dick or apron, and a beard of some standing
formed a contrast to a clean striped cap, which had been
put on to give respectability to his appearance as a customer.
DECISION. 67

Maria half started at his voice, and still more on finding him
so near her, as he tendered a crown and some sixpences,
which he was going to couut into her hand.

The start did not offend John Bilson, who felt that he had
perhaps unwillingly given pain, and he began to frame an
apology.

“JT doant mean to say nout ageeanst yer hands, miss,
madom— nobbut they’re varry white, and varry little, more
fitter for playin at the top of yer musicals, and sewing at
embroideries, than handling iron — that’s all.”

“They are hands that have fed the hungry, and cloathed
the neaked, as I’ve hard say,” observed one of his neigh-
bors ; “so ’tis not right te make no observations upon things
as is past and gone.”

“ Zounds, mon, don’t preach,” cried John; “TPve noa
doubt on’t, and wi God’s blessing they’ll doo’t again. Mad-
am, I’m the first parson as have given ye money — shake
hands wi’ me for luck —I mean no offence whatever.”

Maria laid her hand freely on the broad, black palm of
her first customer, and, as she did so, looked in his face, and
saw that his eyes were full of tears: fearful of showing his
emotion, he hastily turned away, shouldered his purchase,
and withdrew. No other person attempted the like liberty ;
Maria was not called upon to repel impertinence, or to
silence loquacity ; all seemed aware that there was “a great
gulf between them,” and since there could be no higgling
on the subject of price, no choice in the quality or appear-
ance of the article ; since the buyers, contrary to all similar
situations in which such persons stand, were the obliged
parties, the day, though one of great fatigue, yet served to
show Maria that it was possible for her to endure that which
she had adopted, and even to be thankful that she found it
no worse.

It is true that she could not eat the coarse, half-cooked
meat which furnished Sally Mitchell’s provision for dinner,
and she dreaded lying down again on the hard pallet, con-
scious that it would not afford a second night of undisturbed
68 DECISION.

repose ; but the remembrance of the kind, though rough,
faces she had seen around her soothed her Spirits more the
more she reflected upon them ; and if any one had been near
her, to whom she could have spoken, she would have been
eloquent in her praise of that genuine sensibility, which can
inform the humblest children of humanity with all the re-
finements of delicate attention — lively, yet deep respect.
She rejoiced that, by frequent intercourse with poverty, asa
benefactress, her ear had become accustomed to phraseology
that would have been otherwise, perhaps, uncouth and dis-
gusting, and that her dealings were with the decidedly low,
in preference to the vulgar who ape gentility, and are dis-
gusting alike from ignorance and affectation.

Could she have sat down with Frank, at the end of her
day’s labor, to describe the characters, or laugh at the ad-
ventures and embarrassments it had offered, — could she
meet her mother’s gentle smile, listen to her father’s pros-
pects of success, — this life might surely be borne. Alas!
she felt that she must support it without any such helps; in
lowliness of heart, in unshared conflict of mind, or commu-
nication of intellect, she must persevere in her rugged path.

A very few days sufficed to show Maria that it is not
always “le premier pas qui coute.” All her first customers
had recovered from their taciturnity the moment they left
her presence, and related to every one they saw the won-
derful scene in which they had borne a part —the fact,
“that Miss Falconer was lodging at the house of her father’s
warehouseman, and selling iron,” ran from the manufactory
to the counting-house, from the kitchen to the drawing-
room, all through the extensive population of B——, and
even to its surrounding villages. When combined with the
absence of her father, it placed the affairs of that house he
now solely represented iu a more threatening point of view
than they had hitherto assumed, and it is certain that his
creditors, in some places, held consultations upon it, and
looked as if they knew not how to proceed. Their wives
and daughters, and those of many others in the higher circle
DECISION. 69

of the society of B——, were apparently beiter qualified to
judge; for, however they might differ as to the moy-
ing principle, or person, they alike condemned the action
exhibited. Some young ladies abused Mr. Falconer as the
most barbarous father who ever had existed, and imputed
much of his cruelty to the land of his birth, maintaining
that he alone must have caused his daughter to enter ona
situation so repugnant to her habits; and there were not
wanting some who described the terrible scene which took
place between them on the occasion. Others averred “ that
Maria bad a penchant for young Ingalton, which being dis-
covered by her proud parents, she had been driven from
their house, and compelled to adopt a trade, which, requir-
ing no knowledge, and belonging, in some measure, to the
connection of her future husband, she held only till he
should return, when they would marry, and play at ‘ love
in a cottage’ for the rest of their lives ” —a declaration which
called a tender sigh of sympathy from some lips, and made
others curl with disdain.

The elder ladies pretty generally inveighed against Maria’s
conduct, on the score of indelicacy, presumption, and inde-
pendence: the vehement protested against young women
who could think of such a thing as leaving their father’s
house to herd with low people; if the girl really knew she
was ruined, and must earn her bread, why not go out as a
lady’s maid? or why not learn millinery? or, as she was
a mighty bookish miss, try to keep a circulating library ?
The mild thought it was always wrong for woman to intrude
on the province of man — it was perverting the order of things,
and could never prosper. All agreed, that, although Miss
Falconer was very handsome, very clever and accomplished,
very fond of her parents, good to the poor, and so forth, yet
“there was something odd about her.” Each could recollect
a little eccentricity or peculiarity ; one observed, “ that she was
fond of conversing with men, arguing points, and asking ques-
tions, us if her mind were like theirs;” another, “ that she
had an Jrish kind of partiality to animals, which proved that
Sn
70 DECISION.

she had originally been brought up with them, — poor crea.
ture !—and therefore returned, perhaps not unwillingly, to
the abodes of filthy people ;” a third remembered, “ that she
had quite a passion for poetry, and, though it was not gener
ally known, yet in fact she wrote verses herself, wnic- =|
a sure proof of a romantic turn, and had, probably, led to
this strange resolution.” It was observed, on all sides, that
it would not last long, but that it could not fail to cast a
lasting stigma on the poor creature who had so insanely
adopted it.

All these opinions and Judgments, with every shade and’
variation they could receive, necessarily fell on the ear of
poor Mrs. Ingalton, who loved Maria fondly, because she
knew her well; and greatly were her own troubles increased
(great as they were) by information so astonishing in the
first instance, and condemnation so excessive in the second.

She endeavored to convince her informers that the whole
story was false — that there was some imposition in it; but
when driven from that by those who protested they had ac-
tually visited the horrid place where she lived, and even so
far peeped in as to see a queer-looking, muffled-up woman,
with half a dozen forgemen about her, the crime was proved,
and the state of the culprit could not be denied.

Mrs. Ingalton and her eldest daughter proceeded to the
place in the dusk of the evening, and found Maria still at
the receipt of custom, and so busy, that she was some time
before she perceived them; as the last customer took up his
iron, she advanced towards them, raising her hat from her
brow, and displaying to them an open, friendly countenance.

“Maria! is it indeed you that I find thus employed ?—]
heard, but could not believe it — for Heaven’s sake, what is
the meaning of all this? ”

“JT mean, dear Mrs. Ingalton, in the first place, to earn my
own bread, which, I promise you, shall be for some time coarse
in quality, and not superabundant in quantity, that I may the
sooner provide it for my parents also. I hope Emily also
will, in some way more agreeable to her own notions, follow
my example.”
DECISION. 71

“Have you, then, had any private communication from
my son? Do you consider us as ruined ?”

“I have not —I know nothing new, nothing, at least, re-
specting business, from Mr. Francis Ingalton ; but I do know
that, whatever may be your future lot, our doom is sealed
—and I will not stand by and see my mother rendered
houseless, without making an effort to provide her a roof of
some kind. I know the whole of our acquaintance are con-
demning me; | know that from Mitchell; but I can bear it.”

“No one can blame you for seeking to help your parents,
if there should prove occasion for your exertion; but on
such a subject you should have thought much, have taken
advice. Your father could never, surely, dictate this.”

“ My father! you know well, Mrs. Ingalton, that my father
has never seen a cloud in the sky, nor will do it, till the
storm bursts, which will overwhelm him. I have thought
much, and reasoned long, ere I either formed my plan or
adopted my resolution. My opinions on the nature of that
business in which I have engaged arose from what the first
men in the place have frequently advanced — little money,
little knowledge, but great industry, and great firmness, are
called for: you know how well the first apply to me — it
remains for me to prove the last.”

“It will break your mother’s heart to see you thus — it
will indeed, Maria.”

“QO, no! it will save that heart from breaking; for it is an
honest heart, and is now relieved from a secret much heavier
than my rods of iron: besides, dear Mrs. Ingalton, you will
mention it to her with tenderness, I know you will — to-mor-
row evening go to them, break it to them, and soften it as
well as you are able.”

“ But may I promise you will renounce it ?”

“Certainly not. My resolution to persevere is inevitable ;
I have forbidden Mitchell ever again to tell me one single
report or surmise on my conduct. I will go on in despite
of the world, for I know not only my motives to be good,
but my prospects, and I will not suffer my mind to be
72 DECISION,

weighed down by the calumny of others, or the feelings
of my own heart —I will be as hard as the article I deal in,
Who will suffer in the affair as I have suffered and must
suffer ? who can know the pangs”

Mrs. Ingalton wept bitterly, but Maria slowly paced the
floor, and removed the straw which obtruded beyond its
bounds, as if even here she wished to observe her accus-
tomed neatness.

“ Will you not go home with us, Maria?” resumed Mrs.
Ingalton, when she was able to speak,

“No, thank ye —I must not render my hard fare more
unpalatable by mixing it with better; it will be some months
before 1 shall venture upon any indulgences of that kind; —
this is my resolution. All I will, at this time, accept from
you, is a little bed-linen —in a short time I shall be rich
enough, to buy myself many little comforts.”

As Maria spoke, she exhibited a large canvass purse, very
full of silver, and another, in which were a few half-guineas,
and, as she did so, there was a little of that laughing arch-
ness in her eye, and dimpled smile in her expressive mouth,
which, in better days, had been the subject of Mrs. Ingal-
ton’s admiration, and which she believed at this very mo-
ment held the heart of her beloved Frank in bondage. She
was compelled to take her leave, and she went home to her
house oppressed with sorrow, and trembling for the dénoue-
ment of the morrow.

Yet when Mrs. Ingalton revolved the matter im her mind
dispassionately, she could not fail to see that, in all her
conclusions, Maria was unquestionably right, and that her
conduct was dictated by the purest motives, and even the
wisest principles. She looked earnestly on her own situ-
ation, rallied her own powers, computed those of her
daughters, nor did she lay her head on her pillow till she
had fairly calculated their chance of succeeding in a board-
ing school, and concluded to seek advice on the subject from
Maria herself:


DECISION. 73:

CHAPTER IX.

In the new view of affairs which Mrs. Ingalton’s mind
had adopted, it will be properly concluded that she repre-
sented the resolution taken by Maria, and the situation she
had chosen, in the most favorable light that it could be
placed, and in every respect endeavored to conciliate her
parents, or rather her father; for, however Mrs. Falconer
might lament the loss of her society, and the degradation to
which she had submitted, it was impossible for her not to
honor the principle, and feel even grateful for the love, which
dictated such a sacrifice. Mr. Falconer’s perception of the
matter was, unhappily, completely the reverse; his pride
and his poverty equally took the alarm, and, whilst the first
urged him to denounce his daughter as acting in a manner
totally unworthy of her ancestors and her education, undu-
tifully towards her parents, and unbecomingly as to all her
connections, the latter led him to apprehend that all his
creditors would, from such an exposure of the situation of
his wife’s finances, be induced to press him for that day of
settlement he dreaded to name.

That such an effect, to a certain degree. did follow, must
be admitted; it had been amongst those effects on which
Maria had calculated, and she had joined with this know}-
edge the consolatory remembrance, that those poor trades-
men, to whom sinall sums were of great importance, would
at the present time find her father able to discharge them,
in doing which his credit would be strengthened. She
knew perfectly well that, although an imprudent, adventur-

ous, and speculative man, her father was intentionally hon-
7
“74 DECISION.

‘est, in the strictest sense of the word, — honorable and liberal
‘in all his transactions ; and that inability to discharge such
‘obligations would entail upon him regret which, in his
present reduced state, he was ill able to endure. Her con-
jectures proved right — he paid them, eased his own heart
‘of the oppression, and blamed his daughter, as if she had
‘committed a positive robbery on his purse, and indulged
against her a strain of invective proportioned to the fond
regard and idolizing admiration with which he was wont to
_ tontemplate her.

‘l'o.such a degree did this temper proceed, that the poor
mother could at length bear it no longer; she wrote in the
.most moving terms to Maria, beseeching her “to abandon a
scheme which it would be cruel, almost impious, to pursue fur-
ther; since it had unhappily sown the first seeds of dissension
‘between her parents, and produced an effect on her father’s
temper, which neither the misfortunes of time past, nor the
.apprehension of time to come, had ever awakened; she
praised her warmly, thanked her tenderly for the efforts she
had made, but solemnly protested against the continuance of
them, declaring that she was ready to endure evil in any other
‘shape; butdhis she could not meet, since it separated her from
all .that .hitherto consoled and sustained her anxious, un-
shappy life.”

Over this meek but affecting statement of her mother’s
feelings, the still fond, tender, though resolute daughter wept,
and almost shuddered; she felt that she was indeed a very
young woman to act suv determinate a part — that the purest
intention would not justify erroneous action, nor even success
warrant disobedience. Decided as she had been, and even
thus far justified in her expectation of deriving good, (even far
beyond her most sanguine hopes,) still it was possible that the
evil she incurred might not be obviated by the good she med-
itated — perhaps she was destroying, not only the peace, but
the health,.of her mother ; it might be that her obstinate ad-
herence to her system would bring back that terrible com-
plaint on her father, which had left behind it rayages she
dreaded to think of:
DECISION. 75

Yet, on the other hand, October was drawing nigh; Frank
Ingalton was returning (she dreaded to remember that) with
little money, and all that she had foreseen was necessarily
advancing ; and her father, at forty-three, with a wife scarcely
thirty-seven, must be cast on the mercy of a world, for which
the very dispositions they now evinced evidently rendered
them peculiarly unfit. How was a man so proud, so sensi-
tive, to endure servitude, which would inevitably be his por-
tion — since it was certain he had always been too much a
gentleman to be highly talented as a tradesman; with much
activity, he had little method ; with good theory on his tongue,
little practice of head or hand; liable to imposition, even
from a child, in cunning; generous to profusion, and utterly
devoid of all that wisdom conveyed in the advice, “ Take care
of pence — pounds take care of themselves.”

Moreover, she had now established a new and very thriv-
ing concern, which, if she laid down for but a week, would
be eagerly adopted by people with capital, who, seeing its
success, had already regretted their own want of foresight
in suffering such a mine to remain so long unwrought, yet
would not, at present, oppose so young and poor an adven-
turer, in her humble, and, as they now all began to feel, her
laudable attempt. If she dropped it, then it was gone for-
ever.; and whatever might be the trials it imposed, the toils
it occasioned, yet she felt that to her spirit there was less
of humiliation in it than any she could hope to adopt. Never
had she been degraded by the “proud one’s contumely,”
irritated by condescending patronage — the pity which in-
sults, the assistance which degrades.

It is true that low rogues had sought to cheat her ; that the
deceitful had, in a few instances, cajoled her; but these at-
tempts to impose on her credulity, and excite her charity,
had been effectually useful ; they had led her to explore the
cell of poverty where it really existed, and enabled her to
soothe the hour of want, and the bed of sickness, by a por-
tion of her hard-earned gains, a participation of her scanty
comforts: she had attained a power of encouraging the in-
76 DECISION.

dustrious, of controlling the idle, of benefiting many, and the
certain prospect of extending this power beyond calculation ;
it was, then, her duty to preserve it.

Doubtless, in these hopes and expectations of good, there
was the form of one whose name was not uttered, that
claimed a large share of consideration, and romantic visions
floated in the perspective which rational hope spread out.
Alas! she who could even yet have bestowed worlds upon
him hoped not to share them with him, but a fond and gen-
erous heart took refuge now from the oppression inflicted
_ by disappointment, in the dreams of friendship ; and although
it is probable that the fevered spirit felt as if the good it in-
tended must operate “ like coals of fire” on his heart, it yet
could not cease to meditate some assistance, or even aggran-
dizement, for one so long and tenderly beloved.

After all these reviews of the subject, Maria at length
cousidered it her duty to visit her parents, and Jay before
them a full statement of her feelings, her views, her profits,
and her prospects, yet without pledging herself to abandon
that which every examination rendered more valuable in her
sight. How she had longed to see them, how ardeutly she
desired to receive their approbation and their blessing, may be
conceived, even from her absence, since, strong-minded and
decisive as her conduct had already bespoke her, she had
not dared to meet countenances which would melt the sin-
ews of her resolve, and which, even in their kindness, would
sO agitate, and, as it were, unman her, as to unfit her for the
stern duties of her laborious and ceaseless round of oecu-
pation.

The following Sunday, under the escort of Mitchell, and
by a circuitous path, about the close of day, Maria once
nore presented herself before her parents: the very action
was an assurance to Mrs. Falconer that her letter had pro-
duced all the effect she desired, and she fell on her neck and
welcomed her with thankfulness not less than love ; it was
in vain, too, that her father endeavored to assume the anger
le had so often fulminated in her absence : his lip trembled,
DECISION. T7

the first touch of her hand disarmed him, and in another
moment she was locked in his arms.

Terrible, indeed, was this reception to the heart of Maria ;
she could have argued point by point, have produced facts,
pleaded necessities ; but how could she resist the tenderness,
the confidence in her submission, thus displayed ? — how
could she look on the whitening locks of her father, and
maintain her own superior wisdom? how dash from the
placid countenance of her mother that glowing happiness
now painted upon it, in an expression more bright than it
had worn for years ?

“ We have just received letters from our dear Francis Tn-
galton,” said Mrs. Falconer; “ he will be here next week,
most probably.”

Mr. Falconer gave a profound sigh, and immediately the
smile which had illuminated his lady’s countenance was dis-
persed.

“Do not sigh, father,” said Maria; “ something will be
done, depend upon it.”

« Something has been done, most blamably done; but J
will not reproach you for the past, Maria.”

“Nor, I trust, for the future, since it is certain that all |
have done, and mean to do, is for you.”

“ Ridiculous! what can the earnings of a few paltry shil-
lings, drawn from the black paws of the lowest rabble, do ?
Will your profits find strings to your harp, Miss Falconer ?”

“ Allow me to show you, dear father —to explain to you
the advantage — the necessity — the ”

“ Maria, Maria, do not reproach us!” cried the mother, in
a voice of agouy.

“ Go away, girl —is it not enough that you have disgraced
us — injured us — must you insult us also ?”

As Mr. Falconer spake, he caught his wife in his arms,
and with an angry motion, such as he had never used to her
even in the days of childhood, pointed to the door.

“1 go,” said Maria, haughtily — for anger at that moment
flushed her cheek, and dried the tears that had lingered in
her eyes. “I go, but my mother may recall me; and re-
member, f have used uo word of reproach. I have not
deserved — but I will say nothing — you have preserved
me, and I ought to thank you for confirming me in my
decision.”

CHAPTER X.

Mazza left the room, and was hastening out of the house 5
but her steps were arrested by those four-footed friends we
have already alluded to, and the sound of their congratula-
tions brought Kathleen also, who hung around her darling
with all the doting fondness and obstreperous sorrow pe-
culiar to her country. Maria took her by the hand, and
resolutely approaching the door, the old woman flung her
apron over her head, and conceiving that she was going to
hear some secret, suddenly became quiet, and walked out
with her.

They entered the paddock, and there Maria calmed the
beatings of a heart whose pulsation had been quickened by
various emotions in the inquiries she stopped to make on
every particular of the health of both her parents. The
answers were, on the whole, very satisfactory ; nor could she
be sorry to find also that two servants had been provided
with places in the neighborhood; but a sigh certainly rose,
when Kathleen added, —

“It was all the better, for sartin, that George should go,
seeing as he had no work at all, when the mare was sould
away to young Birchett ” —

“The mare ? — my pretty Fanny”

“© yes! sure; and you did’nt know then? and is it me
that has tould you the news? ill luck to the tongue that did
it, for 1 know it will grieve you.”

“ No, no; it is all right—she has got a good manger and
a kind master — I am content.”

“ Nay, nay ; as to content, blessins on the swate voice of ye,


Ss) DECISION.

there’s no content in the case at all, but only, ye see, it just
broke the hearts of them — of your parents I mane —to set
eyes on her, and the cratur was of no use, seeing master
was too heavy for her; so, when the youth, who is quite a
bit stripling, said how he’d do by her, and offered a mighty
high price into the bargain, madam said as how it was their
duty to let it go; but her eyes were as red after it as if
the blood had come from her heart to bathe them; so they
were.”

“ But, good Kathleen, you must turn back: you see I have
Mitchell following ; he will take care of me; but you will be
alone.”

“But why cannot I go wi ye altogidder, miss? surely Pll
work my fingers to the bone for ye;— sleep on straw, and
eat pratees the rest of my days —if you are poor, (as they tell
me you are,) is it not proper I should be poorer still, being
your sarvant? Now, pray answer me that — do answer it.”

“You are older than I, my good Kathleen.”

“ And no mighty matter o’ that rather ; some forty years is
the outside on’t; an thof my lady has made me asy in my
please, there’s good work in me yet for many’s the day to
come.”

“JI know it, my good Kathleen; and depend upon it, you
shall work for me by and bye; only don’t ery, and you
shall do any thing.”

“But how can I help it? Am I not delighted to labor,
and to starve, and to sup sorrow by spoonfuls? and deuce a
drop can I get of it—ye take it all on yourself — ye do,
ye do, Miss Falconer; an it isn’t handsome of ye.”

The reiterated assurances that in a very short time she
should share in all her troubles at length induced Kathleen to
return, and her young, idolized lady pursued her melancholy
walk with pensive steps, and a sense of deep depression on
her spirits, which she felt utterly incapable of shaking off.
Sincerely did she now repent that she had suffered her
original plan to be so far infringed upon as to have subjected
herself to vexation which had answered no good end, and
DECISION. Sl

awakened in her memory those thousand pangs of recel-
lected pleasures, hopes, and even sorrows, which it was
necessary to blunt and destroy, or at least supplaut, by less
endearing but more appropriate ideas.

The morning was long in its approach to her now sleep-
less eyes; but when it came again, the press of business, the
sense of usefulness, and even the perpetual necessity of
self-control, roused her from that enfeebling dejection which
threatened more to subdue the energy and sap the vigor of
her mind, than violent emotion. Again she counted her
profits, calculated the amount of that which she required, or
which she had a probability of insuring, and, for that time
at least, might be said to “go on her way rejoicing.” But
when the remembrance of Frank’s near approach struck on
her heart, at such moments it inflicted intolerable anguish,
and put to flight all sober calculation, all promise of that
calmness necessary for her pursuits, of that happiness which
ought to be their reward.

Yet, when Frank actually arrived, and called upon her
with his mother, she had the satisfaction of seeing him with
more self-possession thau her fiuttering bosom had pre-
viously promised. She thought him much altered, much
improved, in fact, both as to the manliness of his person, and
the ease, steadiness, and quiet importance, of his manners,
which argued that self-reliance and conscious assumption
of necessary knowledge so desirable in every man. He was,
however, all the less, that pale student, that interesting young
man, whose virtuous struggles, warm affections, and soaring
mind, had charmed her imagination, and stolen unwittingly
into her heart: it was, however, certain that he became more
like himself every moment; and Maria, for the first time in
her life, heard him depart with a sensation of relief.

Frank did not visit her again, though he failed in no other
mode of attention which he found would be acceptable ; but
that business which she had strongly urged upon him in this
interview, and which her example still more strongly inculca-
ted, required every moment of his time, and scarcely allowed
RQ DECISION.

him to give to the real object of his love that attention his
heart accorded, but which every circumstance in his unfor-
tunate situation forbade him to indulge.

One Sunday morning, just after returning from that which
had now become her parish church, Maria was surprised
by a visit from Ellen. She wore, on her entrance, a cheerful
countenance ; but, on casting her eyes around, the composure
she had assumed forsook her, and she was scarcely able to
speak,

“Come into my bedroom,” said Maria; “you will be
better there, my dear.”

But Ellen felt as if she were worse, as she again looked
round, and remembered the beautiful chamber, and the ad-
Joining boudoir, where they had spent so many happy hours,
unconscious that care or poverty was ever likely to reach
them.

“Tam happy, Ellen, in having anticipated those changes
which I perceive are now affecting you; it is a great
deal better to adopt them from choice than necessity, to
feed our own pride by firmness and decision, than endure
the wounds which others may inflict upon it.”

“ Ah, Maria, you are indeed a heroine ; but I am not.”

Maria felt that Ellen was that which she, alas! could
never be; but she rallied her spirits, and said cheerfully, —

“Dear Ellen, we will not talk of my qualities, but my
success ; your gift was invaluable, and I have so turned my
little stock, that it has cleared me already nearly seventy
pounds, besides paying for my board, purchasing these
chairs, that counterpane, and several other articles towards
housekeeping, on which, I assure you, I cast very different
eyes from you, saucy girl as you are.”

“ Dear Maria, lam come to talk to you on that very sub-
ject —to beg you will take the money which your father
paid to me as my fortune, last Thursday, in the presence of
Sir James. I certainly never expected any thing after what
you had said, still less desired that my generous, dear guar-
dian should distress himself about it; but he insisted on
DECISION. 83

paying it, and even the interest due since my coming of
age. Allis here; if you can make so much money out of
a little, I trust you will make a great deal out of this, and be
able to help those excellent parents effectually, whom we.
are equally bound to assist.”

As Ellen spake, she laid on the table a draft on the banker
of Sir James Trevannion for nearly nine hundred pounds,
observing he thought it safer than notes; and although his
lady set her down at a little distance, they were unwilling
to trust cash to her care, she was so little accustomed to a
town.

Maria heard not a word of this exordium; her heart
swelled in her bosom almost to suffocation ; her eye glanced
from the drafi to Ellen’s face, which was very pale, but not
the variation of a single feature gave indication of change in
her sentiments ; and when she had deliberately placed it in
her pocket-book, Ellen whispered, “ ‘Thank you, Maria.”

“ Bravo, Ellen! Now who is the heroine ? ”

“Not I, lam sure; I should be the most ungrateful being
that lived if 1 forgot”

“QO, yes! yes! 1 know what the value of such a sac-
rifice at such a moment is; but I am satisfied —I will
be happy: you merit him, and you shall marry bim; I will
raise heaven and earth in your behalf—1 will carry the
point.”

With these words Maria, oppressed to suffocation by
mingled emotions, burst into a flood of tears.

At length the desire to conceal, even from Ellen, the real
state of her heart, enabled her to appear composed, and it
was not difficult to deceive her; for Ellen felt only surprised
liow she could have received her at all, without displaying
that agitation her situation seemed to call for. She blushed
excessively, and would have asked Maria “ what she meant,”
but for the consciousness that she had for two days been
really fighting a hard battle between her deep regard for her
guardian and her unbounded love for Maria on the one
hand, and the still tenderer preference she felt for the inter-


84 DECISION.

ests of her lover on the other ; and she dreaded any further
exposition of feelings she was too artless to hide. Maria
relieved her by saying, “ Why did not my father pay you
this when you came of age, my dear Ellen 2”

“He said the law justified him in the delay of six months,
which he gladly took, lest I should, by lending you any part
of it, encourage you in what he once considered wrong, and
indeed never should approve; and he added, that, as you
were a minor, it was not possible for any person to lend you
money safely.”

“Can that be true ?” said Maria.

“ It certainly is, for Sir James said so too.”

“Then why did he allow you to bring me this ?”

“ Because I told him that I would have it to give you, not
lend you; so that security was of no use in the business
at all.”

“'There are, dear Ellen, who say that love matures the
understanding, and makes many a giddy girl into a thoughtful
woman ; but the worldly wise would say the reverse was
your case.”

“'They would say wrong, for I thought much, I felt much ;
but your example inspired me, decided me: see what it has
also done for Mrs. Ingalton ; she has procured friends, taken
a house, and hopes to begin a boarding-school at Christmas :
it is all owing to you, and Frank says so ; but every body will,
in time, say the same, and that there never was such a daugh-
ter born as you, cruel as your reward has hitherto been,”

Maria wished the “every body” had been forgotten for
the one person’s sake; but she could ask no questions,
not even on those points which it most concerned her to
Know, and, without informing Ellen what she intended to do
with her money, suffered her to depart, and seek rewards in
her conscience and her friendship — consolation in the
envied society of Frank, whom she was not less inclined to
thank for this generous boon than Ellen herself.

CHAPTER XL.

THe time was now arrived, when the long-dreaded settle-
ment of affairs could be postponed no longer by the sole
representative of that house to which our friend beionged.
Frank had, with the utmost exertion, been able to glean but
a small portion of debts left by Mr. Mayton; and although it
was confidently reported that the banking house, by which
they were such great losers, had considerable property, it
would be a long period before it could be called in, or ren-
dered effective in producing dividends.

It therefore followed that every thing left in the power of
the survivors must be brought forward to liquidate claims
which had been frequently made in vain already, and given
to the house an appearance of deficiency beyond the truth.
Mrs. Ingalton, accustomed to suffering, and now first obtain-
ing light whereby to see her duty, and hope as to the issue,
freely gave up all she had possessed, too conscious that the
property brought by her late husband to the concern was
trifling in comparison with that of poor Falconer and his
richly-dowried wife ; and her son lost no time in brirging
forward his accounts, remittances, and stock in hand; much
more was not required, for the whole demand could not be
considered great, when the former importance of the busi
ness was recollected, and the losses sustained by it.

In truth, from time to time, the property of Mr. Falcone)
had been called upon for the supply of all emergencies, the
pursuit of all speculations. Mayton had preyed upon him
systematically, and Ingalton, who was an amiable and good
man, had become so involved as to do it from necessity ; and

8
86 DECISION,

his affliction from that cause confirmed the disease that con
sumed him. The frequent sale of property, to which the
o1ice wealthy partner was compelled to have recourse, in-
jured the credit of the house, and thus reduced it, in a
double sense, long before the-time when the failure of the
bank at Dantzic confirmed its ruin.

Ever closing his eyes to danger, and deriving hope from
the sanguine temper which had misled him through life, Mr.
Falconer, now the hour of distress reall y arrived, abandoned
all to his creditors, not only with the frank honesty of an
upright man, but the astonishment and despair of one who
for the first time discovers danger of which he had never
been warned, and troubles for which he was utterly unpre-
pared. So much was pity excited for his state, and that of
his faultless wife, (whose only cares were for his health,) that
the principal creditor of the house most kindly offered to
take all his property at a fair valuation, and carry the money
it should produce to his credit, and told him, “on no account
to hurry himself in evacuating the premises.”

When this was done, to the astonishment of many, and
the satisfaction of all interested, it was found that the house,
so long subject to suspicion, paid within a mere trifle all
that was brought against it; and full proof was therefore
given that, within a short period, there was a handsome
surplus. This was often repeated in every possible way to
Mr. Falconer by his lady, but she could not rouse him to
taste of comfort; even the want of that little residue op-
pressed and galled him; he refused to be seen by even his
best friends, and if he had not happily had the power of still
flattering himself with the belief (however slightly founded)
that he should eventually regain property from Dantzic, his
mind undoubtedly had sunk into an utter wreck.

A few weeks previous to this arrangement, their old
friend, Mr. Elderton, returned from Germany, and, having
already heard something of Maria’s movements, lost not an
hour in hastening to see her. She had by this time fitted up
a.small room, which was one of the four which constituted
~

DECISION. 87

Mitchell’s house, into a kind of counting-house parlor, where
he found her regulating ber books, and for some moments
too much engaged to notice his entrance.

The old man took off his spectacles to wipe away the
moisture on them just as Maria looked up. ‘The moment
she saw him, all the cares and the manners of her new oc-
cupation ceased, and she flew into his arms, delighted to
see him, and protesting “that she had sighed for him a
whole twelvemonth, and deemed him a recreant knight.”

“I have had a great deal to do, and to go through,” said
Mr. Elderton; “I have lost a large sum of money, or at least
‘Jost the use of it, (for I do think we shall all be paid at last,)
and, as lam growing older, and have neither wife nor child,
nor even near relation, have resolved to draw my affairs into
a smaller compass, and to close my German connections
altogether.

“ Had I known,” continued he, “what you were doing, I
would have come home sooner, child, to teach you, and
support you under the trial you have so nobly entered
upon.”

“That you would, lam certain; but you are in good time
now; for Frank is returned, and” ——

«1 know it, child, and know also that he has done his
duty whilst he was abroad; in short, that he is an excellent
young man; we will talk about him by and bye: in the first
place, what can I do for you?”

“The greatest possible service — speak well of Frank to
the ereditors of our house, which will incline them to lenient
measures; move them in my poor father’s behalf, and, if
possible, save him from the pain of a public sale of his ef-
fects ; for be assured that he will give up every thing, beyond
the expectations, and almost the wishes, of his creditors.”

“Good! What else ?”

“Visit him, comfort him, give him distant hopes of the
Dantzic money, keep him from all self-reproach, and speak
of me as if we were perfectly friends, which will save him
from the awkwardness of yielding, the pain of accepting
&8 DECISION.

help from one he has treated a Little unwisely and unkindly,
but, as Yorick says, ‘not from his heart?”

It was under this influence, therefore, that the affair was
managed in the manner we have anticipated. When it was
thus arranged, Maria, whose spirits, in their great anxiety
and excitement, bore her through new and excessive fatigue,
one evening, at a late hour, called on Mr. Elderton, and re-
quested him to accompany her to look at a house she was
about taking for her parents.

“It is a pretty-looking place near ,out of repair at
present, to which a piece of common right is just now ad-
judged; has a back screen of elm-trees, and a pleasant
view from the front windows. over a flower-garden.”

“T know it perfectly well; old Bisset lived there; it isa
very pleasant place, and a good house, but wants repair :
the garden is a wilderness.”

“That is my reason for taking it. I get it cheap, on a
long lease, with a power of purchase, and I have no fear of
being able to spare money by degrees, to render it neat and
commodious: tis my great comfort that making it so will
employ my father: you know he cannot live without im-
proving something, speculating on something, and I know
nothing he is more likely to do than render his home com-
fortable, for my dear mother’s sake.”

“You are right, child, quite right, especially in prefer-
ring his welfare to your own natural desire of providing a
place, which, however small, should exhibit your own taste
and neatness. I will see your landlord to-morrow, and ex-
amine your lease; and now go home, for I am busy. But
tell me the truth — did you not come to borrow money ?”

“No,” said Maria, smiling, “not this time; by and by 1
shall appear on that errand.”

She departed, and in the course of another week, with the
aid of Mitchell and John Bilson, who was as fond of seek-
ing a job for her as from her, all her purchases, and what-
ever else was necessary for the accommodation of a sma)]
family, were placed in the house, one parlor of which was


DECISION. 8&9

handsomely papered, carpeted, and rendered every way
genteel and comfortable, thereby affording at once a com-
modious habitation, and an incitement to improve the ex-
terior, consistent with it. A small bed was put up for her-
self, Kathleen’s wants abundantly considered, and an active
young woman hired as her assistant. Beyond this Maria
durst not engage at present ,

Her last journey was to take provisions, to place every
thing in the most easy and habitable form, see that her beds
were aired, her saucepans seasoned. “ Ah!” said Maria,
«sweet are the uses of adversity! How much have they
already taught me! I have been compelled to cook, or I must
have been starved. Ihave become an adept at upholstery, or
my little money would never have spun out so far. One
desperate plunge has taught me how to swim in the rough-
est waters.”

It was now winter, and again, on a Sunday evening, Maria
bent her way to her father’s house ; she entered by the back
road, and, after gladdening the heart of Kathleen by com-
manding her to pack up her clothes immediately, proceeded
to the breakfast parlor, at present the only room used by the
reduced inhabitants. She found her mother reading, or
endeavoring to read, the gospel of the day to her father, who
sometimes listened with the eager air of one who is earnestly
seeking for the comforts he greatly needs, at others cast his
eyes around in all the listless abstraction of wandering, dis-
tressful mind. Both were pale and thin, but the appearance
of Mr. Falconer was much more haggard than his wife ; his
dress was that of melancholy negligence, hers was very
plain, but perfectly neat; it was evident that she struggled
to support herself, to save him from the unutterable pangs
her sufferings and self-desertion would unquestionably have
inflicted on him.

Maria’s light foot was not perceived on her entrance, and
she stood reading the expression on each beloved coun-
tenance, herself pale, fluttered, but too happy to he painfully
overcome, even by the affecting sight before her. She pro-

8 *
90 DECISION.

nounced the word “mother” in a quick, tremulous voice,
and the eyes of both were instantly turned upon her.

Maria sank upon her knees aud clasped her arms around her
father. “Forgive me, dear sir — forgive your naughty Maria.”

“Tam in no humor for jesting, Maria,” said Mr. Falconer,
a momentary hectic tinging his pale cheek: “I have noth-
ing, perhaps, to forgive in you, since it was policy, sound
policy, to quit a falling house ” ——

“Nay, dear father,” said Maria, still trying to smile, “ but ]
have got a falling house, which you, and only you, will be
able to build up. Such as it is, however, it is yours, only
yours, and, so far, better than this, which is borrowed, and, as
Iam given to understand, wanted by Mr. Abdy for his son,
who is going to marry Eliza Greenlaw.”

“ What shall we do ?” said Mr. Falconer, looking wistfully
at his wife.

“ What shall we do, my love, but listen to our dear Maria,
our matchless girl ?”

“No; I cannot see you in sucha place ; I can die first.
To-morrow I will exert myself. I will”

“'To-night, dear father, you will go with me. I tell you
the truth ; I have a home for you on the outskirts of the town,
where no intruding eye shall glance upon you, no want dis-
tress you. Kathleen and another servant are now ready
for you, and by the time your roquelaure and mamma’s
cardinal are adjusted, the chaise will be here ; your night-
clothes are all we remove for the present.”

“In such a hurry ?—on a Sunday night, too? Impos-
sible, child, impossible ! ”

“ Some things are done best in a hurry. Hark! the chaise
is at the gates. We will take the Bible with us, and only
that. Come, come, my dear father.”

Thus, with trembling eagerness, Maria caught her prize,
and when caged, her emotions overflowed in silent tears
that would no longer be suppressed, The fond pressure of
her mother’s hand, and afterwards her whisper, encouraged
her to persevere in those manners which were calculated to


DECISION. 91

save her father from any retrospect of his faults or misfor-
tunes, that might awaken acute sorrow, and in a very few
minutes she began again to speak.

«Indeed, my dear father, you must exert yourself in
modernizing this cob-castle of ours, for it is a sweet situa-
tion, and I know you will get it into nice order in the spring.
The wood may be cut for paling, and there is a fine piece
of ground for a kitchen-garden. ‘To be sure it is very poor
land. I doubt I must have no asparagus from it; but per-
haps you will manage artichokes.”

« We can procure manure for the land, child: perbaps it
may be necessary to get a layer of new soil.”

The hearts of both mother and daughter palpitated with
joy as these words broke on their ears, but especially that
of the wife; for she had many days been trembling under the
most alarming fears that one human being can entertain for
another —fears which had annihilated all thought of her-
self and her situation, and half-banished her solicitude for
that only and much-loved child, whose situation had so long
claimed her unceasing anxiety. Scarcely could she forbear
to utter aloud the thankfulness which sprang to her lips and
agitated her bosom.

The chaise stopped at the house, which was called Elm
Cottage, just as Mitchell and Kathleen, each carrying a
parcel, and lighted by the lantern of the former, reached
the wicket gate. No new faces therefore met the eyes to
whom they might have been painful; and although, as the
light glanced over the dilapidated palisades, Mrs. Falconer
gave an involuntary sigh, which Maria caught, it only ren-
dered her the more eager to conduct them into the parlor,
where a bright fire, lighted candles, new paper and curtains,
with chairs and tables that were not new, gave that air of
united gayety and comfort which delights the eye and sol
. aces the spirits.

Kathleen preceded them, because his honor’s slippers
were in her bundle, and “be would be after wanting them.”
In truth, her glance at the outside of the dwelling had
92 DZCISION,

alarmed her, and she dreaded its effect on him, “ An this
be the place for the last of the Falconers!” had twice passed
her lips; but when she entered the parlor, her fear and sor-
row suddenly were dispelled, and, throwing up her hands,
she exclaimed, —

“QO, to be sure, and it’s only a single step down, your
honor, after all, and mighty asy, to my thinking, seeing what
we've gone through, laving the holy land, and forefathers,
and glory a’ one’s own country; for here’s nither poverty nor
smithy smoke here at all; may the tongue be blistered that
said there was, for here lies the cloth for supper, and a fine
cratur is the cat on the hearth, and by no ianes starved at
all, and the darlin herself — but goodness on me, she’s won-
derful thin and pale-looking.”

Maria had now taken her bonnet and cloak off, and the
exclamation of Kathleen drew the eyes of both her parents
to her. She was indeed thin; care, toil, and altered diet,
had withered the roses on her young cheeks, and diminished
the dazzling lustre of her complexion; and her dress, devoid
of every ornament, at a time when it was the fashion to use
a superabundance, gave altogether a painful alteration in
her appearance that was almost affecting, and in the present
moment almost alarming.

But even the solicitude they now equally expressed on
this subject was rendered subservient to her great design
of increasing their happiness, and of so employing her
father in his home concerns, as to prevent him from en-
gaging in any new business. “I only want change of air,
and ease of mind,” said she, “ aided by vegetable diet ; for I
am perfectly free from all disorder. I shall get the first by
frequently sleeping here; the second by seeing, I trust, that
you are both well and happy; the third my dear father
will provide by cultivating the garden, to which end I can
send him numerous assistants. You know Iam a complete
fidget in all matters requiring neatness; and when the
house is in repair, the palisades renewed, a wall built to the
west end, and a bay window in the adjoining room, I shall

be satisfied, and look quite well, you will see. However, I
am not so inconsistent as to desire all these things at once.
I know that they will take time and money, and we must
manage them by degrees. If you see after them personally,
they will be done for half the money, I am certain, my
dear sir.”

Thus was poor Falconer flattered aud consoled by the
belief that in due time he would save, by his excellent man-
agement, perhaps a pound for every thousand he had lost.
If he saw (as probably he did) the real motive of his un-
paralleled daughter, he saw also that it was his duty to yield
to her wishes. It is at least certain that he appeared to do
so; and they separated from each other for the night with no
reference to the past, though every heart was imbued with
its memory, but with hopes for the future, which were
warmly expressed. Each, in the hour of prayer, probably
poured out more freely the gratitude, the repentance, the
blended feelings, and the glowing affections, by which they
were deeply aud most happily moved.

Long before her parents left their pillow, Maria had en-
tered her regular lodging, and was engaged in ber occupa-
tion. She had now attained the great point to which she
had long looked — that of providing a home for her parents ;
but when she reflected that the money which she had so
economically saved to that end hitherto, would yet barely
have sufficed for even their humblest maintenance, she saw
clearly that, if possible, she must extend her business, and
to that purpose increase her capital considerably. It was
painful to her to think of asking Mr. Elderton for money,
because she had reason to believe him to be at this time un-
provided; but yet something must be done, and she held
Ellen’s property sacred. It was the resource of Frank,
who was at this time still looking out for a situation as a
clerk or a traveller.

The old gentleman had called one evening to see Mr.
Faleoner in his new situation, for which friendly intercourse
it was well situated. All he saw, of course, tended to con-

firm the high opinion and the warm approbation he felt for
Maria; but his observations made him aware how she was
situated, and the next evening he sent to request that she
would come and make his coffee, and leave Mitchell to close
the warehouse by himself for once. |

“J went to see the good people last night,” said he, as she
entered, “and found your mother really looking better and
happier than I ever saw her. Falconer is certainly altered
sadly ; but he bustled about, and told me of fifty things he
was going to do for Maria, with as much ease as if he had
forgotten all le owed her in the way of reparation for
nkinduess, to say nothing of other debts.”

“Thank God! May he never, never remember it.”

“Well, well, you are a good girl, and a consistent one,
which is an extraordinary thing to say of any woman. 1
know less than some men, ’tis true; yet I have seen many
women capable of great generosity, and some few who
added to it persevering goodness, patience without end, and
fortitude that was really amazing; but they always liked a
little exhibition of their virtues, or a little parade of their
feelings: indeed, crying and speechifying are very natural
to us all, when we are touched in strong points; and how
you, Maria, who are naturally fluent, resist it on such trying
occasion, I know not.”

“I conceive it a positive duty to guard my poor father
(indeed, both my parents) from all excitement, and I never
have forgot the maxim you implanted, that duty is umpera-
tive.”

“Ay, ay, you’re a flatterer—sit down—well, before |
came out, Frank came in. I like that young man exceed-
ingly ; he paid great attention to me when I was unwell at
Frankfort. I wish to help him.”

“I wish you would,” said Maria, with a frankness that a
little surprised her auditor ; but he replied, —

“Well, then, hear my plan: I must either give up my
German business, or that which I engaged in after the peace
with America, and I think that much the more promising.”
DECISION. 95

« Probably it may, but I like Germany best.”

«So do I; but 1 have also connections of value in the
other, and 1 am certain it would answer for me to fix a
clever young man at Liverpool as my agent — but by rights
he should be my partner.”

«Take him —take Frank Ingalton — he is upright, active
__ jt will make his mother so happy ”

« Yes, that is all true; but it is not convenient for me to
find all the money, just now.”

“Nor do you need. Frank, to my knowledge, can imme-
diately produce a thousand pounds, and I have little doubt
but he could borrow another.”

« But I have; for these are stirring times, and every body
hereabouts is employing money for himself. But, I pray,
how comes he by the first, Maria ?”

«A prudent, amiable, good girl has it, who—I mean to
say, he may marry: in short, Mr. Elderton, between our-
selves, there is an attachment — and of course he wishes to
marry.”

“1 understand, my dear, and promise you that the second
thousand shall be forthcoming, and I will make him my
partner. Then I apprehend your mother has saved one
thousand pounds from the wreck of her fortune, and I re-
joice in it: you are well aware how much may be made
of it.”

“My mother sacrificed her last property to pay it, and
Ellen, thank God, has received it.”

« Ellen, say you ?— Ellen Powis?”

“ Yes, certainly ; it is she to whom Frank is engaged; she
is a noble, kind-hearted, generous girl — so generous, that she
brought it all to me, saying, ‘it would be well used by me
for the benefit of my parents ;’ and indeed so I think it might
be, for I now see my way clearly, and could indeed use it
well; but if you will thus accept of Frank and this little mod-
icum, all will be well, all happy, and I can still manage.”

Maria spoke with amazing rapidity, and her color varied
every moment, though she affected to smile away the min-


96 DECISION.

gled emotions which were unquestionably lacerating her
heart. The old gentleman saw through the disguise she
assumed, and the idea of her distress brought the tears into
his eyes ; but he, too, looked another Way, and succeeded in
saving the delicacy of a noble mind so singularly circum-
stanced from another wound, and it was finally agreed that
on the morrow he should make the proposal to young In-
galton, and act in every respect as his friend and father.

* But, then, Maria, this ties my hands with regard to you,
whom I certainly desire to help much more than the young
people in question.”

“You cannot, then, lend me fifty pounds ?”

“Yes, I can do that, undoubtedly; I can double that, but
what is it ?”

“O, a great deal of money in my little way. You know
mine is either a ready-money trade, or, at the most, a fort-
night’s credit, for I deal only with the poor. I turn the little
Ihave so quickly that I have great gains even on small
profits. I have no one to pay but Mitchell, and cost so little
myself that I hope to be able to maintain my parents even
with that. I ought to have no fears for the future, when I]
consider what the past has produced.”

“TI have no fears for your success, Maria, but many for
your health. You have been too careful, too anxious. |
must insist on your taking some wine, and shall send you
that which I know to be old and good. If you do not take
care of yourself, you neglect the most important of all duties
to your parents. ‘Tell me, my dear girl, that you will take
care of yourself.”

“T will obey you,” said Maria, “for you are going to oblige
me — perhaps to save me”
_ The suppressed struggle of her bosom would no longer
be concealed; she burst into an agony of tears, and wept
long and freely ; but when the passion had spent itself, she
repeatedly assured her worthy old friend, “ that she knew
she should soon get the better of all her weaknesses, and

«The Grecian Daughter,” cried the old man, as he shook
her hand; “ah! girl, she was a fool to you. But go away, or
you will make one of me. Depend upon it, [ will order
every thing in the manner you wish. [ will protect Frank,
reward Ellen, and leave you the glory of steering your own
little vessel through a rough sea into a safe haven. But, my
child, drink the Tent-wine I send you — promise me that.”

“Ido promise most religiously. I will endeavor to take
every thing that may sustain me in the path I must walk in.
The longer I travel, the less rugged shall I find it.”

CHAPTER XI.

Norurne could be more true than the assertion made by
Maria at the close of our last chapter; for the bustle in
which she was compelled to engage the early part of the
day, the recollections and accounts which occupied the
latter part of it, the contrivance how to seize a few hours of
evening holiday with her parents, and how to spare from
her daily-increasing business the ready money which would
supply the wants of the house, and the little improvements
in which she delightedly beheld her father engage, most
happily prevented her from dwelling much on that subject
from which alone she shrank in dismay.

The unbending resolution she had evinced to renounce
all company which interfered with her pursuit, to engage in
no possible expenditure that could be avoided, together with
the distance of her present residence from the house of Sir
James Trevannion, formed an excuse that was consistent
with her plan and her character, when entreated to be the
bridemaid of Ellen; to whom she also pointed out the cir-
cumstance, that it would be desirable to take that opportu-
nity of introducing Emily Ingalton to the notice of a family,
who might hereafter greatly benefit her mother in the plan
she had so wisely adopted.

“True,” said Ellen, “ but indeed you think for us all. Itold
my dear Frank I should not wonder if you were in fact the
mover of all Mr. Elderton’s kindness: you have done every
thing right except refusing my money —that was surely
wrong.”

“Yet from that error springs your present happiness: let
DECISION. . 99

the remembrance of that, Ellen, teach you the value of mon-
ey, of which you can as yet form little idea. You are older
than I thirteen months; but that period spent in this place
has made me much your senior in knowledge. Remember
you must not expect to live as you did either in my father’s
house or the baronet’s, and that you must supply to yourself
in the love of your husband and the consciousness of your
utility, those indulgences to which you are accustomed, and
the exercise of those accomplishments you may probably be
seldom called on to display.”

« But, dear Maria, Frank cannot expect me to be a good
housekeeper ! ”

“Yes he can, and depend upon it he will; for every man
who labors for the support of a family soon becomes inquis- °
itive as to the disposal of his gains, unless he is an idiot;
and every woman will soon render herself adequate to her
duties as a wife, unless she is one. I expect this of you, I
demand it of you, as the friend of — of my friend Frank.”

“ Dear Maria, you cannot doubt my entire love, my perfect
esteem, for the excellent young man to whom I am about to
be united; nor that, with the example of such a woman as
your excellent mother before my eyes, I should be ignorant
of my duties as a wife.”

«J doubt not your purity of intention, Ellen, but I am
anxious that you should attain the knowledge by which in-
tention secures its object — anxious that your disinterested
affection (for such it certainly is) should really secure all the
good to you both which it ought to effect: pardon me, dear
Ellen, if I speak hastily. 1 have been obliged to associate
with the vulgar, and to assume airs of command, but re-
member my words — they are offered in love.”

« Love — O, yes, Maria, the purest, warmest love; I know
your heart, and every kind feeling that actuates it; I do, in-
deed.”

Maria hoped not, but the appearance of Frank at this
moment made her color rush into her cheeks, and recede as
quickly. .
100 DECISION.

“Maria has been lecturing me as if she were my grand-
mother,” said Ellen.

“She is always good and wise,” observed the young man ;
but he perceived that her heart was too deeply affected for
conversation, and soon bade her adieu, attributing the emo-
tion she was ill able to suppress to the parting with Ellen,
who on her part wept with all the fondness of a child, even
after she had taken the arm of him on whom she fondly
leaned, and who, on the following day, was united to her
for life.

The new-married couple set out immediately for their
future residence —a circumstance particularly agreeable to
Maria, who had dreaded more than she had occasion to do
the effect of their marriage on her own feelings. When all
was over, she was able to endure details better than she
expected, and she even agreed to give Lady Trevannion the
meeting at her father’s house, under the persuasion that it
would be really the finishing portion of that pain the repe-
tition of the wedding particulars would inflict.

Happily this trial of her feelings was spared, and she was
enabled also to achieve a deed of great magnitude to those
whom it benefited. Lady Trevannion and her worthy lord,
although surprised by the extraordinary resolution and the
persevering firmness Maria had evinced, and shocked with
the painful situation of a family they esteemed highly, never
for a moment condemned the conduct of Maria in her
choice of so singular a medium of assisting them. They
considered trade in every shape irreconcilable with the hab-
its of a gentleman, and thought that when he had once
stooped to engage in it, or been driven, from his circum-
stances, to do so, nothing could be more ridiculous than
condemning any particular mode by which help was to be
obtained; and they thought it but natural that a young
woman of Maria’s birth and education should better endure
to precipitate herself at once into all the evils of a great
change, than to accept any dependence which continually
reminded her of the home she had lost: a spirit like hers


DECISION. 101

was more calculated to endure a violent wrench, than a
slow-wearing, soul-frittering torture.

After their first salutations had passed, Lady Trevannion
began to speak of the great loss she experienced in Ellen,
and eagerly inquired, “ if Emily Ingalton would be able to
supply her place, for she was much struck with her.”

« Unquestionably she is upright, amiable, and accom-
plished, but she cannot leave her mother, who is at this
very time endeavoring to open a boarding-school.”

« But she has three daughters — she could spare one.”

“ Not the eldest, on whom she must depend as a teacher ;
the second is very clever, but her education is incomplete,
and she is too young to be left alone with children; and I
understand from Mrs. Francis — from Ellen, that you and
Sir James are going to Italy.”

«“ We wish to do so exceedingly, but this unlucky marriage
has deranged all our plans: our little girls are too young to
travel ; the boy is still younger, you will say, but to take
him is our principal object; for though not ill, he is ex-
tremely delicate, and a mild climate we think would prove
restorative to him.”

«J have thought much about him, dear lamb!” said Maria,
“and am quite certain the best thing you could do would
be to leave your daughters with Mrs. Ingalton, who would
be to them a tender and judicious mother, and whose cares
might be aided by mine also. | would take her second daugh-
ter, (my name-sake,) as a governess to your son, to whom
her gayety and good temper would be still more valuable
than her instructions, and who, by that means, would gain
such knowledge of Italian and music as to make her a most
valuable governess to his sisters when you return: the dear
little girls are so young, that you can have no fears for their
manners, or their attachments with plebeian school-fellows ;
and your confidence in Mrs. Ingalton will unquestionably
give her importance in the eyes of all our wealthy inhabit-
ants, many of whom are, in truth, persons of enlightened
minds, and of the highest character.”

“A Daniel, a second Daniel,” cried Sir James, “in ber
Whole contrivance ; how comes it, Maria, that thou art so
much older than thy years ?”

“fam the child of very young parents,” said Maria in a
low voice. “Ihave been compelled to think, perhaps pre-
maturely; and from being in the habit of cogitating, think
not only for myself, but all I have a regard for.”

“You have thought well for us, I am certain,” said the
lady, “and we shall lose not a day in seeing Mrs. Ingalton
on the subject: she is a sweet woman, very lady-like, cer-
tainly. JI never saw her at your house without wondering
what star dropped her into B ‘g

A few days settled this arrangement, and it was followed
by all the suecess which Maria predicted, so that the general
good fortune of the whole family of the Ingaltons might
be considered as established; and so much did the long-
oppressed spirits of the widow rise, from the relief she expe-
rienced, that Maria could have no doubt that she would
prove fully equal to the multifarious but endearing duties
demanded by her situation.

Maria was sensibly relieved by every circumstance which
assisted those she loved, and she now pleased herself with
the idea that the happiness of Frank would henceforward
constitute hers — a sentimeut which generally tells better in
theory than practice ; and although she might at times im-
pute the degree of recovered health and spirits she now
enjoyed to that cause, those who are better versed in the
usual operations of the heart under similar circumstances
would have imputed it to that happy diversion from such a
subject of ‘thought which other cares suggested. By de-
grees she thought more on Ellen than Frank; the letters
she had once trembled to behold lost their power of
troubling her; and the daily mortification she experienced
in not being able to extend her business, from the deficiency
of capital, and the weekly appropriation of all her profits,
became fhe only mortification under which her spirits were

bent.


DECISION. 103

One forenoon, when engaged to the height in business,
portioning out a steck far too small for the demand, she
looked a litthe beyond her dark circle of smoke-begrimed
customers, and saw with much surprise, and some sense of
that dismay inevitable to her sex in such a moment, Sir
James Trevannion :— yes! even Maria (heroine as she was)
slipped off her black gloves and brown apron, and broke
nimbly through her customers to beckon him into her little
sanctum — the counting-house.

“TI came to drive you home with me, Maria —to break the
laws of the Medes and Persians by taking you for a very
few hours to the Park. We leave England to-morrow — at
least we leave home for our long journey; you will wish
to kiss our little man once more, I am certain.”

“QO, yes! but I must not obey my wishes.”

“Surely you may; your day’s labor is nearly closed:
come, come, don’t mistake obstinacy for firmness.”

“I would go, certainly, but I cannot dress.”

This was overruled, and she soon found herself once
more in the house where she had finally formed the resolu-
tion, and decided on the most momentous action of her
existence — the house where her heart had experienced the
severest shock it had ever known, or, as she believed, could
ever know; and the memory of these events was much too
fresh for her to see it with calmness, though she appeared
but little affected.

“T have brought Maria purely to bid you farewell, my
dear, and have not said one word on the subject of which
we spoke,” said Sir James to his lady.

“Then I must give you both great credit — Maria for a
proof of her affection I ought to esteem highly, and you for
self-command on a trying subject. He has been thinking
about you,and you only, my dear, every hour since we fixed
on departing.”

“It is very true, Maria; I wish to lend you two thousand
pounds, which have lately fallen into my hands, and must
be secured somewhere.”
104 DECISION.

“ But I have no security to offer you. Iam not even of
age till the thirteenth of next month.”

“] know it, my dear, and have given my steward orders to
pay it into your hands the day after.”

“'Thank you —thank you — Heaven bless you for it —I
know I can use it well.”

“Tam sure you will use it well and wisely,” said Sir
James, as he ratified the bargain with a fatherly kiss.

The entrance of the child restored tranquillity to the
happy party, and so pleasantly passed the few hours of her
stay, that she did not hesitate to promise that, on their
return, whatever might be her engagements, gratitude and
affection would lead her occasionally to visit them; and she
departed under an impression so different from that she had
experienced as she last drove from the same door (although
she was now weeping) that her heart ascended to Heaven in
thankful adoration for the change.

It will readily be believed that Maria lost no time in tell-
ing Mr. Elderton of the loan she was about to receive, which
greatly rejoiced him, as he could now introduce her to his
German connections, and instruct her in the general con-
duct of business, the choice of goods, the demands of various
markets, expenses of freightage, duties, discounts, and all
other necessary knowledge. ‘To all it might be said truly,
his young pupil “did seriously incline,” and so much were
her mind and her time engaged, it was indeed happy that
she had previously gained an accession of health and
strength for an occasion which demanded so much,

Mr. Elderton’s prospects of Maria’s success in this new
and enlarged sphere of action arose in a great measure from
the knowledge which he knew she possessed of the French
and German languages, both of which he had endeavored
ever since his return to impress upon her mind the necessity
for exercising. She was now placed in commodious prem-
ises, became a considerable purchaser of goods, and had
accommodation given her, as to credit, so extensive, as to
prove beyond all doubt the high estimation in which she
DECISION. 105

was held, at this period, by those who had seen her first step
with surprise, and her perseverance with admiration. F"lat-
tering as her prospects were, not even the representations of
Mr. Elderton could induce her to renounce the business in
which she had been so successful, and from which she was
aware of her usefulness to many. “I consider it,” said she,
“as a certain fund for supplying the demands of the Cottage,
and it is my determination to keep it expressly as a certain
though small supply for my mother’s weekly expenses.
The profits of my mercantile concern must in the first few
years be honestly amassed to repay Sir James; all which I can
conscientiously deduct from this deposit shall be applied to
my father’s improvements ; should little delays arise, it will
only quicken his invention, and employ his mind to supply
the deficiency.”

By a wise distribution of time, Maria was enabled to
give three hours every day to her former occupation, in
which she always received those industrious men whose
custom she was desirous of retaining; and although two or
three persons had now foilowed an example evidently so
beneficial, and her former warehouse was again occupied in
the same manner, yet all the most respectable part followed
her. Her extreme care in weighing, or seeing the iron
weighed, the nicety of her calculations, (which were those
of even-handed justice,) though complained of in the begin-
ning of her career, were now extremely grateful; for all had
seen, long ere now, that it was part of a rigid but wise sys-
tem, which in business neither gave nor accepted favor; but
all by turns had found, either in themselves or others, that
she who thus steadily pursued it, had a heart that felt for all
—a hand

“Open as day to melting charity.”

When Mr. Falconer found his daughter thus eligibly sit-
uated, he ventured once more to walk through the town,
which he had never done before since that awful period to
which even now he could not bear to revert, (little as were
106 DECISION.

his pecuniary deficiencies.) When Maria saw him enter her
counting-house, bringing her a bunch of her favorite flowers,
and bearing, in his recovered bulk and ruddy complexion,
proof how much their cultivation (or rather her kindness) had
renovated his life, she stepped from her high seat to wel-
come him, and accept his fragrant gift, with a sweetness and
grace such as reminded him of former days; and a pang
would mingle even with the pleasure her presence never
failed to inspire.

“ Do I find you alone, my dear, at this busy time ?”

“ Only for an hour; my people are all gone to dinner.”

“Can you give me no employment, my dear? Although
1 have been rusticating so long, yet I should be glad of any
thing to do.”

“You are unfortunately too old, and too young,” said
Maria, laughing. “I have no men about me that are not
turned of fifty, save the two boys below, who are scarcely
fifteen. I consider this place a kind of receptacle for in-
valids —a corps of the superannuated. Every head about
me must boast a sober bob-wig, save Mynheer Myeris, who
is privileged to wear a bag, because he never approaches
the place but in a dress suit, and always bows to me as low
as if I were the stadtholder.”

“ But, my dear, surely my presence here ” —

“ Would be destructive, dear papa, of my importance.
Here [ sit on my throne, Empress of uncounted reams,
Queen of the legers, Generalissima of the invoices, Am-
bassadress to many nations—a plenipotentiary for secret
despatches, with potential power for open negotiation, Tam
as infallible as the Pope, as despotic as the Grand Turk, and
as approachable as a British King. I pass the bills like the
Lords, raise supplies like the Commons, but unlike them am
free from all opposition—and that you certainly would
bring me.”

“Not I, child, indeed — you are very critically situated,
Maria ; you are very young, very handsome.”

« That I deny: this sombre habit, ancient hat, and winged


DECISION. 107

cap, (my everlasting costume,) render all uneasiness on that
subject unnecessary; the hearts of my surrounding beaux
call only for veneration, and my numerous correspondents
__¢'T'o Mrs. Maria Falconer, these ’— never dream of em-
bargoes on their hearts.”

«It isnot a subject for jesting, my dear; your mother is
perpetually speaking of it, and happy as we certainly are at
the Cottage, (since I have brought it into decent order, and
put every thing en train,) she yet is desirous that I should in
some way devote myself to you.”

«Then, dear father, accept you most thankfully as my
escort to Germany, where indeed I ought to have gone long
ago; but I knew not how to take you from my mother, at a
time when she enjoys your society in such peace and con-
tentedness as she never knew before.”

This journey was taken most successfully, and included
Holland and Flanders. Every where she was well received
as the suecessor of Mr. Elderton ; and her extreme exactness
and attention to minutie —the regularity and punctuality
she observed with respect to time — her care in the interpret-
ation of all commissions, and even her moderation in per-
sonal expenses — were all strong recommendations in her
favor to the careful, plodding Dutchmen; nor were even
they perhaps insensible to the pleasure of talking over a
barren subject with a woman so young and so lovely, and
whose convenient dress was not inelegant in their eyes.

On her return from this expedition, she learned, with great
surprise and some trifling sensation of alarm, that Mr. and
Mrs. Francis Ingalton, with their two lovely children, were
in B ,and impatient to see her. “ Indeed,” said Mrs. Fal-
coner, “they mean to be governed entirely by your advice,
my dear Maria.”

“In what respect, pray ?” |

« Poor John Ingalton is dead in the East Indies, and has
left very considerable property, and a connection of the
greatest importance, which it would be well if’ Frank could
step into; but he hesitates on account of Mr. Elderton, who,


108 DECISION,

may be inconvenienced by any unlooked-for change, and
whose great kindness to him in the day of his distress dee
mands some sacrifice.”

“T will undertake to settle that for him; the world has
plenty of people ready to step into good things, if they are
properly sought for. It is a duty Frank owes to himself
and all his family, to go over, and I am certain his pretty
wife will do honor to the land of palanquins and silver
musling. How does she look? How do her matron cares
sit upon her ?”

“ Admirably! but she is much troubled about the chil-
dren. Frank is three years old, (how time flies!) and to take
him would be a pity, as he ought soon to go to school, you
know ; and his grandmother can do nothing with him, be-
cause he is a boy.”

“ But could not you do with him, dear mother? Is he like
his parents ?”

“ Very like his father: he has his fine, mild, dark eye,
and his thoughtful, examining countenance. You will see
him in the morning, for Mrs. Ingalton could not accommo-
date them all, so Frank and the maid sleep here.”

When Maria retired, she visited the bed where the urchin
lay, and, throwing off her hat, approached on tiptoe to look
at him. ‘There were indeed those features never to be for-
gotten, more soft and beautiful than she had beheld them
before ; she stooped to take a kiss of those rosy lips, and his
eyes opened, (those lovely eyes,) the light dazzled them, and
putting out his hands, he said, “ Ah, mamma, are you here ?”

“T am not mamma, my pretty fellow,” said Maria, her
heart beating quick and painfully as she added, internally,
“No! never must | be thus hailed, never.” “I remember
now, you are Mrs. Falconer. I love you next to mamma.”

With these words, again the bright orbs closed, and the
unconscious prattler sank to repose; but he awakened an
emotion in the heart of Maria that banished sleep, and se-
cured to him a friend for life.

The following morning the whole party arrived, impatient

to see the travellers, and the friends were soon locked in
each other’s arms; Maria returning the pressure of Ellen, at
this period, with more than equal warmth. She was, to her
own sincere joy and surprise, able to meet Mr. Ingalton
without the slightest pain or confusion, and discuss with
him the momentous subject of his removal, which she
strongly recommended,

« But can you prevail on Ellen, Miss Falconer ? ”

«Ellen has much less pretext than you for objection,
since you leave a mother, (the strongest tie in life, accord-
ing to my estimation,) besides sisters, who, being fatherless,
look to you for parental protection. Ellen has only you to
claim her attention; she takes her world with ber.”

«How can you say so, Maria, when I leave you behind ?
Our parting has not been long enough to wear away my
affection, whatever it may have done with yours.”

« Ellen, we love each other dearly, and I firmly believe
rouch better than many female friends in novels ever did ;
but we are each irrevocably tied to objects who are, and
must be, of infinitely more personal consequence to each
of us than the other can be; so do not let us increase the
pain of parting by adverting to it. Our intercourse will be
only a little more delayed than it has been; it will not be
less affectionate.”

“« Well, I grant, if ever woman ought to go cheerfully over
the wide world with her husband, it is I,” said Ellen; “for
Frank has been to me the most indulgent, tender, attentive —
Where are you going, Maria? O, here comes my boy.
Dear fellow! bow can I leave such a child as this? what can
I do without him ?”

«You will manage very well,” said Mrs. Falconer, “my
dear, by and by, when the baby supplies his place, and the.
next supplies hers.”

“My mother will take charge of little Frank,” said Maria ;.
and as she spoke a deep blush suffused her countenance,
which was increased as the father warmly, gratefully

thanked her, and, placing the blooming boy in her arms, told
‘him to thank her.

“fam too busy,” said Maria, “to affect taking charge of .
him myself, but certainly I —I love children.”

“ You will love him for his own sake,” said Ellen ; “and I
‘know, if that were not the case, you would love him for
mine. ‘Thank you, Maria, a thousand times, 1 will now say
no more of objections. Pardon me, my love, that I have
harassed you by saying so much; but lam a spoiled child
anyself.”

“Al!” thought Maria, “how different has been your lot
cand mine! Humbly born, your father, by industry and
economy, scraped up for you a little dower, which, wisely
and happily bestowed, places you in a situation which com-
amands all the best blessings of life. You have realized the
‘dearest gift wealth can bestow, by benefiting the husband
you loved. Yet were you chosen by a heart as generous and
disinterested as your own: care has never turned your
-downy pillow into stone, sorrow and shame never blighted
‘the rose on your cheek, or disappointment planted her thorn
in your heart. Increasing prosperity is before you, the arms
of connubial love protect you, the smiles of infant fondness
‘delight you. Well, thank God for it. Had it been other-
wise, I should have felt bitter grief, my sweet Ellen, for the
sufferings of ‘thy artless, generous heart.”

CHAPTER XIIL

Ir had frequently struck Maria that it was a great pity
that Mr. Elderton had no connections by whom his ad-
vancing age might be cheered, or his personal comforts
attended to. She knew he had been the only son of his
mother, but thought his father bad had other children, and
therefore most probably there were descendants somewhere
who might supply to him the child she had long thought his
situation required. Every other person in the circle of
their acquaintance conceived that she was herself “as a
daughter.”

When therefore she waited upon him in pursuance of her
promise to the Ingaltons, after his warm congratulations on
her return were passed, she spoke highly of all she had seen
in Germany, and the reception she had met with, saying, “I
think your mother, sir, was from Frankfort on the Maine ;
tis a lovely country.”

“Yes, my dear, it is; and my mother was worthy of it.
She was an excellent creature; but, like many other excel-
lent women in her situation, she was not esteemed as she
deserved to be.”

“ Save by a good son. I am sure she was happy in you.”

“JI trust she was, Maria, for I loved her so well as to
renounce all other ties for her sake ; and it is my solace in
many a lonely hour to believe that her latter days were made
so happy as to atone for the former. We were indeed almost
romantically attached, I may say, for never were mother and
son more completely moved by the same principles, ani-
mated by the same affections, influenced by the same taste.
12 DECISION.

Early sympathy in her sufferings, and the necessity of
laboring to supply our mutual wants, rendered me, to a cer-
tain degree, an old man early in life; and there is in your sex
a happy spring of spirits and flow of imagination, which
preserves youth in the mind long after it leaves the face ; so
that each, as it were, bent to meet the other’s wants, and
few unions have been more productive of felicity. I lost her
about the time when your father settled in this neighborhood,
and can truly say that you were the first human being who
awoke in me any interest after that terrible event, and are
nearly the only one that has preserved the same feeling.”

“'Then you have no relations, my dear sir ? ”

“Yes, I have: my mother married a widower who had
a son, and two daughters, one of whom, after a life of much
suffering, died single —the other married and went to
America: they used my poor mother very ill, detested her
as a mother-in-law, ridiculed her as a foreigner, termed her
Wise economy meanness, her liberality extravagance ; and all
I can recollect of early life reminds me of treatment which
seemed to mark us as ‘a bondwoman and her son.’ — It is
true, James fought our battles; he was, I think, a very good
fellow, but I remember little of him; he left us when I was
young.”

“ And had James no child?”

“He left a daughter who had daughters — poor things!
they are orphans, I believe, now, and not well provided for,
though my father impoverished me, to help his eldest son,
very unjustly.”

“ Never mind that — inquire for them.”

“They are not poor, Maria; had that been the case, it
would have been my duty to inquire more. By the way, I
believe one is Jately married at Liverpool. I will get Ingal-
ton to inquire after her. It was a very old correspondent
who mentioned it to me.”

The news of Ingalton’s removal, and this inquiry, led
eventually to placing the young man in question in the situ-
ation which secured him early competency and eventual

.
DECISION. 113

wealth ; and the same channel eventually placed the unmar-
ried great niece of Mr. Elderton at the head of his establish-
ment —to her great satisfaction and his increased comfort: al!
were happily settled before the travellers were ready to sail.

When at length they departed, the trial was very severe
to Maria, though the late daily intercourse she had held with
them convinced her that the affection which had been the
source of so much severe pain, mortification, and dejection,
was, as to all these effects, completely passed away. Yet
she felt an interest in the future welfare of the couple (as
united) of the strongest description ; and that tender regard .
for Ellen which had been in a certain degree changed, o1
at least blended with contradictory emotions, now resumed
its warmest form, and was even increased by the solicitude
naturally felt for one so situated.

When they had actually sailed, Maria entered with reno-
vated vigilance into the various duties of her situation, and
presented to the observant eye decided proof of how much
woman is capable, in the exact distribution of her time; the
knowledge and acumen she displayed in al] her matters of
business; the nice calculation of her own strength of capital
in all temptations of speculation, maintaining at once the
firmness of unbending integrity and the proper confidence
which results from skill and consideration; the womanish
exactness prevalent in every department of her concerns,
extensive as they were now become; the firmness with
which she resisted all encroachments, met all difficulties, and
continued to resist all temptations to relax her efforts, even
in cases most tempting to her taste and disposition, and
which appeared fully warranted by the prosperity she evi-
dently enjoyed. When urged on this point, she invariably
answered, “I know my own power of exertion, and I dare:
not give way in any point, lest it should incapacitate me in:
all. Ihave debts to repay, a fortune to secure, which shall:
place the old age of my parents beyond the reach of acci--
dent. I seek only to secure this; riches I do not desire ;:
and therefore if 1‘make hay while the sun shines,’ I may

reasonably hope to retire whilst my mind still retains its
early relish for literature, music, and every source of mental
enjoyment which gives polished life its charm. If you knew
how much it costs me to become thus wound up to my
object, you would consider it a sin to tempt me from my
purpose.”

‘Those who had thus tried were the more willing to desist,
from perceiving that heaJth and spirits, and even her per-
sonal beauty, were at this period perhaps in greater perfection
than they had ever been. With the sombre dress which its
great convenience still induced her to use constantly in the
counting-house, and at her lodgings in B » She also
changed the manners which appertained to it; and the few
evenings which she allowed herself with her parents, saw
her resume all the playfulness of her girlish days. With
them she felt that she might unbend safely — since their very
presence, and the delight they evinced, served to remind her
of the necessity and the value of her continued services, and
were at once her stimulant and her reward — the incentives
and sweeteners of her toil.



- ~~ Her Sabbaths were constantly spent with her parents, and

‘never was devotion perhaps more pure than that offered up
by a family so united and so singularly situated. The
‘church which they’ frequented was at some distance from
‘the town, and part of its congregation consisted of retired
‘tradesmen who had secured fortunes, and were spending the
‘latter end of life in ease, and training their sons for country
gentlemen, or the learned professions, —and the younger
‘class, it nay be supposed, did not see Maria unmoved. Vari-
‘ous advances, direct and indirect, were made to her father,
which he always reported to his daughter with all that faith-
ful disinterestedness which formed a prominent part of his
‘character; and there were even times when both parents en-
‘treated her to consider and weigh the merits of the parties.
To all such entreaties Maria turned either a deaf ear, or
iparried the attack jestingly, but firmly — though there were
times when a tear would start into her eye, as she caught
DECISION. 115

her mother’s hand, and said, “ Have I not married you ? taken
you to halve and to hold, &c., till death do us part: we are
go joinedsthat man will not sunder us, depend upon it.”

Yet the time did come when Maria ceased to make strong
assertions — when she was again very thoughtful ; and al-
though she spent the usual hours in the counting-house and
warehouse,,.yet it was observed by ber ancient assistants that
her pen no longer moved like that of a ready writer, that
her eye wandered listlessly over piles of goods, and vellum-
bound repositories of secrets, without betraying interest in
either.

For this abstraction, which, however trifling in itself, was
remarkable in Maria, we will endeavor to account.

Count Frederic Hernhausen, a German nobleman, was
accommodated by a mercantile house in Leipsic with letters
of introduction to their correspondent, Mrs. Maria Falconer,
as the best medium of obtaining the money he might have
occasion for during a tour in England, and of facilitating
his examination of the manufactories of B »which (with
the inquiring mind generally found in his countrymen) con-
stituted a very principal object in his travels.

England was the last country the count visited, yet he
spoke the language very tolerably, was well acquainted with
its history, laws, institutions, and commerce, and felt for it
that decided preference which arises from a union of ap-
probation and esteem, with a sense of early predilection on
the score of national relationship. He had visited every
place in Europe generally deemed most interesting, but al-
ways reserved the Island of Great Britain as the last, best
object of his attention, the crowning curiosity which should
satisfy his mind, and enable him to sit down for the rest of
his life in the castle of his ancestors, and dispense to his de-
pendants the result of the knowledge gleaned from his ob-
servations, with that liberality and benevolence which were
natural to his own disposition, and which their patriotic
emperor was at this period diffusing through every part of
his dominions. |


116 DECISION.

The count had been suddenly called from Na
a year before this time, in consequence of the il
father, and had the melancholy satisfaction of r
last breath. After arranging his affairs and |
mother in the care of his only sister, who was lately ‘married, .
he resumed his plan of travel for one year more. During —
his abode in Italy, he had become intimate with Sir
James Trevannion; and, as that family had* tonsiderably
exceeded their original term of stay, he was in hopes that
he should find them at home; but they had not yet arrived, °
although constantly expected, and prepared for by their
domestics.

Frederic Hernhausen was tall, graceful, aid handsome ;
his countenance possessed all the best characteristics of his
country — intelligence, simplicity, ingenuousness, and hon-
esty: he had full, beaming, blue eyes, a finely-formed, dim-
pling mouth, and that high, polished brow which denotes
the power of thought, and gives the expression of lofty and
soul-ennobling feelings. He had just entered his thirty-first
year; and the expression of his features, (altered, as they
lately had been, by severe sorrow for the loss of his worthy
and most beloved parent,) aided by dark, curling hair and
whiskers, bespoke the manly character befitting his age;
but his complexion was still of the fair and finely-tinted hue
peculiar to the Saxons. He was so tall, and appeared to
such striking advantage in his person, when he first entered
the counting-house of Maria, surrounded by the bowed
forms and withered faces of her somewhat decrepit coterie,
that she involuntarily rose and advanced a few steps towards
him.

In doing this her warehouse costume displayed her person
to the utmost possible disadvantuge, and, of course, made
her look so much older, as to accord with the count’s pre-
conceived notion, that the female merchant in question
resembled the wives of those squat traders in Amsterdam,
who partake the toils of their husbands. When she looked

up, and thereby revealed a small portion of the lower part




DECISION. 117

of her face, (fof the beavers of that day were indeed extin-
guishers,) he felt strprised that the good woman should
have retained such a youthful look, in the midst of such a
smoky town, and in pursuits which are generally deemed
injurious to health : the fact was worthy of record.

‘The cash part of their intercourse was readily settled, and,
with very few words on the part of Maria, whose taciturnity,
as a woman of business, was strongly contrasted with those
powers of conversation, and that playful badinage, which she
exercised in the hours of relaxation. Yet, when it was over,
the stranger still lingered, for he was struck with the sweet-
ness of a voice which, he had understood, belonged to one
who had visited his native country, and could sjeak the
Janguage: besides, she was now employed in reading a sec-
ond Jetter from a person who had sought to interest her in
the visits of which we spoke.

When Maria laid this down, she addressed him in Ger
man, having understood from her last correspondent that his
knowledge of English was very bounded ; and, after lament-
ing her inability to assist him on that dey, informed him,
“that her father would, she doubted not, have the pleasure
of accompanying him, on the morrow, to any manufactories
worthy of his attention.”

The sound of his native tongue “in a strange land,”
spoken elegantly and fluently, by one who was evidently a
gentlewoman, fell pleasantly and soothingly on the ear, and
the count could not forbear to advert to her travels in Ger-
many ; nor could she, in the first instance, relinquish the
pleasure of holding conversation with a companion so supe-
rior to those which circumstances usually drew to the scene
of her labors. The interruption given to their conversation
by a necessary question from one of her clerks, called her
to a recollection of other circumstances, and she again be-
came taciturn and busy. The count, of course, departed.

No mission could have been more welcome to Mr. Fal
coner than that which, on this evening, she walked over to
deliver. He had been pleased with all he saw, and gratified
118 DECISION.

by the attention he had received in Germany; and at this
time he could not only meet every man in B without
the consciousness of owing them any thing, but in every
manufactory he was sure to receive all the attention interest _
prompted, as due to his daughter. Moreover, he loved ‘to
converse, as a gentleman, with a gentleman—a _ pleasure
from which, poor man! he had been self-debarred for many
years, but to which, of late, he had looked with a regret un-
felt during the bustle of active life, but deemed of moment
at that season, when we all look back to our early impres-
sions and avocations with affectionate remembrance and re-
newed preference.

The appearance of Mr. Falconer was (considering the
difference in their age) not less prepossessing than that of
his young companion; and the characteristic frankness of
our Irish descendant from a noble race did not permit the
count to remain long in ignorance of those particulars
which placed them on equality in a point which their
respective countries deem so essential. The appearance
and the employment of Maria alone puzzled Hernhausen:
for a short time he thought this must be her elder brother ;
but the word daughter, emphatically pronounced, and a
nearer look into the face, which displayed not only the
marking of years, but of sorrows, undeceived him, and he
observed internally, “ This man married in his childhood,
undoubtedly, and has, probably, entailed the penalty of his
folly on his offspring.”

The day, however, passed pleasantly — the morrow not
less so, for it was closed at the Elm Cottage, where the
stranger found in Mrs. Falconer a younger woman than he
had conceived her daughter to be: he had understood that
this daughter occasionally slept there, and he staid almost
longer than politeness warranted, in the hope of her appear-
ance, but she did not come: a second and a third visit were
not more successful.

Maria was, indeed, much engaged at this period: she had
earned that a certain property adjoining the estate of Sir


DECISION. 119

James Trevannion was on sale, and, being aware that it
would be extremely valuable to him on various accounts,
was desirous of purchasing it — happy that she could at once
repay ber debt, and prove towards a family she so highly
esteemed, that activity of friendship for which so many had
eause to thank her. This business for some days threw the
handsome German completely into the back-ground, and he
would have been in danger of being entirely forgotten, if
the following Sunday had not restored hin to her memory,
through the conversation of her parents, who were alike
warm in his praise, and could speak of nothing but “the
elegant, the virtuous count ; who, they were assured, was
the best of sons, of masters, and of men.”

«He is now gone to Wales,” said Mr. Falconer; “ but he
will be back in about two months, and I hope you will then,
my dear Maria, be able to see more of him, for he is pre-
cisely the man whose society would delight you. He has
studied the fine arts at the fountain-head, and his mind is
embued with all their beauty, and endowed with that per-
ception of all that is excellent in genius, which may be said
+o constitute much of its own divine essence. His acquire-
ments in literature to me appear prodigious; and allowing
that my own different pursuits prevent me from accurate
judgment, yet 1 am certainly not far wrong in estimating
them very highly ; with all this he is the most unpretending
and modest of human beings; is he uot, my dear?”

“ Yes,” observed Mrs. Falconer; “ he is indeed all, and
more than all you have described him; he reminds me of
Lord Littleton’s praise of his beloved Lucy, —

é Polite, as all his life in courts had been,
And good, as he the world had never seen.’ ”’

« It seems strange to me that, with so much goodness, he
left his widowed mother; but allow me to tell you of the
purchase 1 have so happily secured for the Trevannions,
und the not less pleasant circumstance of their arrival in
England, so that we may now depend on seeing them soon,”
said Maria.
120 DECISION.

Mr. and Mrs. Falconer listened to their daughter’s details
with great interest, and heard (not with unmoistened cheeks,
and hearts that rose in gratitude to Heaven) that she had
expended more than three thousand pounds without dis-
tressing herself, and had little doubt but that other loans, for
which she had been indebted to other friends, would soon
be liquidated —a point to which they well knew she was
always anxiously looking. Still, from time to time, they
reverted to the late visitant, who had evidently left an im-
pression on their minds, alike the result of esteem and ad-
miration. ‘The easy terms on which he soon found himself
with Mr. Falconer, had (in opening his heart, and displaying
its present feelings and past pursuits) comprised the prog-
ress of years in days, and laid the foundation of a sincere
and permanent regard.

In due course the friendly baronet and his family were
reassembled in their own mansion; they brought back their
son, and an additional little brother, in high health, and had
the satisfaction of finding their daughters greatly improved,
and to see that Mrs. Ingalton considered her daughter not
less so. They found that the welfare of their children had
not only been constantly attended to by Mrs. Falconer, but
that Maria had found time to inspect their progress, and
satisfy herself that every duty was properly discharged
towards them, For this and her late improvement of their
property they were truly thankful, and they rejoiced in the
prosperity which had evidently crowned her endeavors, not
only with sincerity, but pride, as materially originating in
themselves.

Maria hastened, on their first arrival, to welcome them
with that warm gratulation on their return, which she really
felt, and also to deposit the necessary writings in the hands
of Sir James, who pressed her to accept of any money re-
quisite for the continuance and extension of her business.
Her visit was, however, short, but she promised to fulfil her
past agreement, and to spend an evening there with her
parents the latter end of the following week.
DECISION. 12t

« And you will put on a gown, and look like other people,
my dear?” said Lady Trevannion.

« Undoubtedly —I do so every Sunday now; but were |
seen within the town in any other apparel than this, my
identity would be forfeited. It would undoubtedly either
bring all my creditors upon me, as indicating an utter change
in my affairs, or subject me to suffering under a statute of
lunacy.”

«For all that, before you are three months older, | will
model you anew, depend upon it.”

« Not unless you either give me positive independence, or
a dozen years of age: in either case I will bid adieu to the
business and the uniform; at present I know both for my
friends, and deem them inseparable.

‘ What have I with dress to do?
Ladies gay, ’twas made for you.’ ” —

Although the manner in which this was said inspired
Lady Trevannion with the idea that her request would not
be complied with,—to her great satisfaction, when the
evening arrived, Maria appeared in a very elegant and be-
coming dress; and her beautiful hair, according to the
fashion of that day, flowing in ringlets down her back,
dressed in light curls before, and merely confined by a sim-
ple bandeau. Some branches of the Birchett family, two
young ladies their visitors, and an Italian gentleman, with
some officers then staying at B——, constituted the party ;
and as many of them were musical, it was proposed by Lady
Trevannion that, on removing to the drawing-room, they:
would make a little concert.

“It will be a great treat to me,” said Maria.

“J intend it to be so,” replied the lady of the man-
sion.

A duet had been performed — the Italian had proved the
taste and science his country so generally display, in singing
one of its exquisite airs, when two of the servants brought
forward a beautiful harp to a certain space which had been

il
122 DECISION.

purposely left for it, and their lady stepping to Maria, said, in
a low voice, —

« Now, my dear young friend, behold once more that in-
strument with which you have so often delighted us. It
has completed, this night, the solitude of seven years, to
which it was condemned by you from the noblest motives,
the most praiseworthy resolution. I have had it put in
order; but pray try it.”

“My harp! my poor harp!” ejaculated Maria, as she
stepped towards it with the sense of welcoming a friend.
The instrument was closely connected in her mind with all
the brightest days and the tenderest emotions her heart had
experienced in the morning of life, when such feelings glit-
ter with the radiance of the dew-drop, and, like it, are ex-
haled by the advancing hours. With the glowing enthusi-
asm which, at that period, formed a striking trait in her
character, and still mingled with her feelings, and gave ani-
mation to the reflective powers so marked by her conduct,
she eagerly flung her white hand over the strings, which, as
they vibrated on her ear, seemed to renew in her a kind of
past existence, full of sublime and endearing emotion. She
seemed surprised that the strings would answer to her long
alienated fingers, that the soul of music would yet spring
from her bidding, yet thrill through her heart; and if ever
human countenance exhibited the inspiring radiancy of
angelic natures, blended with the softness of feminine. ten-
derness, it was that of Maria, as she now leaned over her
instrument, with

‘ Smiles on her lip, and on her cheek a tear.”

To her mother the sight was overpowering, and Mr. Fal-
coner, unable to endure the current of painful recollections
it awoke, was leaving the room; but before he had reached
the door, it was opened—a stranger was announced —
“ Count Hernhausen.” \ '

His tall form enabled him, at the first glance, to perceive
DECISION. 123

all the company ;' that glance necessarily rested on her
who was the most conspicuous figure, and, although the
awakened, abstracted mind of Maria was not roused from
the species of rapt communion she was engaged in with
her early friend, yet, when she looked up and caught the
entranced eye of the count, she was covered with blushes,
and, hastily resuming her former seat, shrank from observa-
tion as much as she was able.

Sir James’s having left a letter for the count at his hotel,
entreating to see him, sans cérémonie, immediately on his
return, accounted for this unexpected appearance at the
Park, but not altogether for his return to the place from
which he had been absent only half the time he projected.
This may be, however, easily accounted for: he was a free
agent, his heart had been soothed, his mind relieved, by the
conversation of two kind, intelligent people, and he found
that the sublime and beautiful country through which he
was passing, however it might charm his eye and exalt his
imagination, left his heart only the more depressed ; he
therefore rendered that a hasty though not unobservant tour,
which was intended to supply short occasional residences,
and, as he could hold no conversation with the Welsh, came
back to talk about them to the English.

The warm welcome he received from all who knew him,
detained him a short time before he reached the spot where
Maria sat, to whom he was so evidently a stranger, that
Lady Trevannion could not forbear saying, “1 perceive that
you do not know Miss Falconer, my good count; yet I un-
derstood from her father that”

Hernhausen apologized, and between his scanty store of
English, somewhat injured by his Cambrian journey, and
that love of truth which was inherent in his every word and
action, his apology was any thing but complimentary to the
former impressions he had received of Maria, and drew the.
smiles of the company in despite of their efforts. The count
felt awkward, and looked for a few moments a little em-
barrassed —a situation which made Maria his entire friend,


124 DECISION.

not less than his previous sincerity ; and so completely did
this circumstance overcome her mauvaise honte by exciting
the benevolent sentiments of her heart, that she became
willing to be awkward in her turn—to prove “that she
could not play, that she had forgotten héw to sing.” Those
who could exactly recollect her former powers probably
found deficiencies, and so undoubtedly did the stranger ; but
never bad he found imperfection equally charming — sel-
dom had he listened with more delight, and certainly never
with half the surprise and interest.

When the music ceased, it naturally excited conversation
on subjects connected with it; the traveller spoke of Wales
and its bards, and, as a man of inquiry, endeavored to Jearn
somewhat of Ireland and its national instrument. Maria
had not forgotten all she had read on the subject, at a period
when she also had loved to trace the page of history or the
legend of poetry ; and although her actual recollections of
the country were few, they were blended with such vivid
impressions, such captivating associations of the heart and
the fancy, that the metamorphosis of her language and man-
ners, from the sage, methodical scribe of invoices and cal-
culator of discounts, appeared much more surprising than
that of her person. Had he met her a week before in the
mountains of Brecknockshire, he must have believed that
some benevolent fairy had wrought the change, to wean his
oppressed spirit from that sense of depression to which it
had lately submitted too much. ;

Maria returned with her parents to their home. It was a
long time since she had been out of her bed at such a late
hour, and she felt really surprised that time could have fled
so fast, and have left her so little wearied. She was glad
that she had yielded to the advice of her friends, and al-
lowed herself once more to mingle in society. She felt
that she had earned the right to her past enjoyment; and
though she recollected, with a sigh, that her prize was not
won, her task yet far from being completed, yet surely she
had attained that power of self-command necessary for

have taken root too long in our native soil to be transplanted
without suffering dreadfully from the change. I hate travel-
ling, and when my husband returned from his German tour,
though he loved the people, he did not like many other things
necessary for comfort: yet if Maria goes, we must go too ;
[| would rather die than be separated from her.”

But uo reasoning of hers could wean the father from the
fondly-cherished hope of beholding his daughter ennobled ;
of considering her at the head of a feudal establishment,
the admired of all eyes as the graceful, beneficent stranger,
the beloved of all hearts as the liberal mistress, the hospi-
table friend, the idolized wife. In pursuance of his object,
he made every possible inquiry which prudence or solicitude
could dictate respecting the character, fortune, and connec-
tions, of Count Hernhausen in his own country, and from
every quarter his answers were more than satisfactory: all
reéchoed the feelings and praises of his own heart, when
this amiable and exemplary man was its subject.

At the time of the counts return, Mr. Falconer had
greatly increased the indisposition of which we spoke by a
severe cold, and he was s0 unwell chat Maria exerted herself
to the utmost to spend as much time as possible at home, in
order to lighten her mother’s cares and relieve the tedium of
confinement to her father. Hence she appeared again in a
new and most endearing light to the count, who saw, in the
tenderness of that attention she paid the sufferer, the affec-
tionate activity with which she assisted Mrs. Falconer, and the
lively playfulness with which she sought to amuse the invalid,
or the patient forbearance displayed by her when he was
tedious or petulant, all those qualities most to be sought for
in a companion for life ; aud his esteem was now added to
the admiration and love which already possessed his heart.

Independent in his situation — victor over his early preju-
dices — aware that his beloved mother earnestly desired
his union with an amiable woman, to whom she would
gladly resign her former seat — and naturally of a most ingen-
uous temper, — there was ho cause why his manners should

veil the state of the count’s affections. In fact, they were
sufficiently evident to every eye, and from them the father
recovered his health with a rapidity that was most gratefully
hailed by the lover, not less than the daughter.

To Mr. Falconer the count first declared the state of his
affections, the wishes of his heart — not as a matter of form,
but from the daily increasing sense of the value of her he
sought — from considering that there was, in the command-
ing intellect and decisive tone of her character, much that
might prove inimical to his hopes, since, although he flat-
tered himself that he was in possession of her esteem, and
that she was not indifferent to bis person and feelings, he
could not but see that she was capable of severing a stronger
tie if it militated against her preconceived opinions of paren-
tal claims, or rather of resolute perseverance in the path she
had adopted.

Thus circumstanced, the lover ventured not to risk a dec-
laration on which so much depended, and to which he was
the less urged because it was evident that every morning
interview, every evening conversation, tended to confirm
her predilection in his favor; nor could it be supposed that
the traces of deep thought, or even her anxiety on matters
of business, and the pains she evidently had taken to con-
tract her affairs, and especially to close her connections in
France, in consequence of his advice, were unfavorable to
his hopes. It was natural to suppose that a woman who
had given up her best days, her strongest inclinations, to the
attainment of a certain end, would not relinquish the advan-
tages so gained, unadvisedly ; nor was it likely that any
commercial concern begun on credi¢ and conducted with a
regularity opposed to oa speculation (therefore not
susceptible of enormous profits) should in, little more than
seven years have secured such a fortune as-to render Mr.
and Mrs. Falconer independent; nor was Maria herself
likely to accept all from a husband, after being so long in the
habit of possessing and bestowing. She had received a
decisive lesson in the fate of her mother; and, though natu-
DECISION. 131

rally not less confiding than generous, and fully equal to
discriminating between the different characters of her
father and her Jover, it was hardly likely that impressions so

momentous could be lost. She

was asa woman likely to

feel affection intensely, constantly, sincerely, and ardently, but
not at all likely to yield to love blindly: the empire of reason
and the habit of examination forbade her to become the dupe
of that passion which has ever a tendency to confuse the in-
tellect, “and make the worse appear the better reason.”

Yet, by degrees, confidence, friendship, and even 10°@,
confessedly united Maria to him who had leng possessed

her high regard, and with whom

she could have adventured

freely her own personal happiness ; but she claimed not only

time for further consideration an

d the complete adjustment

of her affairs, previous to her marriage, but required that
every circumstance relative to her situation and prospects
should be laid before the countess, his mother, most undis-
guisedly, — observing justly, “that when a whole family made
so important a sacrifice as that of abandoning their country,
it was necessary that their future footing in their adopted
land should be thoroughly understood and indisputably

advantageous.”

The unbounded affection both her parents felt for the

' count; the actual desire her father professed for removing

original rank. in society understood and estimated, and a
moderate income equal to maintaining an important station ;

the placid quiescence of her mother in all their arrange-
ments for the future, — did not, however, prevent Maria from
foreseeing many trifling discomforts as inevitable ; and when. »
she reflected on the happy years they had enjoyed at the 5
Cottage, in possession of increasing conveniences, and per- .
fect freedom from all care, enjoying the society of a few
chosen friends, and unencumbered by the parade or incom-

moded by the bustle of life, she could not forbear to attribute —

and ease; nor to feel a persuasion that her mother secretly
feared the change, in which she acquiesced from a sense of
equal love and gratitude to her. Under the solicitude these
thoughts awakened, she was induced once more to seek her
constant adviser, and found Mr. Elderton, fortunately, alone.

The awkwardness of introducing so delicate a subject was
spared to her by the good old gentleman, who yet spoke of
it with a very sombre air, as if he were rather looking at the
bright side of a sorrowful affair than the slight imconve-
niences of a good one. He was a bachelor, and could not
be made sensible to the happiness such a union could
hardly fail of producing between persons so virtuous and
intellectual, attached to each other by all that is found most
binding in friendship, most lasting and endearing in love;
but he did know how to éstimate the actual good with which
he knew Maria to be surrounded, and that with which she
endowed her parents. He also felt a strong desire that she
should not be an undowried bride, and his painful recollec-
tions of his mother rendered him sensible that more than
ordinary seé¢urity and honor should be given to one who,
in leaving her own country, unavoidably incurs many small
evils at least, and lays herself open to great ones; and he
therefore observed, —

« Though I believe it is armgsthat your sex are much more
easily moulded, and that by née ure® aré “happily more
mutable than we are, yet, as all the’¢ yiduet of your past life
evinces that strength is not less your characteristic than
affection, I have my doubts whether you could change your
habits with the facility of your sex in general, Maria: in
short, if you marry, Pp settle in England; Iam sure the
count loves you well Apost to consent to that.”

Jo,that a man in his situation ought to live in
and fulfil all the duties to which his situa-

as this, when surely every man should be at his post —in
such a case, he would not be the man I could honor, or would
marry.”

« You are a brave, noble-hearted young woman, and pre-
cisely calculated for the place in society where this equally
exec ent man would place you; and if 1, —or if he had
com: ina couple of years later, or ” ___

«J am not going to be married soon, perhaps never, to
Frederic Hernhausen, for it is certain, as he well knows,
that my union with my mother is irrevocable; and I want
you to get really at the bottom of her feelings and wishes
on this point: at present, I fear my father influences her.
I fear, too, that she supposes me much weaker than she
ought to suspect me of being. Iam not a child now, save
in my affection for her.”

Maria departed, and the old man was left musing on her
words. “No, Maria,” said he, “you are not a child; but I
rather think woman at six-and-twenty, when she has chosen
a resting-place for her heart, sanctioned by reason, clings to
it with a tenacity of which sixteen is incapable: my old
heart aches to think of what yours would suffer were it torn
from one so worthy of your choice ; one, too, who would be
a son to your parents, and, when they are gone, supply the
chasm ; you'must marry him.”

Having thus made up his mind to this conclusion, it was
no wonder that, in consequence of hearing unexpected good
news from Germany a few days afterwards, he burst into
the Cottage with a look of gayety sparkling in his Counte-
nance, a rubbing of the hands, and a gladsomeness in his
“good morning,” which prepared his auditors for intelli-
gence of the most joyful kind.

«Welcome, my good friend,” said Mr. Falconer; “you
look so happy that it does one good to see you.”

“ Ay, so will you look happy before I leave you: there
you sit cogitating in your great chair on the possibility, and
probability, of comparing your pedigree with a German
baron’s, tn. sigh to think you must rob your daughter of a

portior, or break her heart by refusing her fortune, when all
the wh. le the winds are wafting you over the best part of
twelve thousand pounds from honest Krentzer’s, in lieu of
the fifteen they owed you.”

«“ Krentzer’s! the Dantzic bankers?” said Mr. Falconer
in a low voice, putting his hand to his forehead.

“ Ay, here’s the document, forwarded to me for the pur-
pose of laying it before all their creditors; here’s your names
with the dividends, interests, and so forth — you are certain
I lost not a moment; I— why, Falconer, my dear fellow,
how’s this? don’t look so— speak to me — for God’s sake,
speak !”

Mrs. Falconer was seated at the breakfast-table, which
Maria had that moment left, and had, in the moment of
devout thanksgiving to God for this most welcome news,
cast her eyes upwards, and was absorbed in the joyful and
pious emotion she experienced, when the alarmed tone of
Mr. Elderton’s voice startled her. She arose, and beheld
ber husband sunk back in his chair, in the dreadful situation
she had once, and never but once, witnessed before. Her
piercing shriek instantly brought her daughter and the ser-
vants into the room, and one had the seuse instantly to fly
for medical assistance.

Shocked as Mr. Elderton was, he yet instinctively raised
up the stricken man, and calling on Maria to aid him, he
succeeded in unbuckling his stock, and in freeing his respi-
ration from every external impediment; and, by their joint
efforts, prompt and effectual assistance was given. The
arrival of the medical man was as rapid as possible, and the
immediate application of the lancet apparently produced
relief to the patient, who was conveyed to bed before any
attention could be paid to Mrs. Falconer, who had fainted
from terror.

When Maria had succeeded in recalling life to her mother,
she had yet great difficulty in persuading her that ber father
lived; and for many hours, fainting fits succeeded each other
so rapidly, that it was found impossible to convey her to his
DECISION. 135

room, and convince her of his existence; and when this
took place at last, she appeared in the more deplorable con-
dition.

Maria was, however, soon convinced that this was not the
case, and amidst all the terror and anguish of this unexpect-
ed affliction, she yet saw that it was to her father that her
first cares ought to be directed ; she lost not a moment in
summoning two physicians of eminence to consult on the
ease, and she waited their opinion, under the terrible con-
viction that the life of both her parents was suspended in
the same scale, and that, whenever the soul now struggling
on the lips of the husband should depart, it would summon
that of the wife, more slowly, but not less certainly, to follow.

In this sudden and agonizing affliction, how welcome was
the presence of her lover! How much more closely did
sorrow cement and hallow their affection, giving, as it were,
the perfecting link to that chain which bound them to each
other! Those only who have prayed and wept together,
know what it is to love with the fervor, depth, and purity, of
which the human heart is capable.

Days and nights succeeded, in which it was expected that
every passing hour would be the last; yet life still lingered,
though speech and reason were denied. At the end of a
fortnight, decided symptoms of improvement appeared, and
hope arose in proportion to the severity of its late de-
pression. :

Once more the breathing of the patient became regular,
his appetite returned, and the use of his right arm was par
tially restored. The disorder, which had been considered
apoplectic at the moment of seizure, was now pronounced
paralytic, and it was believed possible that the sufferer
might live, and even by slow degrees recover his faculties
and his limbs. This information operated like magic on
the mind, and even on the constitution, of Mrs. Falconer,
reduced as she had become even to an alarming state of
weakness. The moment that her spirits were relieved, she
became capable of taking food and medicine, of consider-
136 DECISION.

ing all the means of assistance necessary to her husband’s
case, and recollecting various instances in which others
had been relieved who were similarly afflicted. Under the
happy stimulus thus given to her affections, she becaime
able to endure a sight far worse than death —to attend in
constant but unavailable watchfulness on the most affecting
if not the most deplorable spectacle humanity can present,
and which had already shook the younger and stronger
frame of her daughter beyond its powers.

The fine form and still handsome features of poor Fal-
coner, at this time, resembled so completely those of a
corpse, that the sight of him in a sitting posture, as recom-
mended by the faculty, had something in it ghastly and
revolting, especially as he was obliged to be swathed by
bands of linen which bound him to the chair. That his
dull, fixed eyes were open, that the sluggish motion of his
laboring breast indicated breathing, and that one marble
hand showed partial possession of life, by an unvarying, un-
dulating movement, only added to the horror of the object,
which combined, in one living man, all that is most terrible
in death and idiocy. It awoke pity so profound that it be-
came excruciating, mingled with that cold shuddering of the
senses, by which Nature proclaims, even to the most attached
hearts, the barrier she has placed between the living and the
dead.

When this sad state had continued long enough to leave
no doubt of its stability, the count, as the most beloved
friend of the sufferer, (who was now supposed to be beyond
the reach of further emotion,) was admitted to the room,
where alone he could see that afflicted wife, whom he loved
and revered as a mother. It will be readily supposed that
he would severely experience the sensation we have spoken
of on approaching the remains of one whom he had so
often gazed upon with admiration, and never seen before
without pleasure. Not to gaze upon him now was impos-
sible: there was a fascination which drew him both by awe
and by tenderness ; but how did the creeping shock which
DECISION. 137

ran through his veins subside into compassion, and melt
into affectionate sorrow, when, by slow degrees, the pale,
rigid features relaxed, a faint smile unbent the fixed mus-
cles of the mouth, a new brightness ylimmered in the
glazed eye, and a murmuring, half-articulated word issued
from the parched lips, and gave sign of recognition and ~
pleasure.

It was a sight to move the firmest heart, when the count,
overwhelmed with affection, knelt before that breathing
corpse, and, as the big tears rolled down his cheeks, took
that pale, helpless hand and pressed it fondly to his lips and
his heart, trying to conquer the suffocating grief that im-
peded utterance, that he might answer the faint smile, and
reassure the sufferer. As Maria beheld him thus affected,
thus employed, never had he been so graceful in her eyes,
__ so dear, so honored by her heart; and as she heard him
pour out, half unintelligibly, the sympathy and sorrow of
his soul, or hail the faint glimpse of returning reason in
him whom he called “ beloved father, venerated friend,” her
silent vows for him ascended to heaven, and called on the
eternal Father to record the promise which bound her to
her lover from that hour forever —a vow which she felt,
even then, must not be registered on earth.

CHAPTER XIV.

Wuen it had thus been ascertained that the visit of the
count produced no other emotion than one which was
pleasurable, and that it had even increased, apparently, the
patient’s general powers of perception, poor Mrs. Falconer
became impatient to see him again ; and as habit strength-
ened his power of enduring the painful sight, it was evident
that his visits must be useful and consolatory to them all.
The mournful satisfaction he experienced in communicating
good, rendered him placid, if not cheerful: and on his en-
trance one morning with marks of recent agitation in his
countenance, though he earnestly sought to disguise them,
Maria entreated him ta speak with her in the adjoining
room.

“You have experienced some new distress,” said she;
«do not keep it from me —I have a right to share your cup
of sorrow, for you have drunk deeply of mine.”

The count placed a letter which had been written some
weeks, but was only just received, in her hands; it was
from his mother, and was in reply to that which he had
forwarded at the express desire of Maria. The countess
warmly approved the conduct and character of her whom
he had chosen, and signified her full confidence in a son
who had long been not less the object of her pride than her
love; but she urged him to complete the engagement as
speedily as possible, as she was impatient to see him, having
been now many months in so delicate a state of health that
she had been sent by her physicians from place to place for
change of air; and had at length returned to their own
DECISION. 139

abode, where she anxiously awaited his presence, regretting
exceedingly that, in her mistaken tenderness, she had not
told him her real situation some time before.

The countess added, in a postscript, “ that his sister was
well, but, being unable to leave her family, had prevailed on
her friend Henrietta Steinher to become her mother’s com-
panion, and that she had proved a most affectionate and val-
uable child to her, and would be a most welcome acquisi-
tion to the dear stranger, for whom they would make every
preparation circumstances permitted, and whom she earn-
estly longed to embrace.”

Before Maria reached this part of the letter, her distress
had become so great that she fled to her own room to save
the feelings of her lover — to hide even from his eye the
heart-rending sorrow which overwhelmed her : so severe
was the agony which followed her reflections on this letter,
and her clear sense of the painful, the soul-barrowing duty
she was called upon to perform, that, compared with what
she now suffered, she thought she had never tasted of sorrow
till now. There were indeed moments when she felt utterly
unequal to the task — moments when grief was so acute iu
the pang it inflicted, that she could have shrieked under it,
or have expressed her feelings best in the language of
vehement anger. Her vivid imagination, the warm and
energetic character of her mind, the tenfold ties which
recent and terrible affliction had bound round the hearts of
her lover and herself, making them one being, all added to
the transport of passionate sorrow which at this moment
overwhelmed her —true! she had seen the stroke advan-
cing; she kad been aware it was descending; she had sum-
moned all her powers to meet it ; and she had felt how feeble
those powers were: it had new fallen, it rankled in her
very “heart of hearts,” and she writhed under it in inde-
scribable torture.

Au hour passed, and the lover beard not her returning
step, and the gloom on his bosom imereased: it changed to
the restlessness which belongs to violent agitation, and he
140 DECISION.

repaired to the sick chamber, as if the fearful spectacle of
its unnatural quietness would allay the ferment of his spirit ;
but he had no power of exertion —his eye was wild, his
tongue incapable of reply, and his thoughts completely
estranged, even from her whom he bebeld with such feel-
ings of deep respect and admiration, as a ministering angel
to her suffering husband. At one moment, and only one, his
eyes were fixed upon her with attention ; she was feeding
the helpless victim from a small silver boat, in the manner
infants are fed; and she did it with the same tender care,
blended with somewhat of respect and courtesy. The vir-
tues and the peculiar duties of woman as wife and mother
could not be more strongly condensed, niore beautifully
represented — “ would Maria become such ? would she, with
a more highly-gifted mind, a still more impassioned sensi-
bility, and wider capacity for good, would she emulate her
mother’s conduct ?— Ah! why was she absent? What was
she considering in a moment so important to them both -

Yet more than three hours had passed, when poor Maria,
pale, exhausted, and bearing in her countenance marks of
the ravages of recent suffering, once more entered the room.
She looked calm, but deeply mournful — affectionate, yet
firm.

« I am persuaded, dear Frederic, that you see as clearly as
myself that path it is now become equally our duty te pursue.
I have kept you a long time waiting, but you will forgive me
on the consideration that I found the task a difficult one
—_so difficult that I wil} not allow myself to revert to it
again. We have otber claims on our feelmgs than to waste
them uselessly, especially you who must travel — must go
hence this very night.”

« Not so soon as that, Maria, surely.”

“The sooner the better. & hope your servant has pre-

ed.” '

“« And I—1 am to go alone — this time ?”

« My friend — my beloved — nay, do not interrupt me — we
part for ever; it would be folly, nay, wickedness, in me to
DECISION. 141

pracuse self-deception, and thus deceive and injure you.
Years may pass, must pass (I hope) before I could have the
right to marry you. I have already told you that 1” ——

J will return ; I will share all your troubles ; I will :nake
your country my country.”

- No, Count Hernhausen, you shall not do this for me,
nor any woman: you are not now a boy, in whom
such conduct might be pardoned, though it were nol ap-
proved. Your mother is sick, and requires your Care; your
sister is the wife of a soldier ; the baron, her husband, looks
to you as her future protector. In these portentous mes,
may not your own arm be called for by your country ? To
rob that country of you now, were worse than sacrilege.”

“You are right; every word is truth; but though not
children, we are yet young, Maria, and in time better pros-
pects will arise to us.”

«Do not believe it; the very thought would paralyze
every good disposition in both our hearts;— we must part,
we must suffer, but we do not need to be therefore unwor-
thy. Go to your own country, comfort your mother, protect
your servants, fulfil your father’s wishes, and, like him, you
may in time — in time place a virtuous and accomplished
mistress at the head of your household.”

« Hold, hold, Maria — you know not what it is to love as
you have been loved —I swear”

*é Hush !—do not swear —I spoke foolishly. I wish you to
be happy; but certainly I cannot at this moment wish you
married, save as the only means which will enable me to
hear of you; all half measures would only prolong our
sufferings, and destroy our usefulness: we part now finally
—I will never marry.”

The anguish and the language of the lover it is alike
useless to dwell upon; Maria, as heretofore, had weighed and
was decided on the point.

The count left B—— that very night, and in the woe and
perturbation of his spirits doubtless found some relief from
change of place, the hurry of departure, and the fortunate


142 DECISION.

power of immediate embarkation which oceurred to him.
He arrived in as short time as possible at his paternal resi-
dence, and found that its salubrious breezes had already
proved more restorative to his mother than any place which
she had visited, and for a time the presence of her son, and
the necessity of consoling his affliction, assisted her health ;
but she was advanced in life, and final recovery was hardly
to be expected. The death of Miss Steinher’s father, who
had been an old friend of the late count, and the necessity
of prosecuting a lawsuit which involved the fortune of his
daughter, (now left to the care of the countess,) compelled
her son to exert his faculties, and remember that neither in
sorrow nor joy doth “ man live for himself alone.”

Although no person was less likely to fall into that error
than Maria, yet at this time she was undoubtedly over-
whelmed with sorrow, and her mind sank, as it were, into
the utter dejection, the quiet, but appalling repose, of inert
despondency. She felt as if overcome by the exertion used
jn one great achievement; she had now a right to rest — to
gaze on her father until she almost resembled him in the
torpor of his disease as mucli as the paleness of his inani-
mate complexion —to weep, as one who “ mourns for the
dead, and refuses to be comforted.”

However frequently Maria had reiterated her intention of
declining all correspondence with her late lover, she yet
could not forbear a secret hope that she should be dis-
obeyed, and when she found (after a considerable lapse of
time) that her mother had received a letter, she was really
thankful.

Mrs. Falconer, during this period, had been so incessantly
employed in watching, (as those so afflicted alone do watch,)
- jn the vain hope of seeing some proof of amended health or
returning intellect in her idolized invalid, that, sincerely as
she sympathized in the sorrows of her daughter, she was
yet not aware of their extent. The evident agitation Maria
exhibited on the arrival of this letter opened her eyes to the
wan countenance and spectre-like form of her daughter, and
DECISION. 143

the distress she exhibited, the supplications she used, drew
forth a promise, “ that she would exert herself, she would
guard the health so necessary for her mother’s welfare” —
that mother to whom she had devoted herself so entirely.

«Perhaps this letter may do you good, Maria: will you
open it ?”

«Not for the world; I will even not hear it read; but if
you will tell me the general sense, I will thank you.”

As Mrs. Faleoner perused it, she could not forbear to
weep, and it required a strong effort in Maria to refrain from
snatching the letter from the hands of her mother, and de-
youring the contents with her own eyes; but she forbore, and
said only, “Is all well?”

« As well as a good man who has lost a good woman can
be, I trust he is; his mother is better, which comforts him;
but public affairs are very bad, and it seems his mother had
property in France, where every thing is going to pieces, 1
think.”

In the dusk of that very evening Maria visited Mr. Elder-
ton, and arranged with him how to dispose of the money
received from Germany. She listened to his remonstrances
on the impropriety of allowing her business to dwindle
away, instead of disposing of it, as she might have done, for
a handsome sum of money, or bestowing it as a reward to
some valuable servant, and observed that it was a pity such
a connection should be lost; he had once hoped little Frank
Ingalton would have come in for it, adding with a sigh, “1!
fear his father will never be able to live in the East Indies ;
1 hear his wife is very poorly, and, although fond of Calcutta,
where she is much beloved, would yet like to return if she
could do it consistently with her husband’s situation ; their
family is likely to be very large, and it would be a pity to
deprive them of any help in your power to give ; and un-
doubtedly there are other people, sufferers by these disas-
trous times, whom it would be a pleasure to assist: the Con-
tinent is in a terrible situation.”

“Undoubtedly,” said Maria, after a long pause; adding
144 DECISION.

afterwards, “I will go again into the counting-house; I will
not suffer that excellent business to be lost; for I have not
any persons whom I can put into it with a chance of suc-
cess. My old servants are too old for any aid but pension
ing, and this | will endeavor to do.”

In consequence of this resolution, aided by the full con
viction that the restoration of her health and spirits would
be the greatest possible blessing to her mother, she pro-
ceeded as far.as she was able to exert herself’ once more in
that path which had been interrupted by such various oc-
eurrences. ~The secession of Mr. Elderton from business at
this time assisted her in a twofold sense, as she engaged
from him two steady men as a clerk and a traveller ; and the
leisure which he possessed enabled him to spend many
hours with poor Mr. Faleoner, which tended greatly to re-
lieve his faithful and unwearied partner.

The fond wife and daughter had also the satisfaction of
pereeiving that, although the invalid never noticed Maria,
whilst she was constantly about him, yet he had now an
evident perception of her movements, and always saw her
come in with pleasure. If she were later than usual, he
would sigh heavily, and roll his eyes around in search of
her; yet he never regretted her departure: it was therefore
evident that certain recollections of the past floated over his
mind, but beyond this shadow of imtelligence it never rose.

Afier living nearly two years in this state of semi-exist-
ence, poor Mr. Falconer departed, at last, without any ap-
parent change, and so gently that even his unwearied nurse
knew not the moment when he was summoned hence. She
had taught herself to hope so long, that, happy as the change
might appear to every other person, to her it was a severe
shock, and a great privation, which reduced her to a sense
of solitude and desolation for which her previous affliction,
however great, had not prepared her. Maria’s sole attention
was given to her bereaved mother, whom she considered
now more especially delegated by Heaven itself to her care
and love ; and considering that every thing around her eon-
DECISION. 145

tributed to keep alive these sad remembrances which were
destructive to a spirit so broken, and a constitution so in-
jured by long confinement and extreme solicitude, she
hastened her removal to a handsome house at the borders
of the town, bought her a neat carriage, and placed her
establishment on the most respectable footing.

But a much more essential benefit was now insured to
the amiable mourner by the company of Mrs. Ingalton, who
was glad to resign the labors of her school, and partake the
quiet comforts and the beloved society of her friend.

Here Mrs. Falconer by degrees regained her health, and
proved that resignation to the divine will which her relig:on
taught when she was enabled to bring its divine consola-
tions home to her heart; and in her renovated cheerfulness,
her placid acquiescence, and gratitude to God for present
blessings, her daughter felt a rich reward for all the past la-
bors and sacrifices of her life. To her it was delightful to see
her mother and her friend return to the pleasures of society,
and, with a few well-chosen friends, renew the happy inter-
course which both had necessarily resigned for so long a
period, whilst her own spirits were relieved by the benefi-
cial exertion of her talents, the extent of her power, and
even of her wealth, since it was never accumulated but for
the purpose of being wisely and benevolently applied to the
comforts or the wants of those around her.

In the course of the time now passing, Mrs. Falconer
had learnt from his own pen that Count Hernhausen had suf-
fered much, from the disastrous state of his law affairs, the
loss of much property in France due to his mother, and
lately the death of that much-loved parent. She found that,
after this event, he had, like many other noblemen in his
sit: ation, entered the army, to repel the invaders of his coun-
try nor will it surprise many of our readers to learn also
thes, after residing nearly two years in the house with an
amiable girl, his own ward and his mother’s darling, whose
artless manners had often told him how dear he was to her
heart, and from whom he must be separated necessarily at

his mother’s death, he had at length married her, and hoped
to find in her affection some solace for the past, although
public affairs in his country encroached much on private
happiness.

Several years now passed, in which the many difficulties
of those engaged in commercial pursuits were such as
would unquestionably have deterred Maria from embarking
in them; but as her property was necessarily scattered
abroad, she could not, in many instances, forbear to continue
her connections without abandoning her past gains alto-
gether. This she was the less willing to do, because every
year of this distressing period showed her some new means
by which she could benefit those around her; nor could she
be insensible to the pleasure of guiding, by prudence and
vigilance, her steady bark through the ocean in which so
many were wrecked. Circumstances of course extended
her connections, and she found several persons whom she
esteemed and pitied, and to whom she became so eminently
useful that many, now rich and important, may be said to
owe all they possess to that considerate generosity in her
which preserved their parents from utter ruin, and enabled
them to educate, and eventually fix their children respec-
tably in life. It was not alone in the abode of poverty that
the bounty of Maria flowed, where a trifling relief effected
a great assistance, (although such objects were never neg-
lected by her ;) but the noble benevolence of her heart, and
the compreheusiveness of her views, went far beyond petty
charities. Wasa worthy manufacturer unable to live any
longer by a business which, having its regular market closed,
called upon him to pay large wages, and lay the goods for
which he so paid upon shelves already groaning with the
accumulation, -— “I must share this trouble,” said Maria; “1
must purchase from him, and enable him to go on; otherwise
he will be ruined, his family driven to the lowest ranks in
society, and his workmen thrown upon the parish, to in-
crease the already overburdened rates, which, in their turn,
will pull down more housekeepers : this must not be.”
ECISION. 147

Every such resolve, in her case, was followed by secret but
prompt assistance 5 and if the evil was found greater than
she had apprehended, it was only met with fuller considera-
tion and more ample help. It would sometimes happen to
involve her present means sO far as to render her literally
poor, in which case she always quietly endured the inconve-
nience to which it subjected her, rather than incur personal
obligation or alter the routine of her affairs. “ 1 have had
my treat,” she would say to her mother, “ and must wait
till I can have another; 1 should be an unworthy pupil
of my early school ‘f [had not learnt, like St. Paul, ‘how to
want and how to abound.’ ”

It has more than once occurred at such periods that Maria
was applied to on behalf of some public charity, in which
case she always quietly, but, if teased, peremptorily, refused
to give. This was considered sometimes to arise from
caprice, at other times from avarice, which was deemed
particularly ‘nexcusable in one who was known to have
escaped all great losses better than her neighbors, and
whose steady gains and moderate expenses must before this
time have made actually rich. Remonstrance and entreaty
were, however, alike unavailing ; for, as she always gave freely
when she could do so with propriety, so she always refused
firmly when she could not; yet would she never condescend
to plead poverty, much less hint at the medium which made
her poor. When the storm had blown past through her
means, sometimes (despite of her entreaty) gratitude whis-
pered the name of the pilot through whom it had been
weathered; and it has been known that, on the very morning
when she stoutly refused a guinea subscription, she had paid
a debt of a hundred pounds to save the father of a family
from arrest.

How often has she placed a widow in a little shop, put out
sons apprentices, made daughters into useful assistants,
decent instructors, Or superior servants, by bestowing on
them the profits of some one branch of her commercial
dealings, which, when s0 dedicated, she would hold reli-
148 DECISION.

giously as theirs for the time to which it was thus appropri-
ated! and how often would she relieve humbler objects by the
direct sacrifice of some personal luxury, to which her taste
inclined and her fortune warranted! But never did these
denials for one moment extend to the elegant comforts which
surrounded her mother, towards whom her affections seemed
drawn more fondly the more they were concentrated. ‘The
carriage, the house, the very dress, of Mrs. Falconer, were
models for all who had good taste to copy; and Maria, who, in
her own person, seemed to forget the very existence of great
personal beauty, paid it homage in the person of her mother.

It is true that, as time advanced, and she felt it no longer
necessary to look older than she was, she dressed much
better: fashions in female apparel happily became simple
and convenient at the time when it suited her to adopt them,
and a plain cloth pelisse and Leghorn bonnet supplied the
place of the ancient habit, and formed a costume equally use-
ful and infinitely more becoming. The activity of her habits
preserved her fine form, her light step, and the quickness of
her eye ; and, although the rapidity of her ideas, the strictness
of her methodical arrangements, and the determinate char-
acter of her mind, rendered her occasionally subject to a quick
mode of speech and an unbending gait, there was an open-
ness of countenance, an assurance of protection, a full, frank
kindness of reception about her, which enabled every honest
child of sorrow to lay his wants before her with ease: the
mean and the wicked shrunk before her eye.

Such was she in her thirty-sixth year, when a foreign lady,
young, fair, and evidently oppressed with sorrow, appeared
unexpectedly before her, and signified, in very broken Eng-
lish a desire to speak to her in private.

That desire was instantly complied with, and the stranger,
with a trembling hand, presented a billet which had been
Jong written, but was yet legible, and had been traced by a
hand never to be forgotten.

“ Maria, I write to you from a prison in France, where the
DECISION. 149

fate of war has thrown me. Receive, I beseech you, my
wife and child. You are my only hope and consolation.
Henriette will tell you how we have suffered. Cherish her,
I beseech you; she is worthy of your love: commend her
to your mother, to mine, for as such I must ever hold her.

Neither my time nor my feelings allow me to say more; your
brother, F. H—.”

These lines had been traced with a trembling hand, and
they were read by a heart so agitated as to render words
impossible: an instantaneous and affectionate embrace as-
sured the unhappy wanderer that her beloved lord, her
long-suffering captive, had not been wrong in thus venturing
to throw her on the mercy of that woman whom he could
never cease to remember as the most perfect of her sex, in
his estimation. ,

It is unnecessary to trace the sad steps which had tended
to place the count in his present situation, and induce him to
write to his wife, earnestly entreating her to abandon the
home which was now in the power of the French, and, by a
circuitous route, reach England. He had been too good a
general to have any hope of speedy release, and he had
suffered so severely from his wounds that he thought it only
too probable that he might die in prison. ‘lo procure an
asylum for his young and lovely wife, and the child he idol-
ized, was not only the first wish of his heart, but the only
circumstance, which, by soothing his affliction, would give
him a chance for existence.

When the child of her once-loved Frederic, bearing his
softened resemblance in every feature, was presented to
Maria, her heart throbbed audibly in her bosom; when she
learned that its name was Maria, tears that dissolved, as it
were, her very frame, rushed impetuously down her cheeks.

The little innocent was sorry for the lady, and rushed to
her arms as she had often done, in the hour of sorrow, to
those of her mother, calling on her in her own language
“ not to cry, for papa would soon come to her again.”

13 *
150 DECISION.

To this child Maria became attached as much as she had
ever been to Frank, and had more satisfaction in her second
acquisition than she could have in the first ; for although she
continued to love the boy, who was a very clever and amia-
ble youth, yet that necessity for keeping him at school, and,
to a certain degree, estranging him from the indulgence of
her mother, did not exist in the present case ; and little Maria
soon was the darling of all the family. Mrs. Falconer re-
ceived the unhappy lady with all the gentleness, tenderness,
and affectionate courtesy, due to her sorrows, and with a
vivid interest in the fate of her husband. Here the young
countess might have been happy if friendship could have
made her so; but the more easy external circumstances were
rendered to her, the more, it will be conceived, was she
uneasy respecting the fate of him from whom she had now
no possibility of hearing, and she was frequently ready to
lament that, in obeying his mandate, she had placed herself
out of all power to administer to his comforts, or even learn
his fate.

Whilst her older friends endeavored to console her, and
her lovely child sought to amuse her, Maria constantly en-
deavored to gain the earliest political intelligence, and, by
every source of correspondence which remained to her,
sought to convey and receive information; but the countess
had remained nearly eighteen months in England, without
being able to satisfy herself of more than the actual existence
of her husband. At that period, the prospect of peace awoke
at once hopes and fears which affected her so severely that
health and life itself seemed to fade away before them.
Maria saw the state to which she was reduced, and was
aware action alone could save her; she had herself found its
value, and, fearful that if much longer delayed it would be
useless, she suddenly proposed to set out with her to
Germany.

The offer was received with transport by the countess,
but alarm by Mrs. Falconer. “ Dear Maria,” said she in a
whisper, “have you considered this step ?”
DECISION. 151

«] have, dear mother, and take with me an excellent escort
in Mr. B , whom yet I cannot send alone with our dear
Henriette. If 1 find the count at liberty, I will return im-
mediately without proceeding into the country; but if this
poor creature is condemned to widowhood, we part no
more in this life.”

Their voyage, being taken so late in the year, was very
bad and tedious, and, on arriving at their destination, the
same circumstances of delay in the arrangements of a treaty
which afterwards proved of so short duration, occasioned
many days of uneasiness, alleviated, however, by an assur-
ance that the count lived, and was even then at liberty. ‘To
this information succeeded great fear that he would set out
immediately for England ; but at length they found the means
of informing bim, through a courier, of the present situation
of his lady.

What hours those were when he was known to be on the
road, how slowly they passed, and how often the rooms
were paced through, and the flight of time consulted, we
attempt not to describe. The last two hours were ile worst
ofall. Atlength, however, Henriette embraced her husband,
— her pale, thin, altered husband, — over whom she sorrowed
almost as much as she rejoiced, before the tumult of her
feelings permitted her to seek the present guest, the inesti-
mable benefactress, whom the count wished, yet dreaded, to
see, and whose name and praises even how shook him more
than the memory of all his past sufferings, and the losses and
desolation which encompassed him.

But Maria was gone.

A few hurried but affectionate lines, and a considerable
sum of money, alone remained as her memorial: she adopt
ed the care of the child till they could together reclaim it;
urged them to prosecute their endeavors to recover the
property which had been desolated by the war, and that
fortune of the countess’s whieh the confusion of the times,
and the absence of her husband during the war, had sull


152 DECISION.

withheld from them; and she promised them money wheres
with to contest the point.

The appearance of Maria, on her return, was not only wel-
comed by her mother, but a family of strangers, who had
arrived during her absence, and who were waiting her return
with impatience. ‘This was, as our readers will suppose, the
Ingaltons, which now consisted of the worthy couple and
two additional children. Several had been born and died in
India, but Mrs. Ingalton had never enjoyed her health there,
and was evidently at this time gradually sinking to the tomb.

The love this amiable woman had ever entertained for
Maria appeared even to have increased during her long
ubsence, and from the moment of her ayj:pearance she;flung
herself upon her care with all the helplessness of sileead,
and the fond confidence of early life, so that scarcely was
the burden of one anxiety removed when another was
imposed on her friendship. If care and attention, if the
watchful love of a husband, the tender assiduities of a sister,
could have restored her, Ellen would not have died; but
the case was a lost one, and a very few weeks released
them from all earthly cares, for one whose life had been
singularly happy, making up in ease what it wanted in dura-
tion.

Mr. {ngalton was deeply affected, but not inconsolable, for
he had long expected this change; and his restoration to a
mother and sisters he most fondly loved, and to a son of
whom he was proud, and in whom he met all his heart could
wish, were necessarily circumstances of the most soothing
and solacing description. He had been so far successful in
following the course his brother had commenced, as to have
realized a very handsome fortune, and to have secured for
his younger son an honorable and lucrative situation; he
had happily preserved his own health, which was not affected
by the climate, and which his regularity and temperance
contributed to save; and, contrary to the general appearance
of Oriental residents, he looked younger than he really was.
DECISION. 153

When he became settled, it may be readily supposed what a
great addition he afforded to the pleasure of our little circle,
supplying the loss of the interesting countess by a new and
endearing claimant to their sympathy.

From this lady they now heard constantly, but found that
a succession of troubles surrounded and harassed the
count, who, during the short peace, was engaged in legal
warfare, useless remonstrances On the loss of his property,
and incessant toil in trying to restore what was lost or
injured. Maria assisted him in various ways, by money,
advice, and raising up friends amongst her mercantile connec-
tions. With the return of war, at which period the countess
had become the mother of a son, his plans were again
broken into, and for a considerable time his claims disal-
lowed, and the returning confusion of the Continent again
admitted only partial and contradictory accounts to reach
his anxious friends in England, who were extremely de-
sirous that his lady and child should again find a shelter
from the storm in their friendship.

At this period Mr. Ingalton was thrown much on the
society of Maria ; for, as his mother now lived with him, yet
could not pass a day without seeing the friend with whom
she had resided so long, the families were necessarily much
together. However strange it may appear, it is certain that
the charms her person could still boast, —and those which
were perhaps more attractive in her manners, when in fa-
miliar conversation, than ever, — made that impression on his
bosom now which they had failed to do in youth. Poor Mr.
Elderton had been long declining, and they had frequently
visited him together, had each received friendly legacies
from him, and, indeed, in various ways been associated in
such a manner that, when the family intercourse also was
considered, it could scarcely be surprising that one party at
least should be led to consider it desirable to cement, by a
union for life, that tie which esteem and friendship already
rendered so dear and valuable.

A little fearful of endangering the happy terms on which
154 DECISION,

they stood, Mr. Ingalton first mentioned his wishes to his
friend, the mother of Maria, who promised to speak of it to
her daughter. She heard her with evident pain, and at
length interrupted her to lament “that when they were all
so comfortably settled, Frank should be such a fool as to
disturb their equanimity.”

“ My dear, you forget that poor Ellen has been dead more
than two years; that Mr. Ingalton is a man so fond of
society in domestic life, it is no wonder that he should seek
to renew his happiness; and you must allow be is a man
few women would refuse.”

“Tt is all very true, mother; so let him look round, if he
pleases, and marry some agreeable woman, whom we can all
like. Iwish he would; but it is equally certain I cannot
oblige him with becoming that woman myself.”

“ But, dear Maria, hear what he has to say.”

“Indeed, dear mother, I will not: the idea of Frank
and I playing Romeo and Juliet at this time of day is so
ridicuJous, that, if I were inclined to ratify the treaty you are
employed to negotiate, I would certainly do it with my own
hand, given under my own seal, all in a regular way of con-
tract; but depend upon it, Iam as much married as ever I
shall be.”

“ Yet surely there was a time, Maria, when”

“True, dear mother, there was a time when your Maria
(then very young) felt perhaps more and suffered more for
this worthy man than she now wishes to recollect; since
then she has loved another with that entire preference and
constancy which render it impossible that she should either
recurn to her early predilections or form new ones ; and, to
be serious, I can now sincerely rejoice that no marriage ties
have ever interfered with that devotedness to you to which I
pledged myself, and which I have preserved.”

“You have undoubtedly been enabled to do much more
good, my Jove, and you have escaped many misfortunes 5
but yet, with your wisdom and energy, you would have en-
dured them, and been rewarded for every privation, by


DECISION. 155

constituting the happiness of such a husband as the
count.”

« And what would have become of you, mother ?”

«J had forgotten myself, Maria.”

«True; but not for a day, an hour, should I have forgot-
ten to tremble for you, to lament over you; it is not in my
nature to dismiss those whom Llove from my mind a mo-
ment, so long as I can benefit them; the sorrows of Frank
Ingalton first led me to love him; the greater misfortunes
of my beloved parents, and his subsequent marriage, alike
tended to obliterate the excess of this feeling, and leave only
in its place those friendly regards which I now hold to-
wards him. ‘The more profound and tender affection which —
bound my very soul to Frederic Hernhausen was purposely
conquered as a duty I owed to you and myself, by engaging
anew in the active scenes of life, until the appearance of his
wife renewed in some measure the fervor of ny feelings. J
became so fond of Henriette, and so attached to her child,
that I now know not which of the family I love best; they
furnish me all that my heart requires, and I supply to them
the friend their sad situation requires. All the cares and
the pleasures of a mother have been long mine, for both
Frank and Maria love me with the purest affection. O, it is
well that I was never married; for, although I can submit to
any privation, encounter any toil, for the object of my regard,
yet I much question whether I could bear even a small trial
from such object. It is now too late to try.”

«Unquestionably we are all more conformable in early
life, and you have been s0 long in the exercise of power, it
would be difficult for you to brook control; but if you were
married to a man of as good a temper and as kind a heart
as your own, you might secure a friend for the decline of
life, for that period when I must be removed, who might be
very valuable — but I will not urge you.”

Maria did not reply ; for a recurrence to that awful, and,
as she trusted, far-distant hour, overcame her, and the sub-
ject was never mentioned again. Mr. Ingalton removed for
156 DECISION,

a period to London, and busied himself with the education
of his children. Year after year passed on—the beauty
and accomplishments of Maria, as she rose to womanhood,
blending the gentle suavity of her mother with the virtues
implanted most assiduously by her protectress, attracted the
heart of young Trevannion, and our excellent friend had
begun to feel extreme solicitude on this subject, when the
long-protracted miseries of war were suddenly brought to
an end, and the possibility of personal intercourse with the
parents of her beloved Maria relieved her mind from much:
of its burden on this most momentous point.
DECISION. 157

CHAPTER XV.

TwELVE years had passed since Mrs. Maria Falconer had
restored the countess to the arms of her husband in Ger-
many, since which time she had become the mother of five
children, had been driven to various residences, experienced
great difficulties, put never been wholly lost sight of by
her generous friend, who had continued to encounter the
perplexities and toils of commerce for the express purpose
of dedicating its profits to her use. It will be therefore
readily conceived that, when the possibility of a visit to
England, under the protection of her husband, once more
occurred, not only the feelings of the mother, but the grati-
tude of the friend, alike urged her once more to set out for
England; and, circumstances happening to favor the design,
they arrived unexpectedly at B- before the letters in-
tended to announce them.

We shall not attempt to describe the meeting of friends
so closely united in heart, so long divided in person. The
count was but a ruin of his former self, being robbed of his
“fair proportions” by the loss of his left arm, and halting
from a wound in his knee ; his face was wrinkled and care-
worn, but there was the same expression of countenance,
the same mild blue eye, and kind intonation of voice, which
had never failed to render bim endearing to all around him.
He beheld with surprise the slight alteration time had made
in his eldest friend ; but it was evident in Maria, although
much less so than in his own person or that of his lady,
who was considerably his junior.

14


158 DECISION.

“ But the child, the plaything, who first taught his heart to
throb with the feelings of a father, where was she?”

Maria had been walking with Frank Ingalton, the friend
and brother of her youth: to him she had been opening
her heart, and the blushes were still mantling on her cheeks
from the remembrance of her temerity, when she entered
the room, and encountered the gaze of strangers, who could
with difficulty be made to comprehend that the beautiful,
tall, elegant creature before them was indeed their own
lovely, affectionate child, whose heart had cherished them
only the more fondly for the absence she had so long
lamented. :

This happy visit continued several months, nor ended
until the count was summoned to receive his property, and
reénter on the comforts of that home from which he had
been long exiled; his last duty in England was that of
giving away his Maria at the altar, thereby insuring her
abode in the country of her more than mother — that moth-
er who suffered him not to depart without witnessing the
vbliteration of all proofs of pecuniary obligation on his part,
and an assurance of future aid to his offspring.

When this family had set out, and the pain of bidding
adieu had subsided, the first cares of our worthy friend
were given to the final closing of her accounts, and the
establishment of two worthy men as her successors, not as
purchasers, but acceptors of a well-merited reward from a
generous mistress. Not one person who had shown her
kindness in the day of her own wants, excited approbation
by his industry, or pity from his misfortunes, was forgotten
by her at this time, if they had not been previously pro-
vided for. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell had long been easy in
their circumstances, and old John Bilson, retired from labor
to dwell with a son who was well situated as a clerk, “ for
which he had been educated by madam,” now hobbled up
to the counting-house to make a nominal purchase, and
confer what he called “luck on the beginners,” and tell for
the thousandth time the history of that morning, “ when he
DECISION. 159

was the furst customer of that beautiful lady, who had been
the making of him and his.”

We hope that although the history of eur heroine is
brought down to that period when woman ceases to charm,
if’ not to interest, yet that some of our readers, aware of her
inestimable worth, and that mental energy, and acute but
well-regulated sensibility which preserve the mind and the
heart undecayed by time, unwithered by age, are desirous to
know “if Maria is yet alive.” *

To such we answer, she yet lives, in the best sense of the
word, — enjoying health, practising every active virtue,
and receiving from a wide eirele daily proofs of honor,
gratitude, and affection ; and at sixty enjoys the rare com-
fort “ of rocking the cradle of declining age” to that beloved
parent who is still likely to enjoy life a few years longer.
‘They are surrounded by the young who love them, the old
who respect them, the poor who bless them. Mrs. Maria,
released from the trammels of business, enjoys her leisure
with a zest those who have never known the restraints of
employment cannot well imagine, and frequently surprises
her friends (who know how much her time is occupied by
her mother and the various classes who seek her advice or
assistance) by the works she has lately read, the lessons she
has bestowed on little Frank Ingalton, or the daughter of
Mrs. Trevannion, whom she looks upon as her grand-
children. tf

With these lessons, which are only the outward adorn-
ments of the structure, it will be readily believed that such
a woman never fails to inculcate the pure precepts of re-
ligious morality, the true heroism of self-renunciation, the
wisdom of integrity, the dignity of self-control, and the
necessity many situations in life present for acting with
firmness, resolution, and perseverance. Her mind stored by
observation and mellowed by time, she yet seldom touches
on this subject without earnestly entreating her hearers to

* This Tale is founded on facts.
169 DECISION.

guard themselves from mistaking obstinacy of temper for
firmness of mind—to remember that, in early life, submis-
gion and obedience are virtues more generally demanded
than those of a sterner character, and that woman through
life is generally called upon to practise them. “Yet,” she
will add, “woman, as an intellectual and accountable being,
gifted with reason and capable of exertion, the first guide of
man’s infancy, the general influencer of his youth, and the
companion of his manhood, ought to be no stranger to the
importance nor the practice of any virtue demanded by our
common nature; and, whether relatively or individually
considered, cannot fail to find that her virtue and her happi-
ness must depend on her Decrston.”
