Just how, Sir Thomas did not mention, and the good secretary was too dazzled to inquire. As for Rebecca, it is hard to say how she felt. A crumb of her father's ambitious nature worked like leaven in her sweet girl-nature, and the flowery speeches and ornate manners of her titled admirer made a deep impression upon her inexperienced fancy. She liked the idea of being called My Lady, and of going to court and vying with duch- esses and marchionesses, every one of whom, as Sir Thomas assured her,... would wither with envy at sight of her transcendent beauty and incomparable toilets. And then she should help her father to the po- sition he so much craved ; and her brothers oh, there was no vanishing-point to the glittering vista opening before her eyes ! John ! Well, John was out of sight. He had sailed a few days before the engagement was an- nounced, and would not be back before the wed- ding. Ah, well ! Those childish follies could not last !
