Another number, the customary double number,
containing preface, title-page, and frontispiece,
will bring to a conclusion this story about Alice
Vavasor. Not a pleasant story by any means. In
effect a story thus entitled could hardly be so for
that matter. The heroine's character, or perhaps
we ought rather to say, her conduct being so ex-
ceedingly questionable throughout. From this
eighteenth number of the tale we learn with disgust
rather than simply with indignation that poetical
justice, as it is called, is not to be satisfied in regard
to that double-dyed brute, bully, blackleg, black-
guard, we had almost said— George Vavasor. He
disappears from the scene without breaking his
neck, without even having a horsewhip broken
across his shoulders. And so disappearing from
our view scatheless andunpunished, George Vavasor
can only be thought of by the reader of the story
with an intensity of displeasure, amounting, as we
have said, to positive disgust. Of course, Alice is
to be married after all to that " tame rabbit boiled
to rags" (as Lord Jeffrey dubbed Wilfred), John
Grey of Nethercoats—and therefore, we presume,
that we shall be expected by the author in the end
to accord to his heroine our forgiveness !
