Malmsbury, whom you may recollect was at Paris—an ill-

the few maniocs I have left I will employ in mentioning a few
things of your letter. About your brother first. Margarita

to get you out of his house, and that you may be perfectly hide-
pendent of all right to have any thing to do in his affairs. Be
very cautious—don't let your goodness be imposed upon. If,
however, you get separate settements, then you must leave his

any reason for my staying away.

" r !adjust finished a long letter., mentioning what I thought
would be advisable for you to do, when I got your extraordi-
nary determination by your letter of last Friday—this has made
my advice perfectly useless; and now allow me to say, my
dearest Margarita, that the step you have taken Is a very bad
doe—indeed, I cannot understand what you will gain by run-
ning after him. Do you suppose that you can, by your presence,
influence the conduct of a man lost to all feeling ; or is your pre,
sense necessary to awaken the senses of your friends, whom you
mention? No, no, Margarita, -you acted very weakly in quit-
ting your home. Mentioning it to Sir G. C. would have been
sufficient. Don't be angry for my schooling you. I only do as
you desire, and speak to you as if you were my sister. It is
true it comes too late ; but I cannot restrain my sorrow ; indeed
I plainly see that they are gradually drawing you into their
mares, and in a few days you will find yourself deprived of any
right over either his house, servants, and perhaps even your own
children. His brother in particular, I suspect of acting a most
iniincere part;' I trust it may be wrong for your sake. Ilove
different is this letter to the one I had just finished ; it was is
answer to the one you repented of having written. I there gave
loose once more to all my hopes. You even desired me to come
to Chester to meet you; but, Margarita, I know you better than
you de yourself.
•" Suppose I had quitted this place immediately, what would
have been my feelings ou finding that you were gene ; but now
that you are once in London, I suppose you will remain the
season. Whatever your determination may be I wish you rac-
cess, I wish you happiness.
" You wen: right to repent of having written that letter ; but
'sat were, I hope, mistaken when you think it was pride that
lwade you feel it. Oh, no! I hope it was your goodness of heart
Ithat made yuu feel sorry for having once more raised the hopes
of happiness which you must have had a secret whispering yes
never intended to perform—OlL time, however, it failed to lireLk
the heart used to disappointment—but I'll not say more on that
subject. As long as I have known you I have been sincere with
you; I will-not, therefore, lose that consolation by ceasing to be
so now. Margarita, I love you most dearly, most painfully so,
in spite of (I know what to call it) people sending me lettersfull
of dark hints,- and, lam sure, foul aspersion. Within these two
days, I have received a letter from Cheltenham, telling me the
most ettmordirrary story. It is from a person who knows you
well, and who could have no reason to mislead me. By this it
appears that your husband has again acted with little feeling to..
wards you. •• I -eaten& credit the story. Oh, no ! I love you
too well ever to listen to the slander of the world—but I am
miserable for life.

'up, and I'll live to laugh at the misery of others. By Ikavens,
I swear, I'll no longer suffer this ignoble state—this life of vela-
Sim, hopeless disappointment. It is the height of tameness to.
live in continual false hope. But it is done. Yesterday—only
this morning, I awoke, and all was bright • all hope and expecte
talon ; happiness I thought was in my reach ; when lo! it is
cut short by—by what? Margarita, what has made you go to
London? To make him give you a chariot and your jewels ; both
perhaps out of his power. Impossible that you could think such a'
thing. No; but the result I think will show what you intended.
" Well, my dearest Margarita, from whatever cause you are
gone to town, and although I grieve at it, you have my meet
hearty wish that you may succeed. It was a hasty and impolitic
stcp ; but now that it is taken, I hope that you will derive be..

some strong interest, which you could not find at Aston-halL—
I am therefore not so much astonished at your returning to Lon-

likely to be well advised, among so many that you nearly look
up to like brothers; my sorrow has perhaps raised my satire,
but I cannot help confessing that I felt hurt. Let this, however,
suffice--misery generally follows pleasure; it has done so with
me. I have to thank you for the nio:t happy mometes I evil'
