Excerpt from Tales and Novels, Vol. 3

"But, my dear lady Di, indeed you should not let this affair prey so continually upon your spirits," said Miss Burrage, in the condoling tone of an humble companion: - "you really have almost fretted yourself into a nervous fever. I was in hopes that change of air, and change of scene, would have done every thing for you, or I never would have consented to your leaving London; for you know your ladyship"s always better in London than anywhere else. And I"m sure your ladyship has thought and talked of nothing but this sad affair since you came to Clifton."

"I confess," said Lady Diana Chillingworth, "I deserve the reproaches of my friends for giving way to my sensibility, as I do, upon this occasion: but I own I cannot help it. Oh, what will the world say! what will the world say! - The world will lay all the blame upon me; yet I"m sure I"m the last, the very last person that ought to be blamed."

"Assuredly," replied Miss Burrage, "nobody can blame your ladyship; and nobody will, I am persuaded. The blame will all be thrown, where it ought to be, upon the young lady herself."
