ABSTRACT
The history of Miss Davies, as far as Sir Charles related it, struck Lady Audley with doubts which she knew not how to satisfy; there was something so incomprehensible in Lady Euston's partiality to a creature, introduced under such circumstances, that she almost questioned the propriety of re-uniting her brother to a woman who was so little under the guidance of reason; yet his pallid countenance, and desponding air, convinced her something ought to be done, either to wean him wholly from his wife, or reconcile them to each other.
