Lord Montreville, on hearing from his daughter what had passed between her and Emmeline, was disposed to hope, that since she was so willing to assist in terminating for ever the views of Delamere, they should be able to prevail on him to relinquish them. While Miss Delamere was with Emmeline, his Lordship had himself waited on Mrs. Stafford, to whom he thought himself obliged. He thanked her for the letter with which she had favoured him; and said, ‘that having heard of the great regard with which she honoured Miss Mowbray, he waited on her to beg her advice in the difficult circumstance. By six o’clock the next morning, Delamere was at Mrs. Watkins’s door; and nobody being visible but the maid servant, he entered the parlour, and told her he wanted to speak with Miss Mowbray; but would wait until she arose.
