We have made the above remarks because we are unwilling by any omission to incur the reproach of being insensible to the feelings of our fellow-creatures. It is very true that Miss Glossop was vain, weak, and affected; it may also be very true that fools ought to take the consequences of their own folly. But it is cruel, mean, and illiberal, to make sport of a weak mind merely because it is weak; and none but such a puppy as Lord Spoonbill would have acted thus. Of the progress of the young lady and his lordship through the other apartments of the castle, we have nothing particular to record. Our readers will very naturally suppose that the dining and drawing rooms were decorated as profusely as the other rooms; and that as much approbation and delight were expressed by Miss Glossop in surveying them, as she had lavished on those apartments which she had passed through before. Many acknowledgments of his lordship’s politeness were made by the young lady when she took her leave of the castle, and very politely did his lordship express his high gratification that there had been anything in the castle worth her notice. With light and cheerful step did Miss Glossop return to Neverden, proud of the honor of her interview with Lord Spoonbill. Speedily but carefully did her recollection run over all that she had said to his lordship and all that his lordship had said to her. And her thoughts exulted in the anticipation of the pleasure which she should experience in quoting hereafter the opinion of Lord Spoonbill on various topics connected with the fine arts and literature. She was desirous of recollecting the subjects of as many of the pictures as she possibly could; but the specimens of the graphic art in Smatterton castle were so numerous, that it was not easy to recollect any great proportion of them. It was rather mortifying however that she could not call to mind any of the very greatest masters of the art; she had merely a confused recollection that the house was full of pictures done by some of the first masters. It was firmly fixed in her memory that the house was very splendid, and that the grand saloon, especially, looked like a blaze of gold. It was to her eye a scene of complete enchantment. On her return to Neverden, Miss Glossop communicated to Sir George Aimwell the particulars of her visit to Smatterton, and the worthy baronet was pleased with the politeness which Lord Spoonbill had displayed; and he said, “Spoonbill’s a good fellow.” Moreover, after dinner as well as at dinner, Miss Glossop descanted on the glories of Smatterton castle, and the fine taste of the heir to the Smatterton title and estate. And so fluent was the young lady’s eloquence, that she talked the worthy baronet to sleep ten minutes before his usual time.
