“Ah! you will want money, I suppose.”
“No, I believe that I have plenty of money of my own now.”
“Oh! yes, under your marriage settlement, no doubt. Well, my dear, I am sure I hope that your journey will not be in vain. Did I tell you I have also written to Mr. Heigham by this mail, and told him all I knew about the matter?”
“That is very kind and thoughtful of you; it is just like you,” answered Angela, gently.
“Not at all, not at all; but you have never told me how you got on with Lady Bellamy—that is, except what she told you about Mr. Heigham.”
“Oh! it was a strange interview. What do you think she wanted to teach me?”
“I have not the faintest idea.”
“Magic.”
“Nonsense.”
“Yes, she did; she told me that she could read all sorts of things in my face, and offered, if I would give myself up to it, to make me more than human.”
