“You excite my curiosity. I should like to see her.”
“I dare say you will have the opportunity. But you won't see her as Mrs. Charles Danvers.”
“Why not? They may still come to an understanding.”
“Well, if you can bring them together again, and prevail upon her to make a handsome settlement on Charley, you will do a great thing,” remarked Scrope, with a laugh.
“I will consider what can be done,” replied Lady Thicknesse. “Meantime, I will write and ask Charles to come and stay with me.”
Thus ended their conference.
