Is anything the matter with her?" cried Mrs. Dashwood, as she entered:- "is she ill?" 　　 "I hope not," he replied, trying to look cheerful; and with a forced smile presently added, "It is I who may rather expect to be ill- for I am now suffering under a very heavy disappointment!" 　　 "Yes, for I am unable to keep my engagement with you. Mrs. Smith has this morning exercised the privilege of riches upon a poor, dependent cousin, by sending me on business to London. I have just received my despatches, and taken my farewell of Allenham; and by way of exhilaration I am now come to take my farewell of you." 　　 "To London!- and are you going this morning?" 　　 "Almost this moment." 　　 "This is very unfortunate. But Mrs. Smith must be obliged; and her business will not detain you from us long, I hope." 　　 He coloured as he replied, "You are very kind; but I have no idea of returning into Devonshire immediately. My visits to Mrs. Smith are never repeated within the twelvemonth."
