Excerpt from Heraline, or Opposite Proceedings, Vol. 2 of 4 But still many things called for consideration; and many more called for it from Colonel Wan ston, than the baroness thought worth attention. His delicacy for the poor persecuting idiot-girl, made him, he said, perhaps too demanding on the point of secrecy: at his military station he was safe; but should the poor pitiable creature hear that any of his friends were near him, she would inevitably-find her way to them, and might be very troublesome. Of no one was she more likely to conceive a jealousy than of Lady Lynford; there fore it would be of importance to let every thing appear, as much as possible, connected with the viscountess, who, he did not doubt, as a security against the mischiefs of gossipping, would com pose her household of her own servants, leaving Lady Lynford's to await her return to town.'
