But
when
it
did
come
,
where
could
distress
be
found
?
“
I
have
had
no
difficulty
in
gaining
the
consent
of
my
kind
parents
,
and
am
promised
that
everything
in
their
power
shall
be
done
to
forward
my
happiness
,
”
were
the
first
three
lines
,
and
in
one
moment
all
was
joyful
security
.
The
brightest
glow
was
instantly
spread
over
Isabella
’
s
features
,
all
care
and
anxiety
seemed
removed
,
her
spirits
became
almost
too
high
for
control
,
and
she
called
herself
without
scruple
the
happiest
of
mortals
.
Mrs
.
Thorpe
,
with
tears
of
joy
,
embraced
her
daughter
,
her
son
,
her
visitor
,
and
could
have
embraced
half
the
inhabitants
of
Bath
with
satisfaction
.
Her
heart
was
overflowing
with
tenderness
.
It
was
“
dear
John
”
and
“
dear
Catherine
”
at
every
word
;
“
dear
Anne
and
dear
Maria
”
must
immediately
be
made
sharers
in
their
felicity
;
and
two
“
dears
”
at
once
before
the
name
of
Isabella
were
not
more
than
that
beloved
child
had
now
well
earned
.
John
himself
was
no
skulker
in
joy
.
He
not
only
bestowed
on
Mr
.
Morland
the
high
commendation
of
being
one
of
the
finest
fellows
in
the
world
,
but
swore
off
many
sentences
in
his
praise
.
The
letter
,
whence
sprang
all
this
felicity
,
was
short
,
containing
little
more
than
this
assurance
of
success
;
and
every
particular
was
deferred
till
James
could
write
again
.
But
for
particulars
Isabella
could
well
afford
to
wait
.
The
needful
was
comprised
in
Mr
.
Morland
’
s
promise
;
his
honour
was
pledged
to
make
everything
easy
;
and
by
what
means
their
income
was
to
be
formed
,
whether
landed
property
were
to
be
resigned
,
or
funded
money
made
over
,
was
a
matter
in
which
her
disinterested
spirit
took
no
concern
.
She
knew
enough
to
feel
secure
of
an
honourable
and
speedy
establishment
,
and
her
imagination
took
a
rapid
flight
over
its
attendant
felicities
.
She
saw
herself
at
the
end
of
a
few
weeks
,
the
gaze
and
admiration
of
every
new
acquaintance
at
Fullerton
,
the
envy
of
every
valued
old
friend
in
Putney
,
with
a
carriage
at
her
command
,
a
new
name
on
her
tickets
,
and
a
brilliant
exhibition
of
hoop
rings
on
her
finger
.
When
the
contents
of
the
letter
were
ascertained
,
John
Thorpe
,
who
had
only
waited
its
arrival
to
begin
his
journey
to
London
,
prepared
to
set
off
.
“
Well
,
Miss
Morland
,
”
said
he
,
on
finding
her
alone
in
the
parlour
,
“
I
am
come
to
bid
you
good
-
bye
.
”
Catherine
wished
him
a
good
journey
.
Without
appearing
to
hear
her
,
he
walked
to
the
window
,
fidgeted
about
,
hummed
a
tune
,
and
seemed
wholly
self
-
occupied
.
“
Shall
not
you
be
late
at
Devizes
?
”
said
Catherine
.
He
made
no
answer
;
but
after
a
minute
’
s
silence
burst
out
with
,
“
A
famous
good
thing
this
marrying
scheme
,
upon
my
soul
!
A
clever
fancy
of
Morland
’
s
and
Belle
’
s
.
What
do
you
think
of
it
,
Miss
Morland
?
I
say
it
is
no
bad
notion
.
”
“
I
am
sure
I
think
it
a
very
good
one
.
”
“
Do
you
?
That
’
s
honest
,
by
heavens
!
I
am
glad
you
are
no
enemy
to
matrimony
,
however
.
Did
you
ever
hear
the
old
song
’
Going
to
One
Wedding
Brings
on
Another
?
’
I
say
,
you
will
come
to
Belle
’
s
wedding
,
I
hope
.
”
“
Yes
;
I
have
promised
your
sister
to
be
with
her
,
if
possible
.
”
