But should detraction breathe thy name, / The world's reproofs defying; / I'd love thee, laud thee -- trust thee still -- / Upon thy truth relying. / HAYNES BAYLEY.
Mr. de Burgh's return was somewhat opportunely delayed until the day / following the one on which he was expected, so that Mary had only for / one evening to maintain the, to her, very repugnant and unaccustomed / system of concealment and comparative dissimulation, to which she was / reduced towards her kind and amiable relative, a course she was ably / assisted in by his wife. The following morning brought a note from / Trevor, written overnight, and despatched before breakfast by a servant; / the substance of which was of a most satisfactory nature.
