It seemed to her that they had conferred an actual favour on her, in robbing her of twenty guineas, threatening her son's life, and finally letting him go. ** Who is that droll old gentleman ? '* said she ; and being told that it was Captain Wood, she dropped him a curtsey, and said, with much respect, " Captain, your very humble servant ; " which compliment Mr. Brock acknowledged by a gracious smile and bow. " And who is this pretty young lady ? " continued Mrs. Hayes. " Why — hum — oh — mothe...r, you must give her your blessing. She is Mrs. John Hayes." And here- with Mr. Hayes brought forward his interesting lady, to introduce her to his mamma. The news did not at all please the old lady; who received Mrs. Catherine's embrace with a very sour face indeed. However, the mischief was done; and she was too glad to get back her son to be, on such an occasion, very angry with him. So, after a proper re- buke, she told Mrs. John Hayes that though she never approved of her son's attachment, and thought he mar- ried below his condition, yet as the evil was done, it was their duty to make the best of it ; and she, for her part, would receive her into her house, and make her as comfortable there as she could.
