East Lynne

CHAPTER VIII
1/24


MR.

KANE'S CONCERT.
Before Lord Mount Severn had completed the fortnight of his proposed stay, the gout came on seriously.

It was impossible for him to move away from East Lynne.

Mr.Carlyle assured him he was only too pleased that he should remain as long as might be convenient, and the earl expressed his acknowledgments; he hoped soon to be re-established on his legs.
But he was not.

The gout came, and the gout went--not positively laying him up in bed, but rendering him unable to leave his rooms; and this continued until October, when he grew much better.
