Sandra Belloni

CHAPTER XXVIII
4/25

This woman had not been found; she confessed that she had never seen her.
Georgians received Captain Gambier's communication in Monmouth.

Merthyr had now and then written of a Miss Belloni; but he had seemed to refer to a sort of child, and Georgians had looked on her as another Italian pensioner.

She was decisive.

The moment she awoke to feel herself brooding over the thought of this girl, she started to join Merthyr.
Solitude is pasturage for a suspicion.

On her way she grew persuaded that her object was bad, and stopped; until the thought came, 'If he is in a dilemma, who shall help him save his sister ?' And, with spiritually streaming eyes at a vision of companionship broken (but whether by his taking another adviser, or by Miss Belloni, she did not ask), Georgiana continued her journey.
At the door of Lady Gosstre's town-house she hesitated, and said in her mind, "What am I doing?
and what earthliness has come into my love for him ?" Or, turning to the cry, "Will he want me ?" stung herself.
