To no such folly would Sepia be a victim.
The analysis of such a nature as hers, with her story to set it forth, would require a book to itself, and I must happily content myself with but a fact here and there in her history.
In one of her rambles on his ground she had her desire, and met Godfrey Wardour.

He lifted his hat, and she stopped and addressed him by way of apology.
"I am afraid you think me very rude, Mr.Wardour," she said.

"I know I am trespassing, but this field of yours is higher than the ground about Durnmelling, and seems to take pounds off the weight of the atmosphere." For all he had gone through, Godfrey was not yet less than courteous to ladies.

He assured Miss Yolland that Thornwick was as much at her service as if it were a part of Durnmelling.

"Though, indeed," he added, with a smile, "it would be more correct to say, 'as if Durnmelling were a part of Thornwick'-- for that was the real state of the case once upon a time." The statement interested or seemed to interest Miss Yolland, giving rise to many questions; and a long conversation ensued.
