Her own wants were all amalgamated in this one great desire of her heart--that her darling's poor torn spirit should be made happy.

She had wholly ceased to remember that she had ever wanted anything else.

It was for Miss Isabel that she desired the best rooms, the best carriages, the best of everything.

Even her love for Master Scott--poor dear young man!--depended largely upon the faculty he possessed for consoling and interesting Miss Isabel.

Anyone who did that earned Biddy's undying respect and gratitude.
