My father said nothing about her money; but he told me Miss Mason was the boast of Spanish Town for her beauty: and this was no lie.

I found her a fine woman, in the style of Blanche Ingram: tall, dark, and majestic.

Her family wished to secure me because I was of a good race; and so did she.
They showed her to me in parties, splendidly dressed.

I seldom saw her alone, and had very little private conversation with her.

She flattered me, and lavishly displayed for my pleasure her charms and accomplishments.
