You have seen the young lady in question, Colambre--Miss Broadhurst.

Don't you recollect the young lady I introduced you to last night after the opera ?' 'The little, plain girl, covered with diamonds, who was standing beside Miss Nugent ?' 'In di'monds, yes.

But you won't think her plain when you see more of her--that wears off; I thought her plain, at first--I hope--' 'I hope,' said Lord Colambre, 'that you will not take it unkindly of me, my dear mother, if I tell you, at once, that I have no thoughts of marrying at present--and that I never will marry for money.

Marrying an heiress is not even a new way of paying old debts--at all events, it is one to which no distress could persuade me to have recourse; and as I must, if I outlive old Mr.Quin, have an independent fortune, THERE IS NO occasion to purchase one by marriage.' 'There is no distress, that I know of, in the case,' cried Lady Clonbrony.

'Where is your imagination running, Colambre?
But merely for your establishment, your independence.' 'Establishment, I want none--independence I do desire, and will preserve.
