it appeared that Charles had heard�察�but had woven the announcement into 

a dream。



This concert filled Guy's head。 His only grief was that it was to be in 

the evening�察�so that Charles could not go to it�察�and his wonder was not 

repressed at finding that Philip did not mean to favour it with his 

presence�察�since Guy would suffice for squire to Mrs。 Edmonstone and her 

daughters。 



In fact�察�Philip was somewhat annoyed by the perpetual conversation 

about the concert�察�and on the day on which it was to take place 

resolved on making a long expedition to visit the ruins of an old 

abbey�察�far out of all reports of it。  As he was setting out�察�he was 

greeted�察�in a very loud voice�察�by Mr。 Gordon。



'Hollo�察�Morville� �how are you�拭 �So you have great doings to´night�察�I 

hear��' and he had only just forced himself from him�察�when he was again 

accosted�察�this time in a hasty�察�embarrassed manner��



'I beg your pardon�察�sir�察�but the ties of relationship'



He drew himself up as if he was on parade�察�faced round�察�and replied 

with an emphatic 'Sir��' as he behold a thin�察�foreign´looking man�察�in a 

somewhat flashy style of dress�察�who�察�bowing low�察�repeated 

breathlessly��



'I beg your pardonSir Guy Morville�察�I believe��'



'Captain Morville�察�sir��'



'I beg your pardonI mistook。 A thousand pardons��' and he retreated�察�

while Philip�察�after a moment's wonder�察�pursued his walk。



The Hollywell party entered Broadstone in a very different temper�察�and 

greatly did they enjoy the concert�察�both for themselves and for each 

other。  In the midst of it�察�while Amy was intent on the Italian words 

of a song�察�Guy touched her hand�察�and pointed to a line in the 

programme





          Solo on the violin 。 。 。 。 MR。 S。 B。 DIXON。





She looked up in his face with an expression full of inquiry�察�but it 

was no time for speaking�察�and she only saw how the colour mantled on 

his cheek when the violinist appeared�察�and how he looked down the whole 

time of the performance�察�only now and then venturing a furtive though 

earnest glance。



He did not say anything till they were seated in the carriage�察�and then 

astonished Mrs。 Edmonstone by exclaiming



'It must be my uncle��I am sure it must。  I'll ride to Broadstone the 

first thing to´morrow�察�and find him out。'



'Your uncle��' exclaimed Mrs。 Edmonstone。  'I never thought of that。'



S。 B。 Dixon��' said Guy。  'I know his name is Sebastian。  It cannot be 

any one else。  You know he went to America。  How curious it is�  �I 

suppose there is no fear of his being gone before I can come in to´

morrow。'



'I should think not。  Those musical people keep late hours。'



'I would go before breakfast。  Perhaps it would be best to go to old 

Redford�察�he will know all about him�察�or to the music´shop。  I am so 

glad�  �It is the very thing I always wished。'



'Did you��' said Mrs。 Edmonstone to herself。  'I can't say every one 

would be of your mind�察�but I can't help liking you the better for it。  

I wish the man had kept further off。  I wish Mr。 Edmonstone was at 

home。  I hope no harm will come of it。  I wonder what I ought to do。  

Shall I caution him�拭 �No�察�I don't think I can spoil his happinessand 

perhaps the man may be improved。  He is his nearest relation�察�and I 

have no right to interfere。  His own good sense will protect himbut I 

wish Mr。 Edmonstone was at home。'



She therefore did not check his expressions of delight�察�nor object to 

his going to Broadstone early the next morning。  He had just dismounted 

before the inn´yard�察�when a boy put a note into his hand�察�and he was so 

absorbed in its contents�察�that he did not perceive Philip till after 

two greetings had passed unheard。  When at length he was recalled�察�he 

started�察�and exclaimed�察�rapturously�察�as he put the note into his 

cousin's hand��



'See hereit is himself��'



'Who��'



'My uncle。  My poor mother's own brother。'



'Sebastian Bach Dixon��' read Philip。  'Ha� �it was he who took me for 

you yesterday。'



'I saw him at the concertI was sure it could be no other。  I came in 

on purpose to find him�察�and here he is waiting for me。  Is not it a 

happy chance��'



'Happy��' echoed Philip�察�in a far different tone。



'How I have longed for thisfor any one who could remember and tell me 

of herof my mothermy poor�察�dear young mother�  �And her own brother�  �

I have been thinking of it all night�察�and he knows I am here�察�and is as 

eager as myself。  He is waiting for me��' ended Guy�察�hurrying off。



'Stop��' said Philip�察�gravely。  'Think before acting。  I seriously 

advise you to have nothing to do with this man�察�at least personally。  

Let me see him�察�and learn what he wants。'



'He wants me��' impatiently answered Guy。  'You are not his nephew。'



'Thank heaven��' thought Philip。  'Do you imagine your relationship is 

the sole cause of his seeking you��'



'I don't knowI don't care��' cried Guy�察�with vehemence。  'I will not 

listen to suspicions of my mother's brother。'



'It is more than suspicion。  Hear me calmly。  I speak for your good。  I 

know this man's influence was fatal to your father。  I know he did all 

in his power to widen the breach with your grandfather。'



'That was eighteen years ago��' said Guy�察�walking on�察�biting his lip in 

a fiery fit of impatience。



'You will not hear。  Remember�察�that his position and associates render 

him no fit companion for you。  Nay�察�listen patiently。  You cannot help 

the relationship。  I would not have you do otherwise than assist him。  

Let him not complain of neglect�察�but be on your guard。  He will either 

seriously injure you�察�or be a burden for life。'



'I have heard you so farI can hear no more��' said Guy�察�no longer 

restraining his impetuosity。  'He is my uncle�察�that I know�察�I care for 

nothing else。  Positionnonsense� �what has that to do with it�拭 �I will 

not be set against him。'



He strode off�察�but in a few moments turned back�察�overtook Philip�察�said´

´



'Thank you for your advice。  I beg your pardon for my hastiness。  You 

mean kindly�察�but I must see my uncle。'  And�察�without waiting for an 

answer�察�he was gone。



In short space he was in the little parlour of the music´shop�察�shaking 

hands with his uncle�察�and exclaiming��



'I am so glad�  �I hoped it was you��'



'It is very noble´hearted�  �I might have known it would be so with the 

son of my dearest sister and of my generous friend��' cried Mr。 Dixon�察�

with eagerness that had a theatrical air�察�though it was genuine feeling 

that filled his eyes with tears。



'I saw your name last night' continued Guy。  'I would have tried to 

speak to you at once�察�but I was obliged to stay with Mrs�察�Edmonstone�察�

as I was the only gentleman with her。'



'Ah�  �I thought it possible you might not be able to follow the dictate 

of your own heart�察�but this is a fortunate conjuncture�察�in the absence 

of your guardian。'



Guy recollected Philip's remonstrance�察�and it crossed him whether his 

guardian might be of the same mind�察�but he felt confident in having 

told all to Mrs。 Edmonstone。



'How did you know I was here��' he asked。



'I learnt it in a most gratifying way。  Mr。 Redford�察�without knowing 

our connectionfor on that I will always be silentmentioned that the 

finest tenor he had ever known�察�in an amateur�察�belonged to his pupil�察�

Sir Guy Morville。  You can imagine my feelings at finding you so near�察�

and learning that you had inherited your dear mother's talent and 

taste。'



The conversation was long�察�for there was much to hear。  Mr。 Dixon had 

kept up a correspondence at long intervals with Markham�察�from whom he 

heard that his sister's child survived�察�and was kindly treated by his 

grandfather�察�and inquiring again on the death of old Sir Guy�察�learnt 

that he was gone to live with his guardian�察�whose name�察�and residence 

Markham had not thought fit to divulge。  He had been much rejoiced to 

hear his name from the music´master�察�and he went on to tell how he had 

been misled by the name of Morville into addressing the captain�察�who 

had a good deal of general resemblance to Guy's father�察�a fine tall 

young man�察�of the same upright�察�proud deportment。  He supposed he was 

the son of the Archdeacon�察�and remembering how strongly his own 

proceedings had been discountenanced at Stylehurst�察�had been much 

disconcerted�察�and deeming the encounter a bad omen�察�had used more 

caution in his advances to his nephew。  It was from sincere affection 

that he sought his acquaintance�察�though very doubtful as to the 

reception he might meet�察�and was both delighted and surprised at such 

unembarrassed�察�open´hearted affection。



The uncle and nephew were not made to understand each other。  Sebastian 

Dixon was a man of little education�察�and when�察�in early youth�察�his 

talents had placed him high in his own line�察�he had led a careless�察�

extravagant life。  Though an evil friend�察�and fatal counsellor�察�he had 

been truly attached to Guy's father�察�and the secret engagement�察�and 

runaway marriage with his beautiful sister�察�had been the romance of his 

life�察�promoted by him with no selfish end。  He was a proud and 

passionate man�察�and resenting Sir Guy's refusal to receive his sister 

as a daughter�察�almost as much as Sir Guy was incensed at the marriage�察�

had led his brother´in´law to act in a manner which cut off the hope of 

reconciliation�察�and obliged Archdeacon Morville to give up his cause。  

He had gloried in supporting his sister and her husband�察�and enabling 

them to set the old baronet at defiance。  But young Morville's 

territorial pride could not brook that he should be maintained�察�and 

especially that his child�察�the heir of Redclyffe�察�should be born while 

he was living at the expense of a musician。  This feeling�察�aided by a 

yearning for home�察�and a secret love for his father�察�mastered his 

resentment�察�he took his resolution�察�quarrelled with Dixon�察�and carried 

off
