"Lady Anne's youngest unmarried daughter Geogiana."
"Has Glentworth, then, married a girl younger than that?"
"He has, my lord; but, though two years her junior, Mrs. Glentworth being dark, looks older; she is, also, somewhat the taller, I think."
"I suppose the match was of Lady Anne's making?"
"That Lady Anne wished Mr. Glentworth to marry one of her daughters cannot be doubted, but she expected the eldest would have been his choice, but poor Mary herself never thought of such a thing (God help her! she has neither heart nor eye for any man since one man misled her). In this affair, I must say Isabella was left to her own council entirely, for Lady Anne was as much surprised as I was, I really believe."
"So young, and so ambitious!" said the marquis, musingly.
"Not one of those young ladies can be called ambitious; they are innocent of all worldly and selfish passions. Isabella was almost in the nursery, as it were; Mr. Glentworth, though not young, was a handsome man, still in his prime, intelligent and very kind; no wonder she was charmed with him, poor thing!"
"And do you really believe, my good sir, the girl married him for love?"
"Upon my honour I do, my lord; and, as the father of three girls, all married to men of their own choice, I count myself pretty learned in symptoms."
