Excerpt from The Novels of William Harrison Ainsworth, Vol. 19: The Miser's Daughter, Volume II
But it must not be imagined she was perfectly tranquil. On the contrary, she was haunted by the recollection of Randulph, who had made a much deeper impression on her heart than she had at first supposed; and though she had made the strongest efforts to banish his image from her thoughts, they were unsuccessful The very jealousy she had experienced increased the ¿ame and her casual en counter with him, as she was returning from Lady Brabazon's, tended to keep it alive. She saw nothing of him and heard nothing of him, except that her father now and then told her, with a bitter sneer, that he had become excessively dissipated. But she now began to find excuses for him, and blamed herself for having acted harshly towards him on their last interview. Her solitary life, too, contributed to foster her passion. She had little to dwell on besides him, and his image being most frequently presented to her imagination, insensibly became linked with her affections.
