174 REYNOLDS’ WORKS brother and sister? Where are those whom we must now call the Duke of Marchmont and Lady Christina Vivian?” ‘““T left them alone together after that dreadful scene when their wretched relative fell at their feet and confessed his stupendous guilt. He was removed to the chamber up- stairs, and then I said enough to my young friends to make them comprehend how it was that they belonged to the ducal house of Marchmont, and that Christian was now the bearer of the proud title. Yes, I left that young brother and sister alone together, that they might weep for joy and for grief in each other’s arms, — for joy at this wondrous change in their circumstances, and for grief as they thought of their perished parents. I will now seek them, and before I retire to rest I will likewise see that unhappy lady re idea of whose grief fills my own heart with woe.’ ‘And I, with your Majesty’s permission, will at once repair to London” said Mr. Coleman, ‘‘ to communicate the results of this night’s proceedings to him who is sO deeply interested in them.” ‘ But not until his unhappy brother shall have breathed his last,’’ rejoined the queen, ‘‘ must you proclaim to the world how guilt has been made manifest and how inno- cence is vindicated.” Mr. Coleman bowed in acknowledgment of Indora’s com- mand, and he then took a respectful leave of the queen, who forthwith proceeded to the apartment where she had left Christian and Christina nearly an hour back.
