96 A SEQUEL TO LXIIL. Lord Henry, with a view to a divorce, ’Gainst Juan brought an action for crim con: Wrackem and Wrench, his lawyers, did of course Lay damages and costs most thickly on. | This last amour turned out a fertile source Of miseries ;—but the severest one, And that for which he very deeply grieved, Was the ensuing note that he received :— LXIV., “The Lady Pinchbeck presents compliments To Senor Juan, and takes leave to state, For Miss Rose Delacour, that the events Which have unpleasantly occurred of late, Have wrought a painful feeling which prevents All future correspondence from this date. Miss Delacour—though deeply she deplore The step—can ne’er see Senor Juan more. LXV. ‘The Lady Pinchbeck farther begs to say, That her maternal care she shall preserve Towards the little Leila ;—and she’ll pray For Senor Juan to strain every nerve To wipe the stigma from his name away ; And that in future he may never swerve From the right road which persons of his quality Should keep from prudence, if not from morality.” ‘comichbooksncom
