70 A SEQUEL TO CLXX XIX. His brother, who was dean, he made a bishop— His uncle, who was major, raised to colonel ; And such a lot of cousins did he fish up To place in situations, that the journal Opposed to Ministers, began to dish up A series of abuse which seemed eternal, And which indeed came only to an end When he had no more cousins to befriend. CXC. The Lady Adeline, in a few days, Returned to town her husband’s state to share ; But there was something vacant in her gaze, And pensive in her manners and her air. ’Tis true, she mingled still in fashion’s maze, But her imagination was not there: — And vainly were her hopes renewed each day— Juan came not ! why kept he thus away ? CXCI. Had he and the new Minister fall’n out ?— Adeline thought that this must be the case ; And then she wondered what it was about, And sought in vain the mystery to trace. At times she sighed, and seemed inclined to pout, And gloom would settle on her pretty face, Because she dared not ask her husband whether Juan and he were still good friends together. cComicbooksrecom
