Portrait of Jonathan
“She was to start at the school in September and the following weeks seemed to disappear and it was August before she realised it. Much to her chagrin she found she would have to leave without seeing the Eldons again, and although Lady Melmoth wrote her a kind letter of affectionate good wishes and Giles penned a scribbled note, no word came from Jonathan. Not that she expected it, but she had hoped that in some way she might see him again—just once more—before she went away for a whole year. Na...turally, too, she would miss her grandfather of whom she was very fond, and the other three members of the Eldon family, but it was Jonathan who remained uppermost in her thoughts.
As the day of her departure grew nearer. Lord Rowan spent more and more time with Lavinia, and any fears she may have had that she was being sent away because she was an encumbrance upon him were dispelled. So obvious was his dismay at the thought of being parted from her so soon after having found her, that Lavinia, for a time, forgot her own sadness in trying to erase, or at least ease, his.MoreLess
