As
fate
would
have
it
then
,
Harry
Grant
and
his
two
companions
were
saved
.
John
Mangles
wedded
Mary
Grant
in
the
old
cathedral
of
St.
Mungo
,
and
Mr.
Paxton
,
the
same
clergyman
who
had
prayed
nine
months
before
for
the
deliverance
of
the
father
,
now
blessed
the
marriage
of
his
daughter
and
his
deliverer
.
Robert
was
to
become
a
sailor
like
Harry
Grant
and
John
Mangles
,
and
take
part
with
them
in
the
captain
's
grand
projects
,
under
the
auspices
of
Lord
Glenarvan
.
But
fate
also
decreed
that
Paganel
was
not
to
die
a
bachelor
?
Probably
so
.
The
fact
was
,
the
learned
geographer
after
his
heroic
exploits
,
could
not
escape
celebrity
.
His
blunders
made
quite
a
FURORE
among
the
fashionables
of
Scotland
,
and
he
was
overwhelmed
with
courtesies
.
It
was
then
that
an
amiable
lady
,
about
thirty
years
of
age
,
in
fact
,
a
cousin
of
McNabbs
,
a
little
eccentric
herself
,
but
good
and
still
charming
,
fell
in
love
with
the
geographer
's
oddities
,
and
offered
him
her
hand
.
Forty
thousand
pounds
went
with
it
,
but
that
was
not
mentioned
.
Paganel
was
far
from
being
insensible
to
the
sentiments
of
Miss
Arabella
,
but
yet
he
did
not
dare
to
speak
.
It
was
the
Major
who
was
the
medium
of
communication
between
these
two
souls
,
evidently
made
for
each
other
.
He
even
told
Paganel
that
his
marriage
was
the
last
freak
he
would
be
able
to
allow
himself
.
Paganel
was
in
a
great
state
of
embarrassment
,
but
strangely
enough
could
not
make
up
his
mind
to
speak
the
fatal
word
.
"
Does
not
Miss
Arabella
please
you
then
?
"
asked
McNabbs
.
"
Oh
,
Major
,
she
is
charming
,
"
exclaimed
Paganel
,
"
a
thousand
times
too
charming
,
and
if
I
must
tell
you
all
,
she
would
please
me
better
if
she
were
less
so
.
I
wish
she
had
a
defect
!
"
"
Be
easy
on
that
score
,
"
replied
the
Major
,
"
she
has
,
and
more
than
one
.
The
most
perfect
woman
in
the
world
has
always
her
quota
.
So
,
Paganel
,
it
is
settled
then
,
I
suppose
?
"
"
I
dare
not
.
"
"
Come
,
now
,
my
learned
friend
,
what
makes
you
hesitate
?
"
