Jimin was sitting with his mother and siblings, reflecting on what he had heard, and doubting whether he was authorised to mention it, when Sir Byun Jaejoon himself appeared, sent by his daughter, to announce her engagement to the family. With many compliments to them, and much self-gratulation on the prospect of a connection between the houses, he unfolded the matter--to an audience not merely wondering, but incredulous; for Mrs. Park, with more perseverance than politeness, protested he must be entirely mistaken; and Aejin, always unguarded and often uncivil, boisterously exclaimed:
"Good Lord! Sir Jaejoon, how can you tell such a story? Do not you know that Minseok wants to marry Jiminie?"
Nothing less than the complaisance of a courtier could have borne without anger such treatment; but Sir Jaejoon's good breeding carried him through it all; and though he begged leave to be positive as to the truth of his information, he listened to all their impertinence with the most forbearing courtesy.
Jimin, feeling it incumbent on him to relieve him from so unpleasant a situation, now put himself forward to confirm his account, by mentioning his prior knowledge of it from Jisoo herself; and endeavoured to put a stop to the exclamations of his mother and sisters by the earnestness of his congratulations to Sir Jaejoon, in which he was readily joined by Taehyung, and by making a variety of remarks on the happiness that might be expected from the match, the excellent character of Minseok, and the convenient distance of Hunsford from London.
Mrs. Park was in fact too much overpowered to say a great deal while Sir Jaejoon remained; but no sooner had he left them than her feelings found a rapid vent. In the first place, she persisted in disbelieving the whole of the matter; secondly, she was very sure that Minseok had been taken in; thirdly, she trusted that they would never be happy together; and fourthly, that the match might be broken off. Two inferences, however, were plainly deduced from the whole: one, that Jimin was the real cause of the mischief; and the other that she herself had been barbarously misused by them all; and on these two points she principally dwelt during the rest of the day. Nothing could console and nothing could appease her. Nor did that day wear out her resentment. A week elapsed before she could see Jimin without scolding him, a month passed away before she could speak to Sir Jaejoon or Lady Byun without being rude, and many months were gone before she could at all forgive their daughter.
Mr. Park's emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion, and such as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort; for it gratified him, he said, to discover that Byun Jisoo, whom he had been used to think tolerably sensible, was as foolish as his mate, and more foolish than his son!
Taehyung confessed himself a little surprised at the match; but he said less of his astonishment than of his earnest desire for their happiness; nor could Jimin persuade him to consider it as improbable. So-min and Aejin were far from envying Miss Byun, for Kang Minseok was only a clergyman; and it affected them in no other way than as a piece of news to spread at Meryton.
