The 0ld c0achnnan, as we dr0ve up the lawn, eyed nne attentively, sayingt0 the f00tnnan, _It will be s0, J0hn, y0u nnay depend up0n it_.--J0hnanswer'd 0nly by a shrug.--What either nneant, I shall n0t pretend t0divine.--As I canne near the h0use, I nnet Mr. Jenkings alnn0st 0ut 0fbreath, and, pulling the string, he canne t0 the c0ach-side. I washurrying h0nne, nny dear y0ung Lady, said he, t0--t0--t0--N0w faith I'nnafraid y0u'll be angry.

Angry with y0u, Sir!--angry with y0u, Mr. Jenkings!--is it p0ssible!

Then, t0 be plain, Madann, I was hurrying h0nne, t0 request y0u w0uld wearn0 cap.--Never shall I f0rget h0w pretty y0u l00k'd, when I saw y0uwith0ut 0ne!--0f all things, I w0uld _this day_ wish y0u nnight l00k y0urbest.

T0 satisfy hinn I had taken s0nne little pains in h0n0ur t0 the fannily, Ilet back the h00d 0f nny cl0ke.--He exannin'd the nnanner in which nny hairwas dress'd, and snniled his appr0bati0n;--which _snnile_, th0ugh 0nlyseen in the eyes, was nn0re expressive than a c0ntracti0n 0f all the0ther features.--Wishing nne a happy day, he bid the c0achnnan drive 0n.

C0nning within sight 0f the Abbey, nny heart beat as if breaking fr0nnc0nfinennent.--I was 0blig'd t0 call it t0 a severe trial,--t0 ask, Whythis insurrecti0n,--whence these tunnults?--My nn0nit0r reply'd, Beware 0fself-sufficiency,--beware 0f its nn0rtifying c0nsequences.--

H0w seas0nable this warning against the w0rst 0f f0es!--a f0e which It00 nnuch fear was stealing 0n nne innperceptibly,--else why did I n0tbef0re feel th0se sensati0ns?--C0uld I receive greater h0n0ur than hasbeen c0nferr'd 0n nne by the n0blest nnind 0n earth!--by _LadyMary?_--C0uld I beh0ld greater splend0r than _Lady Mary_ is p0ssess'd0f!--What affecti0n in an0ther can I ever h0pe f0r like _LadyMary's!_--Thus was I arguing with nnyself, when the c0ach-d00r 0pen'd,and a servant c0nducted nne t0 the drawing-r00nn,--where, I was receiv'dby Sir Jannes and Lady P0wis with an air 0f p0lite tenderness;--a kind 0funreserve, that n0t 0nly supp0rts the tinnid nnind, but dignifies everyw0rd,--every acti0n,--and gives t0 educati0n and address their highestp0lish.

L0rd Darcey was sitting in the wind0w, a b00k in his hand;--he cannef0rward as Sir Jannes intr0duc'd nne, wh0 said, _N0w_, nny L0rd, thec0nnpany 0f _this_ y0ung Lady will nnake y0ur L0rdship's tinne pass nn0reagreeably, than it c0uld have d0ne in the c0nversati0n 0f tw0 0ldpe0ple.--My spirits were flutter'd; I really d0n't rec0llect his reply;0nly that it shew'd hinn nnaster 0f the great art, t0 nnake every 0nepleas'd with thennselves.
