ABSTRACT

THE cruel suspense as to the extraordinary disappearance of Montague Thorold with Vavasour the evening before, lasted till near ten o’clock; when as Lady Horatia and Celestina were sitting at a breakfast table, where the uneasiness they were both under did not allow them to eat, a servant announced Captain Thorold. – Celestina turned pale as death at the name; but there was no time to express any part of the fear she felt before he entered.
