ABSTRACT

Rosalie now saw the beloved parent, whom she yet dared not own, every day; and the discovery of her marriage with Montalbert, which she had so much dreaded, had been the means of procuring her the knowledge of the blessing she possessed in a mother, who now secretly indulged all the tenderness of her heart. The eldest Miss Vyvian, now Mrs. Bosworth, was still at the family seat of her husband with her sister, and her father was gone into the north during the recess of parliament; no impediment, therefore, existed at present against Rosalie’s passing almost all her time with Mrs. Vyvian, and so happy did this indulgence make her, that, had Montalbert been in England, she would hardly had a wish left ungratified.
