ABSTRACT

We have been very gay here the last few days b : the gallant and accomplished prince has been here. H”***, the witty H****, who is his favourite companion, introduced him; and he seems to much charmed with the old castle, its towers and battlements, and with its cynosure, 127 that I know not when he will be able to prevail upon himself to depart. To-morrow, he says; but so he has said these ten days: he cannot resist the entreaties of his kind host and hostess to stay another day. The soft accent of the beautiful Leonora will certainly detain him one day more, and her gracious smile will bereave him of rest for months to come. He had evidently fallen desperately in love with her. Now we shall see virtue in danger.
