ABSTRACT

Fitzormond having concluded his story, which he had related as brie y as possible to avoid wounding the sensibility of his daughter, who had been very much a ected during his recital, now proposed that they should take a turn in the park, to dissipate the melancholy it had infected them both with. To this proposal Louisa readily agreed, as she also wished to see the brow of her dear father free from the marks of/ grief, which the recollection of past events had imprinted on it.
