ABSTRACT
Here she was interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Martinius, who came to prepare her cautiously for an event, she imagined, totally unexpected: but, being informed by me of what had passed, she was agreeably surprised, and proposed accompanying Louisa to the/ drawing-room immediately. ey were just going, when Mrs. Fitzallan, Louisa’s mother, too impatient to wait the delay of a formal introduction, entered the room, followed by her son. And now, my Harriet, I must refer you to your own feeling mind for an idea of the scene which ensued; since I am utterly unable to describe it in any other way than by saying, all was surprise, joy, and rapturous incoherency.
