ABSTRACT

The day after the departure of Marchmont, the calm stillness of the morning tempted Althea to revisit the shore, which was in some measure a new object to her, and would now, she thought, afford her a melancholy pleasure. From thence she proposed walking to the cottage of Mrs. Mosely, with whom she wished to converse; and having procured such a direction from Wansford as was likely to be a sufficient guide, she set forth about one o’clock, intending to take a cold dinner at her return.
