ABSTRACT
Miss Hanbury continued to walk hastily, and I to attend her, without either of us uttering a syllable. The stern indignation which was pictured in her countenance, convinced me that every attempt to palliate my conduct would prove fruitless; I therefore consoled myself with the idea that, by accompanying her, I should discover the abode of Lady Aubrey; and I resolved to wait patiently for some future opportunity, when her mind should be more disposed to hear my extenuation. She stopped at a door in Lower Brooke-street, and knocking vehemently, it was presently opened by a servant, whose joy at seeing her was too evident to escape my notice. I bowed, and left her; she entered the house, and I hastened towards Hanover-square to explain the morning’s adventure.
