IT was little more than one o’clock when she entered Dumfries; and having recollected that Mrs. Delaval lived with a family, named Macdoual, she soon discovered their abode, and drove immediately to the house. It was a neat little mansion, and every thing about it seemed, as Nancy said, in such grand apple-pie order, that it gave Rosella a strong idea of that extreme attention to cleanliness and form, which usually excludes ease and rest.
