ABSTRACT

It was not without some emotions of sorrow that Emilia heard of the departure of Lord Montgomery. Highly sensible of the delicacy and generosity of his conduct towards her and his friend, and considering him almost as the adopted brother of Henry Beverley, she imagined she might have found much consolation from his company, and, by having a person with whom she could share the luxury of sorrow, alleviate the force of her anguish by giving it utterance.
