Viewed in a strong light, the three articles took on real significance. The spectacles I fancied were Miss Emily's. They were, to all appearances, the duplicates of those on her tidy bedside stand. But the handkerchief was not hers. Even without the scent, which had left it, but clung obstinately to the pages of the book, I knew it was not hers. It was florid, embroidered, and cheap.
The outline is still present, but the fearful details, which in the darkness of the hour, and the freshness of conception, so scared and alarmed us, these have vanished with the night. Emily's wedding day drew nigh, and the faces of the household once more looked bright and cheerful. A Wedding.
She did not reply her lip quivered, and she pressed Emily's hand and kissed her. "He is impatient to see you," resumed Emily, "and if you are so disposed, we will go up immediately." "I will remain here," observed Mr. Bates, "unless Mr. Garie particularly desires to see me. My daughter will accompany you." Emily took the hand of little Birdie in her own, and they walked together up the stairway.
Valancourt was, of course, Emily's partner, and though, when he gave a look to the decorations of the apartments, he could not but remember, that they were designed for other festivities, than those they now contributed to celebrate, he endeavoured to check his concern by considering, that a little while only would elapse before they would be given to their original destination.

In silent astonishment, Emily continued to gaze alternately upon the picture and the dying nun, endeavouring to trace a resemblance between them, which no longer existed. 'Why do you look so sternly on me? said Agnes, mistaking the nature of Emily's emotion. 'I have seen this face before, said Emily, at length; 'was it really your resemblance?

A modest and self-distrusting nature, like that of Lucy's, would be very apt to turn to any other than herself in quest of the original of my picture. These letters occupied me for hours.
