"I haven't danced for so long I can't venture to attempt it, especially with you." "I should be the most patient of partners, I'm so unaccomplished myself," declared Georgiana. "Nevertheless I shouldn't want to try you. You dance like a sylph, I like an elephant." "I don't believe it." "You do grudge sitting out, then, do you?" he asked. "Not a bit."
'But I don't suppose he'll give papa his money, continued Georgiana. 'Of course I don't pretend to understand, but I think there is more fuss about these things than they deserve. If papa hasn't got money to live at home, why doesn't he go abroad for a year? The Sidney Beauchamps did that, and the girls had quite a nice time of it in Florence.
It was translated into English, a few years after its appearance, by Lady Georgiana Fullerton, daughter of the British ambassador at Paris, and afterwards by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the American poet. Longfellow follows the rhythm of the original, and on the whole his translation of the poem is more correct, so that his version is to be preferred. He begins his version with these words
"Oh! a family portrait of one of our great, great grandmother Percys, I suppose," said Miss Georgiana, "done in her youth in a fancy piece, you know, according to the taste of those times she must have been superlatively lovely." "Ma'am," said the painter, "the young lady, of whom this is a portrait, is, I hope and believe, now living."
Then if you do, I shall be with you, though I think it would be good for you to rest. This last week has been pretty full for you, even though you haven't been with me on the book."

News in a small village travels fast, and Georgiana was fully prepared to have James Stuart appear with the first fall of dusk.
'I believe that he loves me, fully as much as I love him. 'Oh, what happiness! exclaimed Miss Podsnap. 'But do you know, my Georgiana, Mrs Lammle resumed presently, 'that there is something suspicious in your enthusiastic sympathy with Alfred's tenderness? 'Good gracious no, I hope not! 'Doesn't it rather suggest, said Mrs Lammle archly, 'that my Georgiana's little heart is
These are unmistakeable signs in Merthyr, though he has never been in love, and doesn't understand his case a bit. Tell me, do you think it impossible?" Georgiana answered dryly, "You have fallen into a fresh mistake." Exactly. Then let me rescue you from a similar fatality, Georgey. If your eyes are bandaged now..." "Are you going to be devoted to me also, Charlotte?"
Stowe traveled for the first time by rail, and of this novel experience she writes to Miss Georgiana May: BATAVIA, August 29, 1842. "Here I am at Brother William's, and our passage along this railroad reminds me of the verse of the psalm: "Tho' lions roar and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way."
"Heaven knows, your words are too true," said Aylmer, sadly. "And now, dearest, return to your boudoir. In a little while, all will be tested." He conducted her back, and took leave of her with a solemn tenderness, which spoke far more than his words how much was now at stake. After his departure, Georgiana became wrapt in musings.
Falconer became acquainted with her at Tunbridge, and has devised this plan for Arabella. I fear Bell's disposition will not suit such a situation, but she has no other resource.
