Temple, "this is no time for explanations: make haste and dress yourself, and follow me down to tea." Mr. Mountague was engaged to drink tea with Mrs. Temple. How many reflections sometimes pass rapidly in the mind in the course of a few minutes! "I am weak, ridiculous, and unjust," said Helen to herself.
