My tears stopped; and I believe one or two smiles could not be checked as I remembered some look or word of Mr. Thorold's. I was to see him the next evening; and it would behove me to lose no time in telling him all the various matters I had wished him to understand. It seemed to me there was something to reconsider in my proposed communications.
