"At your service, sir, answered Burchel, with an air of embarrassment and hesitation. "It was not altogether the right thing, methinks, to leave us all without saying why, or wherefore, and stay out all night. Why we thought you had been murdered. My niece here has been in hysterics. "'Pon honour, cried sir Charles, you are very facetious. But we heard, Mr. Burchel, you were ran away with.
In the mean time, a peasant, who at a distance was witness to the violence committed upon Burchel, and had traced him to the house of Olivia, carries the account of what he had seen to Raymond Place. The company, which, in the absence of lord Raymond, consisted of Louisa, Mr. Bromley, an uncle, Sir Charles Somerville, a suitor, and Mr.
"Olivia stood in a posture firm and collected, her bosom heaving with resentment; but her face was covered with blushes, and her eyes were languishing and sorrowful. "For the present unfortunate affair I will acknowledge the truth. Mr. Burchel to me appeared endowed with every esteemable accomplishment, brave, generous, learned, imaginative, and tender.
Bromley immediately entered; Mr. Townshend followed; Burchel brought up the rear. "My dearest creature, cried Louisa, do not be alarmed. We are come to wish you joy; and seized one of her hands. "Well, but where's the parson? exclaimed Bromley What, has grace been said, the collation served, and the cloth removed? Upon my word, you have been very expeditious, Miss.
As there is no imitation, so there are not two expressions in the work, that can lead from one to the other. Louisa is more amiable than the former, and more delicate and feminine than the latter. Mr. Burchel, the happy lover, is an author, a young man of infinite genius, of romantic honour, of unbounded generosity.
Burchel advanced irresolutely a few steps towards the company, bowed, and was silent. "The person that first entered was Mr. Bromley. He instantly seized hold of Burchel, and shook him very heartily by the hand. "Ha, my boy, said he, have we found you? Well, and how? safe and sound? Eh? clapping him upon the shoulder.
Burchel; I never meant you any harm: and in saying this, she advanced two steps forward, and laid her hand on his. "Burchel, without knowing what he did, fell on one knee and kissed it. "This action revived the confusion of Olivia; she retreated, and Louisa took hold of her arm. Will you retire, said Louisa? You are a sweet good creature.
Townshend, a sarcastic wit, determine to set off the next morning for the house of the ravisher. This is the scene which follows. "Alarmed at the bustle upon the stairs, Olivia, more dead than alive, pressed the hand of Burchel with a look of inexpressible astonishment and mortification, and withdrew to the adjoining apartment. "The door instantly flew open.
The Hottentots are adjudged atheistic on the testimony of Le Vaillant, in spite of the united witness of Kolben, Saar, Tachard, Boeving, and Campbell. The Kaffirs are declared to be destitute of religion on the statements of Burchel, while Livingstone and Cazalis have given clear accounts of the religion of the different Kaffir tribes.
Trembling at every leaf, and agonized at the smallest accident, she is yet capable, from singularity of thinking, of enterprises the most bold and unaccountable. Conformably to this temper, struck with the character of Burchel, and ravished with his address and behaviour, she plans the most extraordinary attempt upon his person.
