She is still the same character, haughty and insolent. Her sister Isabella, is improving in all the graces of mind and person; she is the general favourite of the school. Miss Bruce is becoming all that her father can desire. When Miss Damer went into the situation as a governess, it was with the hope of remaining some time, perhaps years.
Damer groaned, and acknowledged in her heart that she must, either dead or alive. "And, Jefferson," said Fanny, whispering for there had been a moment since their descent in which she had been instructed to call him by his Christian name "never mind talking to me going home. I will ride by mamma.

Colonel Damer, pray think of that, and take comfort. She is happier than you could make her."
