We saw at a short distance, the pass which so enraptured us the night before, but we resisted the temptation to revisit it, lest the glare of light might disenchant us of those sublime impressions of beauty it had made on our minds. We found a most comfortable dinner on our arrival, for which we could not account.
"I know Miss Mohun Jane infers it, but I don't like to build upon it." "I should build on most inferences that Jane Mohun ventured to make known," said Geraldine, smiling; "and Paulina's fate is pretty well fixed, I suppose!" "Dear child, she has never had any other purpose since I first knew her thoroughly, and I do not think her present stay at Dearport will disenchant her.
Of course, the fact that he saved her life has cast a glamour of romance around him Violet is very impressionable and it may take time to disenchant her. I hope that nurse was vigilant and did not allow her to see much of him; however, one thing is sure, she won't get a chance to see him henceforth." Mrs.
I warned him of the punishment that would follow if he were caught. He gloried in the risk he ran. I told him it was wicked to steal even for other persons.
