Now left alone, a long journey before him, and altogether uncertain what reception he should find at Paris, either from Dorilaus or mademoiselle Charlotta, his condition was extremely pityable, and he stood in need of more fortitude than could be expected from his years, to enable him to go thro' it.

This was some matter of affliction to Dorilaus, tho' in his heart he could not but approve those principles of honour which detained him. Neither the baron de Palfoy, nor Charlotta herself, could say he could well have acted otherwise, and used their utmost endeavours to comfort a father in his anxieties for the safety of so valuable a son.

What man but Dorilaus would behave thus to the creature of his benevolence? If I have any merits, do not I owe them to his goodness? My brother and myself, two poor exposed and wretched foundlings, what but his bounty rear'd us to what we are? Hard fate! unlucky passion that drives me from his presence and protection.

This last information gave not a little ease to the mind of him who heard it, and dissipated those apprehensions which the high character they gave of Dorilaus had, in spite of himself, excited in him: he now imagined that as they were English, his Louisa might possibly have been acquainted with the daughter of this gentleman in their own country, and meeting her at Paris, might have put herself under her protection.

Your father, madam! cried he; yes, answered she; in seeking a lover at Paris I found a father; Dorilaus is my father: I have acquainted him with all the particulars of our story, and, I believe, the sincere affection I have for you will not be less pleasing for receiving his sanction to it.

Poor Louisa concealed the distraction she was in as much as possible she could from the maid, who immediately came into the room on Dorilaus having quitted it, and suffered her to undress, and put her to bed as usual; but was no sooner there, than instead of composing herself to sleep, she began to reflect on what he had said: the words, that there was no answering for the consequences of a passion such as his, gave her the most terrible idea.

Dorilaus had privately ordered a very magnificent collation, which being served up, Louisa did the honours of the table with so good a grace, that madam d' Espargnes was charmed with her, and took an opportunity of asking Dorilaus when she might hope the happiness of calling so amiable a lady by the name of sister.

This letter was dispatched immediately, to the end he might receive it, at least, as soon as that from his sister with the expected remittances. Monsieur du Plessis arrives at Paris: his reception from Dorilaus and Louisa: the marriage of these lovers agreed upon.

Yet was she far from repenting having rejected Dorilaus, or being in the lead influenced by the example of others.

Amidst these meditations the thoughts of Dorilaus frequently intervened: she reflected on the obligations she had to him, and the mighty difference between the morals of that truly noble and generous man, and most of those she had seen at mrs.
