Charles was, from that moment, a buoyant, cheerful, exhilarated being a new character; he put on manliness, and fortitude, and somewhat of involuntary pride; whilst Emily felt, that enriched by the affections of him whom she regarded as her wisest, kindest earthly friend, by the acquisition of his love, who had led her heart to higher good than this world at its best can give her, she was elevated and ennobled from the simple Indian child, into the loved and honoured Christian woman.
Henry Bromley, Stephen Fox, and John Howe, three members of the lower house who had signalized themselves in defence of the minister, were now ennobled, and created barons of Montford, Ilchester, and Chedworth. A camp was formed near Colchester; and the king having appointed a regency, set out in May for his German dominions.*

Doña Rita and nothing more—unique and indefinable.” He stopped with a disagreeable smile. “And of peasant stock?” I exclaimed in the strangely conscious silence that fell between Mills and Blunt. “Oh!
