"For behold! at two in the morning I discover the object of my adoration and the daughter of an estimable prelate, most calumniously clad and busily employed in rumpling my supply of cravats.
I ventured to inquire her name and address, by whom she had been recommended, or how he had been led to make choice of her. ‘She is a very estimable, pious young person,’ said he; ‘you needn’t be afraid.
