It is probable tat Richardson could not say more for his Italian knowledge than did old Roger Ascham of Archery fame, when he declared: "I was once in Italy, but I thank God my stay there was only nine days." "Sir Charles Grandison" has also the substantial advantage of ending well: that is, if to marry Sir Charles can be so regarded, and certainly Harriet deemed it desirable.
During the night Grandison came to camp and assembled the officers. He expressed his sorrow at the sudden shadow that had fallen on the fair fame of the regiment, but since the panic had not been followed, as such outbreaks often are, by the total destruction of the men, there would be abundant chance to redeem the disgrace of the day.
On the stern of a small steamboat which was receding rapidly from the wharf, with her nose pointing toward Canada, there stood a group of familiar dark faces, and the look they cast backward was not one of longing for the fleshpots of Egypt. The colonel saw Grandison point him out to one of the crew of the vessel, who waved his hand derisively toward the colonel.
"Now, den," exclaimed Grandison, "heah comes Mahs'r Morris, and I's gwine ter put dis question to hisse'f. He oughter know how ter 'cide bout it, if anybody does." "You ain't truly gwine ter put dat question to him, is ye?" asked 'Bijah, quickly. "No, sah," replied the other. "I's gwine to put the case on a dif'rent show-pint.

"Cardinal Grandison is giving some lectures on science," said the vice-chancellor's lady, quietly. "It is remorse," said Apollonia. "Their clever men can never forget that unfortunate affair of Galileo, and think they can divert the indignation of the ninteenth century by mock zeal about red sandstone or the origin of species."
'I wish we had brought a guitar, said Miss Grandison; 'Count Mirabel, I am sure, would sing to us? 'And you, you will sing to us without a guitar, will you not? said the Count, smiling. 'Henrietta, will you sing? said Miss Grandison. 'With you. 'Of course; now you must, said the Count: so they did.
He stepped forward to assist Miss Grandison. The darkness of the evening prevented him from observing her swollen eyes and agitated countenance. She sprang out of the carriage in silence, and immediately ran up into her room. As for Glastonbury, he only observed it was very cold, and entered the house with Sir Ratcliffe.
'But cannot we cure his unhappiness? said his lordship. 'We are his friends; it seems to me, with such friends as Miss Grandison and Miss Temple one ought never to be unhappy. 'Miss Temple can scarcely be called a friend of Ferdinand, said Katherine. 'Indeed, a very warm one, I assure you. 'Ah, that is your influence. 'Nay, it is her own impulse.
