"It is the last night I shall spend here for some months," he said; "perhaps the last I shall ever spend here, and I have stayed longer than I intended, but I did not like to abridge my enjoyment."

I am wearied of this infected city, and shall be heartily glad to quit it. A few months in the country with Amabel will be enchanting."
