In plainer language, it was twelve o'clock, and all the family, as we have said, lay buried in drink and sleep, except only Mrs Western, who was deeply engaged in reading a political pamphlet, and except our heroine, who now softly stole down-stairs, and, having unbarred and unlocked one of the house-doors, sallied forth, and hastened to the place of appointment.
By the time she had completed these operations a dressing-bell sounded, and quickly exchanging her travelling costume for a filmy little dinner dress of some soft, shimmering material, she sallied downstairs in search of the dining-room. Mrs.

About midnight on that eventful landing, "Boz," everybody called him "Boz" in those days, having finished his supper, came down into the office of the hotel, and, joining the young Earl of M , his fellow-voyager, sallied out for a first look at Boston streets. It was a stinging night, and the moon was at the full.
Merry voices mingled in tones of deep gratitude as they once more sallied forth to enjoy the pleasure of the woods. None were more exultant than the inmates of Government House. From Sir Howard to the child at the feet of Lady Douglas, all shared alike in the pleasure of anticipation.
