'I recollect meeting a gentleman at Canterbury, said Miss Snevellicci, 'only for a few moments, for I was leaving the company as he joined it, so like you that I felt almost certain it was the same. 'I see you now for the first time, rejoined Nicholas with all due gallantry. 'I am sure I never saw you before; I couldn't have forgotten it.

Miss Ledrook eked out this speech with so many mysterious nods and frowns before she shut the door again, that a profound silence came upon all the company, during which Miss Snevellicci's papa looked very big indeed several sizes larger than life at everybody in turn, but particularly at Nicholas, and kept on perpetually emptying his tumbler and filling it again, until the ladies returned in a cluster, with Miss Snevellicci among them.

'Such a fate is almost to be envied, returned Nicholas, 'but I am very sorry to hear it nevertheless. 'What a creature you are to flatter! said Miss Snevellicci, buttoning her glove in much confusion.
Sing, God of Love, and tell me in what dearth Thrice-gifted SNEVELLICCI came on earth, To thrill us with her smile, her tear, her eye, Sing, God of Love, and tell me quickly why.

The first house to which they bent their steps, was situated in a terrace of respectable appearance.
'Don't what, my child? 'Talk in that way. 'Why not? said Mr Snevellicci. 'I hope you don't suppose there's anybody here who is to prevent my talking as I like? 'Nobody wants to, pa, rejoined his daughter. 'Nobody would if they did want to, said Mr Snevellicci.
