Excerpt from The British Novelists, Vol. 47: With an Essay, and Prefaces, Biographical and Critical

How, Ludovico, shall I reward you for your zeal? 'said Emily but, indeed, I do not now possess the means. When can you see the chevalier again? That is uncertain, signora, replied he.

Excerpt from The British Novelists, Vol. 47: With an Essay, and Prefaces, Biographical and Critical

"Thus on the chill Lapponian's dreary land,
For many a long month lost in snow profound,
When Sol from Cancer sends the seasons bland,
And in their northern cave the storms hath bound;
From silent mountains, straight, with startling sound,
Torrents are hurl'd, green hills emerge, and lo,
The trees with foliage, cliffs with flowers are crown'd;
Pure rills through vales of verdure warbling go;
And wonder, love, and joy, the peasant's heart o'erflow."

Beattie.

During this interval, Emily escaped the persecutions of Bertolini and Verezzi, by confining herself to her apartment; except that sometimes, in an evening, she ventured to walk in the adjoining corridor.
