Excerpt from The British Novelists, Vol. 46: With an Essay and Prefaces, Biographical and Critical

"Dark power! with shudd'ring, meek submitted thought,
Be mine to read the. visions old
Which thy awak'ning bards have told,
And, lest they meet my blasted view,
Hold each strange tale devoutly true."

Dear ma'amselle! said Annette, do not look sq pale. I am quite frightened to see you. Here is a fine bustle below stairs, all the servants running to and fro, and none of them fast enough! Here is a bustle, indeed, all of a sudden, and nobody knows for what!
