least recollection at what i believe was te a e park to her some ridiculous stories of an old irish groom of m uncle s your sister loves to laugh you think her more hearted than i am more easily amused he replied consequently know smiling better company i could not have hoped to entertain you with irish anecdotes during a ten mile drive naturally i believe i am as lively as but i ha f more to think of now you have undoubtedly � and there are situations in which very high spirits would your prospects however are too fair to justify want of spirits you have a very smiling scene before you do you mean literally or literally yes certainly die sun shines and the park very cheerful but that iron gate that ha ba ve me a feeling of restraint hardship i cannot get out as the said as she spoke and it was with expression she walked to the gate he followed her mr rush worth is so long this key and for the world you would not get out without the key and without mr s authority and protection or i think you might with little difficulty pass round the edge of the gate here with my assistance i think it might be done if you wished to be more at and could allow yourself to think it not nonsense i certainly can get out that way and i will mr will be here in a moment you know � we shall not be out of sight or if we are miss price will be so good as to tell him that he will find us near that the grove of oak on th feeling all this to be wrong could not help making an effort to prevent it you will hurt yourself miss she cried you will certainly hurt yourself against those � you will tear your gown � you will be in danger of slipping into the ha ha you had better not go her cousin was safe on the other side white these words were spoken and smiling with all the good humour of park she said thank you my dear hut i and my gown are alive and well and so good hy was again left to her solitude and with no increase of pleasant feelings for she was sorry for almost all that she had seen and heard astonished at miss and angry with mr by taking a and as it appeared to her very unreasonable direction to the ey were soon beyond her eye and for some longer she remained without sight or sound of any companion she seemed to have the little wood all to her i self she could almost have thought that and miss had left it but that it was impossible for to forget her so entirely she was again roused from disagreeable by den footsteps somebody was coming at a quick pace down the principal walk she expected mr but it was who hot and out of breath and with a look of disappointment cried out on seeing her where are the others i thought maria and mr were with you explained a pretty trick upon my word i cannot see them any where looking eagerly into the park but they can not be very far off and i think i am equal to to much as maria even without help but mr will be here in a moment with the key do wait for mr not i indeed i have had enough of the family for one morning child i have but this moment escaped from his horrible mother such a penance as i have been enduring while you were sitting here so composed and so happy it might have been as weu perhaps if you had been in my place but you always contrive to keep out of these this was a most unjust reflection but could al low for it and let it pass was vexed and her per was hasty but she felt that it would not last and therefore taking no notice only asked her if she had not seen mr yes yes we saw him he was away as il park upon life and deaths and could but just spare time to us his errand and where you all were it is a pity that he have so much trouble i nothing that is miss maria s concern i am not obliged to myself for her sins the mother i could not as loi as my tiresome aunt was dancing about with the keeper but the son i can get away from and she immediately scrambled across the fence ai walked away not attending to s last question whether she had seen any thing of miss and � the sort of in which now sat seeing mr prevented her thinking so much their continued absence however as she might have she felt that he had been very ill used and was quite u happy in having to communicate what had passed joined her within five minutes after s exit and she made the best of the story he was evidently and displeased in no common degree at first he said any thing his looks only expressed his extreme and vexation and he walked to the gate and there without seeming to know what to do they desired me to stay � my cousin maria me to say that you would find them at that or i do not believe i shall go any further said he si i see nothing of them by the time i get to they may be gone somewhere else i have h walking enough and he sat down with a most gloomy countenance i am very sorry said she it is very and she longed to be able to say something more to t purpose after an interval of silence i think they
