cried out,
Not so fast, Emily here is the very same
young fellow who was at your house yesterday;
he is walking all alone and lie looks wishiul, as

with pleasure replied Sir Edward biting
his lips, 4 never refuse the escort of ladies'
How very pretty, said Louisa, and as he
smiImgly extended his joweed hand, and their
eyes met.
But, Notwithstanding the part she was playing,
she was extremely modest, and her eyes fell
while modest blush oyerspread her cheek,
which was beautiful in the eyes of Sir Edward,
although he could not explain such susceptibility
from one who would hail 4 stranger and ask him
to walk with her. At al events thought he,
such mmgling Of simplicity and modesy is rare
and therefore interesting, and Just for novetys
sake, he resolved to pursue ner acquaintance,
and try to draw her out.
In vain he sought to engage Miss Howard in
CONVERSATION; she was SO panied and embQr-
rassed she could reply only by monosyabIes;
but the Iighthearted Louisa chatted on right

trouble she was giving her companion.

turned her souI-lit eye upon him, his tender gaze
recalled her senses, and again her eyes fell and
a deep blush o'prspread her cheeks

seeing, though she believed it momentary,) she
half resolved to let pride alone love her for what
she was, and independently brave public opinion.
/ But alas pride had g9.Aed toe strong hold on
her heart and during the reception Of morning
callers she found herself as much annoyed as
on the previous day.
Immediately after dinaer sle took the arm of
Louisa, and drawing her away, said, Come let
