! Emily staFed, with her mother / need not
tell you that th9 confidence of her husband
had rendered Ter sacred to me, and that al
though | loved her more than brother ought
to, | always regarded her as my sister.
Six months passed by: Emily lived with
her mother; and before her husband set out
he had re4uired'of her that she should contin-
ne to receive company. Nv poor friend fear
ed nothing mora than the reputation Of jeal-
Gus husband; che fact is. he adored Emily,
. and had entire confidence In her.
Emily 1ntiHEed to give parties. Moreover,
the receptions We're all intimate. and her moth
er's presence removed all pretext for blame
+ consequently nobody ever thought as much
as casting 4 reflection on her reputation.
I Ii is uow about three months since Mr.. de
+ Chateau-Renaud got introduced to her You

/ to me; he was whata man Of the world ought

hardly knsw nyseit.-Or rather, / had per-
ceived that the same impression which l had

himself felt
I On her part, It appeared to me, that Emily
\ had received him with unusual coquetry /
was probably mistaken. but as | have told
/ you, in tie lIep.h Of nay heart had not ceas-
ed to love Family, and ! was jealous.
Therefore al so at the next S0iree. did not
. lose sight Of NE. Chateau-Renaud; perhaps
he perceived ng afectation to follow him with
my eyes. aTsd i seemed TO me that in speak
ing in a low voice TO Emily, he tried to ridi-
cule me.
If had listened only to the voice Of nv
( heart, from that evening ! would have tried
/ to quarei nh him on some pretext or other,
and wonld have fought him; but | restrained
myself on yaHectng on the absurdity Of my
! conduct.
