First sentence: IT was a happy day at Meadowes Court;-a day long looked for, come at last;-the seventeenth birthday of the only daughter,-nay, the only child-of the house; who, from her earliest girlhood, had been promised that, on entering her eighteenth year, she should be emancipated from the trammels of the governess, and introduced into society; that is, as far as comported with the facilities of a neighbourhood, where society, according to fashionable interpretation, there was none.
