no other light than that of a distinguished acquaintance, could have

have seen, not without trembling, the happiness of one whom I had known
and valued from her childhood risked in the experiment.

broken off, and of which, it will be perceived, the noble author himself
had, for some weeks, at this time, interrupted the progress.

is ours!--without one spark of love on either side," &c. &c.]
