This was observed to me by good Lord L. For Harriet (uneasy, every eye continually upon her, thoughtful, bashful) withdrawing, a little before din-ner, with a cast of her eve to me, I followed her to her dressing-room. There, with so much expressiveness of raej^fting, though not of language; so much tenderness of love; so much pious gratitude; so much true virgin sensibility; did she open her heart to me; that 1 shall ever revolve what passed in that conversation, as the true criterion of” virgin delicacy unmingled with affectation. Nor was I displeased, that, in theheightof her grateful self-congratulation, she more than once acknowledged a sigh for the ad-mirable Clementina. We just began to express our pleasure and our hopes in the good behaviour of our Emily, when we were called to dinner.

It was a sumptuous one.

Mr. Selby was very orderly, upon the whole: but lie remembered, he said, that when he was married (and he called upon his dame to confirm it) he was obliged to wait on his bride, and the company; and lie insisted upon it, that Sir Charles should.

No, no, no, every one said; and the bride looked a little serious upon it: but Sir Charles, with an air of gaiety that infinitely became him, took a napkin from the butler; and putting it under his arm, I have only one request to make you, my dear Mr. Selby When I am more awkward than I ought to be, do you correct me; and I shall have both pride and pleasure in the task.

Adad! said Mr. Selby, looking at him with plea-sure You may dc any-thing, do any-thing; you cannot conceal the gentleman. Ads-heart, you nmst always be the first man in company Pardon me, my lords.

Sir Charles was the modestcst servitor that ever waited at table, while his napkin was under his arm: but he laid it down, while he addressed himself to the company, finding something to say to each, in his pithy, agreeable manner, as he went round the table, lie made every one happy. With what delight did the elder ladies look upon him, when he addressed himself to each of them! He stopt at the bride’s chair, and made her a compliment with an air of tenderness. I heard not what it was, sitting at distance; but she looked grateful, pleased; smiled, and blushed. He passed from her to the bride-maids, and again complimented each of them. They also seemed delighted with what he said. Then going to Mr. Selby; Why don’t you bid me resume the napkin. Sir? No, no; we see what 3’^ou can do: your conformity is enough for me. You may now sit down, when you please. You make the waiters look awk-ward.
