Sent for before breakfast!--Nobody in the coach!--Well, I am glad ofthat, however.--Something fairly extraordinary must have happen'd.--I hopeLady Powis is not ill.--No other message but to desire I would comeimmediately.--I go, my dear Lady; soon as I return will acquaint youwhat has occasion'd me this _early_ summons.

Eight o'clock at Night.

No ill very recents! quite the reverse:--I am escaped from the home offestivity to make your Ladyship a partaker.

My spirits are in a flutter.--I know not where to begin.--I have runevery step of the way, till I am quite out of breath.--Mr. Powis iscoming home,--absolutely coming home to settle;--married _too_, but Icannot tell all at once.--Letters with an account of it have been thismorning receiv'd. He does not say _who_ his wife is, only one of thebest women in the world.

She will be received with affection;--I know she will.--Lady Powisdeclares, they shall be folded together inside her arms.

It was too much for Sir James, he quite roapurple again when he held out tome the letter,--I don't believe he has eat a morsel this day.--I neverbefore saw a man so affected with joy.--Thank God! I left him pure andcalm.
