 accompanied by the happy party from Aubrey Castle, I arrived on Friday forenoon.
Your Hermione, in presence of these dear and amiable friends, gave her hand to Lord Linrose on Wednesday last. No addition was made to the family on that occasion, Mr. and Mrs. Price excepted, from whom we parted on Thursday morning, as this little mansion could not have contained more visitors than at present are its inhabitants.

All the notice Lord Linrose took of this rupture was, to tell her that as his grandfather appeared offended by some private particulars of her Ladyship's conduct, it was not in his power to solicit the honour of a visit from her on the occasion of an event
