Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paul's Letters to His Kinsfolk
Till these news arrive, I cannot ?atter myself that things will go perfectly right at the old cha teau; or rather my vanity suggests, that the ah sence of so principal a person among its inmates and intimates has been a chilling damp upon the harmless pleasures and pursuits of those who have remained behind. I shall be somewhat disappointed, if the Major has displayed alacrity in putting his double-barrel in order for the moors; or if the Laird has shown his usual solicitude for a season able sprinkling of rain to refresh the turnip-field. Peter's speculations on politics, and his walks to the bowling-green, have been darkened, doubtless, and saddened, by the uncertainty of my fate and 1 even suspect the Person has spared his ?ock one Seventhly of his text in his anxiety upon my account.
