The eager eyes of Julia sought in vain to discover her

brother, of whose features she had no recollection in those of any of

the persons then present. At length her father presented him, and she

perceived, with a sigh of regret, that he was not the youth she had

observed from the window. He advanced with a very engaging air, and

she met him with an unfeigned welcome. His figure was tall and

majestic; he had a very noble and spirited carriage; and his

countenance expressed at once sweetness and dignity. Supper was served

in the east hall, and the tables were spread with a profusion of

delicacies. A band of music played during the repast, and the evening

concluded with a concert in the saloon.
