Harry grasps his cousin's hand with ardour.

I do not know what privilege of cousinship he would not like to claim, only he is so timid.

They call the English selfish and cold.

He at first thought his relatives were so: but how mistaken he was! How kind and affectionate they are, especially the Earl,--and dear, dear Maria! How he wishes he could recall that letter which he had written to Mrs.Mountain and his mother, in which he hinted that his welcome had been a cold one! The Earl his cousin was everything that was kind, had promised to introduce him to London society, and present him at Court, and at White's.

He was to consider Castlewood as his English home.
