My heart beat so strongly as I rode up to the door that I half resolved to return.

I rang the bell.

Sir George was in town.

Miss Dashwood had just gone, five minutes before, to spend some days at Carton.

"It is fate!" thought I as I turned from the spot and walked slowly beside my horse towards Dublin.
In the few days that intervened before my leaving town, my time was occupied from morning to night; the various details of my uniform, outfit, etc., were undertaken for me by Power.
