CHAPTER XVI.
June 1st, 1821 .-- We have just returned to Staningley--that is, we returned some days ago, and I am not yet settled, and feel as if I never should be.

We left town sooner than was intended, in consequence of my uncle's indisposition;--I wonder what would have been the result if we had stayed the full time.

I am quite ashamed of my new-sprung distaste for country life.

All my former occupations seem so tedious and dull, my former amusements so insipid and unprofitable.

I cannot enjoy my music, because there is no one to hear it.
