Her misgiving was therefore forgotten almost as soon as it was entertained; and she was in comparatively good spirits—though still affected by her recent separation from her sister—when she alighted at the door of Mrs. Slingsby's residence in Old Burlington Street. HER MISGIVING WAS THEREFORE FORGOTTEN ALMOST AS SOON AS IT WAS ENTERTAINED AND SHE WAS IN COMPARATIVELY GOOD SPIRITS THOUGH STILL AFFECTED BY HER RECENT SEPARATION FROM HER SISTER WHEN SHE ALIGHTED AT THE DOOR OF MISSUS SLINGSBY'S RESIDENCE IN OLD BURLINGTON STREET
g lady urged various remonstrances against this resolution; but her father over-ruled them all—and it was accordingly determined at length that she should repair to Old Burlington Street on the following morning. But when the morning came, and the vehicle which was to convey her to London drove up to the door, how appalling were the feelings which agitated,—nay, absolutely raged in the breast of Mr. Torrens! Acute—intensely acute was the pain which he endured in endeavouring to subdue those emotions,—or rather in composing his features in such a way that his countenance might not indicate the awful warring that disturbed his soul. With streaming eyes did Rosamond take leave of her father; and as she stepped into the chaise, a presentiment of evil flashed across her imagination. But she was young—naturally inclined to look upon the bright side of things—and too inexperienced to know much of the dreadful pit-falls which the artifice of man has hollowed in the pathways of the moral world. THE YOUNG LADY URGED VARIOUS REMONSTRANCES AGAINST THIS RESOLUTION BUT HER FATHER OVER RULED THEM ALL AND IT WAS ACCORDINGLY DETERMINED AT LENGTH THAT SHE SHOULD REPAIR TO OLD BURLINGTON STREET ON THE FOLLOWING MORNING BUT WHEN THE MORNING CAME AND THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS TO CONVEY HER TO LONDON DROVE UP TO THE DOOR HOW APPALLING WERE THE FEELINGS WHICH AGITATED NAY ABSOLUTELY ENRAGED IN THE BREAST OF MISTER TORRANCE ACUTE INTENSELY ACUTE WAS THE PAIN WHICH HE ENDURED IN ENDEAVOURING TO SUBDUE THOSE EMOTIONS OR RATHER BY COMPOSING HIS FEATURES IN SUCH A WAY THAT HIS COUNTENANCE MIGHT NOT INDICATE THE AWFUL WARRING THAT DISTURBED HIS SOUL WITH STREAMING EYES DID ROSAMOND TAKE LEAVE OF HER FATHER AND AS SHE STEPPED INTO THE CHAISE A PRESENTIMENT OF EVIL FLASHED ACROSS HER IMAGINATION BUT SHE WAS YOUNG NATURALLY INCLINED TO LOOK UPON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS AND TOO INEXPERIENCED TO KNOW MUCH OF THE DREADFUL PITFALLS WHICH THE ARTIFICE OF MAN HAS HOLLOWED IN THE PATHWAYS OF THE MORAL WORLD
