Description

Excerpt from The Young Lady's Book: A Manual of Elegant Recreations, Exercises, and Pursuits Chinese, - a gilt and richly inlaid table, covered with a variety of beautiful minerals, shells, and articles of virtu, - the Editor, after having been duly announced by Prudence, her bower-woman, found his cousin Penelope, on his entrance into Lady Mary's brilliant boudoir. Lady Mary was standing, attired for a ride, near her fair kinswoman; and Aunt Elinor, the very pearl of the ancient sisterhood of spinsters, entered the apartment before the usual greetings were concluded. Your cousin, young ladies, said Aunt Elinor, wishes to look round Lady Mary's boudoir again, to see if anything has escaped his notice. This was a very mysterious announcement. Lady Mary, after looking earnestly, first at her aunt, and then at Penelope, as if she were desirous of reading an explanation in their eyes, exclaimed: Escaped his notice, aunt! I cannot conceive what you mean. Why, it would seem, child, was the old lady's reply, that the arrangement and decorations of your boudoir, have, in some degree, attracted his admiration; although, for my own part, to speak candidly, - and you know I love you equally, - Penelope's seems to me by far the more preferable of the two; indeed, with one or two alterations, it might be pronounced perfect.
