Than fly to others which we know not of.

3. I flew towards her; my arms were already unclosed to clasp her, when, suddenly, her figure changed—her face grew pale—a stream of blood gushed from her bosom. ’Twas Evelina.

4. The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,

The solemn temples, the great globeˊ itselfˋ—

Yea, all which it inherit shall dissolve,

And, like the baseless fabric of a vision,

Leaveˊ not a wreck behindˋ.

PARENTHESIS AND PARENTHETICAL CLAUSES.

A parenthesis is an explanatory clause introduced into a sentence. Parenthesis might be omitted in reading without injuring the grammatical construction of the sentence. The tone employed in reading parenthetical clauses, should, generally, be lower than that in which the other parts of the sentence are read. The monotone is most suitable for parenthesis, but when inflections are used, as they sometimes are in short clauses, the inflection should be the same as that used at the pause immediately preceding the parenthesis, which is generally the rising inflection.
