But George, at times, seem’d sad and sore afraid;
At intervals he scarcely could restrain
From weeping: Arnold now announc’d to Jane
The time was fast approaching when, in fact,
Her luggage in the carriage should be pack’d:
Then she, in answer, to her room repairs
And, more serene, her humble self prepares;
Return’d, and what? a picture to behold,—
Her eyes like diamonds unadorn’d with gold:
With hasty steps she gain’d her father’s side;
