12 o'clock
My heart is so light , Lucy , I can not describe it : I love Emily at my soul : 't is three years since I saw her , and there is something so romantic in finding her in Canada : there is no saying how happy I am : I want only you , to be perfectly so . 3 o'clock . The messenger is returned ; Sir George is gone with a party of French ladies to Lake Charles : Emily blushed when the message was delivered ; he might reasonably suppose they would be here to-day , as the wind was fair : your brother dances with my sweet friend ; she loses nothing by the exchange ; she is however a little piqued at this appearance of disrespect . 12 o'clock . Sir George came just as we sat down to supper ; he did right , he complained first , and affected to be angry she had not sent an express from _ Point au Tremble _ . He was however gayer than usual , and very attentive to his mistress ; your brother seemed chagrined at his arrival ; Emily perceived it , and redoubled her politeness to him , which in a little time restored part of his good humor : upon the whole , it was an agreable evening , but it would have been more so , if Sir George had come at first , or not at all . The ladies lie here , and we go all together in the morning to Quebec ; the gentlemen are going .
