Five o’clock
The carriage was ordered when Albert came here ! Poor thing , there was never fonder love between a brother and sister ; she hardly had a thought that did not centre in him . It breaks my heart to think how often we have seen them walking arm-in-arm together , and said they might be taken for a pair of lovers . ` Five o'clock . -- Annette begs me to conclude her letter . My father has returned home , and fetched her to Coalworth , to be with my mother , and the poor young lady -LRB- already , I fear , Countess of St. Erme -RRB- , who , he tells us , continues buoyed up by the delusion that her brother may yet be found alive , and is calling on all around to use the utmost exertions for his recovery . I regret that I can not go in Annette 's stead ; but I can not leave home in mamma 's absence , as poor Louisa is much affected by Albert 's peril , and in so nervous a state that she will not hear of my quitting her for a moment .
