2 o'clock
It is really pretty enough that every absurd animal , who takes upon him to make love to one , is to fancy himself entitled to a return : I have no patience with the men 's ridiculousness : have you , Lucy ? But I see a ship coming down under full sail ; it may be Emily and her friends : the colours are all out , they slacken sail ; they drop anchor opposite the house ; 't is certainly them ; I must fly to the beach : music as I am a person , and an awning on the deck : the boat puts off with your brother in it . Adieu for a moment : I must go and invite them on shore . 2 o'clock . 'T was Emily and Mrs. Melmoth , with two or three very pretty French women ; your brother is a happy man : I found tea and coffee under the awning , and a table loaded with Montreal fruit , which is vastly better than ours ; by the way , the colonel has brought me an immensity ; he is so gallant and all that : we regaled ourselves , and landed ; they dine here , and we dance in the evening ; we are to have a syllabub in the wood : my father has sent for Sir George and Major Melmoth , and half a dozen of the most agreable men , from Quebec : he is enchanted with his little Emily , he loved her when she was a child . I can not tell you how happy I am ; my Emily is handsomer than ever ; you know how partial I am to beauty : I never had a friendship for an ugly woman in my life . Adieu !
