1778, 1779

"I was myself almost equally disturbed, by the croud of confused ideas that occured to me."

Soon after, Mr. Macartney, in a low voice, entreated me not to deny him the gratification of returning the money. While he was speaking, the young Lady I saw yesterday at the assembly, with a large party, entered the pump-room. Mr. Macartney turned as pale as death, his voice faltered, and he seemed not to know what he said. I was myself almost equally disturbed, by the croud of confused ideas that occured to me. Good Heaven, thought I, why should he be thus agitated?--is it possible this can be the young Lady he loved?
