DURING the last French war hot one, a youhg Englifli officer. wW
we (hall here call Nevil. that had been wounded in a (kirniuh w
brought into Brussels, and billeted upon gentleman, where he was lakT
the moft humane and tender care of t the gentleman was a married nuT
,nnd his wife and daughters were in the house; the youngest of the | atl( /
being a profeffed nan, though on account of the troubles in the counts
as it is usually the case, (he had left her convent aod come to relide at her
father's. r
This young lady was of an order, which particularly obliges to the care
and attendance o the lick ; m consequence of which, (he comUntly a j
ministered to Nevil, who was not only wounded, but had an after attacl*
of a violent fever: (he sHve him all his phyfick; fome times even drefll-d
bis wound, which was tn his brealt, and not uofrequentlv fat up with
him whole nights, to rel.eve his nurse and other attendants’ As he grew
better, the care of Eivira, for so we (hall call this ladv, slackened - hoe
it began ro make great impression upon the patient; he ‘faw every day this
beautiful attendant, and soon grew sensible of her charms; and by the”
time he was able to walk about his chamber, his paftion grew so violent
that he could no longer contain it within the bounds o( secrecy.
At length, her service being no longer neceflary, the lady appeared no
more. Every person that cam* to him, he enquired'of for Elvira, but
dill received vague, but civil anfwe.s; a week pafled; he saw nothing of
her. He *as no longer able to bear the deprivation of her fight Nevil
as the elder son of an opulent family, in the Weft of*England, in pre*
sent pofleffion of an handsome fortune, and in expeftation of a very con(T
derable one; he found that Elvira's father was, with regard to fortune
but in a middling way ; he refolvcd to disclose himfelf without further he
sitation ; accordingly, having one morning desired to,fee him in his cham
ber, after having returned him many thanks for the great civilities and
friendihip he bad experienced in his house, he began to give fome account
of his fortune and conneaiors; he told him he ftiould never enjoy his
!! f (* hih .’ God owed 10 h ‘ C’re) nor ht possessions, with
half the fatisfaftion, as when both were devoted to the happiness of one
belonging to this kind host and beoefaAor. In (hort, the fair Elvira had
cured him of the wounds given by his enemies, but (he had left a wound
behind, which none but (he could curet he was willing to make what
settlement the father plcafed. or to enter into any other terms of agreement
and begged instantly, his permiffipn to makd her his wife. “ Sir it is
invpoflibie“ Good God ! how so “My daughter is a nun.*’ * The
fatal confequeace of this reply was immediate 1 youn? Nevil was fc'vrrd
with a deep melancholy, which was fuccecdcd b y a relapse of hi fover
that soon reduced him to extremity. The regiment he belonged to. of
which his uncle was colonel, was now at Bruftcls; he bad every help
to , his nf Pl ,cW I hat Coo,d Procured 1 but as the principal toot
of his disorder was inquietude of mind, for Want of beloved obji, the
pbyttetans declared that there was no hopes of their patient, unless his
former fair Doßor returned to help him. the yourtg lady was not vet
gone back to her nu Doery, but at an uncle*, near the city, where foe had
aftumed the habit of her Order} her father, with much intreaty, was
prevailed on to fuffer her second attendanc* upon young. Nevil, tmd (he
came in.her habit. His delirium, before very violent, abated almoit
immediately: the next day. he was totally iome to himfelf, aod he e
very day got strength } but, alas 1 as he recovered, the unfortunate Elvira
began to focw the symptoms of the distemper, which (he had catchedfrom
him 1 in a word, (he ficke id, and the third day expired
During her illness, Nevil could never be drawn from her door, except
when by absolute force he was obliged to go to bed. However, when
he heard of her death, which could not be concealed from him. he re
ceived it without any extraordinary emotions, only he in treated to fee
the corpse, and at length he obtained per.nilfioo ;he flood at /t he foot of
the bed, gazing upon ic for a few minutes, then left the room, and, from
that time, never exchanged a word with any one either in audios or an
(wer, but always imagined he w,s i n oom f any with and ulkW to the
w* 1 “A'” a W T 10 L raCa,S ’ ht a chair for heT, and •
plate, helped her, drank to her; and, on retiring, seemed to wajt for
her at tba door t.H ready to foUow him, nay, w.nen he was alone,
people hive llftened, and heard him bold long con ventions, fometimel
grave and sometime. merry, and whe V ny one came into the mom, he
was immediately silent, unless he spoke to the obje* .fhi, idea.
In this melancholy way, he was brought by his uncle to England,
where he remained lome months irt hi* father's hoiife, without appearing
to have the lead remembrance of any One: when (poke te, he only an
fwered wtthadow.look, and a deep Ggl,, be performed yet .11 the func

care to indulge hts fancy, (eetng there was no cure for his distemper. 7
About this time, a young lady came to visit at a neighbouring rentW

saw her and thought (he might be of fome use in redoing* his nephew to
