Paflionate people rtafon fogely—Helen knew nothing of my coming to Quebec, Lr my letter from Mon¬ treal had never reached her ; yet I was fo much enraged at no1 finding her, that I form* ed the resolution of being abfent when fhe returned. A whole week was I nurfingmy tu^c, and praifing, in my heart, the propriety of mv determination, and on Monday, when fhe was expected home, I fet out for the bay of ShaSore. As the hour approached which would bring my cruel miftreis to Que¬ bec, I began to grow unhappy. I condem¬ ned my ralhnefs—I could fee nothing digut- lied m my refolution. How waa (he to know of my arrival ? how could fhe return, even if fat did know, and leave her party ? I turn, ed my hoife more than twenty times to meas¬ ure back my way, but falfe fhame came to my aiTiftance—not to (hew the propriety of my refolution, but to plead the weaknefs of giving it up. I was not convinced yet, my new Monitor prevailed, and I Went (lowly forward. At length my agitation cf mind increafed to fuch a degree that 1 became fe- veiiih—I trembled— I panted for breath, and darkn^ia coming on I put up for the i.ight. The poor family with whom I lodg¬ ed were extremely officious in adminidering iimplcs, for they thought that I was very fi*k. I could not Deep, and before it was light I had determined to return. After Coming to this deciiion, 1 began to wonder at my folly ; and getting up at 4 o'clock, I felt better, and in imagination 1 was already in Quebec.
