Excerpt from Romance of the Pyrenees, Vol. 2 of 4 These arguments, unanswered, proved victorious and as the clock struck the last stroke of twelve our heroine tremulously and fearfully arose, and, looking cautiously around her, approached the map against which she was to press to gain an admittance into the church; but there she stopped, alarmed, and apprehending the eye of Oh Servation. She thought of the passage from her chamber as being more secret; but the terrors of the preceding night made her shrink from the idea of going through the scene Of them, unattended, except by fears, which the uncertainty Of the propriety Of what she was premeditating would most forcibly augment. At length, after many efforts, she sum moned sufficient courage to press the ao tuating spring when immediately the pan nel receded, and through a small aperture she beheld the stranger at the foot of the monumentfitanding with folded arms, and eyes anxiously fixed upon the chasm. It was now too late, even had she wished it, to change her intention; for he saw her on the moment, and, as she'pushed the pannel open for admission, hastily sprung forward to receive and to assist her; and after closing the aperture with much speed and circum spection, he seated himself by her on the base Of the monument, close to the spring that would re-admit her to the library, and in the most respectful and animated terms expressed his gratitude for the confidence she thus reposed in him.
