Let my tears thank you, for I cannot speak,
————————————And if I could,
Words were not made to vent such thoughts as mine.
Dryden.
"You have taken a long walk to-night, my dear, (said the Countess, as she entered, ) I really was beginning to grow a little uneasy."
"I am concerned I caused you any uneasiness, Madam, (cried Madeline, ) I hope you will forgive my doing so. I shall take care in future not to stay out so late."
