rother, after a protracted and embarrassing
ilence.
Nay, my brother; remarked Edward, the
Ideal bi other, that were too precipitate.
Rudolph 'lives, moves, and has his heingi'
in the nfmospheie of romance; and to my
liiud it is clear, that instead of having bin-
en his vow, he has but conceived of' the
Ilea of terminating' his truth by the union
f Romance with Reality.'
