I was in such haste on receiving Lady Powis's message, that I ran down to the coach, my hat and cloak in my hand.--Mr. and Mrs. Jenkings were talking to the coachman.--I soon perceived by them something pleasing had happen'd.--They caught me in their arms, and I thought would have smother'd me in their embraces; crying out, Mr. Powis is coming home, my dear;--Mr. Powis is coming home:--for God's sake, Madam, make haste up to the Hall. In getting into the coach, I stepp'd on my apron, and fell against the opposite door.--My right arm was greatly bruis'd, which I did not perceive till I drew on my glove. The moment I alighted, I ran to the breakfast-parlour; but finding no one there, went directly to her Ladyship's dressing-room.--She open'd the door, when she heard me coming. I flew to her.--I threw my arms about her neck, and all I could say in my hurry was, Joy, Joy, Joy! I am all joy, my love, she return'd--I am made up of nothing else. I quitted her to run to Sir James, who was sitting in a great chair with a letter held out. I believe I kiss'd him twenty times before I took it;--there could be no harm in that surely.--Such endearments I should have shewn my father, on the like tender occasion. He wept, as I have said, till he quite roared again.--I laid his head on my shoulder, and it was some time before I would mention his son's name. Lord Darcey held one of Sir James's hands: he was in the room when I enter'd; but I declare I never saw him till he spoke. He is safe _now_,--after what happened yesterday,--safe from any imputation on _my_ account-- Very kind and very civil, upon my word! O! your Ladyship never heard such a fuss as he made about the scratch on my arm.--I affect to look pleased when he speaks to me, that he might not take it into his head I am mortified. He must be the happiest creature in the world; I honour him for the grateful affection he shews Sir James and Lady Powis. Breakfast stood on the table: not a soul had broke their fast.--Her Ladyship was here, there, and every where.--I was sadly afraid they would be all sick; at length I prevailed on them to drink a cup of chocolate.-- Mr. Watson, good man notwithstanding his indisposition, got up at eleven.--I met him coming from his apartment, and had the pleasure of leading him to the happy family.-- His congratulations were delivered with such serene joy,--such warmth of affection,--as if he had cull'd the heart-felt satisfaction of both _parents_.
