Aber das Schicksal in Gestalt Sr. Ehrwürden des Herrn Nasmyth trat zwischen Miß Temple und mich; – ich sah sie kurz nach der Ceremonie der Trauung im Reisekleide in die Postchaise steigen; ich sah den Wagen den Hügel hinauf fahren und hinter diesem Hügel verschwinden.
But destiny, in the shape of the Rev. Mr. Nasmyth, came between me and Miss Temple: I saw her in her travelling dress step into a post-chaise, shortly after the marriage ceremony; I watched the chaise mount the hill and disappear beyond its brow; and then retired to my own room, and there spent in solitude the greatest part of the half-holiday granted in honour of the occasion.
