Sir George came just as we sat down to supper; he did right, he
complained first, and affected to be angry she had not sent an express
from _Point au Tremble_. He was however gayer than usual, and very
attentive to his mistress; your brother seemed chagrined at his
arrival; Emily perceived it, and redoubled her politeness to him, which
in a little time restored part of his good humor: upon the whole, it
was an agreable evening, but it would have been more so, if Sir George
had come at first, or not at all.
The ladies lie here, and we go all together in the morning to
Quebec; the gentlemen are going.
I steal a moment to seal, and give this to the colonel, who will put
it in his packet to-morrow.
