AN ELDERLY LADY. 133 I pass over the surprise and pleasure, which our stay in the French capital, during the first few weeks, afforded me. I was of an age when every novelty charms ; and I was travelling with a person whose sole study was to increase my stock of enjoyments. While at Paris, we met, at the English am- bassador's, the Marquis of Clydesdale, a young man remarkable for personal attractions, and not less so for an amiability of manner and general information, that rendered his societ...y peculiarly agreeable to, and universally sought after, by his compatriots. An expression of seriousness, amounting almost to melancholy, pervaded the countenance of Lord Clydesdale, and, in my opinion, lent it an additional interest ; and an occasional pensiveness and abstraction detracted not from this feeling. I found myself unconsciously comparing the countenance of Lord Clydesdale with that of one still remem- bered, though no longer loved ; and I was com- pelled to own, that, for intellectual expression, 134 THE CONFESSIONS OF that of his lordship possessed the superiority.
